Unfortunately no. 1500 is 7 pipes max - not good. I'm the opposite - I compress to 12000 and it's goes through the station. Flexibility does not suffer.

Most likely it's not the reactor itself, I just want to show the approach how to reduce the number of pipes supplying water to the reactor if there are no lakes nearby. It's also possible to use only 5 pipes (pumps) but you can't get through them. Pros: 100% of theoretical efficiency. 17 Water pipes...

Pros: No combinators. No chests. Two line, compact and productive. Maximum extendable. Simplest. Chained automatic initialization. No bugs or headaches. Cons: Slow chained initialization (for the sake of compactness and simplicity). Requires to put somewhere 50-100pcs of U235 at the start. No beacon...

Power pole plus lamp screams output, but a description in plain English is always useful, so we can get a better idea what a circuit does from just reading the post and not having to try it out ingame. I'm sorry, it's more interesting to come up with this than to describe everything in detail. :rol...

Tertius thanks! Your solution is certainly more elegant, I should think about it, but you should also add additional signal delay combinators to avoid incorrect output with a rapidly changing signal. I use my blueprints myself, so I see the point in them)) All my blueprints are designed for frequent...

A bit different version that returns "item -1" if such item exists in the second chest but not exists in the first chest. By chests I mean signals. Capture.PNG 0eNrtml2O2yAQgK9i8dg6q0D8F6s9QN/3rVpF/pmskWywMM42inKA3qJn60mK7TTNJk4CTru72vohkbBhmOFjmAG8QXFeQykokyjcoBSqRNBSUs5QiO4zWln791aU5/yps...

This blueprint allows you to show the number of items in the first chest, but only from those that are available in the second chest. The number of actual uses in the game is large :D Capture.PNG 0eNrtml2O2yAQgK9i8dg6q0D8F6s9QN/3rVpF/pmskWywMM42inKA3qJn60mK7TTNJk4CTru72vohkbBhmOFjmAG8QXFeQykokyjcoBS...

You can see everything on the bottom power poles. I'm sorry, I thought I made the interface obvious.

It separates and sorts signals

input - one signal: A20 B10 C30
output - three signals: B10, A20, C30

Splitters always split items in half, because of this, distant productions receive the least resources. This blueprint fixes this problem by blocking belts if more than the average items passed through it.

Slow if there are many signals at the input, but it works! :D It's thread safe and supports negative values. Some letter signals are reserved. Also I think about much faster solutions.. While I was doing this, I forgot what for.. :D Capture.PNG 0eNrtXctuG8kV/ZWAy4AedN16C8gAAbKZTTazHBgCJbXtRvgQKNIYw9...

There is no min/max operator in the game. I decided to develop it for my purposes.. This blueprint is set to only look for minimal signals, but you can easily change it. asdagdfsfd.PNG 0eNrtXctu4zYU/ZWBloUyEF96GOgABbqdLrsZBIFsKwkxsmzIctAg8Af0L7rpj/VLStlx7NiU7r30O9EiAWyJFMVzXzz3kn7x+vksm5S6qLzei6cH42...
