Re: [2.0.19] Ghosts of lightning rods show fake protected area

Yeah, I have a blueprint of a bunch of substations, lightning rods, and roboports, I drop that down then start working on other buildout while bots catch up to the power buildout component. It's also a case when I'm changing out lightning rods for the attractors, since they're not direct upgrades, t...

Re: I dont get Quality Items

I have the same problem, I only get the maximum blue quality. When I make items from blue quality, I have not once gotten purple, much less gold. Epic and Legendary are research levels. Epic from Gleba, Legendary from Aquilo. You'll never get those categories until you do the appropriate research.

Re: why wont my space platform get its materials

You need a full rocket load of a specific item. Hover the individual items on your platform request and you should see not enough planetside.

[2.0.19] Ghosts of lightning rods show fake protected area

What happened? When ghost building lightning rods/collectors, the eventual coverage area is added into real coverage, but (correctly) does not actually protect against lightning. This causes problems when trying to view the current actual coverage for remotely safely building in. Suggested fix: Ghos...

Yeah, I'd assume it would be X ticks behind without duplication. You're paying for your gains somewhere.

Re: Circuits/dynamic mall: Get the 10 (largest) signals from a list of signals

That's unfortunately a solution I already mentioned in the OP - I'm searching for a smaller solution, with less combinators, and may be even where the amount of signals to get is variable and not hardcoded to the number of combinators. Arbitrary is extremely hard to match with less combinators. You...

Index 9 just outputs the 10th item in the list. Not items 1-10.

Re: Circuits/dynamic mall: Get the 10 (largest) signals from a list of signals

The new selector combinator can pull this. Mode of Operation: Select Input. It'll give you the highest one item in the feed on Index 0, then the second highest on Index 1, and down the line.

So if you want the top 10, you'll need 10 combinators.

Re: How to manage freighters dropping off cargo

That solution is much less than 2n+1 combinators, but doesn't actually solve his problem. It's what I do for my networks usually. The drip problem still happens because as soon as even one item is taken from the network, the request becomes 1, which causes the platform to send 1 down. Can you show ...

Re: How to manage freighters dropping off cargo

Didn't realize you could add cargo pods to landing pads. That works well. Latter is really annoying through when you have dozens of resources and you have to play with circuits every time you want to change orders.

Re: How to manage freighters dropping off cargo

You could do it with a set of combinators that start with a constant combinator using a logistics group. Constant Combinator has what you want, math 50 and 80% of that, use those numbers in the SR latch, though you'd have to do it per item still. But then if you wanted to adjust the resources you ju...

Re: How to manage freighters dropping off cargo

First Issue: Add Cargo Pods to the landing pad. It'll accept more drops from space that way. With enough of them, you can accept all 20k in one sweep. Second Issue: Use an SR latch as part of your Set Request circuit on Aquilo. You want 500, but you don't put the request in for 500 until you're unde...

Re: Simple Ship Drive

Run it as an interrupt, with Signal = [Planet] and leave condition is fish = 1337? Then just put a constant combinator on the ship, wire it up, and turn it on when necessary.

Re: Capture any Spawner

It goes in a circle by chunk from where you are, so if you're centered in the already revealed area it'll take a bit to get to the unrevealed areas. You should be able to watch it on the map revealing the non-radar revealed chunks until it gets the to unrevealed ones.
