Detecting when a custom inserter picks up an item

Post by pfg »

I already have a custom inserter, and I want to know when it picks up an item so I can replace it with something else. How can I do this?

I tried this as well. Seems like you have to check on_tick weather the inserter has an item it's arm. This turned out too inefficient UPS wise for me, but should work fine with few entities (maybe up to 100)
