Multi Stack Filter Inserter

[feng]

Hi,

did you also think that the new stack filter inserters could need more filter slots? Well, now you have unlimited slots

Select the items inside the constant combinator you want to have filtered. The pull-up combinator just adds 100 to the item count. So we have 101 now.
The sensor belt detects all items on the belt and sends the information to the comparator's input where it gets summed up with the item count of the pull up combinator. The result is true if one item count is above 101.
The item type is sent to the stack filter inserter as its set filter as long as the item is on the belt.
Two examples:
- Red science bottle: The item count from the constant combinator is 1. After pull up: 1 + 100 = 101. A red bottle moves over the belts = 1 red bottle. Both information get summed at the comparator input: 101 + 1 = 102 = true signal.
- Blue science bottle: The item count from the constant combinator is 0 (not set; no signal). No pull up, 0. A blue bottle moves over the belts = 1 blue bottle. Both information get summed at the comparator input: 0 + 1 = 1 = below 101; false signal.

FYI you can use any pull up value you want as long as it is higher than the max item count the belt detectors can hold.

If you use blue express belts you will need two detector belts as it is moving too fast for one detector. If you use yellow or red belts one detector in front of the inserter is ok.

Hope you like it.

This is true! I was always wondering why my inserters would prioritize plates over other filtered products.. well now I know

Still going to stick to the single filter slot

I have created a similar product that simply uses 2 arithmetic combonators. On mobile so no screenshots.
The first combonators subtracts the desired unfiltered item from "each" and then adds a rather large number to ensure it is positive.
Input is a single or chain of sensor belts set in hold all on the same wire. And output is stack filters on the wire and taking off of the sensor belts.

Emmm,

Dumb question, but what is the problem with negative values?
Just specify items that you don't need, and use hold signal from the belt and inserter as a filter.


But if you want to go a little bit further you can notice, that inserter won't grab plastic bars from the belt when steel plate arrives (even if it already has a few bars in hand).

That's brilliant. I'm going to use this from now on.
