Basic Parts Tutorial #5: Emitters/Absorbers (Updated)

zardOz's Principia Tutorials #5

Need Help? This example shows the basic function of the Emitter, Mini-Emitter, Multi-Emitter, Absorber, Mini-Absorber, and Auto-Absorber. They can all be controlled by wiring them to an RC panel if you need to.

On the bottom left the Mini-Emitters are shown releasing every object they are allowed, those objects that may be made bigger must use the larger Emitter.

The bottom right shows all of the other objects which can only be made by the larger Emitter. It also shows an Absorber set to take only one type of item and a three layer set-up.

Above that on the left I attached an Auto-Absorber to the RC box, press the left(F) button to clean up the mess your little brother made. All objects in the chain that are not fixed to the background like the Trampoline will vanish!

UPDATE: At the top is the very cool Multi-Emitter (watch the lag slowly build up, be careful with these) The idea is that you select and save(export) a whole Assembly like a car with the 'M' icon, then the emitter will dump the whole car out.
