Finding the Stargate

• If you're playing Creative mode, you can simply use the /locate structure #sgjourney:has_stargate command to find the nearest structure which has a Stargate (#sgjourney:stargate_pedestal if you want to finda Stargate Pedestal and #sgjourney:buried_stargate if you want to find a Buried Stargate).

• If you're playing Survival mode.

Dialing

To connect your Stargate to another one, you first need to dial your Stargate. There are currently two ways to dial. Directly or indirectly. First one is through the use of a DHD or a Computer (only with some Stargates). To dial with a DHD, simply click on the buttons representing the Symbols of an Address in a specific order, then once you've encoded the whole Address appropriate for the desired connection type, press the big round button in the center to automatically input the Point of Origin, which confirms the Address and starts the connection.

Manual Dialing

The other way to dial is manually. During manual dialing, the ring of the Stargate will rotate. The topmost Symbol is the one which will be encoded. Once you've encoded the whole Address, you must lock the Point of Origin to confirm the Address and start the connection. Only some Stargates can be dialed manually (currently only Milky Way Stargate). You can dial manually with either:

• Redstone
• Basic Interface + Computer (Must have CC:Tweaked)

Dialing (and Manual Dialing) with Computers:

Based on the type of Stargate, Computers can directly or indirectly dial the Stargate. Direct dialing involves only the engageSymbol() method and works similar to how a DHD would input Symbols.
Only Manual Dialing counts as indirect dialing and is described further below.
Connect a Basic Interface to the Stargate by placing it to face any of the blocks that form the Stargate. Connect the Interface to a computer as a peripheral. List of commands you can use can be found here.

Manual Dialing with Redstone:

Depends on the strongest Redstone Signal the Stargate is receiving:

• Strength 15: Stargate will raise its Chevron and prepare to encode the current Symbol
• Strength 14 - 8: Stargate will rotate anti-clockwise
• Strength 7 - 1: Stargate will rotate clockwise
• Strength 0: Stargate will attempt to lower its chevron and encode the current Symbol
