Circuit-Controlled Routers


Adds a belt-based router network to the game. Make a network of smart routers, connected by belts and by green circuit wires. Request items from the network, or provide items to the network, using I/O terminals connected to chests. This mod is intended to provide another logistics option for complex mods, such as Seablock, Krastorio 2, Space Exploration, Industrial Revolution 3, or Pyanodon's.

Hey, first of all, thanks for the mod!

I actually just noticed you are the same guy from https://old.reddit.com/r/factorio/comments/g29zfh/krastorio2_miniloaders_postage_stamp_base_with/
!! ( I think).

You actually inspired me to thinker with belts and circuits for some time! (poor) documentation at Discord https://discord.com/channels/139677590393716737/1365381416208306277

Now, I think the way I did my system is much much worse for UPS, but hopefully there is an idea or two that helps :)

Lol nice. Yeah Circuit-Controlled Routers are something like that internally, just with modded hidden combinators, and loaders instead of inserters. The control algorithm is different too — it's using a "heat equation" instead of doing the routing on a grid — but the overall strategy of using circuits to control the distribution is similar.
