This is why we can't have nice things.

To completely dodge the flightpathing and takeoff/landing cycles entirely... I'm making Cargo Zeppelins. Basically planning on them being loaded and unloaded by Logistics robots, having them fly between specified points and turn themselves into Passive Provider or Requester chests during specified s...

The base object Razorin has used for the basis of the balancer is an inserter, which requires some kind of energy-usage spec. He can't use a box because those aren't rotateable. If you set the energy requirement zero or negative, it doesn't charge its inherited internal capacitor and flashes red (&q...

That's because it alternates input lanes and output lanes separately, and does so completely ignorant of the types of items passing through. What behaviour are you expecting?

@Razorin; was studying your mod as part of self-education on the mod API, and wanted to point out a very useful optimization you could make; caching the known input and output belts near each splitter. In my own testing, with 300 Single Splitters set up on fifteen separate belt loops, this cut the p...

v0.1.4 now up. Fixes some control.lua bugs which were causing initialization issues and mod conflicts. They're sorted out now. Also new screenshots available in the linked album.

v0.1.2 now up. Check it out in the first post! * Improved Research; plastic spool and copper cable/wire jobs are now an extra research item to carry out. Costs rebalanced to suit. * Added reasonable "default" temperatures to molten copper and iron, vaguely reflective of their IRL melting p...

My first release here is really just a bugfix release; clean up the rough edges, get the stamping working as a furna...

New fork is now released. Please see this forum thread for updates under my stewardship. Don't let that dissuade you from creating your own fork, however!

Type: Mod Name: Smelting Description: This mod leaves the stock smelting process intact, and adds an unpacked production cycle that can be tuned and improved more easily than stock.

For anyone following this mod, as the original author has said he's abandoned it, I'm working on fixing some of the bugs and rough edges he left behind.
