Guide: AM Transmitter and Receiver (Spoilers)

AM TRANSMITTER & RECEIVER CRAFTING GUIDE

An update was just released which brings the earlier radio technology up a notch with the ability to transmit chat messages anywhere on the server. Instead of building on top of the old transmitter/receiver, you need to create a separate AM Transmitter and Receiver. This makes my earlier guide mostly obsolete since these new devices are much more useful.

Prerequisites

Here are some of the objects you'll need to get started.

Newcomen Roller
Newcomen Hammer
Newcomen Drill
• 17 Blank Papers
• 2 Boards
• A lot of Bowls
• Plenty of Charcoal and Water for boilers
• 1 Wrought Iron
• 2 Steel Ingots

Draw Plate & Blowpipe

To make copper wire you'll need a Draw Plate. The draw plate is reusable, so you only need to make one.

1. Heat up a steel ingot
2. Pound it until you get a Steel Blade Blank
3. Use the cooled Blade Blank on a Newcomen Drill to get the Draw Plate

Another reusable tool is the Blowpipe which is used to form glass.

1. Smelt one Hot Steel Ingot
2. Use on a Newcomen Roller to make a Steel Rod
3. Use on a Newcomen Bore to make a Steel Pipe
4. Use on a Newcomen Roller to make the Blowpipe

Copper Foil, Rod, Pot, and Wire

This requires a lot of copper. At least 20 for the transmitter and 14 for the receiver.

1. Gather 34 Malechite in the Badlands
2. Place in bowl with charcoal and smelt in a Forge to make 34 Copper Ingots
3. Use a Newcomen Hammer to make 10 Copper Foils
4. Use a Newcomen Roller to make 20 Copper Rods
5. Use a Smithing Hammer to make 4 Copper Pots
6. Use the Copper Rods on a Draw Plate to make 20 Copper Wires

Daniel Cell

This is a rudamentary battery for power. You'll need two cells for the transmitter and two cells for the receiver. Thankfully they last forever. First we'll make a few zinc rods:

1. Gather 4 Calamine in the Badlands
2. Smelt in a bowl with charcoal at a Forge to make 4 Zinc Ingots
3. Fire up a Newcomen Roller and Hot Coals nearby
4. Use Tongs to warm the Zinc on the Hot Coals
5. Use on Newcomen Roller to make 4 Zinc Rods

Next we need to make 8 bowls of Sulfuric Acid

1. Gather 8 Niter in the desert
2. Place each in a bowl of water
3. Add ashes leftover from a fire
4. Add paper and place in another bowl to filter out the solution
5. Wait 30 seconds to get your Bowl of Saltpeter
6. Use a bowl on a Hot Spring in the desert to get Sulfer
7. Mix the Sulfer with the Salt Peter
8. Add to Hot Coals and use another bowl on it within 30 seconds
9. By the end you should have 8 Bowls of Sulfuric Acid

Now we can complete the 4 Danie Cells.

1. Add 4 Copper Foils to 4 Bowls of Sulfuric Acid
2. Add to the Copper Pots
3. Place the Zinc Rods into the remaining Bowls of Sulfuric Acid
4. Add to the Pots of Copper Sulfate to make 3 Daniel Cells
5. Combine pairs to make 2 Two Daniell Cells

Diodes and Triodes

First prepare the leads for the diodes and triodes.

1. Put thread in a bowl, cover, repeat 4x
2. Smelt in a forge to make 4 Carbon Filaments
3. Add 2 Copper Wires to each of them to make 4 Diode Leads
4. Add another copper wire to 3 of those to make 3 Triode Leads

Time to prepare the glass ingredients

1. Find 4 Glasswort in the desert
2. Chop it down with a Sharp Rock and let it dry for 30 seconds
3. Light it with a Firebrand for 10 seconds to turn to ash
4. Place in a bowl and add a bowl of water
5. Add paper and place in another bowl to filter
6. Wait 30 seconds to get 4 Bowls of Soda Ash

Now add quicklime and sand:

1. Find 4 Limestone in the Badlands
2. Place in a bowl and heat in a Forge to make Quicklime
3. Mix with the Soda Ash
4. Add a Bowl of Sand from the desert to make 4 Soda Lime Glass Batches

This is the glass mixture to finish the diodes and triodes:

1. Place the mixture in the Forge using tongs
2. Quickly remove the hot glass from bowl using the Blowpipe
3. Place it on the Diode Leads to make a Vacuum Diode
4. Repeat this for the 3 Triode Leads to make 3 Vacuum Triodes
5. Combine two of the Triodes together to make Two Vacuum Triodes


obj_2535.png

Capacitors

You need 2 Capacitors:

1. Add Copper Foil to Paper twice
2. Combine to make a Capacitor
3. Repeat to make another capacitor


obj_2642.png

Microphone

1. Add 1 Charcoal to Copper Foil
2. Add another Copper Foil
3. Add Copper Wire to make a Carbon Microphone


obj_2645.png

Loudspeaker

1. Heat up a Wrought Iron in a Forge
2. Use on a Newcomen Roller to make an Iron Rod
3. Add a Copper Wire to make the Electromagnet
4. Add paper to make the Loudspeaker


obj_2660.png

Transmitter

Now let's assemble the High Frequency AM Transmitter. Be careful where you start building this since it cannot be moved.

1. Add the Carbon Microphone to Boards
2. Add the Two Vacuum Triodes
3. Combine a Copper Wire with a Short Shaft to make a Copper Coil and add to the board
4. Combine 4 Copper Wires together to make a Long Antenna and add to the board
5. Add a Capacitor
6. Add the Two Daniell Cells

You can add more capacitors to make a lower frequency. This basically gives you 3 different channels.


obj_2669.png

Receiver

Finally let's assemble the High Frequency AM Receiver. Be careful where you start building this since it cannot be moved.

1. Add the Loudspeaker to Boards
2. Add a Vacuum Triode
3. Add a Vacuum Diode
5. Add a Capacitor
6. Add the Two Daniell Cells
7. Combine 2 Copper Wires together to make a Short Antenna and add to the board

You can add more wire to the antenna to make a lower frequency.


That's it! You should now have a transmitter and receiver to emit your voice anywhere on the server.

Thanks! this really helps out because it's a pain using the tech tree to figure all of this out

Seems like it might be busted.  We built two the same distance as the morse radios and didn't get anything when talking to it 1 or 0 squares away sad

Was it a custom server? If so was it using the latest server v193? And did they both say "High Frequency"?

We should report this on GitHub.

Re: Guide: AM Transmitter and Receiver (Spoilers)

Someone else made it on the main servers and it was busted as well.  He did mention it on the  github

Re: Guide: AM Transmitter and Receiver (Spoilers)

Yeah, I swear I tested these before shipping.

Not sure what's happening here, and I'm really sorry about it.

Should be spending time with family right now, but I feel like I should fix this before the weekend passes.
