nakomaru Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Pictured below is the current preview build UI for the element sensor. At at glance you may notice: Output Red: All gas outputs (shouldn't this be "gas contents"?) Output Green: None This seems to imply that When the contents of the pipe has any gas in it, the output will be red. When the contents of the pipe has no gas in it, the output will be green. I hoped we would finally be able to simply detect whether the pipe contains any content or not again, but this was not the case. Apparently the interpretation is "all circumstances" are red and "no circumstances" are green. If this the intended behavior, please add an option to the list: "Any". We should be able to detect whether or not anything at all is in the pipe simply. As a bonus, maybe sort the list alphabetically? It's almost there, but Polluted Oxygen is out of place.

woodenstars Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 Can't you pair "none" with NOT-gate? I use "gold" with a not-gate for liquids and gases too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might think. But currently that just produces a permanent green signal. Gold and NOT will be the same. It won't let you differentiate between nothing and something. Only gold and anything else.

Nightinggale Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 I added a pipe mass sensor to sensory overload. It can be used for this purpose. Just set it to above 0 and it will turn green regardless of passing element and red if there is no element. It also has special code that allows you to set above 1/10/20 kg to detect full pipes. (there is also a sensor for conveyor rails in case you are wondering about the 20 kg) I agree Klei should add this to the game, but then again people on steam keep asking why my mods aren't in the game.

ruslanbes Posted July 26, 2019 Share Posted July 26, 2019 In my opinion both "None" and "Any" options should be added to all filters and gas/liquid sensors in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve8 Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 +1 I also currently have an application where I may want to detected water or polluted water, but I can only select one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
