g [Combatibility Issue] Changing filter_count on Bulk Rail Loader inserters

4 years ago

prototypes/vanilla-changes/mandatory/improve-inserters.lua overwrites filter_count with 4.

If this is really "vanilla-changes," don't modify inserters except those provided originally in the base mod.

Hi Therax,
I leave it here because is "convenient", but yeah, we will change also modded inserters because will solve the vanilla problem with the upgrade of inserters with less filter_count than the previous.
If this cause problems with ur mods, I prefer add a patch in final fixes, or u can do it on ur own, K2 will do that modification in the data-update stage.

Would you consider not downgrading inserters by checking the current count? BRL filter inserters have 5 slots and K2 reduces that to 4.

I understand that it’s very nice for filter stack inserters to have at least as many slots as the basic filter inserters and that’s cool. How did you pick 4 since vanilla filter inserters have 5?

I choise a number, 5 seems to me more than necessary (a tile can have 4 item per time, is very difficult than a belt will have more than 4 item, mean that is a very easy got a deadlock if inserters are used to manage the belt, in that case usually people use splitters). If the problem is about remain to 5 I can consider to set 5 instead of 4, but I prefer that all inserters that can be upgraded/downgraded have the same filter_count to avoid the problem.

5 filters is helpful when transferring between chests, as in LTN-controlled inserters at train stations, where transfers happen between the cargo wagon and buffer chests. Naturally this is exactly the purpose of Bulk Rail Loaders. :)

4 is fine now that I have fixed the BRL control code.

Ok, then I will leave 4 for now
