Re: Inserter-less compressed belt filtering using one combinator

How did you determine the values? Did you simply experiment or did you figure it out another way? If you don't know where you should search for the answer, you will waste huge amount of time for all possible combinations. So I started from the begining - belt and inserter mechanics: several differe...

Re: Inserter-less compressed belt filtering using one combinator

It's interesting that it works, I would have assumed that the timing will shift and the contraption would be unreliable. That's why this timing is a perfect for this build: one tick more and it will fail, one tick less and it will also fail. (BTW there are no "shades of perfect", you shou...

Inserter-less compressed belt filtering using one combinator

As it is said in the title, this will be a contraption for filtering compressed express belt without inserters. And no, we will not use this stuff, because it is no longer fun. I will start from the demonstration how it works: https://giant.gfycat.com/EqualGlisteningAmazondolphin.webm And something ...

[13.9] [Twinsen] Sideloading on disabled transport belt activates belt

Consider next build:
Build
Even if belt is disabled it is still possible to load it by sideloading:


Expected behaviour: sideloading should be disabled.

Fit integer number of items in transport belt

This suggestion comes from the irritating fact that compressed transport belt can have 3 or 4 items inside. https://giant.gfycat.com/DesertedRequiredCrocodile.webm To solve this issue my proposal is to change distance between items (as it was already changed 0.13.3 to 0.28125): - to 0.25 (12.5% shri...

Re: SIGNAL all in belt

This is not a 0.13.9 bug, just a regular weird behaviour (I double-check it in 0.12.23). This happens because "Everything > signal A" means "Everything except signal A > signal A" (otherwise this condition will be always false, because "signal A > signal A" = False). As...

Re: Smart Furnace - load-balanced, demand-based, and tileable

Hey XKnight, may I ask if you could update the blueprint string back from page 2 (the load balancing thingy) to 0.13? Or anyone else who still has this setup and already moved over to 0.13? Updated to 0.13.8. https://fat.gfycat.com/CriminalSphericalGnat.webm H4sIAAAAAAAA/8Vb226jSBD9lYjHXbxL38DWLA+5...

Re: Laser turrets without spending drain energy

Unfortunately, blueprint cannot preserve copper cables so the only thing which I can do is to describe this build and provide save file. This is how outpost in save looks like: 1.png And this is a combined scheme with energy flow and combinator logic inside (I've removed multi guard support to make ...

Make copper cables a part of blueprint

Didn't find this suggestion so going to make it by myself. At this moment copper cables are not a part of blueprint. This means if you create a blueprint with electric poles/power switches/substations and try to use it, you will recieve another cable wiring. Before 0.13 this wasn't a big problem, be...

Re: Laser turrets without spending drain energy

Each guard turret has an arithmetic combinator ("Red + 1") in the same network, this combinator is used to detect whether turret is firing or not. Once turret start firing, arithmetic combinator will be disabled, because it has lower priority than turret and turret's energy consumption is...

Decider combinator with "Anything" output

Actually, this suggestion is very simple. Now we have possibility to use circuit signal with filter inserter (set filters) and with requester chest (set requests). The main inconvenience using these objects comes from limited amount of filtered/requested items. This means if we send 20 different ite...

Re: Laser turrets without spending drain energy

But does the turrets get cut off during an attack there? Combinator logic error or is it just the detector turret not getting to shoot anything because the wall of turrets kills everything before it gets a chance? Sometimes guards don't have any chance to fire in biter, because main turrets have so...

Re: Laser turrets without spending drain energy

Ok, this is an extremely dumb build, but it surprisingly well works. We have several guard turrets, that are powered through the separate accumulators (these accumulators can be detached from main network during night, although I didn't worried about this). Each guard turret has an arithmetic combin...
