Full tank gives 24000 as output signal
Full tank gives 24000 as output signal
Hello there, I just created a system to evenly fill my tanks using combinators. Now I have stumbled across somthing interesting, that I cannot explain: When I connect a full tank to the circuit, the signal reads 24.000 instead of 25.000, see picture. As you can see, this has nothing to do with interfering circuits, as I have used a red wire for measuring the content. Well, so why is that? What am I doing wrong?

It’s actually reading something like ~24,995.

As far as I remember there is rounding, so 23500..24499 will appear as 24k, and 24500..25000 will appear as 25k.

Ok .. it's because I built a fill level display, where the last (green) light should be active when the tank is full. SO I wil set it to 24.500 ..

You could also hook up a constant combinator that adds 1 to the fluid count signal:

A good mod deserves a good changelog. Here's a tutorial (WIP) about Factorio's way too strict changelog syntax!

Constant boxes don't need power.

I know, but having power doesn't make them dysfunctional either. Moreover, the pole isn't even connected to electricity (but the area actually is in range of a Creative Mod super substation).
I've just plopped down the combinator where it seemed convenient, not too far away from the pole showing the signals.

Ah. And I even do exactly that. That was me just blindspotting, sorry for the distraction.Pi-C wrote: ↑Sun Mar 20, 2022 8:46 pmI know, but having power doesn't make them dysfunctional either.
