[Idea] Sort materials on transport belt

Post by Gafda »

I think this picture can illustrate my idea more easily than a big text :)

In fact this system may be good for big and compact industries.

I hope this is not a bad idea :o

Not at all :)
This is almost the same as the piece we are planning, we call it recombinator.
This is the most wanted piece of factory part we are looking forward to have since the belt to ground.

Great !

I have others suggestions :

- Will it be possible to limit the number of items on transport belt ?

- Disable some electrical components via another component (like a circuit breaker). Let's take an example :

You want to power on a radar rapidly, but you don't want to make another steam engine or solar pannels. Just turn off the power in your minig drill (or another electrical component ) to get more power.
In fact it's like a control pannel for the electricity consumption.

This induces that power plants can overheat and therefore this tool will permit to regulate the energy.
