It isnt really a bug, its more a known limitation. Its because there must be transport belt to take item from and to.
I Updated the long description.

I tested the version, and is still not keeping up. I also noticed a huge perfomance hit

I've just changed the Function MoveItems of version 0.0.8 into this

Code: Select all

function MoveItems(ItemName, InputLane, OutputLane)      
    if OutputLane.can_insert_at(1.0) then
        local stack = {name = ItemName, count = 1}
        InputLane.remove_item (stack)
        OutputLane.insert_at(1.0, stack)
        return true
    end
    return false
end
No more performance problems and express belt works great

This was tested with factorio version 0.13.4

Hello,

just wanted to check out your mod but i get the following error for version 0.7 / 0.8 and 0.9 on Factorio 0.12.35-0. Is this intended and the mod only will support the beta build 1.13 with this versions and the included fixes? I do not have installed any other mods.

I have checked the config.lua but i didnt see for me visible errors with my small knowledge of lua and other programming languages.

Kind Regards

Because the game as been changed so much from 0.12.35 to 0.13.x
for game version 0.12.35 you have to use version 0.0.6. For game version 0.13.x you have to use 0.0.9

You need to change a little thing in the mod and it's work after.
Open \Single-Splitter_0.0.9.zip\Single-Splitter_0.0.9\info.json
and replace

Code: Select all

"factorio_version": 0.13

Code: Select all

"factorio_version": 0.14

Do you plan on adding the inverse? Where you can stop either the left, or the right lane. That would be nice to have.

Hum... I think is not very hard. You can try this, no ?
And you can build this easily with a normal spliter ^^

If you're saying I can easily do this without a mod, then here are some things to know:

1. Without this mod, you can put a regular splitter on a track, make a line on, lets say, the left side of the splitter. Then turn the right side of the splitter back onto the left track. So this mod is completely pointless using your logic.
2. I have no idea how to code, it would also be even harder to make a mod for an in-dev game.
3. There is no way to block 1 half of a track

There is a way to block a single lane, UNDERGROUND BELTS. Place it and then rotate it so it is moving the other way!!!

Well I'll be damned, that's some nifty engineering there. It's a shame it only works if the underground belts are going 1 direction. It would still be nice to have something block a side of the track, instead of having a small setup to do it. Just like this mod right now.
