Currently building my 0.17 Mega train base, and the only thing im shooting are chest's filled with trash.
i came up with this idea but i dont know how to mod it in game. A Chest that automatically explodes after a 5 sec timer when its full. It should leave a Ghost entity behind so i can automate the trash handling xD

Try this:
https://mods.factorio.com/mod/VoidChestPlus.
It does not explode, but destroys its contents.

Thank you very much for your reply, i know these mods but unfurtantly they will destroy my ups in my big saves.(i tried SPAWN/VOID belt, creativ mod), and others. Thats why im looking for something that activates only if needed.
If i could fire turrets with a circuit signal i could make a vanilla solution

You don't need a mod for this. Get an "infinity-chest", then set it to remove items placed in it.
It is not craftable in game, so you need to use a /c command to get some.
Code: Select all
/c game.player.insert{name="infinity-chest", count=10}

The mod I linked does not have any noticeable UPS impact. It simply allows you to build an infinity chest from the crafting menu (instead of having to console it in) and sets it to destroy items.
