Circuit network with one regular inserter and two items

Post by beagle17 »

I have two items on the belt.
I want to place both items into the chest, 50 of each.
to set it up with two inserters and two chests, but is there a better way to do it?

Underground belts can be used to split the left and right lanes of a belt. See this page from the Wiki:

Edit to add: This still needs two inserters. You will have to use red and green wires to limit the amount each inserter will put in the chest.

Note:
Has to be primed with a CC in case the chest ever becomes empty.

Using integer overflow might be too occult for someone getting into circuit network. ;)

I imported the blue print, but how do I view the circuit network settings? I right clicked on the ghost item it just disappeared.

You need construction robots to build the blueprint. Or use this cheat:

Code: Select all

/c for _,g in pairs(game.player.surface.find_entities_filtered{name="entity-ghost"}) do g.revive() end
