Indicator lights - levels on fluid tanks and at stations
Posted: Sun May 19, 2019 7:48 am
I built a set of lights that i found so useful that I now put them everywhere.
We scanning across the map it becomes obvious when a particular supply is running low - there is no need to specifically check the levels, you get to see them just by the lights.
I add these to all fluids and also all buffers in my train stations so I can identify, at a glance, which supplies are running low.
The images show the pattern of lights, the values in the combinators and wires required. Simply connect a green wire to whatever you want to measure and adjust the values as required.
