So, a bit of context: I want to extend big power poles so that they act as roboports with: - 0 bots slots - no usable logistics radius (I plan to have logistic radius = 1 so that they can connect to a roboport lognet when placed just outside of the roboport logistic radius) - a <big pole wire reach>...

I have built a setup with combinators to insert items on a belt, where each inserter is triggered with a delay so that you get a nearly compressed belt. Here is what it looks like : http://pix.toile-libre.org/upload/img/1491242537.png To reset the contraption: 1) turn off the 'S' constant combinator...

How will the recipes be affected with the big 0.15 science overhaul (no more alien artifacts) ?

If I set up an AM with a given recipe and an inserter picking from a crate to said AM, and then drop all kind of items into the crate, the inserter picks only what is needed by the recipe, right ? Although I do admit there need to be some mechanism to prevent an output inserter from emptying all of ...

We already have inserters picking coal from boilers, it would be nice to extend this behaviour to input products in assembling machines. You could then build the following assembly line : AM1[iron gear wheel] #1 > parallel(AM1[transport belt] #2,AM2[electric inserter] #3) > AM1[green science] #4 > A...
