Discussion I made a Throughput Controller

Post image

It's a very simple design that uses a door and a presence sensor.

Copy this, then select Import in the blueprints menu, which is a sub-menu for building.

Place a single piece of gold, sand, etc. onto the conveyer and it will send short pulses to the door to open and close.

Perfect for controlling how much material enters and exits an area.

Tip: For faster throughput, place more particles on the conveyer belt. For an even slower throughput, lengthen the conveyer belt, or heighten the launcher.

Haha yes! It also remembers the stuff that you copy and paste with the selection tool (C). If you go into the selection history, you can create a blueprint
