You just need to carry a little bit of everything, not vast amounts. At least not for rarely used items like reactors. Just one or two.
This is an example of the supply train I use. It's able to handle multiple wagons with multiple items and will load and unload exact amounts of items, and it ...

Re: Circuited assembler
My comment was a general one: what you tried to set in the combinator screenshot isn't deterministic, because it isn't clear what signal is used as feedback output to keep the latch latched.
In general, you're trying to solve the most complex and sophistic circuit network challenge the game has to ...

Re: Circuited assembler
The loopback provides the previous output as input, so you're able to remember and keep a state.
You tried to implement a latch using the EACH operator everywhere, however EACH for the state it's a wrong approach because you can never be sure what signal exactly is matching the state you want to ...

You're not alone with that feeling.

Re: Replace inserter with fast inserter
The normal inserter has definitely multiple valid use cases.
it mirrors technical advancement that's going on with research, so it fits the simulation theme.

Re: Inserters feeding into train act before station can report signals.
To avoid the train becoming full and an inserter with a full hand is staying full until the next train, you need to carefully include the train content into your calculation and set the stack size of any item an inserter should move into the train.

Re: [2.0.72] Set recipe and Read ingredients are not isolated
In your original save, what is being read as ingredient by one assembler is interpreted as item to craft by a connected assembler. That's not a bug, it's just the way the circuit network operates. You need to isolate this kind of output signal so it cannot reach any other machine that is set to set ...

Re: Phantom logistics numbers
It is quite unusual to carry ammo to Fulgora just to send it to space platforms intended for Aquilo. Instead, you should design your platforms to craft ammo on the platform on the fly.

Your suggestions help identify (possible) freezing events and thus prevent them, but when one actually happens, these actions just don't have any direct help.

Re: Combinators should not affected by freeze
The combinators freeze and thus fail in a unpredictable order, thus makes the signal system's behavior totally unpredictable. What's more, when such failure is spotted by the player and they try to add more heat supply, they also unfreeze in a random order, still causing great trouble.

Re: Splitter filtering multiple specific items of varying quality - possible?
Due to space constraints on fulgora I want to make as compressed of a setup as possible.
This means you want to build a bot based setup. Bots are able to sort items in (almost) zero time with zero space.
This is for normal quality only, but you get the idea.
