Just noticed that Compakt Circuit mod does this somehow, will have to have a look.

You have to use multiple entities if you want more connections.

This is how LTN does its stations, right? I was looking there to see how they did it.

Is it possible to create a combinator with more than one input connection point or more than one output connection point? Or is it limited to having different red and green outputs?

I can see that the ArithmeticCombinator prototype has input_connection_points and output_connection_points which are ...

Thanks! I hadn't thought of trying to do this with an inventory sensor.

I've already crossed the bridge of making a custom version of the recipe combinator so was trying to achieve this with a custom crafting combinator.

From what you've said, it should be possible to use:


local recipe ...

Once I've got a reference to an assembling machine, is there a way to find out what ingredients it needs to craft its current recipe that it doesn't already have enough of?

I realise "enough" is a rather difficult concept here, as an inserter can put half a dozen of something into a machine and ...

Similar problems here. I can't find a way to paste from the system clipboard into the "import string" dialog.

Edit: Scratch that. I remap caps-lock to control in GNOME but factorio doesn't respect the GNOME key mappings. Ctrl+V with a real control key works.

I'm a bit new to LTN. I'm playing a game that has Bob's, warehousing, LTN and miniloaders. I'm trying to design an industrial station where a warehouse stores all the inputs and outputs and trains can either load or unload as the trains orders dictate. I'm having trouble.

Here's my latest iteration ...

Yep, good call. Thanks.

I'm running factorio 1.0.0 on linux 64-bit. I have a fair selection of mods installed, including most of bob's, LTN, but also maybe ten others.

I'm seeing a problem where the contents of a belt or hand are not read reliably. This structure demonstrates the problem:

Should add that this has started happening in the last week or so.

I'm seeing factorio freeze randomly on Ubuntu 19.10. There's no apparent pattern; there's nothing in particular that I'm doing at the time. It is possible that it's a crash just at the start of saving; I've had it happen once just as I press the Save button and it's never happened soon after an ...

Yes! Thanks.

I feel a bit stupid, but...

My flying fortress has run out of fuel over a uranium field. It seems the mouse pointer only switches to the state where you can select the flying fortress if there's nothing else underneath it; since there is uranium everywhere underneath it, I can't select it to refuel ...

I'm brand new to modding and trying to figure out why someone else's mod isn't working, so sorry if this is a daft question.

There's a setting which is declared in settings.lua like this:

data:extend{
{
type = "string-setting",
name = "railloader-allowed-items",
default_value = "ore ...
