I've loaded up Space Age several times now and it just hasn't clicked.
I wish I could describe it better.
Each time I've started up a Space Age game I quit within the first 30min.

The 2 combinators build i posted doesn't do the same thing as your build, its logic is simpler, it guarantees that a fluid would be fully consumed from the upper threshold to the lower threshold before changing to the following fluid. It's a trigger Schmitt, i updated to 2.0 an older version ...

The problem i have with using this name for the contraption is that as far as i can tell it doesn't prevent hysteresis. Since you have a variable upper bound, it can happen that it is temporarily the same as the lower bound or very close in case of low fluid. Say you have a low at 5K ; then if ...

Honestly - I don't know what this does.... I guess this could be a feedback loop. My programming days are long gone and I hope you can follow my notation.


I am not sure i can follow the notation, but i wanted to be sure i didn't make a mistake, because i realize it's not exactly working as a ...

I guess I see the misunderstanding:

Let's make an example of it. Whether it is useful or not.

I would like to have a single (decider) combinator that has 3 in signals on red wire:

in_r1 : signal type = nuclear fuel; value = 500
in_r2 : signal type = solid fuel; value = 300
in_r3 : signal type ...

If you have the circuitry for mapping onto a static signal, making it dynamic should take only a single arithmetic combinator: each[red] * static[green] -> each. Supply target signal(s) with value 1 on red wire.


I'm not sure I can follow your description. You just made my point. :?:

When ...

Thank you. That's a nice combinator collection thread I had not seen before. Great Work. Bookmarked immediatly.

Unfortunatly what I wrote was not how I intended a mapping function to work. Since mapping for me is different to filtering.
Say we have 3 Signals on one wire channel. With some ...

It does look a lot like the space age version of this https://forums.factorio.com/viewtopic.php?t=112005


No. Maybe. A little bit? :D

From distanly looking over the design Tomiket built, it seems to behave like a Schmitt Trigger, yes.
For my taste it is realized more like a boolean truth/lookup ...

Maybe using a couple modified schimitt trigger or 2 buffer tanks you coud avoid clock setups ? To be fair you seem onto a more interesting way to do thans what I have achieved so far with them, so i'd be catching the opportunity to learn if you post a setup !


Interesting idea with the Schmitt ...

Well - It does hold the memory for me too. I forgot to reset A/B/C to 1 ^^

The Py Mod has about 60 fluids with fuel value. That's a lot of combinators for every place I would like to use this contraption.

And about the 'not': I'm missing it as a selector. Like "not OIL => Output = every signal ...

Thank you very much for replying.

@Schulmeister

I actually DID solve it like that. I even figured if I want to have a 'soft' hierarchy of fluid type usage, I can use negetive offsets by constanc combinator or different buffer tank sizes.

I'd have liked to somehow refrain from clocked circuits ...

Hi there.

At the moment I'm playing Pyanodons mod set. You will encounter a lot of fluids that work as fuel for machines.
Since 2.0 makes fluids sharing the same pipeline possible I wanted to try to make it work.
My basic setup is composed of a fluid buffer tank with up to 8 pipe connectors where ...

Hello Helfima (and KiwiHawk?).

It's been a long time since I last commented on Helmod. I recently started playing factorio again and helmod got updated to version 1.x since.
I really appreciate you working and improving on Helmod. I like the general idea with using the new tree structured view very ...

Well, dear Devs, how do you do it? Again and again.

Since you restarted the weekly FFFs, my expectations have been upheld or even growing.
I never did know what I was expecting, but still I was expecting something. And I was never disappointed. How is this even possible?

But today I thought to ...

One problem there is with the current GUI is that the item counts cause all the elements in the list to shift by 1, which I assume is sorted alphabetically, so when you have an alphabetically first item constantly added and removed from the network (e.g. you run out of buffer and consume as as ...

What is this miserable discussion concerning a 5$ increase of the sales price?

Hi.

Is there an easy way in the editor, to make the camera/viewport jump to a specific location?
Since teleport doesn't work due to a lack of a player/character.

Basically I could load the scenario, than type coordinates with teleport and after that, switch to editor.

Although - is it possible to ...

Well, is 'wrong' the right word for it?

I DID see exactly the behaviour, that was described.

For completion - Advanced Rendering tech does not work, too.
