This causes the solar arms to engage that one conveyer belt in the assembly area, moving the nearly-complete satellite to the fan.First, the solar arms are squeezed together and weld to the two grey blocks already in place. The last solar arm is dropped into position, and the sensor in the assembly area fires.The third grey block is transported above the assembly area, where it waits patiently.The third block triggers a sensor, sending the other two (now-welded) grey blocks to the assembly area (via a fan, used to lift them into position).Two are welded together vertically, stamped, while the third goes off on a journey. The blue solar arms are welded into 3x1's and taken to the assembly area.Let me summarize (somewhat chronologically) When it goes, it pushes the satellite out of the fan's path, where it's rotated and slid into position before ending up on the delivery pad. The pusher in the top-center of the image is tied to the same wiring as everything else. The solo grey block falls, and the fan lifts the satelitte up, and they meet in the middle and weld together. It's next to a pusher (not pictured) that's tied to the same wiring as everything else. In the top-left bit there you can see where the solitary grey block enters. One day we will look back on this and laugh. A simple lifter-sensor-pusher on the right lifts them up and over, then drops the centre column onto the conveyor which carries it to the welder, ready to have the solar arms attached. You can see in the screenshot (of the assembly area, above) what happens to the two welded blocks. No immediate welds this time, instead two blocks fall and are welded, while the third triggers that sensor (facing left) and pushes the two newly-welded blocks off on their journey (via the stamper). Blocks spawn, and when three blocks occupy those 3 platforms, the sensor (center frame) triggers, and pushes the blocks away. You'll recognise this idea from the solar array set-up. The solar panels are in position, let's get that central column happening. The position of the sensor may need some attention, as it depends which of the three components arrives last (in my case, it was that right solar arm), so that's where the sensor needs to be. The wiring is a little hard to see, but the sensor is linked to both pushers. The basic idea is to drop the two solar arms in place, then to squeeze them together so they weld onto the central column. Those 3 platforms at the end of the conveyors act as delays, as it takes time to get everything in position. There are two sets of 3 welders (one horizontal and one vertical) to neatly fure the arrays. This is a standard set up, once 6 blocks have been pushed out onto the platform, the sensor (in the center of the screenshot) triggers the row of 6 pushers to send them on their way. You probably already knew that, but it took me a moment to regconize it.įirst step is to make and separate the 1x3 solar arrays. Note :The odd block just below where the column sections spawn is a 'stamper' to create the control panel. Instead, the top section must be left off the column, and welded on after. The problem is that once they are assembled, it is impossible to weld them together. This puzzle presents a very interesting problem it's not too hard to construct the grey central column of the satellite, nor are the blue solar arms hard to make.
