HeyGuys, my Name is Zazuno, i got arround 2000h in Factorio and i got this idea on my Stream.
When I saw that in 0.17 the ore miner can now be switched off, I had to build this circuit network.
It looks pretty dumb but if you understand the meaning behind it, it's pretty smart to use this circuit.
The more mining productivity you have, the more useful the circuit networks becomes.
And if you dismantle ore patches with robots and logistic chests, it makes even more sense.
Everyone knows it, an ore patch builds on and someone you have remnants of about 200k++ and it takes Hours to remove the leftovers. Why this circuit ?? because you have such a longer time more miner on the ore patch and thus continuously promote a constant amount ore. I'll just try to rewrite it, if one sees the ore patch as a mountain, then normal mining construction methods promote the field vertically, with the circuit network the mountain is mined horizontally, so you have at the beginning of less miners and towards the end more and more
It's actually pretty easy to set up, just build the respective Print on the ore patch, put the core circuit near, set and connect it :D.
How it works ??
- In the respective ore patch one needs nothing to adjust.
(1.5 make sure to overlap the print, and the burner inserter are just placeholder for placing the print) - Only the core circruit network need to adjust.
- Set the right ore in the 2 combinators and the speaker.
- Connect any miner with a green wire the arithmetic combinator input.
- Connect the arithmetic combinator output with a green wire with any constant combinator input (from orepatch).
- Now adjust in the arithmetic combinator the number with arround 2 times of all your miners.
Now it should work
I hope you will like it
Thank you for reading this
I apologize for my bad english
