How can I take only 1 item with inserter from belt despite capacity bonus?

Post by dyf123 »

Therefore, the bonus typically only applies when moving from machine/chest to machine/chest, and not from machine/chest to belt or belt to machine/chest.
The wiki says that the Inserter capacity bonus technology is not effect for the Non-Stack Inserter's catching from machine/chest to belt or belt to machine/chest, it's only 1 bonu at the past version(0.12.x).

Now I found that the capacity of Non-Stack Inserter's catching are be effected by this technology and is increase with the upgrade of the technology.

I know the new feature of Stack Inserter, but the key word is Non-Stack Inserter and from machine/chest to belt or belt to machine/chest. If the Non-Stack Inserter's capacity is increase where 's catching from belt to chest or inverse, why I does not use the Stack Inserter.

0.13.0 changed it to work as it does now.

Stack inserters and normal inserters can both move multiple items from belts/anything. They have a mixed research tree.
If you want to get ahold of me I'm almost always on Discord.

It's not broken. It's supposed to work like it does now.

It is not like that at past. Can Non-Stack Inserter check the source of thing been catched from?

I can use the Stack Inserter instead If I need to catch many items from belt or to belt.

Or just say it: How can I catch only 1 item with Non-Stack Inserter from belt?

I know that. It's good. But just answer me: How can I catch only 1 item with Non-Stack Inserter from belt? Without upgrading the goddamn Inserter capacity bonus technology?

If the Non-Stack Inserter and Stack Inserter can catch many items from belt or to belt, what different are they ?

It work but is very hacked. :cry:

I hope No hacked. And answer me: if the Non-Stack Inserter and Stack Inserter can catch many items from belt or to belt, what different are they? The feature of Stack Inserter is it can catch many items from belt or to belt, but is not for Non-Stack Inserter.

To spare some check code, then break the rule?

Forgive me that I play in chinese, but Maybe you can understand the position of what the function is.

It is helpless because my Non-Stack Inserter is controled by another signal from red line and it's different from the signal of the thing it pick from the belt.

Use (EVERYTHING < 1) as condition instead, that way the inserter will be limited to pick up one item (since it turns itself off) and it can also be turned off by another signal (say GREEN=1). You will need to isolate the inserters from each other, though.

and you don't need the constant combinator that's used in the thread DaveMcW posted. That's only really necessary for filter inserters / stack filter inserters.

If I want to turn on the inserter with the signal?
