[0.14.21] Unable to connect signal wire to chain signal

Post by Boogieman14 »

I debated whether this should be a feature request instead, but since it's inconsistent behaviour, I think it's actually a bug or oversight :)

It doesn't appear to be possible to attach a signal wire to a chain signal. I realise with the nature of chain signals, it may not make a lot of sense to set the signal based on a condition (then again, strange ideas can lead to the most spectacular solutions ;) ), but I can think of situations where it'd be useful to be able to use the signal state for other decision processes.
I don't have OCD, I have CDO. It's the same, but with the letters in the correct order.

Thanks for the report,

However this isn't a bug, you can make a post on ideas and suggestions if you'd like.

The chain signal behavior is consistent with many other entities that cannot connect to the circuit network, and there was not any mention of it being connectible
