b BLR don't load to rail wagon with filters

4 years ago

I think, that the reason for this icreased inserter stack size. My theory - internal inserter have items but can't put in inventory.

That is correct. As with any time you are using stack inserters, you need to either use the station for only 1 kind of item, or else use circuits to stop insertion before the wagon is full so the last items in the inserter hands have somewhere to go.

You can use the Disable railloader signal to do this.

I see the problem. You actually have many kinds of items in the BRL, all of which are valid for the BRL to load. The way BRLs work is to find the first 5 item types they can load, and try to transfer those. You can see this in a message the first time a wagon parks under a BRL. Since you have more than 5 kinds of items, and you're filtering the cargo wagon for a kind of item that is not one of those 5 kinds, nothing is transferred.

You can either redesign your system so that no more than 5 kinds of items are in a single BRL, or else you can set the mod setting to transfer "any" instead of the default of "ore."

As far as I remember this setting have value "any"
In code of mode I can see that internal inserter have 5 filters. What will happen if this value will increased?

Not possible to increase beyond 5. Your save definitely is not set to “any.” You need to change that option from inside the game, not at the main menu.

Hm, really has been changed "ore". I will check if it works soon

Can you make that when BLR disable signal received resources from inserter put down to storage?

No, that is not possible, because storage might be full. I can make it destroy the contents of the inserter hand when the train leaves the station, but extra items being in the inserter hand was not the cause of the problem. The problem you experienced was that there aren’t enough filter slots in an inserter to check all the item types you had in a single BRL. And that limit cannot be increased above 5.

I test it - different (6) types of items loads but when one resource loaded others stop load. I can't now send save but do it later.
Several inserters with different filters?
Why set filters when choosen "any"?

4 years ago

When “any” is selected there are no filters. That’s why I suggest that you change the setting. Really BRLs are intended for having one kind of item inside.

"any" choosed 1 day ago

Now you're running into the problem we thought you were running into originally. The inserter hands are full of crushed stone and crushed Bobmonium, and the cargo wagon has no space for those items.

There is no good way to make a BRL work with multiple items at the same time.
