Citizens also need basic upkeep like water, sewer and electricity, clothes and food

So I just had an idea for a mod, where instead of making science, you create capital. You can build housing, which will slowly generate citizens, which you must transfer to shops and such, where you'll sell products, they'll pay you money, and you'll use the money as science, to perhaps build a ...

Green is the inserter and counter, that stops inserting once inserted U-235 is ≥ 40
Red is the clock, Orange resets the clock after 60 seconds
Pink are the end gates, top one checks if ...

I made it, very little thanks to the cookbook however, but it's done.

Fixed it by not using the reset value

I did check the editor and see that the reset value persists for two ticks, for one to reset, and the one after that for some reason, even though the condition is no longer met, I guess it has to make the round trip, aka R->T=0->T no longer greater than 60, which takes several ticks

thank you!

Sorry, but none of this is what I'm looking for, I'm not looking for the perfect Kovarex set-up, I want the basics of circuit counters and stuff, the path rather than the solution.

So I have a cool Kovarex blueprint that helps a lot at making a lot of Uranium, but, I have a problem that the inserters keep inserting after the recipe is fulfilled, up to 81 U-235. I need a circuit counting machine that counts how much U-235 has been inserted, ensuring that only 40 pieces of U-235 ...

yeah this is solved since all the centrifuge's buffers are filled and I already have 1.2k excess of 235

This seems an excessive amount of kovarex centrifuges. All you need is 1 centrifuge for kovarex enrichment per 20-30 reactors.

The other image you posted indicates that you built power plants around single reactors. Keep in mind that the energy output of reactors is multiplied, if you build them ...

That looks like a really good setup :) Once it gets going it should work well!


yeah at this point I'm just waiting for there be enough 235 so that all buffers get filled and I ...

How did you split U238 and U235 from the mining post?

Filter inserts and a brading belt

Is there a simple way for inserters to stop inserting when the minimum requirement for production has been met?


I agree with Stringweasel, there is no simple way to avoid buffering U-235 in Kovarex enrichment. Any solution will involve using the circuit network (though there is at least one ...

any alternate ways?

I don't much like using blueprints off forums and stuff, and I'm trying to fully automate Kovarex Enrichment.

I put up seven centrifuges and two belts around them, one for 238 and the other for 235, the issue I'm facing is that the centrifuge at the start of the conveyor hoards all the 235 so ...
