astroid collectors failing in cascade circuit network

Post by punchcrosser »

my goal: read the content of the astroid collector and apply a filter on needs

how i solve it: i use 3 decider combinators, connect red wire from collector to all 3 inputs of the combinators, set combinator 1 if less then 10 metallic astroids send signal "1" metallic astroid, combinator 2 for the carbon and 3 for ice, connect all 3 output with the green wire and connect green wire with collector, this works :-)

problem: when i connect collectors (red and green wires from collector to collector) together it it enables all filters :-(

maybe i am doing something wrong or its a bug

thanks in advance for reading and answering

Thanks for the report however in the current state this is not a bug. From the description it looks like you connected all asteroid collectors directly in parallel in which case content read by one collector will be seen by other collectors causing them to set filters regardless of decider combinator output.
