If I want an assembling machine stop, I wire the output inserter and deactivate it on the relevant condition. Output is immediately stopped. Or if it is a very expensive product it creates, one of the input inserters. In this case, current buffers are emptied, then production stops. Or I wire both ...

If inserter manipulation isn't good enough, you could always use power switches to just disconnect power to the machine you want to turn off :)


That's the workaround I'm relying on for now, but it prevents me from having very condensed manufacturing units. In my original design, some poles (all ...

Hello,

Allow me to exhume this topic.

I'd also love to be able to switch assembling machines ON/OFF via the circuit network.

I'd like to achieve "speed regulation" (through PWM-like signals), and this isn't really achievable via inserters manipulation.

Thanks @vinzenz for implementing SRV record support :D

@Saklad5 : What Wube is doing isn't "name squatting". I believe that the industry's current take on this is "as long as you aren't afraid someone will "steal" your name, you might as well skip registration". Although this is common ...

Hello there,

There is several things that seems unanswered on the wiki and Lua API documentation about inserters.


What are the units for energy_per_movement and energy_per_rotation ?
What does energy_per_movement and energy_per_rotation means ?
What are the units for extension_speed and ...
