Splitter prototype - Disable ability to set priorities or filter

Post by Gergely »

Way, waaaay back in the day when battles were fought between bots and belts, splitters received a shining buff in the form of priorities and a settable filter.

I request prototype support for disabling the ability of splitters to prioritize input, output or filter items. Essentially to be able to mod back in the classic, less powerful splitters.

Note 1: Making it so splitters can have any number of filters as per a prototype option would be better in line with the "filter_count" property of inserter prototypes. A reasonably detailed interface would include "supports_input_priority" "supports_output_priority" and "filter_count". For my purposes however, anything that gets back the classic behavior (no filter option, no priority options) is enough.

Note 2: Something similar could be implemented for the lane splitter prototype.

I can see how some mods could benefit from having "dumb splitters", sounds useful. Although you could do that by replacing the gui and disabling copy-pasting of settings

I would love to be able to have this as part of progression in a mod pack.
