Three things to change in Logistic network

Post by Neotix »

1. In inserters we should be able to setup amount from 0 instead 1 like is right now. Currently we can't setup "> 0" and it's little problematic when we want to build and setup logic gates.

2. We should be able to setup amount exactly how we need. Right now it's impossible to setup for example 213 because we have fixed steps and nothing between them.

3. When we connect red and green wire to the inserter, it's working like AND gate. We should be able to choose between AND, NAND, OR, NOR, XOR, XNOR

Technically you'ld only need AND, OR and NOT. NAND, NOR, XOR and XNOR can be made with the 3 basics already.

But you can't combine gates inside inserter, so you need all of them except NOT because you can alter condition.
I was thinking about something like:

Red wire: Iron plate > 1000
OR
Green wire: Steel plate < 100

I'd like to add a request that the red and green wires be recovered/reusable when we rearrange them. Currently, when you remove a wire, you lose it. I believe this detracts from the game.

As an update, we can now, with the latest revision, input 0 or 213 into the argument side of the smart inserters. Thank you developers!

Logic Gates with Factorio

Update: Revised gates to include A and B condition and cleaned up previous errors.

Building gates in Factorio is easy but Smart inserter itself is working like AND gate.

always assumed they worked as an OR gate. AND gate it is. Thanks

Also add info that if Smart inserter is connected to both networks (red and green) both condition have to be true (AND gate behavior).
