Hey all, I am mid-game, and want to know if theres a way to make it where I can limit how many stacks of each item go into a chest, not really having muhc help finding the answer online
#Limit how much items go into chests
carmine pier
copper valve
click the X and then whichever slot you want to limit it to
click the X again to remove the limit
carmine pier
click the X and then whichever slot you want to limit it to
click the X again to...
yeah but that limits all the stacks, I wanna limit specific item's stacks
copper valve
for a more versatile solution, you can connect the inserter with the chest and enable it based on a circuit condition
this way, you can have up to 8 inserters, each one with a different item+count condition
for anything more complex, you'll need proper circuitry
carmine pier
so If I try the enable/disable, i have no idea how to set it up where it would keep on insetign item x when item y gets to that condition
copper valve
actual filters of the slots only works with inventory and train wagon slots
carmine pier
because if i set it up item x>50 and item x reaches 50, it will stop inseting ALL items
copper valve
yeah, this way it's supposed to be 1 item type for that inserter
carmine pier
also im fine with messing with circuitry, I just want an actual solution to the problem
copper valve
tell me more about your problem then :)
carmine pier
so I have my factory setup as such
I want to have the purple inserters only put a certain number of stacks of items in chests
carmine pier
for sure, take your time lol
copper valve
this should do it
chest, constant combinator and arithmetic combinator input are connected.
arithmetic combinator output and filter inserter are connected, but separate from the others
constant combinator is set to output the negative amounts of what you want in the chest
arithmetic combinator multiplies by negative one on EACH and outputs the result to EACH
filter inserter is set to use circuit signals to filter slots, whitelisting (actually forgot the screenshot, you can figure it out)
I do like sushi myself, but this implementation is not very optimal. And not only the chest thingy, although that's a smart workaround.
You can play however you like though! :)

whats sushi?

It's when you put multiple item types on one belt lane.
