Looks like your inserter filter is "spent fuel cell of normal quality", but the reactor has processed an uncommon fuel cell and so there's now an uncommon spent fuel cell.

Change the filter to match "any" quality of fuel cell.


Yes this is the reason!!! Thanks

I only made a few of these ...

It'll last a bit longer. I think that this was just to use up quality stuff that I had no other use for.

Hi All

I'm confused as to why my nuclear plant has stopped working due to spent fuel cells when I have an inserter to remove them:

This works fine most of the time but at the moment I have 2 reactors in this state and I will have to manually ...

Hi All

I want to produce 45 science per second (a blue belt).

How many space platforms will I need for this? It seems that however big I make a platform I will be limited by the number of asteroids that happen to float by.

Also is there a limit for the max rate that supplies can be sent from a ...

I got all excited when I saw the "read logistic network requests" on my roboport and thought that I would be able to automate the supply of building materials to remote outposts when an entity is destroyed. Turns out it's only logistic requests and not construction... :-(

I guess I'll have to ...

Yeah I guess. Simple as that as I suppose. Thanks

Hi All

I have a logic circuit that decides how many items to remove from a train. I have say 10 repair packs, 20 power poles and 30 construction robots ro remove.

The construction robots are handled by a different insterter and go straight into a roboport. How do I remove the construction robots ...

Hi All

I am pre-recycler at this stage and am trying to craft rare quality modules. I am making progress but obviously end up with a lot of uncommon items that I don't want. It seems like an odd decision to not let me use these up in a non-quality assembler....

Even when I have the recycler it ...

There is no wait condition. It should wait until the next station is free. I have edited the interrupt based on your comment to not fire if the train is at the holding station.

the temporary stop should have been added before the mine but it's added before smelting so the train goes smelting -> holding -> smelting.

My interrupt:

You can add several stations into interrapt. Remember it is a schedule inside schedule.

I can't see how that would help. I want the interrupt to fire when any station is full so I don't know what station needs to be added after the interrupt

Hi

I have a train route that simply goes between a mining station and a smelting station. I have a train limit of 3 at the smelting station and if the mine is full I have full trains of ore waiting behind an empty train that is waiting to go to the mine (which is blocked by another train being ...

Hi all

I have just added a tain interrupt that is supposed to remove trains blocking stations when there is a full train waiting behind them but the next station is full. I.e. a smelting station has run dry, train at station is empty but mines are all full .

I added a simple interrupt, when next ...

There is a strange looking but very balanced loader for 2 blue belts, evolved from some discussion in this forum. It's almost completely mechanically balanced. I added active balancing nonetheless to force it and to make sure it's still balanced if the input isn't completely compressed, but if you ...

I've refined this a little bit now. SOme improvements:

I only have 1 constant combinator. I get negative values using arithmetic combinators on the single combinator that specifies the quantities of each good
I now ignore the goods that are not on the train unless there is a train in the station ...

a wait period of 0 seconds did not work BTW. It made a difference. The train stopped and inserters managed 1 sweep of the arm but then the train left. 1 second means that the expression is correctly re-evaluated when the train arrives.

Yes, a 1 second wait condition AND trainSatisfied = 1 as the wait condition worked. I can remove some combinatores and make it a little bit simpler.

Ok so the 1 second thing might be a bit simpler. With multiple wait conditions does it just execute them in order or does it leave if any of them are matched or what?
Sorry that the train isn't in the blueprint... First time I have exported ANY blueprint from the game so didn't think about adding ...

Just using any id. Making sure that T > 0.
