Complex

Positives

  • Point-to-point (P2P): hubless, can go directly from any station to any station
  • Fixed routing: consistent addresses at all stations
  • Extra hexit for additional data and automation
  • Stacked minecart compatible
  • Full speed
  • Selector panel and manual code input UI for all stations
  • Cart integration for all stations
  • Auto cart launching for all stations
  • Prevents cart launch while changing settings to allow safe addressing
  • Underfloor wiring
  • Intersection collision prevention: when two carts enters an intersection, one will pause to let the other through

Instructions

Notes

  • Watch the video and read the user guide (https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1315522702492172300/1434952071341281382/Wave_Bolt_User_Guide.pdf) for further instructions.

Build

  • Straight bolt flying machine instructions:
  • 1. Use the lane splitter to split a 6 wide strip of blocks into two 3 wide strips.
  • 2. Place the rails alternating between powered and normal.
  • 3. Build and run the rail curver.
  • 4. Run the block pusher to form the gaps to place the repeaters and comparators. Ensure this is offset to line up with the intersections,
  • Diagonal bolt flying machine instructions:
  • 1. Place a flat 4 wide diagonal strip of blocks two layers lower than the y-level of the rails.
  • 2. Build and run the rail curver.
  • 3. Fill in the blocks for the dust to be placed on on either side.
  • Panel encoding: Add items to the shulker boxes to get different signal strengths corresponding to the hex code of the station (keep in mind the output will be subtracted from 15).

Usage

  • 1. Flip the lever to determine whether to transmit the code from the lectern or selector panel.
  • 2. Select the code for the station in the input that you selected.
  • 3. The data transmission hexit can be used for integration for modifications to the bolt. This hexit is optional.
  • 4. To send chest minecarts onto the bolt, hit the leftmost note block at the cart integration UI to dispense a new minecart, and hit the adjacent note block to send the chest minecarts to the bolt.
  • 5. Ride the minecart to be transported to your destination. If there are no minecarts, refill the chest and click the button to place a new minecart.
  • 6. After arriving at the station, the chest minecarts will arrive on the right side of the cart integration UI.
