i have a furnace system with igniters and a memory cell. when the furnaces are being fed it sends power to the memory cell and constantly powers the igniters, which burns through the durability. i want it to power the igniters once then only power on again once its had a cycle of no power then power again.

Title says it all, I was wondering if there is a way for a heartbeat sensor to open up doors when a player is detected, and also when the heartbeat sensor is destroyed, the doors open instead of staying closed (due to no players detected because the sensor is broken)

BCN core - organized in a way that will be user friendly and more space efficient.

I’m wondering if I can do anything better here:

I have 2 x smart switches - one in my core and one close to my base exit. These switches plug into an xor switch in my core. The xor switch then goes to all my door controllers.

The system works great, I hit any switch and the doors open or close.

The problem I thought about and tested was if the switch near the exit is green but the doors are closed then destroying it with a melee tool will open all the doors (I guess the xor treats this as a power shift)

Is there a way to default the switch always back to red after using it or a better way to achieve what I am doing?

Hi, I’m a complete noob with electricity and I get confused easily with all these messy circuits and stuff.

The setup I might go with is the BCN Core with battery backup unless there is something better?

I will be using:

• 4 wind turbines
• 2 large batteries
• 2 large backup batteries

I have tried looking up for a BCN Core tutorial though I cannot find anything. Can anyone help me on how to setup the BCN Core with the equipment listed above?

I have an idea to build this kind of farm base but I have an issue with how or where to place the sprinklers that they can fill up the planters equally.

anyone got the best setup for turret?

I want a setup that is power rich and won’t run into not enough power issues. I would be powering 12 turrets, 8 furnaces, seismic sensors, smart alarms and much more. I also need something that when the windmill or battery gets blown up I will still have backup power.

Would this setup be any good for my goals? https://youtu.be/rSRt92-xFrU?si=fcO-bSLPvsJzVGyj

From the video would this mean I would need 4 windmills and 4 large batteries? The problem is my base only has wallframe stands for 3 windmills. What should I do? Could this setup be done with 3 windmills and still get the same results?

Simple example of an oscillator driving a divide by 4 frequency divider.

Sorry, I can't see how to direct link to the circuit in Rustrician.

Here is a little circuit designed to keep prisoners for extended periods of time. This is great for annoying door campers, or evening the odds with a rival clan.

The circuit works by keeping the handcuffed prisoner in an intermittent state of injury. This prevents them from escaping and F1-killing. Just remember to place them in a chair with a rug nearby to regenerate their health with the 100% comfort mechanic.

I installed a storage adaptor on 2 boxes -> industrial combiner -> conveyor -> tc storage adaptor. I have set filter to take stone and metal.

Everytime I check it always takes stone and metal from 1 box I have never seen the other box been taken. Is there something wrong?

I recently raided and took over a cave base where the HBHF sensors would start generators to power the turrets. The sensors were powered by a large battery. This seems very inefficient to me, as once the generators are on, they stay on until they're out of fuel, and it seems a waste of a large battery.

So I wanted to make a circuit that would activate the turrets and the generator at the same time, but rather than the generators powering the turrets, I wanted them to charge the battery, and the battery powers the turrets instead. Then when the sensor produces a FALSE, the generators switch off again and the turrets power down.

I succeeded, but I feel I've massively over complicated it, can anyone refactor it for me?

I like to wire up circuits that surprise the raider. I have a few favorites. One is keeping my turrets off and behind doors. I use an hbhf or seismic sensor to trigger a timer that turns on the turrets and opens the doors. Another is to leave a door open intentionally, when the raider comes through an hbhf triggers the door to close and tesla coils to zap them for a time.

What do you do with electrical to throw the raider off and frustrate the hell out of them?

I currently have a few turrets and a seismic sensor connected to a smart alarm to give me a notification on Rust+ app.

I also want to add something that detects movement outside my base perimeter would a HBF sensor be a good choice? Do I need to connect the HBF sensor to another smart alarm?

Also what are some other things I could do to better protect my base? Share your tips and tricks thank you

Currently have; Windmill -> Batt -> Electrical Branch -> Switch(Sending 60 power to switch) -> 5 E Branches for 5 turrets. For some reason only the first 2 of 5 E Branches have power. Anyone know why the remaining 40 power isn’t flowing through to the rest? Thank you.

I have alot of garage doors and normal doors in my base and wondering if there is a way when I leave my base to have all the doors automatically close? Would make things so much easier….

I made the minutes circuit and did not find out the better way to do this. The left circuit (minutes clock) is connected in different way and the right circuit (seconds clock) is connected differently a bit. All that is left is one more clock so i can make hours clock, other then that I only need to figure out the times on clocks.
Two switches on left are only for restarting the clocks.

Would like to hear what are your thoughts on this.

My most new building. i spent some hours doing this, but finnaly is done.

Sorry for not posting this circuit from Rustician but it was already quite the challenge to build it in game.
This circuit makes count down timer with display which was the main goal for it.
The goal for my case was to make count down display for harvesting plants. For now it shows how many seconds are left, but it can easily be changed to minutes. It's set for real life time not in-game time so I set the CLOCK's to 0.825s and increases of it.
The upper row of CLOCK's decreases displayed numbers by 'tens' and lower row by 'ones'. After each ten seconds 'tens' decrease by one unit and 'ones' start over from 9 power units. OR SWITCH'es connect all CLOCK's in each row and are hooked up to either left or right COUNTER for displaying correct number.

I want to ask Electricians here for any tips and tricks that can be used to upgrade this circuit, decrease the number of electronics, use different items or anything else that could make it even better.

Final note this circuit will have the SWITCH swapped with SMART SWITCH and be hooked up to SMART ALARM so that Rust+ App can be of use, as the display will be located in different building with planters and alarm will notify me in app when roaming the map that plants are Ripe and ready for harvest. Any help appreciated.

I forgot to mention, the most important thing, the count down clock needs to count from 2h not 60 minutes.

On the server I’m on I’m only allowed a max of 3 windmills which I have but if I wanted more power via solar panels to charge a battery what is the best way to do so and how many can I have connected to a battery?

Any reasons why this wouldn't work? Provides power from windmill unless it drops below value then if it does blocker gets turned off and battery gets activated.

It is a circuit that takes a power input and converts it to pulses (e.x 17 power turns to 17 pulses). Currently it uses a 5-bit number system, but that can be expanded to a 6-bit or higher bit number system depending on added segments. Currently it takes a minimum of 65 power and takes a bit of time to send out the pulses. I am sure that there is some parts that can be optimised in the circuit. I don't have an idea for a use yet.

Edit: I got the power needed down to 29 no matter how many segments added. I also fixed the time issue. Still takes some time, but it is now faster

https://www.rustrician.io/?circuit=c77bb9d7eb4b2fbeec50edb5b41d7dab
A circuit which redirect power between an undefined number of door controller segments. It activates with a pulse (button used in the example, but can also use a seismic sensor). Then it goes through each segments, where the counter is used to define the delay between each segment activating. It uses 6 power to go through each segment, where extra power can be used to control how many door controllers there are in each segment. Designed to be able to do a full base lockdown with minimum power. Each segment can be stacked below each other so it fit any amount of doors

Hello everyone.

We installed an elevator, and we'd love to have a system in place, that allows only us team members to use it.

Can someone point us in the right direction?

So far we use heartbeat sensors, that activate the buttons to call the elevator, but ideally we would like the whole elevator power to be triggered only by us. No one apart from us should be able to use it (even if they manage to get inside the elevator).

Thanks in advance for any tip or solution.
