hi,

i have a smart inserter connected to a red (steel) and a green (gear-wheels) wire. but as soon one of the conditions is fulfilled the inserter refuses to fetch the unfulfilled condition.
In the screenshot the smart chest holds already exactly 100 gear-wheels:


is there something wrong with my setup or is an "OR-usage" of smart inserters and different wires not possible atm?

thx

A smart inserter works if all of it's conditions are met (i.e. - it's always AND, never OR).

Also note that the condition has nothing to do with which item the inserter grabs. It can have a condition on gears, for example, but if it is positioned in front of a chest containing, say, copper, it will happily grab it until the condition is no longer True.

dammit. thx anyway.

You shouldn't feel defeated already. Technically it's possible to have AND and NOT ("NOT <100" is ">99", for example).
As NAND is complete logic system you should be able to "program" any logical condition (Although it may be complicated).

(from older versions, but this should clear the ideas at least )
