Belt Filter Basics

Conveyer Filter Basics

Belt Filter Inputs

• input "NULL" or no signal input --> deactivate filter. items on the belt simply stop
  
• input "0" --> all items are sent to "bad exit" (the little red x)
  
• input "1" all items are passed through
  
• input "generated form" (signalgenerator, shapeanalyzer etc." -->normal filter function

Why are these inputtypes important?
In midgame to endgame you will automate your production more and more. The shape analyzer returns "NULL" (not "0") if a level or individual part is missing. You need these inputs so the entire production does not have to be changed manually.

orange section:

bit-filter, requires also "good" and "bad" belts.
The shapes on the belt don't matter.
Beltfilter-input only set to "always bad" or "always good"

green section: Beltstoper.

The shapes on the belt don't matter.
If the comparison fails ->Beltfilter turned off, not "always bad"

yellow section:

normal filter, requires "good" and "bad" belts

Examples:

Beltstoper

Filter + Beltclear (no signal from white receiver)

simple bypass


sorry for the terrible formatting, but I don't have the time for that today.
Hopefully there was something interesting for you :))

Hi James

no, there is no way to show what the filter detected. This displays are placed for better understanding and/or bug finding :)
if you want to know whats on your belt you need a belt reader

May I ask what purpose putting the display pieces as well as the signal emitter is? Do those merely show what the filter is "seeing" at that moment in time?

Hi Deikster

no, this screenshot is for demo. My factory works with the global transmitters and shapeanalyzer.

Is the screenshot at the end your operator badge?
