Ability to send quality signals for "set filter"

Post by fi5hii »

TL;DR
Allow us to send the quality signals to set filters like you're able to do it manually.
What?
Allowing us to send a signal for the quality with the ability to add operators to the same signal so we can apply the same logic to inserters and filters as we can manually
here's an example of what I mean:

A different way this could function is sending just the quality signals you want if it's not too difficult to code and the operators would be applied automatically

Why?
Since not only inserters have set filters but now also splitters it would be very useful to set it with combinators and not just manually.
And on top of that all the quality signals and operator signals are already in game so it would be a nice addition to the use of those since it's one of the things I first tried to do with just the quality signal but it didn't work.

Allow quality range conditions in circuit conditional GUIs

Post by protocol_1903 »

TL;DR
Allow the quality range setting seen on inserter and splitter filters to be used in circuit control GUIs, like decider and arithmetic combinators, enable/disable circuit settings, etc.

What?
I would like to use the :any-quality:, >, <, =, >=, <=, ~= quality evaluators inside of signal evaluation conditions like those found in combinators. GUI example:

Why?
I want to be able to evaluate multiple qualitied signals simultaneously. While I can do this using selector combinators, having 'inline' per se support would make certain operations a lot cleaner, and it would help some composite entities I'm designing that need to deal with quality in very specific ways

These are not fundamentally the same suggestions, please decouple them
