... Once captured the "what ever" is stuck in the inserter hand because the captured spawner doesn't accept it. In this case, the spoilage will never be inserted even with the machine empty because it did not "spoil in the inserter hand" so it's not treated as "goes to trash slots" on the machine.

Shift-leftclick on a stack will move it to the trash, which will be dropped if the platform is in orbit. Ctrl-leftclick on a stack moves all stacks of the same material to the trash, and ctrl-leftclick on an empty stack moves all stacks of the whole inventory to the trash (up to 10 stacks, which is ...

I want to drop them down.

... good reviews but not as good as Factorio did before 2.0.

Few things I wanna say, as I hope devs might be reading this thread. First, Reddit is trash. You never know how many bots are there trying to manipulate the direction of your game for whatever reason (remember your game can soak hundreds ...

... like to middle click individual items to grey them out. This click should only disable the request without changing any minimums/maximums. Let "Trash Unrequested" remove them if requested.

Why?
I like the idea of setting and forgetting the groups I use for personal logistics, but there are ...

... controlled inserters to only add more if the item count is under a limit.

If you like purely belt-based solutions or want an easy mixed quality/trash belt, you can put a faster belt somewhere in the loop:

As long as items are only loaded onto onto belt ...

... of normal quality fruit goes to brother recycler filled with quality modules who does his work at a fast rate and gives back 1/16 at uc quality.

On the next step. I'm going to make 1/4 * (3/2) uncommon * input rate and add that to my pool of 3/5 * (~1/2) seeds as I feed banal trash into a ...

It's not stuck. Once the output is emptied of the recipe product, then the spoilage will be moved to the trash slot. It's like this so that idle machines don't constantly load more ingredients that spoil inside them.

... Artificial yumako soil.
It requires food as input, but when this nutrient spoil, the assembly machine is stuck and it requires a manual intervention (Inserter cannot remove it).
A possible solution would be to automatically put the spoil in the trash slot?

... not spill the items on the floor because that would be a huge mess.

When you clear the recipe it is gone and the items are moved to the machine trash. When you set a new recipe regardless of what the old one was, it is new from the point of view of the machine - which *had no recipe because you ...

The biochamber will never *move* fuel from the fuel slot into the trash slot. What likely happened is: the biochamber ran out of fuel and both the fuel inserter and quality fuel inserter grabbed items at the same time - with the quality one inserting first, and the non-quality one seeing "it's full ...

As shown in the picture, a biochamber using common nutrients as fuel will trash the common nutrients to use higher quality nutrients as fuel, which sucks.

Thanks for the report however this is working correctly. Construction requests are set to zero until the platform leaves for the next planet. It works this way so the platform doesn’t mistakenly send the materials back to the planet through auto trash or by the planet also requesting those items.

I have filled up many boxes, e.g. the network with scrap when playing around in creative mod, editor and editor extensions
- how to empty the boxes all all together?

you can delete them in the editor with the decon planner, they would just disappear and their content.

TL;DR
make roboport have trash slot to pump out logistic bots.
What?
Logistic botstuck in frontline roboport.
Why?
I put buffer chest into frontline to better supply construction, but logistic bot will stuck in these roboport and never leave because there are no logistic request nearby ...

... anywhere internally with discussions, I'm deciding that I will simply change how spoilage works for this case and make the inserter put it into the trash slot if the normal output is full.


is this just for nests or all machines? i started seeing this happen with my biochambers. had to clean a ...

The attached log file is from the game session during which I recorded those videos. It contains a lot of trash since I also played a scenario that logs a lot of stuff, the section where we did the testing is from 9538.353s to 14664s.

This seems to be the same as:
viewtopic.php?t=124219

It looks like in that string it was decided we would put the spoilage in trash. It looks like the spoilage is not going into either the trash or in available space. Save is attached.

... the spoilage from the first lab unless the second lab explicitly requests it. Allowing labs to request that an inserter pick up spoilage to feed it is a separate behavior from allowing inserters to place anything in the trash slot if what they are holding is no longer needed (which they already do).
