Wico Cargo Percentage Control and Report [OBSOLETE]

Cargo Percentage Controls

Part of the heart of the system is the cargo control system that pauses mining when the cargo is getting full to allow the stone ejection and refining to make space for more ores (and stone from mining).

The system is controlled through a programmable block that triggers timers based on cargo percentage.

The timer blocks are automatically triggered at the specified percentage in the name. The percentages are every automated ten, so 0, 10, 20, etc. through 100. Blocks are triggered for being above or below a specified percentage. So, “Cargo Above 80” will be triggered when the cargo percentage goes above (or at) 80%. “Cargo Below 80” will be triggered when the cargo percentage goes below 80%.

The timers will triggered each time the programmable blocks run. I recommend turning off the timer block after being called so that the action is only performed once. The block should be turned back on in the trigger for the percentage falling below the block trigger amount. (see the miner ship for examples).


The mining system is currently set up to pause at 80% and resume when it falls below 70%. I tested this and it seems pretty good. At 1x cargo space, I’d recommend adding a cargo module or two to give enhanced space. I also tested that (in survival, of course).
