Yup, I was so dissapointed that combinators continue to output their "previous signal state" when they lose power, lol. it would have made my setup so simple! Right now, I'm happily using the powered-counter solution posted by Tertius. I'm still wrapping my head around the circuit network ...

Thanks for suggestions! The blueprint placement is a useful and interesting trick/work around, and I like the powered-counter idea, maybe I'll try building that

Ah, using trains is a great idea! You can access them even without a radar, and they wouldn't waste electricity like inserters do. I haven't played around with connecting train stations to the circuit network, I will try them out in the future though, thanks!

I haven't used the circuit network that much, just copying some stuff from the wiki for petroleum/oil management when needed. I have a factory with multiple power generation sources spread out over the map. One of my "game play techniques" is to sometimes turn off my entire factory to redu...

For now I'm using Factorio 0.18.34, which doesn't have this issue. Sorry if this has already been reported. Video of the i...
