Given you can insert into the hub and extract with the unloading bay - this is functionally item teleportation. Mods can already do that with a linked container or proxy container if they want to allow teleporting items.

I have found myself frustrated by the inability to differentiate specific outputs myself. in my case, when making 'smart' assemblers, with dynamic recipe switching.
I want to be able to 'read ingredients' and send them to a combinator to manipulate quantities, and then to a buffer or ...

Context: In the Blueprint editor, I can insert ghost items from my cursor into the blueprint title. E.g. I can use the Q pipette tool to pick up a ghost chem plant, then click the title to insert the chem plant icon into the title.

Bug: I can place a ghost chem plant into the blueprint title, but ...

so I can insert, check for and remove items on a belt, but it just isn't possible to modify for example the spoil percent of an existing item?
or can i just remove one item and insert it again with a changed parameter? this would probably not preserve item order and lane side

In my opinion, this request can be closed, because it is obsolete.

About the inventory: It's now possible to request bots into the roboport. You can read the bot statistics. So to balance bot amounts in the network, you request a small amount of bots into one roboport and read bot statistics. You ...

I would then assume that [...] therefore you cannot 'save fuel' by only adding uranium right before it loses the necessary temperature to power the turbines?


If you can insert at the last possible moment, you can indeed save fuel. Timing that moment is not trivial, though it is easier than it ...

Waow, that's a nice one x) it was often requested by players ways to deal entirely without robots or ship the components of the rocket parts with inserters and belt only, and it was there all along ! Quite convoluted but making a lot of sense when thinking of it :)

The Concept
I am proposing a new tool (or a new mode for the Deconstruction Planner) that allows us to use an existing Blueprint as a Deconstruction Mask.
The Problem
Currently, refactoring large structures (like City Blocks) is tedious.
Shift + Click only deconstructs entities that have a hard ...

Productivity would allow the agricultural tower to produce more plants per operation
Speed would allow the agricultural tower to produce plants faster
Quality would make the agricultural tower produce higher quality plants

Why wouldn't any of these work?


Because code-wise, none of those ...

Recreation:
Have a recipe which doesn't accept modules, but the furnace does. A simple example:
local steel_recipe = data.raw.recipe["steel-plate"]
steel_recipe.allow_productivity = false


Mod:
furnace_module_oddity_0.0.1.zip


Place modules in a furnace:

It takes each combinator 1 tick to process input to output. If you want to make sure that you are comparing results from the train contents at the same instant, your two chains of combinators have to be the same length. If one is a step longer than the other you can insert a 'dummy' step before ...

if sort_and_merge is not the only function to ignore entity owner rules, what is with these functions:

LuaInventory::can_insert
LuaInventory::count_empty_stacks
LuaInventory::find_empty_stack

Attached is a save file that when switching to Nauvis the camera should focus on a specific inserter that has a filter to only insert bioflux into a captive biter spawner. Within a few seconds of this save being loaded, the inserter will pick up a piece of bioflux that will turn into spoilage as the ...

With 2.0.38 we got the proxy-container with `proxy_target_entity` and `proxy_target_inventory`
Which allowed me to create this mod (WIP), where you can insert/outsert from custom inventories.

I currently implemented this by adding some invisible proxy-containers at the ...

This can happen with a captive biter spawner, with a bioflux spoiling into spoilage. The inserter then waits for the biter eggs to be pulled out before it can insert the spoilage.

This can happen with a captive biter spawner, with a bioflux spoiling into spoilage. The inserter then waits for the biter eggs to be pulled out before it can insert the spoilage.

Since eggs don't spoil in the spawner, many players keep some amount of eggs in the spawner. In our case, it means no ...
