Re: 7 segment display
This looks nice but it is rather big. There have been a couple of more elegant solutions with much less combinators, just search the forum for display.

Re: The sad state of circuit logic
-New device called State machine (intermediate tech): It would have a configurable number of states (up to some reasonably small limit, maybe 5 or 10) as well as conditions for state change, and outputs associated with each state. The inputs would be used to trigger the state changes from one state...

Re: Let's see your clever builds
Hi, I wanted to use socket's smelting as a basis for a smart furnace when I discovered a problem with it. The inserters marked on the picture have problems picking up single items of ore from the underground belt entrances (it's the same for exits). It only works when there's a bunch of items coming...

Re: Combinator based supply train MK 1 - MOD FREE
let me first answer your points: ... So in the end, i understand your critics and those points annoy me too. But current Vanilla makes a better handling really hard, because you have no train control, you have no items stack size control, you can not read items in cargo wagons and so on. The pulsed...

Re: The sad state of circuit logic
But I'm using far longer shift registers (thousands of bits long). Turns out there's an efficient way to get very large shift registers with relatively few combinators (up to +80 bits per additional combinator).

Re: The sad state of circuit logic
Thank you ssilk for taking the time to explain your perspective. I get your points and they are of course very valid. I still feel the need in optimizing usage of assemblers, furnaces and train lines with circuits, but I see that opinions differ greatly on that topic. I think this thread has done it...

Re: The sad state of circuit logic
Sadly this method only works when there are no larger gaps on the belt. An inserter set to a specific stack size should wait infinitely until it has requested amount in hand. It still works then but the inserter will pick up less than the stack size you have set. You'd have to use pulse mode for re...

Re: The sad state of circuit logic
So many posts since I last had time to check the forum.. I'll try to answer the ones I believe are most relevant to what I wanted to say in the first place. @ssilk I don't fully agree with your analogy. It somehow fits the belt situation. I do like that belts are hard to control. But then there are ...

Re: Circuit network features for 0.15
The problem with that solution is that it only works from belts, and not from buffer chests. Which, among other things, makes it unsuitable for smart furnaces that are fed from robot chests. Yes that's true. Hopefully the dev's will change their mind. I haven't visited this thread for a while and m...

Re: The sad state of circuit logic
If modded solution is ok then it should be easy to solve the item counting problem. Bob's mo (logistics I think) separated research of inserter stack size so you can easily make a mod with inserters that always move 1 item. And then you can count your items one by one in any context. If you argumen...

Re: The sad state of circuit logic
Besides, I think anything aside from dynamic train schedule is implementable with circuit network in the current version for trains. No. Let me explain.. Take a smart furnace as example. Or imagine a factory with an assembler that can change recipes (using a mod). Then you will need to precisely co...

Re: CELLS - grid modules Prototype
That said I think for that kind of contraption to work more efficiently you really would need something like Smart Splitters that allow you to reroute items in a certain direction where they are needed. But the devs will never implement something like it and I don't know if you are into mods or if ...
