Blueprint Book: https://www.factoriocodex.com/blueprints/132
Features:
- Displays all numbers, including -2147483648 and 0
- Leading whitespace (rather than leading zeros)
- Floating sign, unless 0
- Signal icon displayed on right
- Documented combinators
- Takes full advantage of current (2.0.66) features
- Single-Panel Display: Display 1 signal with low precision, as a range bracket
* No combinators, no power required. Just 1 display panel - Display A: Display 1 signal
* Cannot display signal-0 through signal-8
* Absolute minimum combinators for a precise, full-range display
* Not suitable for signals that change dramatically every tick. If you need this, use one line from Dashboard A instead - Dashboard A: Display 2+ signals
* Cannot display signal-0 through signal-8
* O(n) growth: 1 combinator per signal displayed - Dashboard B: Display 10+ signals
* Can display any signal
* O(1) growth: 45 combinators for any number of signals displayed - Clocked Latch: Periodically latches input signals
* Can be used to reduce circuit activity when a design does not need frequent updates. Eg: Feeding signals to a number display
- Show in chart on/off
- Show explicit positive sign on/off
- New Single-Panel Display. Displays 1 signals with low precision, as a range bracket
- Display A reduced from 4 to 2 combinators and uses one less signal
- Dashboard A reduced from 3 to 1 combinator per row and uses one less signal
- Dashboard A now always displays correct values. Previously it took 1 tick for the displayed value to render correctly, making the display unsuitable for signals that greatly change in magnitude every tick, or which rapidly-flickered between displaying zero digits and non-zero digits.
- Descriptions updated. In particular, clarified that type A designs cannot display signal-0 through signal-8, while Dashboard B can
- Note that with the improvements to type A designs, Dashboard B needs to display somewhere in the realm of 40+ signals before it becomes more combinator-efficient than Dashboard A
