Design - Parameterised AutoCrafter *once*
Hi fellow engineers,
Edit: I did find a bug, corrected in the new blueprint V1.1 down there
I wanted to share my design of an auto crafter that requires exactly what's needed to craft an item, and to only craft it once (when you don't want to automate it or want to craft a defined amount of it, without leaving materials sitting in the chests forever (like legs, personal batteries, etc..).
After a lot of headaches because the inserter would add more than required, I ended up with a design that I further wanted to improve, in order to not craft only one item, but a parameterised number of it.
No extra materials in the requester chest, nor in the assembler.
The result :
Here's the blueprint of it if you want to use it (v1.1):
Here's how it works :
the inserter is deactivated untill all the required materials are gathered in the requester chest, then it deactivates the requester and activate the inserter.
Some of the calculators are here just for the tick delay required not to insert more and deactivate the requester chest.
Any ideas on how to improve it ?
Oh, and recette means recipe, and combien means how many it's in english now xD
