A giant +1 on this.

TBH, this isn't even a feature request. This feature already exists in the game, but for some inscrutable reason it's only exposed in some places but not others.

Maybe the title of this suggestion should be "please finish your half-completed updates to circuit networks". :lol:

It seems this feature will likely be in 2.1: viewtopic.php?p=632506#p632506

YES, separate R/G checkboxes for each input AND output function is the perfect answer IMO. It is very easy to understand, and I can't think of any setup that would not become possible.

Inputs would sometimes need to be either/or, though. For some things, like setting requests or filters, it can just add the signals together and it makes sense. But for other functions, it's probably confusing and/or unworkable to use both inputs. I'm thinking of set recipe, set stack size, enable/disable, train stop priority...probably a lot of situations actually. Hopefully not too difficult of a special case to accommodate. If not, then it wouldn't be a disaster if all inputs have to be either/or.

+1M

This should be a standard feature of at least every device that can output more than one multi-signal that can overlap others, silos - contents + requests, production machines - ingredients + contents. Basically anything that handles signals describing products.

I was brought here through searching for topics on "select input" mode of selector combinator. The Index needs to be able to take a signal from a wire if not a constant or at the very least should not be considered part of the input set.

But yes, read from wire and write to wire should be an option for many things that involve combinator/logic. :geek:

The dynamic indexing signal is excluded from the search order.

There are currently 2 modes: reading content or setting a request by logic. Please make these 2 modes work together. You need to read content to unload the resources that are inside, but also specify requests so that space platforms dynamically adjust to the needs of the planet

I haven't heard anything about confirmed features of 2.1 yet.
