thats actually the most ideal solution to a circuit logic that I've been cooking for months now

additional bump (it has been a week)

bump for 2.1

bumping this post in light of potential combinator reworks in 2.1

In light of version 2.1 and that an update for the arithmetic combinator is planned, I will bump this suggestion again.

this is what I get for only using one equipment (and getting unlucky) they were hiding underneath the machines... my bad lol, please move this to already implemented or something (or just delete it)

ok, to be honest I was assuming that the recycler would do the same thing, given that I tested the assembler about one hour ago in the latest version (2.0.43-3) because to me it makes no sense to have one of these fixed but not the other

EDIT just tested the recycler and I am correct, it does not ...

TL;DR
Prevent equipment loss if an item with an equipment grid (armors, vehicles) by making it impossible to use them in crafting


What?
Currently, using power armor MK2 in mech armor recipe, recycling anything with an equipment grid will permanently delete the equipment inside of the item ...

here is my take on it, including choosing output wire type

my bad I tried to search for it, but could not find it

TL;DR
Arithmetic combinators should be updated to bring them inline with what blueprint parameters can already do, and make them be able to do more at once like decider combinators can


What?
Add a field that allows for more complex equations, and allow for more outputs and equations inside of ...

TL;DR
Decider combinators should have the ability to output if a condition is false (make it an if/else instead of just an if)


What?
Better Decider Combinator (else).png

I would also like the option to choose which wire the given output would output to

Why?
This would allow for more ...

instead of making a new post, I will add on my take on this, I made a graphic

+1 and bump

TL;DR
Decider combinators should have an 'else' output, and the ordering of AND and OR should be changed
Arithmetic combinators should be able to more calculations at once
All entities should be able to choose whether they read (or emit) on the red or green wire channel

"Graphic Design is my ...

TL;DR
Add a fake tile/entity that sets whatever it intersects for deconstruction


What?
I propose that a new tile and 1x1 entity be added that can be put into blueprints that marks whatever they intersect for deconstruction but does not actually place the tile/entity

Why?
This would allow ...

+1 this would solve so many issues that I face with my designs

no biters on nauvis, hell on gleba

In theory you could test to see if items are not being inserted but are available.
