Re: Friday Facts #356 - Blueprint library for real

At this point, I thought, that I would come back to work with full power, but I just couldn't. When I tried to work, I had this strong, almost physical feeling of disgust, that was impossible to overcome. It was clear to me at this point, this is the the typical burnout situation. kovarex , as a fe...

Re: Kovarex - autostart, any modules, 40pcs cycle, 12beacons per machine, all the bells and whistles (update for 18.x)

For full 12 beacon setups I prefer having 80 u235 circulating per machine, so they have no down time. Sure. My design, the first post, support start with 40 then change required number in one constant combinator and here we go system adapt. Altho it has a problem to go back from 80 to 40. the kryoj...

Re: Kovarex - autostart, any modules, 40pcs cycle, 12beacons per machine, all the bells and whistles (update for 18.x)

It does do auto start at 40 235s, stores the 328 for enrichment and fuel rod creation. I do use circuits to calculate the inserter stack size on the catalyst moves. This allows for using full stack sizes and factors of 40 are not a problem. I'd be interested to hear anyone's thoughts Your design is...

Re: Friday Facts #351 - Beacon re-redesign & Simplified fluid mixing

Its great that you listen to the audience and was able to move to re-design a sauron's eye to the new breed of beacon. Flat, hand-made post-apo feel. With great feature of visible modules. Details of color glow are cherry on top. We will probably add the setting, it makes sense. :) Althou visible mo...

Re: Laser turrets consuming far more power than expected

In the following screenshot, I have 32 accumulators providing 9.6 MW of power for three firing laser turrets Graph updates in 5s interval, however your firing rate power peak has higher freqency. So your accumlators cycle between source and consumption tab. So you can count laser consumption peak +...

Re: [0.18.30] Wired circuit connection not working after logistic connection

There is no priority, "enabled" is the default so circuit condition and logistic condition build an AND gate. When I found this feature (few month ago) I was suprised that is not highlighted anywhere. Option to add 2 conditions on a single inserter could simplify some creation a lot. If y...

Re: Kovarex - autostart, any modules, 40pcs cycle, 12beacons per machine, all the bells and whistles (update for 18.x)

Inserter on the top turns on, when there is at least stack of U-235. Inserter on the bottom turns on, when there is less than stack of U-235 and it has to be filtered inserter so it won't take U-238 first. As in author design, it requires stack size to be divisor of 40 greater than 2. I also shrink...

My auto-start setup requires no combinators and only one circuit wire:
As the topic says, 40pcs (U235) per cycle. Your machine need way more to operate, so doesnt fit criteria.

Re: Stupid simple Kovarex node.....

There's a yellow inserter on top set for manual stack of '1' and two green inserters set for a stack of '6'. When the reactor exports it's product at the end of a production cycle the yellow inserter dumps a single unit of 235 while the two green inserters dump everything else to the belt. I see 4 ...

Legs inventory icon are in different position than in the armor grid.
It would be better when armor grid icon and inventory icon were somehat same.

Barrels light oil and acid are almost same. Acid should be more yellow and also less green to avoid same look as lube. Water and petrol have grey barrel lid instead of liguid_color lid (blue, purple) Barrel lid of heavy oil should be darker ( close to barrel body), so it is not confused with light o...

Re: Version 0.18.27

No. If you select '*' and '+' for an arithmetic combinator, then the '*' on the output means "Apply the operation to each input signal.". So, if you had the same option for a filter inserter, it would mean "Limit the stack size to the signal value for the item being picked up."....
