Sorry for slow response, been sick this week.Satis wrote:Thanks, this was greatly needed.
I have 2 suggestions for the mod.Kind regards
- One thing I would suggest you add to it, is that when placing an Logistic Combinator, then highlight the logistic area so it's easier to see if you are in the logistic area, just like the logistic chests and roboports does
- If you place it outside of the logistic area and select something to get the value of, it output the max int value. Would be better to change it to 0 or even don't show the signal for it at all.

Using a custom provider/requester chest as the entity that get's crafted/placed should work. In onPlaceEntity check for that entity, destroy it and place the combinator instead, Has the downside that you can't blueprint it, unless you want 2 craftable items (the "fake" combinator a.k.a. chest and the real one)GopherAtl wrote:The first suggestion seems like a good idea, and while I currently have no idea how to do it, I've got no reason to think it can't be done and an idea for where to look to get started, so I will investigate!
You can lower the update rate to reduce script update in config.luaColossus wrote:Unfortunately, as much as I love the functionality this mod gives, I'm not going to be able to play with it any longer - it is making my gameplay stutter and framerate drop the more I use them.
Hopefully it's a bug and not part of how this needs to function.
lol, I'm working on a mega factory, there is no sparing. This is with only a partial implementation by the way, I had used 28 when the stuttering became too much.waduk wrote:ALso, use sparingly.
Actually, I think I understand how this could work. To send information wirelessly, designate an item or material as something you wouldn't normally put in a logistics chest. Then put it in a logistics storage or passive provider chest when you receive a particular signal (up to the amount of the signal if you like), and remove it when the signal drops. The logistics combinator would then receive that information and pass it on to a wire network it's connected to.ssilk wrote:One polite question:
How difficult would it be to transmit the information wireless?
AKA having a sender combinator and a receiver combinator. The senders add all items in their logistic network (equal signals are added like with all other signals), the receivers can ... receive that one or more signals.
Currently only one channel is needed, but maybe later more. There needs also be no limitation in sending range.
Just to spare the kilometers of wires to span between my outposts.

Okay, do you mean, if you use a blueprint but something in the blueprint is not available in your system, and you need it, would you be able to build it? Yes, I think if you already have that item being autocrafted -- but logistics signals are available in smart inserters already, so I don't think you'd necessarily need to use a logistics combinator for that. On the other hand, why not, eh?diongham wrote:With this mod would it be possible to build what is missing from a blueprint? That would be really neat.
. This is a third time I ran into this behavior. First two times I spotted a problem with bottled petroleum gas (these r not liquids, but regullar items from Bob's mods). With petro-gas even stranger things happened -- LC's emits signals for about 4k of bottles of gas, but there is actually no bottles in logistics network.
