Re: Need a way to empty out pipes

My suggestion is that if two liquids are in the same pipe, they should cancel each other out. That way, whichever liquid there is more of will be the one that is left.

Reactor needs a sound

Every machine in Factorio has a unique sound; right now the reactor is silent. How about something like this? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhzdyw0rwbo

Re: Combinators,Wires and other magic, I need help :)

My first thought is you could have the inserter load into the chest and stop when the chest reaches 100 coal. Then have the second inserter start pulling them out of the chest after the train leaves.

Re: manually craft large amounts of items one at a time?

Shift-click creates a stack. So shift-click creates 50 belts. Right-click always creates 5-items (in this case, 5 belts). You are right about right-click creating 5 items, but shift-click creates the maximum amount that you have the material for. So if you're currently holding 200 iron plates and 2...

Re: Circuits: How does lamp choose color with multiple signals?

I have located the thread you mentioned and even added an additional suggestion about changing the order of the ID's -
viewtopic.php?f=6&t=28173&p=203543#p203543

Should I post that as a separate thread in the suggestions board?

Re: [0.13] Circuit set lamp color should pick highest value

As it stands, it looks like the lamp uses whichever color is furthest to the left on the signal selection screen. If we're not going to get lamps choosing colors based on signal strength, could we at least arrange the color IDs according to a spectrum that makes sense? Rather than Red-Green-Blue-Ye...

Re: Why the existing WIKI ist not properly maintained?

What is the point in putting so much time and detail in to the wiki only to have to rewrite it in a month?
Such trivialities have never stood in the way of wiki editors before. The fact is the wiki is right now not up to date, and it could be if editors were allowed in.

Re: Change chat keyboard binding....

In the key bindings, the chat key is referred to as the "Lua Console" key. Change that, and you change your chat key.

Re: Circuits: How does lamp choose color with multiple signals?

Okay, replace Black signal everywhere with "Z signal" and lamps will recieve only one color signal. This is just a my habit... I am using color signals as internal signals in various builds, and this build is not an exception. But you are right, black is not a very good choice for this bu...

Re: Circuits: How does lamp choose color with multiple signals?

I still think that if a light recieves a Blue 4 and a Green 3 it should use Blue because 4 is higher.

Re: Circuits: How does lamp choose color with multiple signals?

What is "lower ID"? Is this what determines what color is used when multiple colors are sent to the lamp?

Strange. Don't you agree that it should use the value of the signal instead?

Re: Circuits: How does lamp choose color with multiple signals?

Ok, I'm looking at the machine now, but I don't understand it.

How does it work to use * (Each) as an output? I have not messed with * yet.
And what does the black signal do?
I don't want to copy paste someone elses design without understanding how it works.

Re: Circuits: How does lamp choose color with multiple signals?

Surely it's impossible to do this with only two combinators... At the very least I would need one for every threshold I want to create for when the color changes...?

What do I do with this code?

Surely if there's only two combinators you could describe for me what they're set to?

Re: Circuits: How does lamp choose color with multiple signals?

I made a working version of my machine, but it took twice as many combinators because I had to make sure only one color signal at a time ever reached the lamp.
I still think the lamps should use whatever color signal has the highest value.

Circuits: How does lamp choose color with multiple signals?

I wanted to make a simple indicator light to show the level of material in a chest or tank. I see that the tooltip for the lamp's color option says "if multiple color signals are input, only one will be used". But which one?? I assumed it would be the one with the highest value, so I set u...
