Hmmmm, now the problem becomes, how do I make 1/32 of the alien sample production go to research, and 31/32 get recycled?
This is my crude 1:32 selector

I think I have an answer, which is probably not the most elegant. The problem boils down to: how to always guarantee that the gardens are distributed evenly between the farm and seed extractor. Logistics doesn't work, because I couldn't figure out how to control the "round robin" distribut...

I have a couple desert gardens, seed extractors and desert farms. I know that one can slowly grow the number of gardens by looping through the cycle: -- garden + 30 alien sample -> 2 garden -- garden -> 32 alien sample I carefully hand-carry the gardens and distribute them to seed extractor or farm ...

Thanks, that's almost exactly what I was wanting
Perhaps these options could be more discoverable? I would have never found it on my own.
The hidden hotkey access is ... unexpected.

the search seems to be working here as expected One man's bug is another's missing feature is another's treasured behavior, and these things can be a matter of opinion. I call it a bug because the interface makes me take the additional steps of clicking around the potentially numerous result catego...

Let me give a concrete example (fuzzy search off). I want to logistic request "chemical furnace 4". So I bring up the logistic tab and start typing. I can get all the way through "chemical furnace" and not see it: https://i.imgur.com/VhxsWxy.png only after adding the space at the...

Please forgive if this is already fixed, or I am missing something obvious. I posted this as a "gameplay help" but received no reply. I love playing the angel+bob mod packs, but I find the item search to be incredibly frustrating. At this point I can't remember if vanilla has similar issue...

I love playing the angel+bob mod packs, but I find the item search to be incredibly frustrating. At this point I can't remember if vanilla has similar issues or if they are worse with the mods. The main problem is, the search often makes me type a near-exact match of the item name, along the way pro...

Ah, I had an extra train stop where it shouldn't have been! But it is weird that the mk1 cargo worked?
Thanks for the help!
john

Thanks!

I must be missing something really basic, but I can't seem to load cargo wagon mk2 in angel+bob. At least, the normal method of using inserters doesn't seem to do anything, they just sit there. help?
john

Ah, found it. I need to control the inserter into the passive chest by reading the network contents out of a robobox or zone extender.
Thanks
john

I am playing angel+bob mod pack and have this situation: There is a little cluster that produces barrels, canisters and bottles and puts them into a passive chest with a certain limit. This is used to "seed" the bottling/unbottling recycling processes. Meanwhile, I have oxygen bottler fair...

I am playing angel+bob mod pack and recently researched "normal" bots. I've noticed that I can mix both logi bot types in the mesh, and they seem to cooperate. But given the vastly different speed/capacity profiles of the two technologies, how do they decide when a slow/big bot should be u...

Thanks mmmPI! I hadn't thought of the vanilla pump. And your caution about "pumps on when both empty" is wise, that would be a problem because then nothing would ever fill. I can simplify your logic using an arithmetic combinator to calculate residual-propene -> A signal and then testing A...

I have a steam cracker turning methanol into propene + residual, both of which are useful. I can buffer them to a point, but if one use dominates, the other will eventually starve. I'd like to flare off the "excess" output, which seems simple if I could cross-control two valves: Valve1: fl...

Of course I found it after posting

Is there any way to adjust the "last recipes" size? I could have sworn it was 2x5 or 2x6 earlier, but now it is a puny 2x3.
Also could use a hint for how to save something in Favorites.
Thanks
john

Thanks!

I'm using angel+bob mod pack, and I've checked the option "do not hide void recipes", but I'm just not finding the void recipe, or what to machinery to use. In the crafting menu, searching for "void" comes up empty. FNEI also comes up empty for "void". I got here becaus...
