Smart Inserters


A more modern and configurable approach at adjustable inserters to change pickup/drop position/offsets, and many more options like custom inserter length, a custom setting for ranges and diagonal, support for slim and big inserters... Enjoy!

b [DONE] Inserter "target" is not changed when settings are

(updated 1 year, 18 days ago)

As I promised, here it is.
Occasionally occurs for a non-train entities, 100% reproducibility for trains.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Place rail track with train stop
  2. Place inserter interacting with a train (wagon not there)
  3. Change inserter settings to not interact with the wagon

Expected

  • Inserter works (on a screenshot, unloads gears from chest to belt)

Actual

  • Inserter is waiting for eternity
  • Reconfiguration won't help
  • Rotation might help
  • Deconstruction and undoing will help

hum, I'm going to check this but it looks a lot like a Factorio problem, probably something with custom-vectors https://wiki.factorio.com/Special:Browse/:Prototype-2FInserter-23allow-5Fcustom-5Fvectors.

It still could be my fault I'll check.

you could rebuild or teleport an entity as a workaround

I will try as soon as I can!

Spoiler: this did not work https://lua-api.factorio.com/1.1.89/classes/LuaEntity.html#update_connections
But I figured out a way to fix it without replacing the entity, if you want to try the fix tell me on Discord

Looks like that indeed solves both issues. I cannot reproduce them any longer (on the pre-release version).

Noice, they will come out with the next update
