While you're fixing .15.12 [heh], I was wondering it it would be possible to add a "1GW drain" or "100MW drain" entity or somehow set a cap on the passive/active power voids (or is this already possible somehow?). I'm testing nuke plants under different load levels and building 20k radars gets old really fast . Not to mention it kills your fps if you try game speed x10, which is quite useful for nuke plants as they are so slow to heat up / cool down...

(What would also be great if the power void could output the energy it consumes on the circuit network)

May I have more information about this? What should I do for item-request-proxy?

May I have more information about this? What should I do for item-request-proxy?

Ideally, you'd just insert the items from itemProxy.item_requests into the target entity, then destroy the item proxy.

Unfortunately, the target entity of an item-request-proxy isn't exposed (but I asked for it: viewtopic.php?p=275737#p275737 ) so this could be achieved by searching for the entity at that position (ignoring item-request-proxy and entity-ghost) and using that as the target.

While you're fixing .15.12 [heh], I was wondering it it would be possible to add a "1GW drain" or "100MW drain" entity or somehow set a cap on the passive/active power voids (or is this already possible somehow?). I'm testing nuke plants under different load levels and building 20k radars gets old really fast . Not to mention it kills your fps if you try game speed x10, which is quite useful for nuke plants as they are so slow to heat up / cool down...

(What would also be great if the power void could output the energy it consumes on the circuit network)

Try the electric energy interface?
Active power void is assembling machine, which is not connectable with wire. I will check the passive power void.

Yeah I know about that screen . My use case was as follows: To test where the problems were with my setup, I put each set of turbines in its own grid so I could see whether it was delivering the 8x10MW power. Manually checking 10+ electric networks every time is possible, but if the void were connectable I could have indicator lights or something like that to show whether a bank is providing the power it should. Anyway, minor issue, but I though that it might be a neat feature... Again, I am loving your mod, together with Helmod it is a fantastic way of planning out optimal designs before placing them in the "real" game.

BTW, I love your idea of one-time blueprint! I will keep it in my personal mod pack.

Drop an item on the belt and watch it duplicates.
It was designed to duplicate items inside chests, before the duplicator chests were made. They are not quite useful now.

While you're fixing .15.12 [heh], I was wondering it it would be possible to add a "1GW drain" or "100MW drain" entity or somehow set a cap on the passive/active power voids (or is this already possible somehow?). I'm testing nuke plants under different load levels and building 20k radars gets old really fast . Not to mention it kills your fps if you try game speed x10, which is quite useful for nuke plants as they are so slow to heat up / cool down...

(What would also be great if the power void could output the energy it consumes on the circuit network)

Try the electric energy interface?
Active power void is assembling machine, which is not connectable with wire. I will check the passive power void.

Yeah I know about that screen . My use case was as follows: To test where the problems were with my setup, I put each set of turbines in its own grid so I could see whether it was delivering the 8x10MW power. Manually checking 10+ electric networks every time is possible, but if the void were connectable I could have indicator lights or something like that to show whether a bank is providing the power it should. Anyway, minor issue, but I though that it might be a neat feature... Again, I am loving your mod, together with Helmod it is a fantastic way of planning out optimal designs before placing them in the "real" game.

BTW, I love your idea of one-time blueprint! I will keep it in my personal mod pack.

Well, I'm adding the possibility to move the items in containers and not only the container itself.
Normally, I don't need to create an item request proxy (I just change the ghost item's item_requests property.)
The item request proxy is only needed if there is already an item at the destination and that item won't be replaced (there is a setting so that you can chose if an identical item is always deconstructed then reconstructed or if it's kept unmodified)

Drop an item on the belt and watch it duplicates.
It was designed to duplicate items inside chests, before the duplicator chests were made. They are not quite useful now.

Ah gotcha, ty. And ty for this wonderful mod! <3
