Blue print with parameter, product of ?

Post by Chico008 »

Hi
i'm making a clue print for a production site.
site has 2 rail stop :
> input
> output

goal is a foundry, to product iron plate, copper plate, or brick, from raw iron, raw copper, or stone.

i manage to make the input as a parameter. (param 0)
but how can i automatically set the output to be the result production of ?
for output i tried to do : parameter : produc of : param0

but, when i use the BP, input is asked, i select raw iron
when build, the output stations is named param1, istead of iron plate :/

did i miss something ? or is there another way to do this ?

When you say "raw iron", I assume you mean "iron ore". And given that the Space Age "Foundry" cannot produce stone bricks at all, I assume you mean "furnace".

What you need to do is set parameter 0 to be the *product*, and thus parameter 1 is the ingredient. An item doesn't have a natural "product", as most intermediates can be consumed by many recipes.

So what you specify is "iron plate". And you would use "ingredient of" iron plate for parameter 1, which is iron ore.
