Behaviors
When not connected to a network, these act like a regular chest.
When an item is pushed, the network will locate an available storage chest and deposit the item there.
When a request is made, and there is more than one storage chest available with that item the following rules are applied
- Take item from storage chest with read/write mode.
- Take item from storage chest with read-only mode.
When a transfer request is initiated from a node, its network will be asked to provide power for that request. If the network can not provide all of the required power any remaining power is requested from a bridged network. This will continue until all bridged networks have been searched.
The amount of power required to move items from point to point depends on the number of items being moved as well as the distance those items will travel. Distance is calculated by the Manhattan distance between chunks. There is no distance cost when the source and destination are in the same, or neighboring chunks.
Required Power:
DistanceX = Abs(Source.X - Dest.X)
DistanceY = Abs(Source.Y - Dest.Y)
Neighbor = DistanceX <= 1 and DistanceY <= 1
ChunkPower = if Neighbor then 0 else ((DistanceX + DistanceY) * PowerPerChunk)
ItemPower = ItemCount * PowerPerItem
RequiredPower = ItemPower + ChunkPower
Both power-per-item and power-per-chunk are configurable.
Settings can be copy/pasted to set the filters of an Interface, or the readonly state of storage chests
Copying from an assembly machine will set the exact recipe amounts.
