In my opinion, having logic gates such as such as AND, OR, XOR, NAND would be most important. ? AND, OR, and XOR are already part of the arithmetic combinator, you just have to normalize all true to 1 and all false to zero first (which is easy if the inputs are coming from decider combinators) You ...

My vote/opinions with full nuance: Anything that creates new bootstrap complexity should be avoid in regular mode of play. (Hard or custom setting are okay). Reasonable power draw is fine for all entities otherwise. From a player's perspective, a belt an entity, not a single square segment of the be...

I'd say making the aliens intelligent is a no-go. The genocide of native Americans is a pretty standard sci-fi metaphor, so that would make the choice seem to be "Genocide Yes/No?", which would make the current main mode of play something many people wouldn't consider choosing. As other pe...

Clock combinator A timing and counting combinator to more simply implement time based logic. What ? A combinator with three modes. All three modes accept a duration parameter (measured in ticks) with a minimum value of one. Delay mode input is relayed, unaltered, after a delay of x ticks. Any of th...
