How the get the amount of ...

Post by RynTyrell »

Hi there,
ive got a small problem ... ive placed several storage chestests ... my logistic robots just place my different ores all over the place so its hard to tell how much i have from what ore. Is there a possibility to get a number of how much ore from what is in my storage chests ?

When you hold your mouse on a storage, requester or provider chest in the bar on the right side of the screen it shows the contents of the chest and below that the sum of all the items of all provider of storage chests within that logistic network.

that can be hard to read, especially if it scrolls off the screen.

wire a roboport to a arithmetic combinator. [ore] + 0 output [ore]
wire the output to a pole, and mouse over it. now you can read the ore amount alone. ;)

welcome to the forums by the way. :D

The combinator is not needed... Wire the chests directly into the pole. ;)

OP wanted to read the ore content of all the storage chests. using the combinator they can read the ore, and only the ore.

i got the tip that you can use a roboport cause all the items in the logistic net are saved there ... so that works now ... now to get the mod logistic trainnetwork read and and start a delivery when an specific amount is reached ... that i don't get worked ... i tried a konstant kombinator getting lets say iron Ore than said the power switch it should activate when iron ore is below an specific amount .... that signal i gave onto another constant combinator amount wich i gave unto the logistic network trainstation with the amount i want to get delivered ... but it doesnt work as i want.

wire whatever you want to read to power poles, string wire on the poles all the way to the train station.
