Long Description:
Belts
Logic Belts:
To access the interface of a logic belt you have to click in the middle of the belt (where the controller is).
The belt will be active when one of the two conditions is true. The lamp beside the belt shows the status (green = on, red = off).
To mine/remove the belt you have to aim close to the edge of the belt.
Do note that the belt has to be powered, otherwise the belt will not move.
The belt switches Direction, so it will be facing the opposite direction (because it is off) after it was built, until you set a condition.
Counter Belts:
To connect a wire to the counter belt you have to aim in the middle of the belt.
The output signal is in the signals tab (see picture below)
The maximum signal output is 8 (4 on each line).
To mine/remove the belt you have to aim close to the edge of the belt.
Pipes
Valve Pipe:
This pipe lets fluids only pass when one of the conditions in the controller is fulfilled.
The pipe will only work when it has power.
Reader Pipe:
This pipe emits a signal of the type and amount of liquid in the pipe.
The amount is multiplied by 10, so that you can read the first decimal place.
Because otherwise amounts like 5.4 would result in a wire signal of 5. When its multiplied by 10 the wire signal is 54.
Temperature Pipe:
This pipe emits the temperature of the fluid as signal.
Rail Signals
Logic Signal:
This signal will put a stop sign (fake cargo wagon) on the rail, when one condition in the controller is fulfilled.
The signal will only work when it has power.
It will not spawn a sign, when the signal state is yellow or red, because otherwise a train could crash into the sign or the sign could be attached to the train which will stop the train.
In the config file you can change the behaviour so that it can place if red.
Reader Signal:
This signal will emit its state as wire signal.
0 = green
1 = red
2 = orange
Picture:
Pictures
The belts in the top row are off and in the bottom row are on. (All belts were built facing north)
You can also built T-juntions
You can see the arrow of the controller is always pointing in the 'on'-direction

If a other mod overrides one of the technologys logistics 1 - 3, then the icons in the technology window will not appear.
(If you know a mod that does, please let me know, so I can adjust the load order)
Graphic Request
As I am not very good at graphics, I would be happy if someone could make some better icons and/or belt animations

Cool idea, now we can rotate our belts and change direction
May be we'll need logic splitters or smart splitters with filter function

Logic splitters can be done if you place a belt before or after the splitter.
smart(filter) splitter would be very cool, but I have no idea how to implement this funtion.
There was a smart splitter mod for 0.11 but since the belt mechanics have changed this method doesn't work anymore.
Is that a bug or am I missing something???
(it's in control btw but WHY WHY????)

That is not a bug. Apparently I forgot to remove some testing code.
A fixed version is up now.

I know it's not really a bug bug, but still it's an unintended undocumented feature .
Oh and btw could you also make a belt that gives a signal when items are on it? I know we could do this with inserters and stuff but it would be a lot more elegant if we could use a belt like that.
... the logic belt has a hitbox?? why can't I run over my belts anymore

The collision box will be removed in the next version.

Great idea!
Can you add a version that has belts from mods as well? The faster belts from dytech and bobmods would be excellent!

Is it possible to make a logic splitter according to logic belt functionality? Something like if on the logic belt N items, then splitter move item to the left else to the right or even turn off.
If you wish I can try to implement this for myself, want to learn some modding stuff.

I have currently no plans to implement splitters, so go ahead and try out some modding.

If you look at how the current lane splitters mod works, using collision boxes, you could probably adapt the same technique and combine with the technique used here and in the rail logic mod to make splitters you could have some control over.

How about a counter pipe? Or valve that isn't an engine (limiting throughput or two way flow)

Wow cool, this should be in the vanilla game.
(Though I probably won't use it since the updates of the game come a little too fast for the modders to keep up and when deciding between playing the older version while waiting for favorite mod to be updated and playing the latest version with all new gadgets .. the latter wins ... especially with more mods comes the problems that several skip some versions / are incompatible to some ... so happened in treefarm)
