Shaft configuration

Shaft configuration

Once you have cleared your shaft to your desired depth, you will need to fit RackRails to the edges of it. Thankfully, using modern construction techniques, these don't need any support.

Simply attach a Storage Hopper to the Cargo Lift controller and it will place them automatically.

There is NO limit to the distance that this can be placed, but please note that there is a trade-off between distance and speed.

400-600 metres is ideal, but they can be used at any distance at all.

A minimum distance of around 15 metres is recommended.

For shorter distances, try MatterMovers or Transport Conveyors.

Deployment

Deployment

Once your Cargo Lift Controller is reading a suitable distance on the rail deployment, then you are ready to fit a Cargo Lift to it.
Simply open the Cargo Lift Controller UI (default key is 'E') and drag the appropriate Cargo Lift into the slot.
You can remove and upgrade Cargo Lifts, but the Cargo Lift MUST be empty before you can do so.

Central Power Hub

Central Power Hub

The Central Power Hub (CPH) is the most important machine in your base. It is too advanced to replicate and you cannot survive on this world without it so you must protect it at all costs.

Energy Production

Energy Production

The CPH contains a large internal battery which can store energy collected by its solar panels and from the small fossil fuel generator inside. There is only enough space for a single unit of fuel at a time so you should look to automate fuel delivery using a storage hopper or mini hopper as soon as possible.

The CPH will automatically push energy out to surrounding machines which need it. You can also insert or extract energy from it directly by interacting with it (default 'E'). This control panel also allows you to insert fuel into the generator.
