Consider using the overflow behavior of smart splitters (or a Splitter Overflow Chain) to identify excess material. See the Item Sink, a Recycling Train, or, for low-volume parts, permanent storage like Not A Place Of Honor. Network Of Factories Train Network Tractors and trucks are fun, but...
I do have a smart splitter question as I messed them up previously. Say I have a manufacturer setup with 4 ingredients. 3 of which easily fit a single container and the other coming into the forth input on its own. Would I set like this. Smart splitters coming ...
There are smart splitter nodes, for example, that let you funnel resources between belts more intelligently. At their most basic, splitter nodes separate resources on a conveyor belt equally, in two or three directions, so having a machine that filters out all of one type of item is astoundin...
Two Constructors feed into a Conveyor Merger, then a Conveyor Splitter, one on top of the other, connected through a Conveyor lift. While you could criticize the lack of terrain editing, it’s central to the problem-solving appeal.Take the pipe problem from earlier. After reaching Tier 3 ...
Sounds like you could do with the last version of splitter. I have done some crazy things like that too in the past, but what I always found was that it gradually grinds to a halt, too much stuff onto a single belt. It's worth building lanes of 8 belts or ...
Thankfully fixed with smart splitters and sinks for now. But will need to fix it down the line. Just unlocked programmable splitter as I think I may need them to sort deliveries via train, as I can't see a way to tell freight platforms to only pick up one type of material. ...
Totally should be. However, I'd be looking to control that a bit better. Maybe a smart splitter that feeds the depot, with overflow going off to wherever you've got it going. Once depot is full up, then everything else will head off to the destination. ...
