[Mod 0.11.x] Belt Blocker

Post by JamesOFarrell »

This is a simple mod that adds an entity used to block item flow on a belt. This can block a single lane, allowing only one side of the belt to pass items. These can be placed on top of belts but you will have to remove the belt to mine the blocker.

Cool. I can think of a few use-cases for this.

You can actually use the smart-sensors mod for this. There is component you can use that should allow you to turn off belts.

Its actually called "Smart-Curcuit-System". Should be able to turn off belts.

I doubt I'll be adding any features to belt blocker, if only because I have too many complex mod I am supporting already.

Really liking this mod! It's such a simple little thing but it allows making compact production so much easier, allowing you to use the same belt for multiple things without a bunch of overflow, spill or using smart inserters to remove things and return them.
Image
My only complaint is that it's a bit iffy to place and destroy, being a tree I guess is the problem, it doesn't stick to the grid like other things do and I can almost never destroy it without removing the belt underneath. Still, it's a good workaround until there's a better solution.

Well, if you don't want to ask this question I will do it:

Does it reduce pollution?

It's a "real tree", so this is actually possible.

Belt blocker + Moar Inserters = super compact production :D
