Selector Combinator Help Wanted.
Selector Combinator Help Wanted.
Hello, I am trying to automate the up-cycling of my old higher quality modules. To do that, I want to request all above uncommon modules of said tier, and when I have more five or more, set the recipie of the heigher tier module (of that quality) to the crafting machine. To do that, i wanted to use the selector combinator to "change" a speed module 1 to a speed module 2.
According to the description and wiki, this should be possible, but now matter what I try to input, the combinator never outputs anything. Here is a screenshot of the config and input/output. I would expect it to output an uncommon speed module 2, because I inputted an uncommon speed module.

You don't have any output with what you show because the target signal is not present in the input.
Since it keeps its orignal value, it is also not present in the ouput.
If you select as target signal "speed module tier 1 quality uncommon", the output will be the same as the input.
That is unless you add as input a positive value for "speed module tier 1 quality rare".
Because then "rare" is the highest quality amongst the level of quality for the signals to "select from".
Thus the output will be "speed module tier 1 quality rare".
With the value of the quantity of "speed module tier 1 quality uncommon" since that is the target signal and keeps its original value.
Hopefully that helps

Re: Selector Combinator Help Wanted.
In case anyone struggles with this, I found it better to think of it like this:
- Target signal is the item name it's reading in AND it's outputting. Example: It's being supplied with 1 iron plate, normal. It's going to do its work on the iron plate and normal parts. Not the qty of 1. Qty is just passed thru.
- Direct selection overrides the quality of the output. Example: Input is 1 iron plate-normal, target signal is iron plate-normal, direct selection is epic, output is 1 iron plate-epic
- Select from signal uses a SECOND signal to override the quality on the output. Input is 1 iron plate-normal and 1 copper plate-rare, select from signal is copper plate, target signal is iron plate-normal, output is 1 iron plate-rare.
