I complained in FF#144 because it had no graphic but now i can't do that.
Now I get what I expected from Albert

So far to turn on/off signals I'm using negator. It take some space so this feature would be nice replacement.

Because of different typed of fuel (also in mods), it should just summarize energy and show "Fuel = 1652MJ"

Filter Stack Inserter could have ability to control amount of holding items. When we set "Stack Control" option and send to inserter signal Iron plate = 5 then it's mean that inserter will grab only 5 Iron plate. Of course when we send signal Iron plate = 100 but inserter can hold only 13 ...

I almost build smart furnace but encounter one problem. I need combinators contraption that will store input signal and can be updated only when inserters don't hold any item.
It's crucial because if input will change while any inserter hold item then it will ruin the setup.

That sux ;/
To be honest I feel like devs with v0.13 decided that all in v0.12 was too easy so they fucked up everything. For me it's the most disappointing update so far.

AFAIK Stack Inserters can grab 12 items at once and normal inserter can grab 3 (botch fully upgraded). When both work simultaneously we get 15 stack bonus that can be used for steel production. For stone we can use only stack inserter with 12 stack bonus. On weekend I will try to build smart furnace...

I think that I found a solution :D https://i.gyazo.com/baedda34f5f7c723a2df2b6017571f88.png We have to place items only on one side of the belt to make it precise. First belt have condition to work when required item is less then required amount. https://i.gyazo.com/359d1d9641e2cbeece88d53a70763164....

I think it won't work because inserter will grab few items and place one on ground but still hold rest. When next inserters grab item from ground it will also grab items held by first inserter because it will put them on ground one after another. The only way i can think is using belts connected to ...

Anyone noticed that left loop have no exit? Chain signal detect if train can exit next block. So if you have setup ---- TRAIN> ---- [C] ----- Block 1 ----- [R] ----- Block 2 ----- [R] ----- Block 3 ----- then Train can enter Block 1 only when Block 2 is empty and Train can immediately leave Block 1....

This design should work ok if you get the signals right. Take a look: http://i.imgur.com/XzzxRk1.jpg C= Chain rail signal R= Rail signal This setup don't need chain signals at all because trains don't have alternative ways. Only when you want to set higher priority to the main line, you can place c...

I didn't placed signals on the loop because they depend on how long the train is.

Besides I mentioned about loop capacity. Even if you place signals on loop you still can cause deadlock if you put too much trains. The loop itself is bad design.

They made them shorter because when you placed old combinators one after another, input nodes were in the same place as output nodes of another combinator. It was hard to connect and see connections. That's why most people made one tile space between them.

Loader is really unloader. It take items directly from chest or machine and put it on belt. They not work witch wagons.

I played with them a little and to be honest they can be in vanilla game because they're not so universal and OP. In most situations I still prefer stack inserter.

Please don't erase code. Maybe some day when you will have very good humor, you will decide to give us that option

No need to apologies. I added link with similar proposition to have it in one place. I just didn't want to write the same thing twice

@Zeblote binary calculations are not intuitive for normal player. Most of the people don't even know how to convert integer into binary and vice versa. Then how useful would be that logic combinator? Besides when we want to use 0;1 signals, we already can build that logic. @Shaymes if i understand i...

I made similar proposition: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=26647

Exactly how it should be in the first place.

There is no boolean signals in Factorio. All signals are integer. How you want to solve logic based on integers? 619 Iron plate XOR 937645 Copper plate = ?

We can build logic gates witch arithmetic/decider combinators because we can determine which value is 1 and which is 0.
