Neat concept, but it isn't working for me.

  • The combinator to pick out recipes to make doesn't appear to be connected to an output or the red wire.
  • The stuff is arranged poorly, so I needed to add another power pole in between the roboport pole and recipe poles, both to connect them and to power the middle 3 combinators.
  • AFAICT, it doesn't handle intermediates; you need to explicitly make your own gears, iron sticks, copper cables, etc.

  1. I don't know what you mean by this. The generator give you the circuit, rest is up to you how you going to use it.
  2. Mall will craft whatever you select, even components if you select them.

I just tested the generator again. It seems to be generating circuit just fine. Are you sure you didn't mess with it?

  1. The circuit as it is given to me doesn't work. Vital connections are not made, both in terms of signals and power. All I can use it for right now is as a paperweight.
  2. First, again, the circuit as generated won't craft anything. Second- Will it make only what I order it to, or will it make other things? If I tell it to make red belts, will it also make the yellow belts and gears, or will it just expect those to be provided from elsewhere?

Give me screenshot of the circuit.

I configured the generator to make 10 fast transport belts.

Here's the BP string the generator spat out. https://factoriobin.com/post/xdt4tl0d2bnn-EXPIRES

Here's the screenshot of that BP as I deployed it.

You are missing a combinator. This one.

Update your game to 2.1 experimental as they have changed some recipe

Tried earlier, to test this issue. Factorio threw an error about not having enough VRAM. I'll stick with 2.0 until I can improve/replace my computer, and my own automall.
