Re: Help with combining logistics and circuitry


I was not suggesting you add mods to your game; I was pointing out a couple of mods that provide an additional use-case for a Garbage train.

That said, why not have the bots clear everything for you? Make your unloading station (and any other train stations you need), plop down the BP, and use a ...

Re: Help with combining logistics and circuitry

I have a storage chest that gets unloaded into the last wagon of my build train. As for clearing out trees, etc., I have a "personal build train" with just the essential stuff to build the Auto Build Train station. It has a 2 or 3 empty wagons just for rubbish.

Have roboports report missing items to circuit network

Hi. It would be helpful if a roboport can send a signal to the circuit network stating missing items for construction. It already reports all missing items to you visually next to your hotbar.

Re: Help with combining logistics and circuitry


This setup works for a One->Many approach, not just a One->One approach, as well. A good example is defense bases.

Help with combining logistics and circuitry

Hi all. I'm looking for a bit of assistance regarding combining logistics with circuitry. I have a train station that unloads what I tell it to via a constant combinator. Its a design i saw from KatherineOfSky a long time ago. The problem I have with it, is that it only unloads more inserters (for ...
