No longer able to chose any of the "anything/each/everything" option on the second operand on a decider combinator

Post by The_Bros_47874 »

I've seen some old posts where a decider combinator has both of its inputs as "anything", but I can't seem to chose any of those options for the second operand, only the first one. Did the logic of them change, or is there a way to re-enable that function?

I'm playing on the latest experimental release

The graphics have since changed, but you can see both arithmetic and decider combinators with one of the "*" operands in each of the input fields

I don't see any combinator with Anything compared to Anything in that topic.

There was never an option to have anything/everything as the second operand in decider combinator. Selecting each on the right side is only ever allowed if first operand is set to each.

You might mistake the 2nd operator with the output. The output can again contain ANY/ALL/EACH wildcards.
