Quality filter question

Post by bbutle01 »

I DID try to find this first, but I'm not finding it.

I'm setting up a recycler loop and I basically want a splitter that sends [ANY ITEM] of quality normal on the belt that goes back to the start, but [ANY ITEM] of quality above UNCOMMON to the side that has the storage chests. I

I can see where to set it up to do a specific item with a quality above NORMAL, but that's going to take a splitter for each item. If I did it this way I'd use inserters to pull it because I can filter on multiple items, but I still end up with a lot more than if I could filter on [ANY ITEM]

I've seen plenty of people talking about doing [SPECIFIC ITEM] of [ANY QUALITY] but that's not what I'm looking for.

Ideas? Or is this all circuit stuff (which I have no clue about yet)

You can set a Quality filter on Spliters, without setting an Item. Just click the Dots at the bottom of the selection panel, then the Green checkmark:
