[MOD 1.1] Warehousing v0.4.0

[Tyrindor]

Any chance of you add a config option to have the warehouses auto sort? I don't really care if it adds a lag spike, it could be off by default. Finding things in a storage unit of this size is a nightmare.

Dug through the code, couldn't find any way to do this.

small question
why not use iron chests for larger warehouse recipe?
that way the smaller building (and storage) use the smaller chest?

just my two cents

[kwebber321]

any idea when this will be updated to 0.13.1???

Version for 0.13 is on mod portal.

Love your Warehouses. Figured I would share what I did with them

Using the "Smart Filter" train station setup from the Factorio Friday Blog here.

My Smart Factory module

The Red Circuit handles what will be a Requester Chest on the left & a Provider Chest on the right (With the Constant Combiner near each handling the inventory control)

The Green Circuit is split into two sections (left & right) to handle inventory control within the factory. So i set the combiner to 100 each of the assemblers output for that side & the belt on that side, and it will set the inserter filters to grab those. Once the expected number is reached the filter is removed from the inserter to suspend additional production. I had to split the network into left & right because the inserter only has 5 filter slots and it could get stuck if it tried to handle more (and issue the Red network doesn't suffer from luckily having only 1 inserter to handle)

Now to just stick this into a blueprint and start spamming it.

Wiring for those who want to reproduce it & have trouble making out the image.

Red:
Warehouse > Right Arithmetic Combiner (Each * -1 : Output Each)
Right Arithmetic Combiner > Right Constant Combiner (Set Count to be pulled into Provider Chest for Export)
Right Constant Combiner > Right Filter Inserter
Warehouse > Left Arithmetic Combiner (Each * -1 : Output Each)
Left Arithmetic Combiner > Left Constant Combiner (Set Count to be pulled from Requester Chest for Inport)
Left Constant Combiner > Left Filter Inserter

Green:
Right Constant Combiner > Right Middle Pole
Right Middle Pole > Right Upper Constant Combiner (Set Count: 100 Copper Plates + Acceptable Assembler Output Counts for Right)
Right Upper Constant Combiner > Right Upper Pole
Right Upper Pole > Nearby Assembler Exit Filter Inserters (2)
Right Upper Pole > Right Lower Pole
Right Lower Pole > Nearby Assembler Exit Filter Inserters (2)

Left Constant Combiner > Left Middle Pole
Left Middle Pole > Left Upper Constant Combiner (Set Count: 100 Iron Plates + Acceptable Assembler Output Counts for Right)
Left Upper Constant Combiner > Left Upper Pole
Left Upper Pole > Nearby Assembler Exit Filter Inserters (2)
Left Upper Pole > Left Lower Pole
Left Lower Pole > Nearby Assembler Exit Filter Inserters (2)

Are you sure you have 0.13 ?
I've been using it from release and it worked with pretty much all versions from 0.13 series.

Factorio updated to .14, whenever you get a chance, if you could update, that would be wonderful!

Thanks for the great mod.

Yes please!! I absolutely love this mod. It only makes sense to be in the game. I can't survive without it

Haven't done extensive testing yet, but if you change the "factorio version" from 13 to 14, it seems to run fine. I haven't looked yet in-depth with what's changed between 13 and 14 to see if anything needs to be changed, but until the mod is updated this seems to work okay.

[Pe334]

I have try this and it seems to work but the icons (shown with ALT) are extremly big so that you can't see the warehouse anymore.
But I don't known if this was also befor the 0.14 update.

[Nexela]

I think this was a Factorio change. The alt-icon seems to scale with the size of the placed entity

Can Confirm this.

Just edit the info.json
and change line
"factorio_version": "0.13"
to
"factorio_version": "0.14"
and it will work fine.

Well it has been running consecutively for a couple of hours on my game without worries.

[Kirito]

it dosnt work in the new up dates

[theradman221]

hi, i like your mod, i was wondering how do you make those boxes with the clickable x that brings out a box with the full licence ect? I am working on a mod and cannot figure it out.
I am talking about description on the forums not anything in the actual game.

Hello,

I've updated the mod so that you can just download it for 0.14 and it should work.
Also changed it so that the warehouses and storehouses all have the same inventory size.
Warehouses are 3x3 with 500 inventory space, which makes them more efficient than just 9 chests which are 48x9=432 inventory space. This does nerf the storage chest as it goes from 800 to 500 inventory space, but 800 inventory space is pretty ridiculous. You can change it by unzipping the mod and going into /prototypes/entity.lua and look for the inventory_size=500 variable.
Storehouses are 6x6 with 2000 inventory space, which is better than 36 chests that only hold 48*36=1728 inventory space. I just made everything the same inventory space, so Active, Passive, and Requester chests now hold ridiculous amounts of items.

Edit: Since the main author has requested to not change the slots for the warehouses, I've removed my edits of the mod.

Thanks for updating to 0.14.

The Storehouses had a lower capacity because larger chests have a higher latency time due their large amount of slots which have to be checked before insert.
So you can not easily higher this value without negative consequences.

Also just comparing the area of chests and slots is a bit lacking, because you could only use the 6x6 area with chests if you use storage chests, else inserter wont be able to reach it and basically halve the area you can place chests on

I see. I've updated the entries so that regular storehouses only have 250 slots and regular warehouses only have 800 slots, which is what they had in the 0.13 version.
Logistics storehouses have 500 slots and logistics warehouse have 2000 slots.

Eh, generally you don't have inserters in between chests used for mass storage. And it's a rough approximation on what the inventory size should be for it.

Hi Guys

I've been really buzy with real life things, and it's taken me a while to get around to things

As much as people love changing the values in the warehouses, if you make a release you want to give to people PLEASE keep the values the same
People have games which depend on the slots of the warehouses, and in some weird way the slots are well balanced to not cause too much lag for the various sizes of warehouses

this being said, please feel free to change it for your own game, but please DON'T change it for everyone just because you think it's better for you

Thanks
