If you hover over an electricity consuming entity, you see the fill state of the energy buffer in the popup at the right side of the screen titled "electricity". Usually it's full and green and nobody notices, but in case it isn't full, it has a smaller yellow or red bar.

In your case it will never ...

As far as I read about Smart App Control, it heavily relies on the executables being digitally signed by the developer. If Factorio is blocked, it might be the signature isn't valid.

Factorio.exe IS signed by its developers.
And since it's the first time I ever read this about Factorio after all ...

It has some merit by just not sorting what comes out of the recyclers, however I was never able to successfully use sushi belts. I tried multiple times, but sooner or later they all did congest or get out of balance and were not able to recover. Just wanted to show an alternative, in the unfortunate ...

Given the OP has Fulgora with trash recycling as use case, and the given filter sorts just 2 of all the material with a somehow large footprint, I propose a different approach. Very simple and very direct. Sorts 100% congestion free every material on almost zero footprint, easily extendable with ...

Would a train still route to a station that is too far away for 3 nuclear fuels to fuel a train to reach the destination?

I doubt you will build a large enough rail network where a train isn't able to get from the center to the outpost and back without refuel in between. Except perhaps you spend ...

I apologize, but I question your whole train schedule/station naming approach in that thread. It may be good to investigate the behavior of interrupts and wildcards in a controlled lab environment, but it isn't feasible for a real map.

you don't need to carry train fuel around. No outpost needs a ...

I don't fully understand what you're trying to do. I guess you're trying to use wildcards for what they were not intended. My recommendation again: don't use wildcards for trains with a mix of different cargo items.

It's true I'm obsessed with efficiency, but I'm not THAT obsessed to not upcycle such a thing. The only items I will not upcycle are items without quality bonus except hit points. Of course I need quality inserters.

Have you tried to mine quality scrap ?

I tried, but as far as I see this becomes feasible with quality mining drills and quality recyclers, and quality quality modules of course. Before that, needs a rally huge amount of machines with low quality modules and low yield.

Upcycling is a loop, and ...

From what I gained from the thread, a valid approach is to first create normal ingredients with largest productivity bonus+modules possible (and speed increased by speed beacons), then start upcycling the product you want in machines with inherent productivity bonus.

The start is quality quality ...

About the log: for me, my log continues with information about directx:

If you load a fuel item into a cargo wagon, it's cargo. Not fuel. The fuel wildcard only deals with what is in the 3 slots of the locomotive fuel inventory.
What you're trying to do isn't feasible. Multiple items per train cannot really be implemented by addressing stations with one of the cargo ...

I did a rough calculation of item heating power consumption according to the wiki Aquilo page and built one heating tower per approx. 30 MW heating requirement to be on the safe side. I completely ignored distance calculations.
My rule of thumb: for one heating tower providing heat, I can build ...

Within a given station name, multiple cargo wildcards will be always replaced by the same rich text icon. If you have a name template with 2 wildcards and 2 different ore in the train (iron ore and coal), both wildcards will be replaced by the coal icon. Not one with the coal icon and the other with ...

Does the wildcard need to be the first character in the train stop name, or can it be anywhere in the name? Can the wildcard substitute multiple Rich Text icons? Does the wildcard in the train stop name get replaced with what the interrupt condition detects first, or does the other wildcard(s) in ...

Exactly the same amount? Not even 1 item off? That's a very hard constraint. I recommend you revisit your greater approach in general to not have this constraint. What are you trying to do? I don't have an idea where such a constraint would be required or useful.

What you can do is exactly control ...

An even unload is ensured for my examples in the second post. No matter how uneven the unloading is performed. Just one lane, complete block, slow, fast. All the chests will be empty within the same second. No circuit control required. That's because of the balancers at the output.

I mainly need to fairly clear the coffers for another project. I'm requesting this in the form of a stamp because it's easier to present it that way.

I'm sorry, but I don't understand these sentences. What do you mean with "...for another project" and "form of a stamp"? Why will the proposed ...

The signal needs 1 tick to get through the combinators calculating A and B. The very first tick the train is connected to the station, the signals from the train are at the input of the combinators but the combinators didn't yet process them, so they still output nothing (which means A=0 and B=0 ...

If you need lane balancing at the output and even chest unloading, you can append lane balancers:
The input is already balanced, because the input inserters are always able to consume more than can be delivered.
