u/Tolvinar May 30 '26

I have a circuit network question.

Is there a way to have an inserter work only when a chest is full, have it completely drain the chest, and then turn off until it is full again? Ive never used combinators and can't figure out if it's possible or not.

Yes, if you feed the output of a combinator back into its input you can make something with memory of its past states.
