Re: Average troughput for the last second using memory

Hello, first of all I want to thank @Qon and @mmmPi for the warm welcome. You really make me feel included. By the way, how can I type the BBcode for the collapsable panel with a Plus? I searched, but never found an option. Np, pleasure is mine :) Thanks for using [ bp] tags for blueprints now ;) Q...

Re: Friday Facts #402 - Lightspeed circuits

I am still not convinced that adding ID to channel on radars would not cause a situation where players have a strong incentive to build arrays of radars. Which is worse in my eyes than both current situation with minimalist approach or antenna approach with dedicated entity for multi channel. I hav...

Re: Friday Facts #402 - Lightspeed circuits

For me, having more channels means I can develop a protocol for global communication through channel 1, build it and then experiment with designs for v2 on channel 2 and then deploy that to new outposts without having to remove everything running on v1 channel 1 first. And I can have 2 or more proto...

Re: Friday Facts #402 - Lightspeed circuits

And with channels in radars that whole big circuit contraption would look like this: radar.png Now wouldn't that be simpler? Wrong. Like I said in the post you quoted, my router is dynamic. For the particular use case it's designed to handle, more static channel connections don't really help that m...

Re: Little help

Well, that is your problem, not mine. Lua code can of course execute even if you don't do anything, so that isn't very relevant.

If you don't share any more information about the error message and mod code that you are running then you will have to solve it by yourself. Good luck!

Seems like I would rather just learn the map string format and write code that decodes the string, then modify it and then re-encode it if there's that many sliders 8-) :lol:

LuaEntity API call when LuaEntity was invalid. . Check if entity is valid before doing other things with it, every event. This error happens if you have a LuaEntity that has become invalid (like an entity deleted from the surface) while you keep hold a reference to it and try to do something with i...

Re: Find maximum value iterative

Awesome idea! I couldn't think of it, and you implemented it in such satisfactory way. I see concepts for the first time and I've been playing for years. That version also has a continuation for sorting all signals (giving each signal an index based on relative size), if that's interesting. Wow. Pl...

Re: How to pick a single signal from a wire and make it sticky?

and then you go and safe 2 more combinators. :) Now I have to rearange everything vertical and make it 9x4. Or maybe I should combine the free space from 2 blocks and place a beacon there.

Re: Friday Facts #402 - Lightspeed circuits

Giving time slots on a clock is just very inflexible.

Re: Friday Facts #402 - Lightspeed circuits

To multiplex channels onto the radar you need a clock. Wrong. And beware the fool that uses a local clock to demultiplex the data. One power outage and the clocks will get out of sync. In fact, you should avoid clocks if you know how because these are just some of the issues you might come across. ...

Re: How to pick a single signal from a wire and make it sticky?

The top right combinator can be removed and you can take output from the green wire from the bottom right combinator instead, if you don't mind -2.1G output temporarily. I haven't seen the -2.1G output thought, even temporarily, It's only if you remove the output combinator and use the green wire f...

Re: How to pick a single signal from a wire and make it sticky?

The previous one worked better, this one you need to disable the green signal after the initial pasting otherwise it initialize in a flickering state between green circuit and nothing.

Re: How to pick a single signal from a wire and make it sticky?

Note: The multiplicator doesn't need the topmost arithmetic combinator as the signals aren't in sync anyway and the memory cell can be set to store values of 1 or can be made 1 when you filter out the "1" signal. Saves 2 combinators right there. Feel free to modify it if you need it to be...
