One idea to let the system have more storage capacity: track the amounts of stuff in the train wagons and if anything is over a certain amount, move it out of the train car into a chest with filter inserters. Then if something is in the extra storage, and there is below X amount of it in the wagons, move that item back to the wagons with filter inserters.

@PeterZaitcev Ай бұрын

A brief suggestion on how to automate fluid inputs: 1. Make a shared fluid bus even though the game doesn't like it 2. Different fluids are connected via circuit-controlled pumps 3. The excess is dumped via another pump to one more pump which leads to storage tank 4. This tank is then deconstructed by robots via recursive blueprints mod 5. And immediately built again

@AbsoluteHuman Ай бұрын

Maybe just an array of pumps that pump the liquids to the according storage tanks?

Definitely a usefull blueprint for modded gameplay. It would need changes if intermediates are crafted in different machines or you need different fluid input so taking the unused fluid and training it away would be needed. Since new machines could be automated too it would only need circuit controlled train stations for fluids and input/output to other machines that craft the items not craftable in the assembler

I did something similar to this, but with the idea of recipe preprocessing before being thrown to a distributed array of generic crafters, my storage and my requests were also the same feed. Basically If itemsignal 0 Else, remove itemsignal, add ingredients to requests and this was cascaded to an identical circuit. I had a second set that routed the item types to the correct assember. Then each assembler had enough logic to "take" one resource request, then remove that item and pass it to the next assembler. This caused the assemblers to scale based on how many items where needed, If I had 100 assemblers, and needed 50 copper wire, 50 of the assemblers would assemble copper wire, while the other 50 did not craft. With logistics bots, this worked pretty decently, but fell apart for overly complex recipes.(It would overflow if it had to expand 20 recipies) If you adjusted your fcpu to not use a stack, but a memory register as a "table of all needed craftable items" that might do something similar, then loop over your storage input every 160 or so ticks.
