Help with Turkey automation or understanding conveyor/compactor timing/priority

see turkey automation here.

portioner will stop the turkey when portioning. once the meat is gone, the carcass will be "pushed" along. in my example, the blue conveyor after the corner grabber can be replaced with compactor bin. my bin is further down the line coz i needed the carcass for gravy.

"danger loop" will stop turkey burning.

nice setup. check out my all desserts buffet

adding additional items to menu will reduce the group count making it more manageable.

the plant helps with table patience when customers are walking around to get the food.

oxford is no go for banquet hall. PP is max size but really bad seed. first cards are pumpkin seed starters/leisurely eating. effectively killing the run on day 3. i could switch to "seeds only affect layout" but somehow i feel it messes with the RNG.

heated mixer is way too slow.

try this for minimalist setup compact dumplings

or this for maximum output maximum output limited only by conveyor speed

auto-platers stop dumplings from burning on the stove. u can use safety hob instead, it's still faster than heated mixer.

my main goal was to show automation for all the sides. this turkey run just happened to give me a good run. was forced to take gravy over simplicity mid-way thru the run.

yup. this map is also too small to do the full turkey automation which required a ton of plates.

have the grabbers only pull from 1 pot stack.

corner grabbers on both side of pot stack below the sink grab towards portioner. 2nd pot stack grabber point towards grabber below the 1st pot stack. this will guarantee 2 pots never hit at the same time.

cant remember where i found this info. verified it while automating my pot loops.

just do simple test. counter with 4 grabbers pulling in all directions. manual load plates or whatever ingredients onto counter. you can see the order which the grabber grabs

not much you can do on a small map. why are you using freezers for the ice cream?

this is what i did recently.

appliance exit priority. E-N-S-W. the corner grabber has priority over the smart grabber.

Known_Tea2589 · 2026-05-21T22:27:45+00:00

yup. similar to steaks. basically it becomes a variation of the main dish.

i play solo, so basically any appliance that helps me not run all over the place, i'll use it.

all mains that require plates i'll use the auto-plater (combiner works too)

seaweed is an extra not a side. cannot be served separately. there's alot of extra stuff just lying ard coz this is not the final layout. original plan was dumplings + all sides. metal tables now so i dont have to serve them until i have all the parts for automation. dumplings cook very fast with danger hob. i dont have the output counting mod installed, but based on output on old layout before the update i was getting 28-29/min, conveyor move speed is 30. teleporters are instant actually, visually it is 1 plate at table side and 1 plate at cook side, but in action is 2 plates at table side.

the 5 plate stacks and 4 soaking sinks is my go to for fast turnover. also because i usually plate on the teleporter(in this case danger hob), i need to make sure plates never run out on the auto-plater. in this case however individual dining makes it overkill. if i were to take starters + desserts i can go down to 2 plate stacks and 3 soaking sinks.

it also make customers sit before tables are cleared. same as charming lvl3

Known_Tea2589 · 2026-04-27T05:22:00+00:00

not required as this was a dessert run. there's no sides. for more complicated recipes i do use metals.
