Requester chest set request
how do you use the circuit network to set requests for a requester chest. it just blanks out the request slots and no inputs seem to do anything
Re: Requester chest set request
You can use an arithmetuc combinator that sends a certain signal to the chest. In the network setup box of the chest, select the "read request" (or similar, not in front of factorio atm).
I've done so to end my coal-feeding of my trains and switch to solid fule:
I replaced the steel chest buffering the coal by a requester chest. This chest still is feeded by a belt, that I have cut off of his supply, because I want the belt to be empty prior to removing it. So the chest will be filled until the belt is empty.
Now I'm reading the amount of coal on the last element of the feeding belt into a decider combinator. Once the belt gives "zero coal" as a signal, I send "solid fuel" as output with the value "1" to the arithmetic combinator. There I perform a "solid fuel * 50" calculation that is sent to the chest.
E voilà
