Looking for a simple smart furnace for 0.15

Post by ps666 »

Hi,
have anyone an easy to understand and build smart furnace for copper, iron and steel? One which don't stuck because of steel. And one without this combinator BS.
Thank you very much!

Cheap solution:

0.15.7 Blueprint String
  • The top left Stack Inserter is set to input Iron Ore when Iron Plates <1000 in the Logistic Network.
  • The top right Stack Insterter is set to input Copper Ore when Copper Plates <1000 in the Logistic Network
  • The Bottom RIght Stack Inserter (the one with the red wire) is set to input Iron Plates when Steel Plates <1000 in the Logistic Network AND when Iron Plates in the Requester Chests >=10 in the Circuit Network... Also the Stack Size is obviously overriden to 10.
That Circuit Network condition should ensure that the Inserter is only working when there are at least 10 items in the chest or otherwise it would maybe lead to residuals if the Chest runs empty. The Stack Size override being set 10 ensures that the Inserter will grab 10 Plates which is divisible by 5 without leaving a remainder, meaning it will leave no residuals.

Death proof and as simple as possible.

You may change the amount of buffered items as you see fit... if you want to have more than 1000 of each item then increase the number to whatever you feel like.


Note that this setup will obviously result in uneven load balancing. If you'd want proportional load balancing there's no way around using combinators.
