multiple assembling machines

[hreintke]

Hi,

I am learning how overlapping entities connect to each other.

Can create two overlapping inserters using code below twice:

Code: Select all

/c game.player.surface.create_entity{name="fast-inserter",force = game.player.force, position={game.player.selected.position.x+1,game.player.selected.position.y+1}}

Then they both work simultaneous.

When creating overlapping assembling-machine-2 in the same way

- create first
- provide recipte
- create second
- provide different recipe

Only the first one is active (provided material for construction by the inserter)

Can see that both machines are configured in alt-view. Both symbols are displayed.

How would I get both ASM's working at the same time ?

Thanks,

Can read that property and indeed points to the entity.
But is readonly, and in create_entity function there is no possibility to set it.

Any idea whether there is a way to update ?
