Data Package: Mass and Volume
Note: This Data Package is automatically downloaded when you craft a Large Constructor, Sentry Guns or Projectile Turrets.
This information is not relevant for those who have disabled Mass and Volume Settings.You've got yourself your first LARGE objects that you cannot fit into your personal inventory.
If you're wondering how you're going to fit that abnormally large
Constructor or
Minigun Turret into your inventory and place it on your base; this Data Package will tell you how to use the Logistics System.
First thing is to connect the input/output your Constructor to a Cargo container on the same structure (Does not include your Portable Constructor) using the menu on the left side of the Constructors Interface.
For players using the Portable Constructor, you will need to link to a base or ship's logistics system with a container on it to transfer the overly large block to the container (explained below).
Logistics System:The Logistics System is used with the
F4 Key and will allow you to access any structure's cargo logistics system that you are in range of.
You will find a "Wifi" symbol on your display that will light up if you are in range of a structure's logistics system. This will work on any owned structure you are within 4 meters of, regardless of whether it has power or not.
With the Logistics window open, select the container you want to move objects from on the right side and click the button in the middle of the screen that looks like an "
Electric Plug". This will connect your toolbar to that container.
By taking the large devices (Large Constructor, Turrets, etc...) from the container into your
yellow connected toolbar, you can now place that item from the connected toolbar as if it were in your inventory.
You can switch between your Connected Toolbar and your Regular Toolbar with the
"T" Key.
Looting with Logistics:While connected to a container anything you salvage, retrieve or pick up will be automatically deposited into the connected container. Allowing you to pick up items off the ground that are too large to fit in your inventory and place objects directly into storage without cluttering up your inventory.
Wifi Range:You can increase the range that you can connect to a Logistics Network with a
Remote Connection Block. This increases the range of the attached structure's Logistics Range by 50 meters, centered on the Remote Connection Block.
