Shipping (Building)

Shipping buildings are used to automate supply errands. It is essentially a piping system for solid items.

List of shipping buildings

Network Elements

Building a shipping network requires a Duplicant with the Mechatronics Engineering skill.

In	Name	Description	Automation Input	Power	Storage	Dimensions	Materials	Research
	Auto-Sweeper	Automates Sweeping and Supplying errands by sucking up all nearby Debris. Materials are automatically delivered to any Conveyor Loader, Conveyor Receptacle, storage, or buildings within range. An auto-sweeper's range can be viewed at any time by clicking on the building.	Green: Enable Red: Disable	-120 W		3 x 1 tiles	200 kg	Smart Storage
	Conveyor Bridge	Runs one Conveyor Rail section over another without joining them. Can be run through wall and floor tile. Separating rail systems helps ensure materials go to the intended destinations.				3 x 1 tiles	400 kg	Solid Transport
	Conveyor Chute	Unloads Solid Materials from a Conveyor Rail onto the floor. When materials reach the end of a rail they are dropped back into the world.	Green: Enable Red: Disable			1 x 1 tiles	200 kg	Solid Transport
	Conveyor Loader	Loads Solid Materials onto Conveyor Rail for transport. Only loads the resources of your choosing. Material filters can be used to determine what resources are sent down the rail.	Green: Enable Red: Disable	-120 W	1000 kg	1 x 2 tiles	200 kg	Solid Transport
	Conveyor Meter	Tracks the mass of solids on the rail. Connects to an Automation grid to automatically turn material transfer off when the specified amount has passed through it.	Green: Reset counter and start material transfer Red: Nothing	-10 W		1 x 2 tiles	25 kg 50 kg	Solid Control
	Conveyor Rail	Transports Solid Materials on a track between Conveyor Loader and Conveyor Receptacle. Can be run through wall and floor tile. Rails move materials where they'll be needed most, saving Duplicants the walk.			20 kg	1 x 1 tiles	100 kg	Solid Transport
	Conveyor Receptacle	Unloads Solid Materials from a Conveyor Rail into storage. When materials reach the end of a rail they enter a receptacle to be used by Duplicants.			100 kg	1 x 2 tiles	200 kg	Solid Control
	Conveyor Shutoff	Connects to an Automation grid to automatically turn Solid Material transport on or off. Automated conveyors save power and time by removing the need for Duplicant input.	Green: Enable Red: Disable	-10 W		1 x 2 tiles	100 kg	Solid Control
	Robo-Miner	Automatically digs out all materials in a set range. A robo-miner's range can be viewed at any time by selecting the building.	Green: Enable Red: Disable	-120 W		2 x 2 tiles	200 kg	Solid Transport
	Solid Filter	Separates one Solid from the conveyor, sending it into a dedicated Conveyor Rail. All solids are sent into the building's output conveyor, except the solid chosen for filtering.	Green: Enable Red: Disable	-120 W		3 x 1 tiles	50 kg	Solid Management
	Solid Rocket Port Loader	Allows Solids to be loaded to the storage of a linked rocket. Automatically links when built to the side of a Rocket Platform or another Rocket Port. Uses the solid material filters set on the linked Rocket Platform. Rockets must be landed to load or unload resources.	Green: Enable Red: Disable	-240 W		2 x 2 tiles	400 kg	Solid Control
	Solid Rocket Port Unloader	Allows Solids to be unloaded from the storage of a linked rocket. Automatically links when built to the side of a Rocket Platform or another Rocket Port. Uses build-in solid material filters. Rockets must be landed to load or unload resources.	Green: Enable Red: Disable	-240 W		2 x 3 tiles	400 kg	Solid Control

Sensors

Conveyor Rail Sensors are unlocked by the Solid Management research.

In	Name	Automation Output	Materials
	Conveyor Rail Element Sensor	Green: The configured item is on the rail Red: The configured item is not on the rail	25 kg
	Conveyor Rail Germ Sensor	Green: The number of Germs on the object on the rail is within the selected range Red: Otherwise	25 kg 50 kg
	Conveyor Rail Thermo Sensor	Green: The contained item is within the selected Temperature range Red: Otherwise	25 kg
