The SS Item Collector is a structure from the Super Structures Mod.

Overview

This Structure (while active) periodically checks for the items it is programmed to collect and deposits them in its own inventory, or in the case of Animal Feces, will attempt to place it in either a  Compost Bin or a  Dung Beetle. If the item is  Gacha Crystal it will automatically place it in  SS Crystal Cracker  if set. There are settings that can allow you to choose which items are picked up and which are distributed.

In addition, it can also collect  Metal &  Scrap Metal and distribute them to nearby forges. Forge distribution is determined by a set priority.

The SS Item Collector will ignore nearby 'lower' priority forges if a 'higher' priority forge is nearby when considering what forges to distribute metal to:

•  SS Tek Forge  (Highest Priority)
•  SS Industrial Forge  (Medium Priority)
•  SS Refining Forge  (Lowest Priority)

It will also collect  Metal Ingot &  Scrap Metal Ingot from nearby forges and distribute them to nearby  SS Dedicated Storage  if they exist.

INI Options

Place these INI options at the bottom of your gameusersettings.ini (For servers, it has to be on the server) 
You must include the [SuperStructures] header.
You only need to include this if you wish to override the defaults, and you only need to include entries that are different.

3rd Party Mod Integration

Super Structures has special tags that modders can use to add to their modded forges to give them a 'priority' to consider for metal distribution or be able to pull/push  Fertilizer &  Feces to their custom compost bins

SPlusCollect

• Modders can allow the Item Collector & Farmer to pull/push  Fertilizer &  Feces to their custom compost bins

ItemCollectorPriorityXXX - (3 X's meaning a number).

• Modders can allow the Item collector to pull ingots from their custom forges with two tags, one to indicate the priority level of the forge (this tag), and one to allow collection (further below).

The following forges exist in SS:

•  SS Tek Forge  - ItemCollectorPriority200
•  SS Industrial Forge  - ItemCollectorPriority300
•  SS Refining Forge  - ItemCollectorPriority400

If the modded forge has a higher priority and both forges exist nearby it will prioritize the modded forge over the lower priority forge when distributing metal.

• AllowItemCollectorToDistributeMetal - The second tag for indicating to the Item Collector that it should distribute raw metal to the forge (from dedicated storages)
• AllowItemCollectorToPullIngots - The third tag for indicating to the Item Collector it should pull ingots from your forge and distribute them back to SS Dedicated Storages.

Notes

• This structure was given a unique model differing from the S+ version inspired by the original  Homing Underwater Mine model that this structure originally used.
• As opposed to the S+ version, this structure uses  Gasoline instead of  Propellant.
• This structure can pick up the  Eggs of wild creatures.
