Combinator Help
Posted: Thu Aug 18, 2016 5:09 pm
Hey everyone!
I read through the Combinator help page before posting this, I've watched several youtube videos and searched for a design. I've fiddled for a couple days trying to get it to work properly and can't get this last part down.
I am using barrels on trains for oil. I want to have a single train go to each of the depots and have the depot only withdraw a certain amount of barrels (for this lets say 50). Then once the filter inserter removes 50 empty barrels it will stop taking out of the train. Those 50 barrels will get filled and then put back into the train and the train will move on.
I have done that! I used a simple chest and counter to count how many barrels get taken off. The system does what I want it to and then moves on. The problem I am having is that the arithmetic combinator will not reset once the train leaves. I've tried doing an S-R latch but I'm extremely confused. I can get it to work up to that point. The train only takes off a certain # of barrels at each station and then moves on. It's only good for that one trip at the moment though cause then I have to go around and manually reset each arithmetic combinator.
If someone can help me I'd really appreciate it. I assume it's a simple S-R latch attached to my counter but I can't seem to get it to work...
Thanks
