Expecting to the inserters to stop inserting once the there are three slots left.

You have to specifically tell the inserters to stop inserting once the wagon (or train) is full enough. I'd look at how you're doing this, and make sure that the inserter conditions/filters are set correctly.

You will probably need to attach your factorio-current.log in order to debug this.

I don't think I've ever bothered to filter the signals from the output combinator. What goes wrong when you let the non-item signals into your filter inserters (or whatever else you're using)?

You can do this already if you use Miniloaders.

You can also do a not-quite-perfect version by controlling the belt the loader is connected to.

By default, mods that are not mentioned in mod-list.json are enabled. You can change this in the Other settings window.

If that doesn't fix things, I'd try also deleting crop-cache.dat and data-cache.dat when changing mod-list.json, if you have that caching enabled.

Both Auto Deconstruct and Picker Inventory Tools provide a better (as in 'more automatic') version of this feature today.

It's been awhile, but I'm back to trying to build an LTN-controlled train network. Why? Train station is designed with specific train composition in mind. If the train station is designed for N cargo wagons then full train = N * 40 stacks or N * 25000 (liters?) for liquid trains. But there is no N ...

I think the solution is probably to find a different oil patch.

1. Add turrets until the biters aren't killing the walls or turrets. This will depend on the style of your wall, the type(s) of turrets, whether you're using CMO , and the spitter/biter spawner ratio of the nearby nests. 2. Zero. Use pumps and tanks for loading and unloading, not pipes. (see the wik...

And i know your not up to discussing great detail about it, but im just having a hard time wrapping my head around how to really make this work practically. Sooner or later, lead will be used less than tin, and lead ingot will back up. In order for this eventuality (or the reverse) to come to pass,...

I think this can, in most cases, be done by leveraging existing mods. For the inserter version, use a recipe combinator from Crafting Combinator to convert from the selected recipe to the required ingredients, multiply by -2, and add the inventory as read by Inventory Sensor . Negative numbers repre...

Random thought, more than anything I know can be done, but: If you have access to the robot's charge state (and it's not one of Bob's tier 5 fusion-powered robots), you can set the charge state to 10%, and force the robot to return to recharge. It probably still won't release the job, but it'll stay...

I don't understand what you mean by that. Can you post screenshots of the input and output? The tooltips for the input and output power poles seem like they should work well.

For others who may find this thread, diagonal connections don't count. There is containment on the two marked tiles, but not on either of their orthogonal neighbors.

You probably have something (water?) polluting your light oil pipes. Click on one of the tanks. If there's a small amount of whatever pollutant, click the trash can next to that fluid. If it's a significant amount, or if the unwanted fluid comes back, you'll have to hunt through and figure out where...

⚙︎ Combinators shouldn't require current and circuit_wire_max_distance should be 28 for all wireable entities. It should be easy to create a mod that does this, though I'm not aware of any. ⚙︎ Optional: "big lever" - the Constant Combinator may represent a big lever or at least a switch, ...

Yes, you can downgrade.

What errors are showing on the disabled mods?

Picker Blueprinter adds that feature

There's also https://github.com/Redcrafter/verilog2factorio The one time I used it, way back when, it wasn't very good at using the full capabilities of combinators, but that seems like a hard problem to solve. At a glance, FactorioScript just packs together the specific combinators you want, while ...

I wish I could group my priority mods and activate/deactivate them with one option... How are you using mods? Even if I'm going back and forth between SE, A+B, and Nullius, I set up the mods once per game, and then use the "Sync mods and load" option when I want to switch which map I'm wo...
