I've made logic to control inserters one at the time that unload science packs of one type in order to avoid overproduction. A factory to make blue science packs contains 24 such inserters because there is the known ratio between different science packs.
Now constant combinator supports up 18 channels. Is it possible to extend this number at least up to 24?
P.S. In general I consider that a constant combinator should be able to send all available virtual logic signals at the same time.

Re: Support bigger number of channels by constant combinator
You can just add a second constant combinator and connect it to the first using the same wire color as you already use for the combinator output (or both if necessary), that's basically functionally identical (the only difference is that you can't easily turn all signals on and off at exactly the same time anymore without resorting to some copy+paste fu).

Thank you for the suggestion. At least in my case it is the acceptable solution.

There is nothing here that could be considered a bug. Moved out of Bug Reports to Ideas and Suggestions
