Circuit Network Button

Post by Lupoviridae »

I know a switch is in the planning for the circuit network (with 2 positions, on and off), but what I would really love to see is a button. When pressed it emits a chosen signal for a single game tick. This would be really useful for various combinator contraptions.

-Take smart chest, hook it up to network, place inserter so that it removes items from it
-Place a single item inside.
The chest pulses, the item is automatically removed.

This works as a temporary work around, but for an established circuit network it's a lot of work. Say you want to create a word processor. You don't want to have to stick an item in a chest each time you want to "type" a letter.

For a typewriter you'd may want to request a "pressure plate" kind of device.

I think there should be all the typical minecraft input devices.
If you want to make a suggestion, feel free to incorporate other useful peripherals
