counting combinators?

Ideas that are too old (too many things have changed since) and ones which won't be implemented for certain reasons or if there are obviously better suggestions.

counting combinators?

Post by Livedeath »

Hey there.
Can we have a counting combinator?
i want to count the amount of an inserter held in 10 cycles to start a program.
Currently i work with many combinators to solve this. but it uses much space.
1 combinator with a purpose for counting only would solve this problem.

Best Regards,
Livedeath

One combinator with a wire from output to input is a counter combinator. No?

Hi Livedeath,

if you want to count Items in a Inserters Hand there is a allready a built-in "1 combinator with a purpose for counting only ":
Item_Counter.jpg
Item_Counter.jpg (115.22 KiB) Viewed 2118 times


This Setup will count all the Items and display it in its Output:
Item_Counter_2.jpg
Item_Counter_2.jpg (103.91 KiB) Viewed 2118 times


So if you want to make a Suggestion for a "Counting-Combinator" there's a very good Post you might want to look at viewtopic.php?f=6&t=3394, seriously 8-)

If you have any Question on how the above Setup works and how to use this to start your Programm after 10 Cycles from an Inserter, feel free to ask :D
