Forgot about this... but my sugguestion should still be valid.
The Powerplug is after all still a mechanic to seperate two networks, so why not those logistic ones aas well ?

A decider is a single way switch.
To achieve a 2 way switch, you'll need 2 deciders + 1 controller, either a power switch (to turn both on/off or a input-signal (chest/ wire signal/ constant combinator)

I'll keep it short:

I'd like to have the option to connect 2 logistic wires to the power switch. As long as the switch is turned on, the signals are transmitted (in both ways), when it's turned off, they're not.

Instead of a permanent present button to browse through your blueprints, what about a building you must place, where you can get those blueprints ? Im thinking of a Library-Style building, that require a empty blueprint as input, a selectable saved blueprint as recipe and a crafting / copying time b...

I just build a Demo-Map for some friends of mine (to show them how circuits work) in the Map Editor, and found out, that some entities won't keep their settings when you close their window: - Filter Bulk Inserter: "Set Filter"-operation -> always returns back to "Enable/Disable" ...

You're in a good position, with lakes around you.

Once you've ramped up your turret and walls production, you can close the gaps between them and have a nice and comfy base

Yeah, there is a C&C style orbital Ion Cannon somewhere around here

But... but.. whats wrong with a good bfg ? Nazis build BFGs... lots of them. And most of those superweapons turned out to be useless in the field Huh? BFG isn't a real weapon, is it? Prooflink? BFG is short for Big Fucking Gun and nazis build multiple Wunderwaffen, that should turn the tide in the ...

With the upcomming change, you can preset the stuff you want in the outpost, eg 10 walls and 5 turrets via a constant combinator. The (single) smart inserter will move everything from the train, that is missing in the network. Currently you need 1 inserter per item, that moves while this item is les...

That way you could wait for a certain stacksize, before your drones pick the stuff up. You can already do that with smart chest, provider chest, smart inserter and some combinators. Hopefully, with new changes this system will become less cumbersome. you need combinators for that ? I'd teach the sm...

Just wondering, with the upcomming change to logistics, will it be possible, to toggle a provider-chest form active to passive ? Or from provider to "just smart" ?

That way you could wait for a certain stacksize, before your drones pick the stuff up.

I read about an interesting auto-deploy idea: Have a requester and an active provider chest, request a single item. Put that item on a belt and insert it into the provider. Have a smart inserter, that dumps logistic bots into a Roboport while there are >0 items in the provider. As long, as there are...

Page is loading for me, (except the 2 images). the circuit-changes sounds cool. and congratulations to the 2 Awards

I still favor the timer based reset approach. A rapid inserter grabs every item it could get its claw on, but when it can't get any item for (let's say) 1 second (or 2) it will move, even with just a single item. This way, your factory won't shut down because of lazy rapid inserters, and fast insert...

I'm wondering, what happens when you place multiple rapid inserters in a row. Will they drop and pick up each item one by one, or will the pick up the entire stack? And what is, when the source (say a chest ) has less than a full (inserter size) stack ? Edit: And why don't the rapid inserters assume...

Poison Capsules are your friends

In high traffic areas, place multiple Roboports and the drones will distribute (almost) equally.

In my main depot, I have 2k logistic drones, handling the un-/loading of the trains, backed up by 20-30 Roboports.

Something that helped me, was to manually delete the replay-file from the savegame-zip.
That cut the size in half (it's still 18 mb >.> )
