Parallel auto malls?

Post by DimLemon »

Do you think it is possible to create independent auto malls working in parallel with different recipes by listening to the selector combinator?

I tried to implement this by listening to index 0 by the production block, deleting the signal after memorizing it and transmitting the listening to the next production block. I managed to assemble a prototype that roughly implements my idea, but I do not consider it successful.



1) Put the items from the combiners into the chest
2) Connect the red wire from the combiners output to the power line
3) Remove item 1, 2, 3
4) Return item 2
5) Turn on and off the permanent combiner on the block corresponding to item 2 to clear the memory

Not sure what auto mall you're referring to, so it's not clear what you mean with your details.

In general it seems you're trying to build a mall with dynamic recipe allocation with more than 1 assembling machine, and all assembling machines should pick different recipes to produce multiple items in parallel. To achieve this, it's probably best to design this layout from ground up. Stitching together single assembler malls will probably fail.

An example for a multi assembler mall is here: viewtopic.php?t=122384

Please excuse me, I'm not good with terminology.

I have studied the scheme and this is not what I want to implement. I do not like the limitation on the number of production buildings and the limitation on the use of a certain type of building.


I have brought the first part of my idea to the final result.
There is no production example, but there is a display that displays the current recipe of the production line. To mark the requirement, use a constant combinator.
Instead of the display, you can use any production building you wish and in the required quantity.
The only problem that is not solved at the moment is deadlock of components. This can be solved by installing more production lines than you plan to produce unique recipes, or by adding priority to recipes with forced reset of a busy line to a recipe with a higher priority.
