Re: Need an unique number for a circuit network
And having two outposts be build at the same tick is exactly the problem we are talking about. This is a very-very interesting task. As far as I know, there is only one readable distributed system which depends on the build order (the true unique ID) - train network. Unfortunately, they have be bui...

Re: Setting train destinations using combinators - 2
Updated original post.
As I expected "End" station was redundant, also I did some clean-up and greatly simplify almost everything.
Quite interesting that now train may enter into the ongoing shifting, so mean waiting time is halved.

Setting train destinations using combinators - 2
Initially, I wanted to create a post in this discussion , but my solution completely differs from the proposed one, so it deserves a separate topic. TL;DR - Described a system which allows to select destination station in runtime using combinators. Also, I'm assuming you are familiar with combinator...

Re: Stack Filter Inserter - set stack size according to filter
Seeing as the filter inserter can't take 'each' for filter size (you have to specify a signal type), I need to somehow figure out how to grab the 'first' signal (the same one that the inserter is using for the filter) from the bunch, and get the count of that (which I can then convert to a differen...

Re: [0.15.12] Steam engine efficiently consumes 500C steam
So the question is, what does it add to the gameplay to fix this? Fixing this issue will add some consistency to the game: if you say "max temperature is 165C" this means max temperature is 165C, not 500C. In current state steam engine description contradicts its actual behavior, nothing ...

[0.15.12] Steam engine efficiently consumes 500C steam
According to description maximum steam temperature for steam engine is 165C.
When engine is used with 500C steam it consumes 9 units per second and produces 900 kw.

Re: [0.15.x] Fluid mechanics
Am I correct from your post that I need a flow of 825/60=13.7, so I should be able to have 245 pipes between pump and exchanger and between exchanger and turbine? 251.9 pipe segments is the max distance for steady 13.7 units/tick flow. This number is correct if your build meets all these conditions...

Has anyone seen, or have ideas for a combinator contraption that can choose a signal (any single signal) out of a wire that has multiple signals on it? For example, input is 10 stone, 5 copper, 1 electric engine. I need it to pick one (doesn't even matter which one) and output it, so I get for exam...
