Can we read building input content( centrifuge etc) via circuit network?

[Entropy]

If so, how?

Thanks

filter inserters

They do not take from input part. Only output part. Only labs and assembly machines share their inputs.

I think if you use the "read hand content" flag you can make logi-circuits like this

You can't connect wire to many buildings such as centrifuge. If you can't connect, you can't read. Maybe a middle chest?

YOU can't read the actual assembler but the filter inserter will count for you...meaning you will always have a buffer in the assembly of how many items it can stack before it stops producing unless you also build a memory cell and connect it to the input filter inserter that's inserting raw mats to "starve" the factory's production.

Why have a setup like that though ?

Because two centrifuges with 40 U235 each produce twice as much U235 per minute as one centrifuge with 80 U235.

This is really only a concern when getting started up. Keep recycling your output U235 for a while and you'll build up enough reserves to keep them all full and be able to draw off a bit for your reactors. It just takes a little while.

When I put multiple koverex refinements I just put them in a loop. Put a buffer chest inbetween the centifuges that keeps 40 U235 for the next centrifuge in the loop and outputs the rest out from loop. So if you put 80 U235 in one centrifuge then once it has completed one operation it will have 40 left as the output goes to another centrifuge and thus it spreads the catalyst material optimally byitself with just a simple inserter output only when U235>40 circuits in each bufferchest. Just be careful as this scales bigger very easily and you may be tempted to make it too big and if you don't have a separate stockpile of U238 for your other processes you will very quickly turn all of it into U235.

For Kovarex Encrichment;

I probably created cheapest/efficient way possible. I put filter inserter to output and filter 235. That inserter puts 235 to a chest. Chest has two inserters that are fed by it. They are all connected each other via circuit network. One of them takes as long as CHEST CONTENT IS NOT EQUAL to 1 and the other one takes as long as CHEST CONTENT IS EQUAL to 1.. In order this method to work, you require at least non stack inserter capacity +1 upgrade
