At 23:55 the technique that you employ with the belts is a similar technique used in PCB design for timing-sensitive signals: meandering. For anyone else reading with a desktop PC, if you take a moment to closely examine the printed traces on something like your computer's motherboard, specifically between the memory sticks and the CPU, you'll find TONS of wiggly traces that go back and forth. Those are meanders and their sole purpose is to make the traces all exactly the same length so that the data signals arrive to the CPU's input buffers at _exactly_ the same time. You'll also see this in the differential pair traces on expansion cards like graphics cards and whatnot because PCI express is similarly timing-sensitive due to the extremely high bandwidth.

For filtering out many signals at once there is actually a small-ish way to do so. To achieve this we multiply the signals of each wire together. This is done as follows: Let all signals on red be "r" and all on the green line "g". Then if we compute o = (r+g)^2 (which we can since addition & pow are valid AC operations) we obtain an interesting output signal: If we were to expand it we see that we get: o = r^2 + 2rg + g^2. If we now subtract the r^2 and g^2 from o we are left with 2rg, which after dividing by 2 is a element wise multiplication of each signal. In the end, if we were to assign "roles" to the different wires, such as red carrying the data, and green carrying the signals you wish to extract (either 0 or 1), then we end up with filtered line filtering an arbritrary amount of signals with only 7 ACs in total.

@ColonelSandersLite Жыл бұрын
Written a little more succintly for clarity, this would be - RG = [(R+G)^2 - R^2 - G^2]/2 It's important to know that this is very flawed. The exponentiation will make this overflow pretty easily. The biggest number you can work with is +/-46340. In factorio terms, that's not really all that big. It's less than 6 cargo wagon loads of green circuits for instance.
@Gegellibu Жыл бұрын
@@ColonelSandersLite I'm aware of the overflow. However since we here have integer arithmatic, we are basically computing the entire thing mod 2^32, which in this case causes the overflow to occur in "both directions" e.g. when also computing the r^2 we have the same type of overflow. As I'm currently too lazy to prove the actual mathematical formulation for which numbers the above equation works I wrote a simple c++ script to just check all the possible combinations in the int32 type. This yields the smallest range of values which work to be [-1073741825, 1073741824] which is a lot larger than the estimate you've given. If intrested, the script was: ```cpp #include #include #include int main() { int32_t lower = std::numeric_limits::min(); int32_t upper = std::numeric_limits::max(); for (int32_t i = std::numeric_limits::min(); i < std::numeric_limits::max(); ++i) { int32_t a = (i + 1) * (i + 1); // (r + 1)^2 int32_t b = i * i; // r^2 int32_t c = a - b - 1; // (r + 1)^2 - r^2 - 1 = 2r int32_t d = c / 2; // r, should be equal to i if (d != i) { if (i < 0) { lower = i; } else { upper = i; break; } } } std::cout
@Gegellibu Жыл бұрын
However, I've recently also come up with a bit perfect way to extract any amount of signals, keeping the entire range of bits available (by doing a sort of vectorized AND operation) If we have our "data" signals given on the red line, and want to extract all the signals from it which are given on the green line, the "filter" line proceed as follows: 1. The filter signals you want to extract should all be set to a value of -1 (or in hex 0xffff_ffff) 2. Compute the following for both signals: a. "each" >> 1 -> "each" AND 0x5555_5555 b. "each" AND 0x5555_5555 3. Then add the results for the red and green signals on both the a. and b. branches, i.e. (red a. + green a.) and (red b. + green b.). This can be done by connecting them to the same next stage combinators. (Now if both signals have a 1 in the corresponding bit's place, it carries over to the next bit's place) 4. Extract all the carried bits: a. (red a. + green a.) -> "each" AND 0xAAAA_AAAA b. (red b. + green b.) -> "each" AND 0xAAAA_AAAA -> "each" >> 1 5. Now finally recombine the extracted carry bits by re-adding them, simply by connecting the outputs of both stages to the same line (e.g. red) The idea behind this is we extract every 2nd bit from the original integers, setting all others to 0. Then when we add the resulting numbers only if both signals were 1 in that bit's position will it carry over to the next bit position (where the carry propagation stops, as it is guaranteed to be 0). I.e. this means we have the result of the AND operation 1 bit higher. The other stuff is just for splitting it into the 2 un-interleaved values, and recombining the 2 paths lateron. (0x5 = 0b0101 and 0xA = 0b1010) What's even cooler is that this entire thing can be done in 3 game ticks, with 9 combinators iirc. As a side note: This algorithm also contains a way to do vectorized bitwise XOR, if instead of the carry bit, we look at the original bit positions.

You made this in a perfect time for me. I just got back into Factorio after about 6 months. Right now I'm working on a "smart" train dispatch computer, where any compatible train can go to any compatible station. All tracked via resource, station and train IDs. Which can also be dynamically assigned, bypassing the need to input a lot of values via constant combinators. My latest version is fully "analog" in a sense it processes each resource separately and is based on constant signals and processing of the same. The version I am working on right now has "digital" memory, task assignment and such all while keeping track of train length/config/wagons in order not to send a fluid train for an ore task or a 6 long train for a 2 wagon train task. I managed to assemble (still optimizing it) an addressable memory cell where (in a pulse) "I" signal determines the "ID" or the memory position while the rest of the signals (excluding R) get stored. On the other side you can send a pulse of Q=some_id and you recieve the signal set as a pulse on the next tick. R=some_id erases given memory position and frees ub the memory cells for new values (since we a re working with the space limit of how many memory cells are in a single module). I've already got a working POC of train dispatching with 1 frame delay. 3 trains with exactly the same schedule going to 3 identical stops (only difference is the id). From a perspective of a single train. On the same tick, the train recives the signal to go and the specific station I need the train to go to is enabled (with 1 train limit). The destination station stays enabled via latch until a train arrives. The train will "take" the single position in the station on the same tick, allowing you to send other trains via the same mechanism. The only issue I am currently trying to solve on the conceptual level is what to do about low-power states. I still need to test what happens with an electronic circuit when it works at 10% of power or if it completely loses signals if power is completely lost.

This was amazing. It's also a good insight into how Factorio processes data, which appears to be some cursed combination of digital and analog logic in a way that it keeps the most annoying components of each while somehow being even more cursed. Having to combine signal timing, additive values, and a relatively low ceiling for integer values is something I was not aware I'd have to do, seeing as I've never built anything this complex before. I have to ask if the end of the video was really when your randomizer went off, or if you had that timed to activate when you were done. I can't see you actually building this in that specific an amount of time, or being willing to accept a random explosion taking out your work-in-progress...?

Dayum, mad respect to you sir. Came here to learn a bit on Factorio logic programming, left with an insatiable thirst for mad advanced Factorio experience. I enjoyed every minutes.

To work with 16 colors, can you add 16 to every values with a constant combinator and add 16 to the "request" of every inserter ?

The biggest problem with that is you have to do more math each step of the way.

This is gonna be a video I need to watch a few times to fully absorb everything, but it will probably be more effective than the last 3 years of me trying to understand circuits.

I'm learning. The wrinkles are forming! I also enjoy that you did this with a printer instead of problems you'd see in normal gameplay. I want the tools to solve my self-imposed problems, not the 'ideal' solution. That would take the fun out of it.

Currently making a fully automated loader/unloader train stop, which is turning out to be more complex circuitry than I've done before. Your data sanitization section gave me what I needed to make it work, ty ty. Such a simple concept, ultimately, but it's hard as fuck to figure it out when you're just experimenting around with combinators.

I'm happy to see I figured out a few of the trick there by myself. I always thank that the clock was a monstrosity to do in factorio and never actually tried to use it. Thanks to prove me wrong!

Oh wow that bit packing shit is super cool. I did this by intuition on a project for a difference game, but I never realized this was a proper concept with some more actual science behind it. Definitely realized it was some form of encoding though. I went through reinventing the hardware logic 7-seg display too in that same project. All this shit is so cool seeing you do exactly what I did in a different context

You read every comment. Commendable. I'm not sure if you want to keep that up, but it's a fresh breath of air. I never got into circuits before I got bored with factorio, but your videos might change that. It being a time sink and me being a normalfag all things considered clash a bit tho. Hopefully you don't get burned out, because your videos are up there with technology connections in terms of being both very informative, highly entertaining and material one could doze off to.
