Factorio Forums

i want to count the content of the internal storage of asteriod collectors, and return the the asteroid type as signal when below a certain threshold.

i can use a decider combinator to do that, and it is working.
however, is it possible to do this for different rock types with one combinator? i was experimenting with it, and with cards like each, but i cant seem to work it out without using 3 combinators for each collector.
now, i try to keep my ships small and thats a lot of combinators.

so can somebody give me a tip please?

Simplest solution is to have a constant combinator with all your signals and their thresholds. Then you can connect current counts using for example red wire, constant combinator with green wire and use a single decider configured with condition Each[R] < Each[G] output Each 1

Wow! thank you!

this expansion has completely changed the way i play this game. i played factorio for almost a decade now, but when i started my first game of SE, my kovorax was a mechanical design wich worked by having the belts in the right lenght and bots i only used to deliver fuel cells.

now look at me, building circuit controlled assemblers with parametrized blueprints, controlling production via circuit conditions and using belts only where i need a constant stream of high throughput.

Thanks Fulgora!

aaanyway. this expansion. i really liked factorio before, but this is just cranking it up to 11. just incredible!
