Description

Contains an Internal Memory which is assessed to check whether something should be sorted. When an item is in the Import slot Slot, the stack is checked and if result is true the thing is moved to the Export2 slot slot, otherwise it is moved to the Export slot slot. The Mode is used in how the stack is assessed, by default the mode is ALL, so every instruction in the stack would need to return true.
- Stationpedia

Logic sorter is similar in almost every way to the previous sorter but has a internal memory that can be configured with logic and bit shifting to sort items passing through. When an item enters the import slot, it is checked against the filters in memory. If the Mode is 0(All) then every filter must return true for the item to be sent to the export 2 slot. If the mode is 1(Any) then as long as one of the filters returns true, the item matches and will be sent to the export 2 slot.

Filter Instructions

Check the in game Stationpedia [F1 on your keyboard] for formatting and instruction sizes to determine how to populate the memory. Be warned that the stationpedia fails to document the endianness (bit 0 is the least significant bit). While the stationpedia does document that the Logic Sorter has 256 bytes of memory, it is addressed as 32 x 8-byte (64-bit) numbers.

If you wish your sorter to send Steel Ingots to the second output you should place the value 0xd8f8af8d_01 ( = 931885190401 decimal ) into memory 0. More complicated programs will have to consider whether they want to use Mode 0 (match All), Mode 1 (match Any), or Mode 2 (match None).

It is more readable to calculate the instructions using MIPS like this:

alias sorter d0
define steel HASH("ItemSteelIngot")
s sorter Mode 1 # Any
clr sorter # erase any stale instructions in RAM
sll r0 steel 8
or r0 r0 SorterInstruction.FilterPrefabHashEquals
put sorter 0 r0

Sorter Instruction	OP Code	Description
FilterPrefabHashEquals	1	Compares Hash of item in import slot to the set hash and returns true if equal.
FilterPrefabHashNotEquals	2	Compares Hash of item in import slot to the set hash and returns true if not equal.
FilterSortingClassCompare	3	Compares the sorting class of an object in input slot. Example would be all ores.
FilterSlotTypeCompare	4	Compares the item type of an object in the input slot. See slot type table below for item comparisons.
FilterQuantityCompare	5	Compares the stack size of the items in the import slot.
LimitNextExecutionCount	6	Ensures the next executable instruction will only return true a specified number of times. Each time it returns true, it decrements by one.

Data Slots

These are all parameters, that can be read with a Slots Reader. The outputs are listed in the order a Slots Reader's "VAR" setting cycles through them.

Number	Name	Description
0	Import	Import slot.
1	Export (reject)	Export slot.
2	Export (accept)	Export slot.
3	Data Disk	Diskslot

Name	Data Type	Description
MaxQuantity	Integer	Returns maximum stacksize.
Damage	Integer	Item durability in percent.
Class	Integer	Item class ID for slot type comparison.
SortingClass	Integer	Class group of items.
Quantity	Integer	Size of item stack.
PrefabHash	Integer	Returns ItemHash of item in slot.
Occupied	Boolean	Returns whether the slot occupied. (0 for no, 1 for yes).
OccupantHash	Integer	Returns ItemHash of item in slot.

Item Slot Classes / Types

Reading the class attribute of the input slot will give one of the following values:

Note that you can use

SlotClass.<Item>

directly in IC code instead of the numeric value

• NOTE The classes listed in this section are FilterSlotTypeCompare and NOT sorting class. eg: SortingClass.Ores vs SlotClass.Ore
