[0.16.51] Combinator Each weirdness

Post by akrasuski1 »

I was curious about edge cases in combinators, and it looks they behave very awkwardly in some circumstances. If you make an arithmetic combinator [Each] + [Chest] -> [Belt], and input [100 Ore, 10 Chest], you'll get [130 Belt] in result. I would understand either 110 or 120 (by counting chests twice), but 130 seems like a bug.

Let's ignore the belts, and try Each + Chest → Each.

You clearly want the result to be:

ore + chest → ore
chest + chest → chest

When you convert the output to one belt signal, it sums up everything for a result of: (ore + chest) + (chest + chest)

Right. Sorry for confusion in that case, combinators can be a bit nonintuitive at times...
