Conveyor

The  is a very useful block in Planet Nomads, it allows you to connect machines and storage blocks. Any item the machine needs will be taken from connected storage, similar to how the Item Dispenser works. The conveyor connection works in both ways: any produced item that does not fit into the machine inventory will be moved to a free storage slot through the conveyor network.

Setup
Many "compact" machines do not have a conveyor port but all larger machines allow you to connect them to a conveyor network.

The simplest version of a conveyor connection is a Compact Container directly attached to a 3D Printer.

Most players will want to connect all machines and storage blocks in their base, this can be done using the different conveyor blocks. You can choose between I, L, T and X shaped conveyor blocks to build the network you need. To make long networks easier to build there are also longer versions of the straight conveyor.



Conveyor Connector
The conveyor connector is a useful block because it allows you to connect conveyor networks that do not align or through obstacles. If a conveyor connector is in range of one block of another connector you will see a green light which means the connection works.

This can be used to connect networks through walls and floors, networks at different angles or even vehicles to a base network.

Tips

 * Conveyors can also be attached to walls and ceiling (using the T and X types usually) so when you take away some parts the rest will not fall down.
