@AlexisKing I may have spent 15 straight hours playing Factorio on Saturday...... I don't have a problem

Alexis King

@JamesENL It’s fine. It’s definitely fine. This is good and normal and responsible.

You could have spent that time working on DevDoodle!

Meta-xkcd: going xkcd/281 on xkcd.com expecting the delayed April 1st comic.

Alexis King

I’m personally hoping that the lack of a comic is the joke.

user315433

That'd be a cheap one, though. And was already used in xkcd.com/404

Alexis King

I just hope the excuses keep getting more and more elaborate.

JamesENL

@AlexisKing is it just me or are the way that the logic combinators work very unintuative. It took me over an hour to get it working, including 20 minutes working out which side was the input and which side was the output.

Alexis King

@JamesENL Yeah, I think they’re a little confusing. It took me a while to figure out how they worked, too. It would be nice if their graphics more clearly marked how they work.

JamesENL

Oh good it's not just me. I'm going to add in the train wagon logic mod, so I can tell if the wagon is full and shut down the inserters once it's fuil

Trying to optimise my iron ore train pipeline

Alexis King

Won’t the inserters automatically shut down once it’s full?

JamesENL

3:02 AM

I've got inserters putting iron ore into smart chests, and shutting down when there are 750 iron ore in a set of 5 chests. The problem is that the ones at the front fill up fine, but the ones towards the back don't.

Once the train pulls in, the ones at the front start loading again, because the chests are being loaded onto the train. I want the front ones to not load until the train leaves so that carriages towards the back get loaded

Alexis King

I don’t think I understand.

JamesENL

It's always hard to explain Factorio concepts.

I want the inserters to work if the amount of iron ore in the carriage and chests are less than 1500
