GiantDwarf01 Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 Just a way to filter items onto different conveyor tracks based on the item without having to have separate loaders and tracks Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/89967-filter-for-conveyor-belts/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasuha Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 I would not object to this being a single machine. For now, you can just build a receptacle, a sweeper arm, and two or more loaders set to accept appropriate materials.

TheExceed Posted April 19, 2018 Share Posted April 19, 2018 I would like this too. But I think it would need to be more than just 2 outputs. With more resources, depending what you're doing, I think have a ton of filters would be a little ridiculous. So maybe 1 input and 5 outputs.

Kasuha Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 The thing that bugs me on arm/loader combo is that I need to power them both and they together take a lot of space. That feels a bit unfair. Why not integrate them into one - have a loader with a conveyor port and sweeper arm. If the material in reach is listed on the loading filter, the arm would just pick it into the loader storage and send it to the conveyor. If it is not in the filter list or the loader is full/blocked, it would be willing to move the material into/between surrounding containers. A filter would then consist of just one receptacle and appropriate numebr of loaders around it, It would be also great if the receptacle had greater capacity. 100 kg is just way too little. Both the sweeper arm and duplicants can carry a ton but this small capacity makes them waste power/time on transferring very small amounts. I understand the low capacity is matter of game balancing but even if it was 250 or 300 kg, it would help a lot.

Sweeper sucks it up and puts it on the line itself.
