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

[Koub] Merged into an older thread with the same suggestion.

These are not fundamentally the same suggestions, please decouple them

Okay, they seemed pretty similar to me though.
[Koub] Resplit both suggestions.

All good. I'm asking for the ability to use conditionals inside of circuit network evaluation conditions, they were asking to be able to set the filter conditionals on inserters and splitters dynamically via passing signals.
