[MOD 0.12.11]ResourceCombinator 0.0.5

[Choumiko]

Resource Combinator

Info:

• Adds a combinator that outputs the amount of resources of the field it's placed on.
  Searches for crude oil in a 13x13 square, outputting following signals:
  
  From left to right:
  • Oil/minute including bonus from speed modules
  • Oil/minute without speed modules
  • Number of pumpjacks

  Thanks to drs9999 for making the Resource Monitor Mod. The resource field detection and overlay is taken from there.

Nice! I was thinking about building this myself too. Way to go!

[waduk]

So, this mean we can actually integrated resource count on network ?
Wow,..just wow...

Fantastic improvement of the former idea and makes it now totally in the sense of the game.

How will it work with resources like oil? (yield, slowly depleting)? Fluid resources?
(these are inspirational questions )

For now, like this:

Updated to 0.0.2

• look for resource under combinator first, in neighbouring tiles if none found
• search for oil wells in a 13x13 square around the combinator
• outputs oil per 10seconds, number of oil spots as pumpjack signal

The 13x13 square is shown like the supply area of the electric poles. Note that it's oil per 10seconds, as the circuit network only supports integers. The combinator output may even be more precise than the tooltip of a pumpjack due to rounding (or maybe not )
Blueprinting a combinator only works if you blueprint the ghosted combinator (the item you place by hand is an electric pole which gets switched via script)
The pumpjack signal is the number of oilspots, not the actual amount of pumpjacks placed.

As always, open for suggestions

How does the output interact with modules and/or modded pumpjacks? Currently, effect sources won't update the expected output on a pumpjack, but modded pumpjacks with higher base mining power/speed will. Does the resource combinator work the same?

Right now it completely ignores pumpjacks/beacons. What it outputs is calculated by the amount a crude oil spot has. It's basically the oil/10s you'd get if all spots had a pumpjack on it.
I'll probably add/change it so that it works like the tooltip and maybe calc with modules/beacons too.

This mod looks better and better!

[Choumiko]

Updated to 0.0.3

• output oil/10secs as pumpjack signal for oil spots with pumpjack on it
• # of oil spots as C-signal
• use speed modifier of inserted modules

A bit of of a prerelease, since i'll probably drop the # of oil spots and oil/10seconds for oil spots without a pumpjack on them. I can't really think of a use for those. If you can think of one, let me know, else the next release will probably output:

• crude oil signal: Amount of oil per 10 seconds (for crude oil with pumpjacks on it, including speed bonus from modules in the pumpjack)
• pumpjack signal: # of pumpjacks (so you can calculate the average oil/s)

Anything else that could make sense?

Hey Choumiko, it's me again, asking noob question as usual.
I don't get it how read the value , see pic below.
v.0.0.3

Pic

Pumpjack Icon = Didn't have a clue what value is that. Number of multiplier plus pumpjack from modules ?
C Icon = Self explanatory, number of pumpjack in area that you stated that in the first post.
Crude oil icon = Didn't have a clue, adding/removing pumpjack/modules didn't change that value. Is this with/without modules value ?

Also, why use C signal icon ? I think it would makes sense if the C was replaced by the pumpjack icon and the current pumpjack icon were changed to "pumpjack icon with small modules" overlay.

Also, can you make it the calculation configurable ? I'd like to see the value /min. It doesn't matter if the update rate is every 1 min, not /10s. to reduce script-update.

How about:

• pumpjack signal: number of pumpjacks
• crude oil: oil/min without speed bonus
• crude oil with small modules: oil/min with speed bonus

Oil/min really seems better, since the production window also uses that. Update rate is already configurable in control.lua line 7

[waduk]

• crude oil: oil/min without speed bonus

Yeah, that's better. OK, i see the config file, thanks for making it configurable.

[Choumiko]

Updated to 0.0.4

Changes

• outputs oil/minute instead of oil/10seconds
• changed meaning of signals (again )

From left to right:

• Oil/minute including bonus from speed modules
• Oil/minute without speed modules
• Number of pumpjacks

It doesn't check for beacons with speed modules (yet), also speed bonus is only updated every 5 seconds.

[waduk]

Thanks for the update and make /min calculation.
Can't test it since i accidentally delete my save file
But the good thing is i found a bug on new game.

[Choumiko]

Can't test it since i accidentally delete my save file

Sounds bad

Add

Code: Select all

global.version = global.version or "0.0.1"

before line 26 and you should be good. I don't know what that "New game" thing is

Edit: updated the linked zip to fix the error

[waduk]

Thanks, the error on new game is gone.
Yeah, i'm really sad about losing my save file (hundreds of hours playtime).
Technically it wasn't deleted, but i unknowingly overwrite the save file with other world.

updated for Factorio 0.12.11 ResourceCombinator 0.0.5
You should only upgrade from 0.0.4, since i took the opportunity to remove old migration code

[Sacredd]

Please upgrade for 14.x.
Or is there any other altenative mod?

Does YARM have some kind of resource combinator?
