Welcome back guys this is premise today i’m going to be showing you version 2.0 of my minecart freight depot this is based off a first version i did about a month back if you haven’t seen that video i suggest checking it out because i’ll be uh making some comparisons in a minute here Now if you don’t know what a minecart freight depot is it’s basically a place for all the luggage or storage and all that stuff to be stored in a system here the old one is way over yonder so yeah basically we’re going to start off with a quick demonstration i’ll go Into a comparison and then we’ll do a little more in depth on how actually the station works you can see annotations on the screen here leading to each one of those sections if you uh want to specifically go to one of them click on the annotation if not sit back and enjoy How this works is essentially you take a storage minecart fill it with all your cargo if you’re coming back from a mining mission say or down in your minds you can fill this with all your gathered resources and send it up and it will automatically be deposited and the Station will actually give you a fresh mine cart using the system now you simply power the powered minecart it’ll push it in as you can see they’re getting separated power or the storage minecart is being unloaded as the powered minecart picks up a fresh storage minecart as you can see it’s totally empty And then you can continue on your mining and even continue like cycling this so this is fully auto and what it does is as you can see if we come down in here we got this from a lot of previous tests but um we actually have infinite storage here Um we have a little flick lever which gives us access to this panel um basically this works by having you can have as many storage minecarts here and this gives you the infinite storage whenever you want to get something however you can just reach down into this chest grab your goods or whatever It’ll automatically fill it up with stuff from the infinite storage if you want to add more to the infant storage or take back from the infinite storage you can do that as well as adjust the speed of how quickly the minecart gets unloaded you would do that by putting more My card hoppers in and that would increase the speed of how fast it was unloaded and then you could take them away to save on resources but have a slower unloading time here we are at the old station i suggest you watch the video on it um Basically the way this one worked was it would be sent in and then they would be arranged in bays instead on our new one if we can come way over here you can see where we have built our new depot you can see it is much much smaller I believe it is about a fourth or a fifth of the size of the old one slot is a huge difference in terms of size instead of having base we instead have a q as you can see here it drops the minecart into a essentially a um hopper built here and Whenever my card is needed as you can see we can put multiple minecarts in and oh as you can see we can and then so what this essentially does is it makes the station multiplayer capable which means you can have lots and lots of different things coming in at the same time And it’ll work perfectly uh i really enjoy this kind of feature to the station because it allows for connectivity and you can use this in terms of gathering resources from a large pool of people or area and i think that adds a lot of value to the kind of design of the station Now in terms of how it works essentially it’s the same as the old station powered my cart in and powered my car out however this one is a lot faster due to the system we have working underneath here with the minecart hoppers what it basically allows me to do Is suck out a lot of items really really fast and then instead of having a limited finite amount of storage we can have an infinite and adjustable amount of storage in these minecarts all down to a nice simple format in terms of response time on how quickly You get your minecart back they are about the same i couldn’t find a way to update that but yeah so a much superior station more compact faster and uh generally a little bit smoother overall in terms of design it’s it’s more complicated but it is in a smaller container As you can see in front of me we now have a skeletal version of the depot now essentially it is the same as the one over there just without the outer skin and all the fancy stuff as you can see we still have all this here Now in terms of how this works it’s actually rather simple this segment up here is the first segment that the cards come into this separates the powered minecart and the storage minecart which is crucial in terms of unloading in an efficient and stable manner now this does is simply This cart will come and just not right over there and switch the rail powered minecart will come through here now what we have here is simply a redstone line that comes down to this pest dispenser here which releases a fresh carp so you can get a cart even before yours is done unloading This also helps with multiplayer capability because we can have a large buffer in between how many carts are being requested and given and that hopper generally uh helps smooth things out quite a bit so as you can as i said just now my uh powered my car would come along this track Uh it fall down here this is where it would pick up another one we actually have a couple of manual overrides on this station one here and one here this triggers the release system so as you can see we got a minecart this is actually supposed to be a Block i think that got messed up with the uh world out heading as you can see we got ourselves a minecart the powered minecart would come along here and essentially take it up and push it right back out onto the tracks now if we come along here we come to the Unloading bay now we only have one of these in the other station we had four the difference here is that this is basically this bay this single bay can handle as many carts as you want because essentially they’ll land on top of each other but the comparators will still read them So basically you can have a bunch of bunch of mine carts right on there and they’ll be dispensed obviously when they’re done unloading now we have two comparators here sensing two different things one is actually it’s kind of funky how this thing works basically we have a monostable circuit Right here and it will send out a pulse when this thing turns on which happens when the cargo is um is emptied so what happens is the pistons will flick in a certain order because of the delay i have here essentially what happens is that a powered rail will be pushed Onto the detector rail we need the detector rail there so that these competitors can sense the amount of cargo still left in there and if there’s any cargo left in the my car obviously we can’t dispatch it from the unloading bay if it’s not done unloading now once that’s done once it’s unloading It’ll push a powered rail right really quickly there it’ll shoot it out and it’ll put all of our uh minecarts in the hopper now another really cool feature of the station is this down here which is the large collection of minecraft hoppers what does is allow us to have really fast unloading times And essentially we can unload virtually almost instantly it’s not quite instantly but it’s pretty close it helps move things very quickly throughout the station very efficiently down here we have the infinite storage now what these are simply a lot of minecart hoppers or hopper minecarts stacked on top of this one rail This is a storage minecart a bunch of them stacked on top of a rail and obviously we have hoppers connecting them to our primary uh access hatch there can close that up keep it all nice and neat that’s about it for today i hope you guys enjoyed please leave any feedback You have in the comment section below i’m going to give you guys a demonstration here of the skeletal version with that we’ll see you guys next time you Video Information
