kebman Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 This is what I want: A setup that sends freshly smelted iron and refined iron to a chest. When I take x refined iron out of the chest, it will be replaced by x more. When I take x iron out of the chest, it will be replaced by x more. Requirement: Only one rotary macerator and only one induction furnace. Nothing more. The logic should send x iron dust or iron to the furnace respectively when it's needed, and only then. And only the right amount. I want to use either the regulator or retrievulator to make it happen, but thus far I've only ended up pulling hairs out of my head.

BLAZE MkIV Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 You can use the red-power Regulator to generate a redstone signal when an chest is less than a desired amount. You can use this signal start/stop the macerating/smelting stack. It probably won't match the quantities exactly unless you make it process ore very slow.

Viktor_Berg Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 I can think up a setup to do this, but it'd be unnecessarily complicated, and also unreasonably slow. What I would suggest would be to process ALL your iron ore into iron ingots, and then create refined iron when needed using a similar, but much simpler setup, skipping the macerating process (as well as an additional step of smelting iron) altogether. Because those 2 processes would require a number of additional components to automate properly, taking up both time and space. It's a sad thing that Logistics Pipes are not in Tekkit Classic, and are not updated to 1.4.6 either... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
