Deconstruction Steps
| Step | Tool | Recovered Item |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Hand Drill | [## Superseded |
| While the original LArRE can still be printed from the [Electronics Printer it has been superseded by a number of specialized variations: |
- LArRE Dock (Atmos)
- LArRE Dock (Bypass)
- LArRE Dock (Cargo)
- LArRE Dock (Collector)
- LArRE Dock (Hydroponics) Each variant is constructed from its own dedicated kit. While some variants provide brand new capability, others overlap with the original, but bring enhanced capability. For instance the original LArRE could interact with hydroponics and import/export chutes, but the hydroponics variant is able to measure the content of a Hydroponics Tray beneath the arm without having to sample a separate Hydroponics Device, allowing for denser planting.
Description
"The (L)inear (Ar)ticulated (R)ail (E)ntity or LArRE can be used to plant, harvest and fertilize plants in plant trays. It can also grab items from a Chute Export Bin and drop them in a Chute Import Bin. LArRE can interact with plant trays or chute bins built under a linear rail station or built under its dock." — Stationpedia
LArRE is a robotic arm that can interact with powered chute bins and hydroponic trays or devices.
Compared to Harvie, LArRE can be configured to care for multiple plants and distribute fertilizer. It can also be used to transport items in general.
Usage
The dock can be connected on both sides to a network of linear rails to enable LArRE to move horizontally and vertically. Linear rail stations must be positioned so that LArRE can stop and interact with the device below. The network can only be linear (i.e. without intersections).
Each station (including the dock) is assigned a number.
Stations can be assigned a negative number unless the rail connections make a loop back to the dock.
If the network is modified (by removing or adding a rail), LARrE will be teleported to its dock. LARrE is also susceptible to collisions with players and structures. If it is blocked while moving towards its target station, LArRE will stop and flash an error until the path is cleared or the target is changed.
Data Network
| Parameter | Type | Access | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| Power | Boolean | Read | Can be read to return if the LArRE Dock is correctly powered or not, set via the power system, return 1 if powered and 0 if not |
| Error | Boolean | Read | 1 if device is in error state, otherwise 0 |
| Activate | Integer | Read/Write | Set this to 1 to make LArRE use its claw (either to place or fetch an item) |
| Setting | Integer | Read/Write | Set this to make LArRE move to a station |
| On | Boolean | Read/Write | The current state of the LArRE Dock. |
| RequiredPower | Integer | Read | Idle operating power quantity, does not necessarily include extra demand power |
| Idle | Integer | Read | Returns 1 if the LArRE Dock is currently idle (stationary), otherwise 0 (moving). Use this to detect if it has completed its movement/action. |
| PrefabHash | Integer | Read | The hash of the structure |
| ReferenceId | Integer | Read | Unique Reference Identifier for this object |
| Index | Integer | Read | The current index for the LArRE Dock on the rails. Can be non-integer. This usually does not correlate with Setting since it counts non-station rail sections. |
| NameHash | Integer | Read | Provides the hash value for the name of the object as a 32 bit integer. |
Data Slots
These are all parameters, that can be read with a Slots Reader. The outputs are listed in the order a Slots Reader's "VAR" setting cycles through them. | Number || Name | Description | |---|---| | 0 | Occupied | | 0 | OccupantHash | | 0 | Quantity | | 0 | Damage | | 0 | Class | | 0 | MaxQuantity | | 0 | PrefabHash | | 0 | SortingCLass | | 0 | ReferenceId |
Notes
- Renamed to LArRE to better align with its non-acronym name in 2024-July-22
