Agricultural Tower Extended Controls
This Factorio mod adds more circuit controls for agricultural towers, namely:
- Reads the number of fully-grown plants within the range of this agricultural tower.
- Use a circuit condition to enable/disable harvesting of plants while still allowing planting.
Usage
Connect a circuit wire to an agricultural tower, and open its GUI.
Technical Characteristics
- Computations for both features are run only when necessary. Minimal per-tick logic.
- Does not scan the world for every agricultural tower, so building more agricultural towers does not make it slower.
- Circuit control settings can be configured for entity ghosts before they are built.
- Supports copy-pasting, blueprints, undoing.
- Handles other mods teleporting/cloning the agricultural tower.
- Handles when multiple players are configuring the same agricultural tower.
Todo
- Preserve settings for quick-replacements to modded towers.
- Sweep aux entities, rebuild index on configuration changed
- Fix control settings not saved in redo on entity marked for desconstruction
- Add remote interface: get/set control settings
