Read robot statistics should output quality

Post by Stargateur »

TL;DR
Roboport read robot statistics circuit should output robots with quality information.

What?
I wish roboport circuit will be more a toggle between modes, either:
  • None
  • Read logistic network contents
  • Read logistic network requests
  • Read total robot statistic
    Output statistic as signal with robot signal of associate quality, no option to select signal, output roboport count as signal roboport too. (Separate signal for modded robot and roboport too)
  • Read available robot statistic
    Output statistic as signal with robot signal of associate quality, no option to select signal, output roboport count as signal roboport too. (Separate signal for modded robot and roboport too)
  • (Read construction network requests ? :D
    Output signals for missing items to build entity in the network...
    What I can dream no ?)
The modes toggle is for not having mixing signals. Only one mode can be active.

Thus that only one way to made this feature, other method could exist
Why?
There is currently no way to know if a robot in a network is normal or other quality. I wish roboport offer a way to know precisely how many robots a network have separate by quality. This can allow to have a better way to replace robot in a network with robot of better quality with more control.

Roboport Read Logistics Network Member Contents

Post by Dr Crisp Hollow »

TL;DR
Have Roboport be able to provide Logistics Network Member contents and also a way to have the RoboPort "kick" bots out of it's inventory.

What?
Have Roboport be able to provide Logistics Network Member contents specifically the Quality and amount of a given bot type.
I am thinking that it be another dedicated Letter (example B or Q for bot quality) like the the current circuit connection or another radial selector.

Why?
This would allow for users to be able to control the rate of old bot removal and new bot additions to the network.

The user would read the new signal from the roboport.

Then would apply some decider logic to look at If x bot quality is greater than target quality and also a control circuit to limit the amount of bots being added and removed.
The Overall Circuit<br />This would check if the Target quality are not = to or greater than the old bot quality<br />And also only let the inserters add when there is enough bots of the new to add to the network<br />And also looks at if old bot are greater than 0(which also controls the removal inserter's enable signal

Then set the inserter enable when there associated decider outputs a 1


The bot "kick" out function would force the bots into the member network with the rest of the in-flight bots and prevent them from just staying in the inserting "home" roboport.
