By rights when it detects less than the required amount of steam in those tanks it should start sending a Red pulse every 2 minutes on the Red wire. If the pulse timer is counting up when the activation cycle kicks in it will only trigger a reload when the timer resets. When your steam tanks are ful...

I use a pretty simple but really effective solution; I read an accumulator signal (0-100) and wire up all the inserters for my boilers to insert if Power less than X. Approx 20% of my total boilers are set to turn on below 80%, another 20 at 60%, and 40%, and the remaining 40% if below 20%. This mea...

I use 1-4; Each side of the cargo wagons offloads onto a single side of a belt, and opposite sides merge to give 4 full output belts, my trains all run on a dual lane system and the loopbacks have signals set so it's practically impossible for them to get blocked by other trains.

Or not realising crucial issues like low coal flow before it's too ...

Wow great miniguide. I've been playing Factorio for ages and done a lot of circuit work, but this is the first time I've truly understood Anything or Everything properly, thank you! Also the thought never occured to me to wire up an entire belt to limit flow, I usually just limit the output chest an...
