Logic circuit to water farm field once per set interval.
Short explanation
In the beginning of farming, before you can afford to get sprinklers, the only reasonable way of watering the plants, is to put regular pipes (90’s and tees) up over your plant plots.
The problem is that the constantly dripping water is noisy, and if your farm is large, there could be noticeable FPS drop while the water is running.
The farm plots don’t really have to be watered every second, once a minute, or even less than that is plenty.
So here is a circuit that will let you set the interval with a keypad, and then drops one drop of water at that interval.
Shopping List
Here is list of materials required to build the circuit, they can all be bought in logic shop in Bridgepour.
- 6x Straight Cable
- 5x T Cable
- 3x Elbow Cable
- 2x Greater Than
- 2x Valve Hook
- 1x Flip Hook
- 1x Add
- 1x Keypad
- 1x Repeater
Optionally, you could add couple of logic displays so you can see if everything works as it should.
The circuit
Legend:
- >= – Logic Greater Than
- FLIP – Logic Flip Hook
- INTERVAL – Logic Keypad
- VALVE – Logic Valve Hook
Set your desired interval in seconds on the keypad marked INTERVAL, do not forget to hit the green key on the keypad after you punch in the number, otherwise it will not send that number out.
Valve in top right corner of the image is clamped on water supply pipe.
The two unmarked hooks facing downward are two logic displays, they are entirely optional.
Strange looking unmarked gizmo in bottom right corner of the image is a logic repeater
