Mass Driver


Automated late-game long-distance item transportation by launching chests using an artillery turret. How to use: 1) Place the mass driver turret. 2) Place a payload chest within one space of the turret. 3) Place an armature into the mass driver turret 4) Provide electricity to the turret, if required 5) Enter the coordinates into the targeting computer. 6) Provide a check mark to the targeting computer using a circuit network.

Is it possible to configure the range of the mass driver? Me and my friend want Mass Driver to have massive (ayy) range so that it can compete with trains and logibots, but it doesn't seem that's possible to configure at the moment.

Also, being able to provide coordinates via the circuit network would be really nice too for automated logistics.

Should be easy to add

This is already possible. It reads the X, Y coordinates from the circuits attached to the combinator. Normally this is provided by the combinator itself, but it works with circuits too.

Excellent. Thanks so much for the support. I look forward to designing hilariously inefficient yet undeniably cool mass driver-based logistics.
