Another note: If you're using this circuit for UN-loading the chests, then the inserter circuit condition should be changed to Everything > negative of stack size. Otherwise the inserters will stop when the chest has more than the average, which is the opposite of what you want in that case.

Can you do a test comparing partial and full with equivalent throughput? For example, 4 100% full loops versus 5 80% full loops?

One more decider combinator set to Anything < 0 : Anything gets the items to be released in order, though you can't control which order. The output isn't perfectly compressed but it's really close. 0eNrtXd1u47oRfhVDN72ovRApUj9B2zcoCix61x4Ysk0nBGTJpah000XevZTklWWJVEiNfQ6EZIHdjSNqhvPNDMmZIemf3i6r2FnwX...

This will output the correct total items across refreshes for odd numbered requests, or multiple inputs for the same item. 0eNrtXV2PozoS/SsRr5uMsI1taN3dt328L6N92x1FJHG6kQhk+eg7vaP+72ugmySAk7IrubpIPdL0TAJUueqUy65jm/7lbdJaHYskq7ynX95OldsiOVZJnnlP3u+x/lr/LRfbvCjUtlpUeRWni6RSh3IRb4u8LBeF2heqfFHlt/9k/3pR...

I don't see the need for a depot for empty trains in your case. If the loading stations can't fill enough trains fast enough then the unloading stations will eventually starve with or without the empty train depot. The difference the empty train depot makes is that it allows unloading stations to us...

I gave myself the goal of controlling every aspect of trains with combinators. Pathing, scheduling, and wait conditions, all handled entirely with custom logic. Every train gets the exact same schedule, every stop gets the same name, and I need to make sure resources get delivered to the right place...

Neat! I like it.

Abstract.png Abstract in action.gif I've done it! I've made a working junction out of scribbles! Using Throughput tester v5.0.7 RHT/LHT (When did D become T? What does T stand for?) Score: 112/110 Set1: 115/114 Set2: 110/107 I couldn't get it to be perfectly stable like with clockwork, so the score...

In v5.0.6

Set 2 RHT 3-way is different from set 2 LHT 3-way. East coming trains prefer to go west for RHT instead of south.

It turns out that it is doable, but all combinators should be set to the same magic number 2*123=246 to work! :) Are there any other magic factorio numbers? The magic number comes from how the accumulated value = expected items per tick * input multiplier * |divisor|. You're expecting 22.5 items pe...

My current understanding is that fluid flow is uneven because one connection gets a bigger chunk of fluid than the others due to it always being first to update. My suggestion is to rotate which connection gets the bigger chunk on each tick, so if the normal update order for connections is N>E>S>W, ...

Unfortunatly it is 64-bit, so you need to take only the rightmost 32 bit.

You can switch it to 32 bit by clicking on "QWORD" to change it to "DWORD".

What could be better than having synchronized crossings? Having synchronized straights too! I find it hard to believe that a junction making straight tracks cross could yield a good score. And it took me time to realise that there was this unecessary crossing added. It looks even better than the fi...

Clockwork.png Clockwork in action.gif What could be better than having synchronized crossings? Having synchronized straights too! RHD & LHD Score: 81 Set 1: 83 Set 2: 80 Set 3: 82 Given scores were obtained with 30 rail tile signal spacing for incoming trains only. It's okay to add this to the ...

Filtering the list is currently impossible. I would love to make this possible and then just have one big list for all designs, but I did not find a way to do it in a forum post.

Put each entry into a new reply, then we can use the forum search.

Hey, nice intersection! The synchronized crossings are mesmerizing. Do you want to have it added to the post? If yes, which version? V2 obviously performs better, but I also like the simplicity of the original. I would love for it to be added, thanks! I think v2 should be used, since it allows for ...

Wouldn't it be better to have 4 lanes between the 2 Ts? Good idea! I was going for minimal buffers, but since buffers need to be there anyway, I might as well make good use of the space.

After looking at junctions for a while, especially the multicross junction, I thought of seeing what would happen if I just spaced out that triple crossing you see in a lot of T-junctions. This "Double Image" junction is the result. Double Image.png RHD Scores Set 1: 53 Set 2: 59* You can ...

There are a few cases where trains re-path. You do have to avoid those. So don't add/remove rails in the path of trains and don't have grid locks. After that you should be fine. It's not 100% foolproof but generally trains stick to the stations they have targeted. Trains re-path whenever they slow ...

Now extend it to more than one train. Note: Use the train limit instead of disabling stations. The trouble with using train limits for programmable train routes with multiple trains is the one tick when the station opens up. Can you guarantee that the train assigned to that station will be first in...
