Can i set a filter for an spoiled amount

Post by its a me »

I want to use an inserter to burn any pentapod eggs that are a certain amount spoiled so they don't hatch but all i can find is the setting to take spoiled ingredients first but i don't want to be burning perfectly good pentapod eggs that are still like 80% good.

There's no current way to read the spoilage level from either a belt or chest. This has been a highly requested feature, but the devs haven't commented on it yet.

I've been looking for this as well. The closest I've managed is to ensure there are enough of the item to ensure there are atleast 2 separate stacks in the chest, then an inserter set to take spoiled first will atleast chose the more spoiled stack to pick from. It's far from ideal, but for some applications at atleast gets the jobb done.

I set up an inserter which offloads most spoiled eggs to a heating tower if there are more than N in a chest.
Works well your production is running constantly, as I beleive it should on Gleba 😌

My solution to this was to not put them in chests and limit production to demand so that they never back up too much on the belt. They just don't have time to spoil.

For pentapod eggs specifically, since they always start at full freshness when crafted, just burn any that aren't immediately used up.
