Thank you so much! That will help with exactly what I need to do. The second point about finding the "max non-nil logistic request slot_index" was specifically referring to the logistic request slots, not the trash slots. Thats fine though. My solution incurs a negligible performance hit s...

Hello Im fairly new to factorio mod development (but not programming in general). Im looking to make a small mod that interacts with the logistic trash slot. My problem is I'm not sure how to get access to the items in the trash slots I've figured out how to access the main inventory with `player.ge...

It was because as a train approached the intersection with only one spot available, it'd turn the lone green chain signal to yellow, and then the station would disable for a split second causing the...

Yes if the stacker becomes full, the station turns off. Upon further testing, I discovered that if the tracker becomes full while a train is at the station, nothing happens immediately. Once the train at the station leaves, then the trains in the stacker simply skip by the station which is not what ...

Hello, I have been doing a lot of things with trains and the circuit network recently, and I set up this simple dropoff station. The goal is to have the station close if there is no space in the stacker or the station itself. The way I figure it suffices to turn the station off if the stacker is ful...
