A combinator for Space Exploration that reads arcosphere counts from a chest and sets a gravimetrics facility to the folding or inversion recipe that best evens them out.
Small changes concerning balance, gameplay, or graphics.
Version: 0.2.4
Date: 2026-11-11
Graphics:
- Added the mod thumbnail (red ouroboros).
Version: 0.2.3
Date: 2026-11-11
Changes:
- The combinator unlocks with Arcosphere folding again, since it has nothing to fold before then.
Version: 0.2.2
Date: 2026-11-11
Changes:
- The combinator now unlocks with the Arcosphere research (alongside the arcosphere collector) instead of Arcosphere folding.
Version: 0.2.1
Date: 2026-11-11
Bugfixes:
- Fixed the recipe flip-flopping when an inserter loaded the gravimetrics facility (for example 5 unpolarized arcospheres: 4 loaded, the chest showed 1, and the recipe switched before the craft could start).
Changes:
- Arcospheres inside machines wired to the output side (input slots, output slots and crafts in progress) now count toward the pool, so no extra wire is needed.
- A machine wired to the input side as well is trusted to report its own contents and is not counted twice.
- The balancer never changes recipe in the middle of a craft.
- A new recipe has to be chosen on two checks in a row before it is set.
Version: 0.2.0
Date: 2026-11-11
Features:
- Unpolarized arcospheres are now handled: whenever the chest holds enough for a fracture, the balancer fractures them first, then goes back to folding.
Changes:
- Requires Space Exploration 0.7.64 or newer, which added circuit connections to the gravimetrics facility.
Version: 0.1.0
Date: 2026-11-11
Major Features:
- Initial release.
- Arcosphere balancer combinator: reads arcosphere counts on its input wires and outputs the folding or inversion recipe signal that best evens them out, for a gravimetrics facility set to "Set recipe".
- Finds Space Exploration's folding and inversion recipes automatically and only picks recipes your force has researched.
- Keeps a running recipe while it still helps, and idles once the arcospheres are balanced.
- Shows the chosen recipe above the combinator in Alt mode.
Features:
- Mod settings for the update interval and the minimum imbalance before folding starts.
Compatibility:
- Survives Space Exploration spaceship launches and other entity cloning.
