I'm sure this has been done before, but I had something that was slow feed (bottlenecked by something else in the factory) that had just one too many ingredients for the amount of belts (read: complexity) I cared to have at the moment.

I decided it would be better to fly the stuff in using logistics bots, but I didn't want them flying back and forth every time an item was used, so I decided to whip up (what I consider to be) an elegant solution.



See imgur post for details, but here is the blueprint code:

Intresting idea.

There is a thread with more compact implimentations for hysteresis

Someone should put the compact hysteresis here: https://wiki.factorio.com/Circuit-network_Cookbook
There are a few threads with hysteresis already..
