Objective
This mod allows to control the flow of items that are a carried by blt as in the logistic bots system.
It introduces a new kind of combinator: the logistic belt controller.
To use it:
- put two chests (of any kind) on map
- create a belt line between the two chests using transport belt, underground belt, splitter, linked belt
- put 2 logistic belt combinators at the beginning and at the end of the belt line with the correct orientation
- use the GUI to define the requested items in the ending chest
if the count of items in the ending chest is lower than the requested items (takeing into accound the items on the lane),
items will be sent on the line by the start combinator (from the start chest).
A constraint is that the last belt element of a belt line must be a simple transport belt to allow the belt logistic system to count the output items.
You can use the red signal to dynamically define the requested item at the starter combinator.
The ending combinator output the current requested items on the belt line.
So you can chain the request from one line to another.
No LUA is executing for items transport, all is done with built-in inserter and combinators. This is very UPS efficient,
but the drawback is an error in the counting of items (~10 items) due to the propagation of signals.
New
Now on any chest, there is a button to connect the requests from the outcoming belts to the incoming belts.
A router is a linked chest that shares its content with the neighbour router to easily change the configuration of a belt network.
The overflow mode allows to send to a belt only the items that exceeds a given threshold.
The device can connect to a chest up to a distance of two tiles.

Sushi belt
The mod contains also a new combinator to create easily sushi belt.
To create a sushi belt:
- Put a chest containing items
- Put a sushi combinator next to the chest
- create a belt line connected to the sushi controller
- in the GUI of the sushi controller, define the items to send on each lane of the belt line
Compatibility
- tested with "Ultimate belt", "Factorissimo 2 notnotmelon fork", "Bob's logistics", "Space exploration" (useful to load or unload spaceship)
