Suggestion: Signal #1

Basically to allow the % to be picked up as a signal to use in auto-torio style factories. Possibly give it a randomized unique signal ID #. Regards, ~B

Can you give a bit more details? I'm not familiar with "signals" and "auto-torio style factories". Generating a random UUID will not be a problem i think.

Basically to allow the "% Uitlization" value of each entity to be given a unique signal ID # (possibly the one that is used by the game) so that that value can be used for stuff like conditional alerts or triggers to get other entities producing ingredients for that entity to kick in to turbo mode to get the utilization % back above the desired threshold as per circuit conditions.

@abordoli Thanks for the explanation. Sorry for not responding. As i see there is no way to include an assembling machine in a circuit? How would you use that percentage as a circuit condition? Afaik the Bottleneck mod also doesn't support this and my mod does basically the same what Bottleneck does.

Andras, No worries! I just thought I'd ask. IF, though, it could happen I could use the signal (the % uptime) in a conditional alert at the very least to let me (and/or the automated factory) know so as to do "something" (ie. boost ingredients further back, etc. in a J.I.T. "Just-in-Time" type factory set-up)Regards,Antony

It has been suggested on IRC to achieve this similar to these mods:
