So, I'm building an Iron Processing Station, where boarding trains are either taking or providing iron. And, when automated, all of 'input' trains' cars have only one purpose - providing or taking the iron, obviously. But I like to have this "personal" train, where I carry all of my stuff. And I wanna sometimes fill my personal train with iron plates, but for example, only one car. And that leads me to this idea, it would be great to control each section of inserters, turn them on/off. Let me show you what I'm thinking of:
Is that possible?

You can use a power switch for that. Power each set of inserters with a different power pole, and turn on and off whichever you want.

I mean, yea, but I thought there is some other way using circuit/logistic network, maybe?Koub wrote:You can use a power switch for that. Power each set of inserters with a different power pole, and turn on and off whichever you want.

But you still want a manual step at some point, so why not the power switch? You could also have say a constant combinator and manually change its output.

Oh, thanks. I didn't realize that constant combinator has a on/off switch.SyncViews wrote:But you still want a manual step at some point, so why not the power switch? You could also have say a constant combinator and manually change its output.
