Through my experimentation, the list of signals is predictable. It sorts the signals according to value (high to low) and for signals of the same value, the order of signals in the crafting menu is used. Not in my testing, have you actually tested it? Signals are sorted by value in the GUI but not ...

It's been what's coming up on a year since this suggestion and nothing yet? It really boggled my mind when i realized that splitters had no circuit network capability... It has a filter, surely it should have a circuit network condition to set said filter! And to touch on the priority discussion, i ...

I have an idea for optimization. You should add a selector in the GUI for input. You should be able to select red, green or both wires. Avoiding using both wires means you can avoid spending time merging the red and green wires and even not reading one of them at all. While that's possible on pure ...

Seems great, i need to actually use it before i can say for sure. But it did spark an error while playing.
See your github issues.

Wait wut? Miniloaders will now split evenly? I've always used a circuit to ensure there's at least inserter pickup bonus * number of miniloaders amount of items in a chest before activating the miniloaders as that ensures an even split. Otherwise, whichever miniloader was "first" would alw...

The rail loader has 4 chest connections. So figure out the positions for those. Then you need vertical and horizontal versions, which just flips the x/y coords around, since the loader only has 2 orientations. Yeah but i was knee deep in doing it the extension speed way. And then when i tested it t...

Extension speed is a no-go as far as i can tell. It produces weird results.

Dammit, i should have tried that first... I am so stupid.
But... How? How do you determine that position? That's a lot of orientation stuff and whatnot. That's definitely in your hands because i don't know how that works in your code.

Reading into it, i would say maybe? At least for extension speed. I will try to raise it and see what happens. EDIT: That definitely had an effect... On ALL THREE cases unfortunately... - Regular interface chests (1x1 tile) got much faster. - Bigger chests became faster. - Train loading/unloading al...

Oh right, i just noticed myself damn.

So, positions matter?

I would assume it's got something to do with... https://github.com/mspielberg/factorio-railloader/blob/master/control.lua#L63 inserter.pickup_position = type == "loader" and interface_chest.position or main_chest_position inserter.drop_position = type == "unloader" and interface_...

I had a "crazy" idea today. I am facing difficulties with the interaction chests and my robots in that the robots tend to empty one chest at a time rather than in a balanced fashion like they do with requester chests. So i thought i could just place storehouses between the railloaders inst...

Did you forget something? 0.5.2 was released with a crash bug. Have you updated to 0.5.3? No, i was unaware that the version had been bumped. And the code on github is still with said crashes so i thought you had missed something. EDIT: And if i did, i would still get a crash. See my second post. I...

But the combinators and inserters have their overlays defined in their prototypes don't they? Or maybe i am confusing them with the decider combinators "texture" change depending on their mode? Pretty sure you're confused with combinators. Inserters don't have a prototype reference to any...

Ah yes, i keep forgetting stock game has measly 50 stacks. Either way, the BRL has plenty speed to serve queued up trains both inside and outside. The problems i've been facing is getting trains round the network where they are needed before the BRL is full of items and i am on red belts...

+ https://dddgamer.github.io/factorio-cheat-sheet/#inserter-throughput so i rail loader is like 55.44/s base (2 red belts + a little) I can tell you right now that's not the case at all. First of all, you are assuming an inserter bonus level of 7, hence not base speed. Secondly, they are DEFINITELY...

will py raw ores be supported?? also how many stack inserters are inside one rail loader ( question in order to know how many belts i can lull from one based on stack inserter stack bonus)? Without looking at source, i would say 12. But looking at code: https://github.com/mspielberg/factorio-raillo...

But the combinators and inserters have their overlays defined in their prototypes don't they?
Or maybe i am confusing them with the decider combinators "texture" change depending on their mode?

Either way, can't you just add the same overlay sprite that exists on inserters/combinators?
