Furnace Automation
Note that since this uses a
МЭ поставщик шаблонов, it is meant to integrate into your autocrafting
setup. If you just want to automate a furnace standalone, use hoppers and chests and stuff.
Automation of a
Печь is a bit more complex than automation of simpler machines like a charger.
A furnace requires input from two separate sides, and extraction from a third. The item to be smelted must be pushed in the top face,
the fuel must be pushed in a side face, and the result must be pulled out the bottom.
This could be done via a
МЭ поставщик шаблонов
on the top, an
МЭ шина экспорта on the side to constantly push in fuel, and an
Мэ шина импорта on
the bottom to import the results into the network. However, this uses 3 channels.
Here's how you can do it with just 1 channel:
Configurations
-
The
МЭ поставщик шаблонов (1) is in its default configuration, with the relevant
Шаблон обработкиs.
It is made directional by using a
Гаечный ключ из истинного кварца on it.
-
The
МЭ-интерфейс (2) is in its default configuration. -
The first
МЭ шина хранения (3) is filtered to coal, or whatever fuel you want to use. -
The second
МЭ шина хранения (4) is filtered to blacklist the fuel you're using, using an
Карта-инвертер.
How It Works
- The
МЭ поставщик шаблонов pushes the ingredients into the
МЭ-интерфейс.
(Actually, as an optimization, it pushes directly through the storage busses as if they were extensions of the provider's faces. The items never actually enter the interface.) - The interface is set to store nothing, so it tries to push the ingredients into network storage.
- The only storage on the green subnet is the
МЭ шина храненияses. The bus filtered to coal places the coal in the furnace's fuel slot through the side face.
The bus filtered to NOT coal places the items to be smelted in the top slot, through the top face. - The furnace does its furnacey thing
- The hopper pulls the results out the furnace's bottom, and places them in the provider's return slots, returning them to the main network.
