In the current version Clay Brick is no longer pink (it's now a nice brown). I haven't gotten concrete production up yet and much of my base is already paved.

Thanks, I just tried this and it works quite nicely. My setup is now way tidier than the one with power switches.

What I do is to use the circuit network only switch to catalyst sorting when there is an imbalance of pure ores in storage and to use mixed sorting otherwise (and build up catalyst).

I'm Could we get some circuit control for the loaders and unloaders? You already said you don't want a "set filter" feature but how about "enable"?

This is mostly needed for LTN stations. First LTN says how much to load into a train and I would like the bulk loader to stop if that amount is reached ...

LTN stations have multiple entities and wire connections and seem to get them working flawlessly. Maybe take a peak there.
Yes, I'm looking at LTN for inspiration.

Enable/Disable control would still be useful even it shares a circuit connection with reading contents. We could always use a ...

Would it be possible to get a recipe to produce CO2 from coke? That would be quite realistic and help clean up a lot of spaghetti by not having to belt coal around to nearly as many places (which often also need coke).

It is, but i think that the optional part is a mistake.

Maybe you should make RSO a required dependency in the same version you change the ores, as both changes require generating a new map. Perhaps this should be called version 2.0 due to the severity of breakage. Also, I think you should make loaders-redux required as well since loaders are the only ...

I've turned my current game into a bit of a bug bash (fixing bugs as I find them while playing) and I'm posting the results to my github. I've taken care of a few already.

I've noticed that the electronic circuit recipies seem a bit haphazard and ...

Looks like I've gotten through most of the completed work. I've gotten steel gear mechanisms completely automated and circuits mostly automated (with a few chest pairs where the spaghetti got bad). Pretty interesting so far although there doesn't seem to be much of a point to automating science ...

I'm glad I could help, and it's always interesting to hear your stories. Having studied some chemistry, I find your recipies a lot more fun to play (WAY less immersion-breaking) than the vanilla ones. On this note, something else that would be interesting to see is large scale versions of machines ...

I've been thinking about the motor recipies and have a few suggestions. For realism, I think the roles of brushless and induction motors should be switched since induction motors became widespread fairly early on (early 20th century, only a few decades after brushed motors) and are a very simple ...

A lot of this early stuff is of course inspired by real life - check out some early (or late, later in the game) industrial history if you're curious. I would say do that if you're confused, but it would probably just leave you more bewildered :lol: "Where the heck did [X feature] come from ...

Really enjoying this mod so far, and I'm at the point of making my first electric machines (handcrafting circuits). Unfortunately, it looks like the Standard Chemical Reactor is locked behind itself via nickel and blasting fluid. Any way of getting around this (perhaps wood-derived nitrocellulose)?
