TL;DR
When using the "input count" option for decider combinator output, apply an additional factor to the output.What?
Simply: similar to the editable constant output option add an editable factor defaulting to x 1. This multiplication factor simply applies to the output quantity when the "Input count" option is selectedWhy?
I have wished for this a number of times while trying to design circuits. Mostly I usually need to negate the input and possibly a simple negation flag is all I need. Obviously can do this with arithmetic combinator but at the moment the extra tick in the feedback is killing my design. I beleive you can already stack repeated outputs to get multiples of the input so that would cover my request, but if you are going to have to modify the UI you may as well make it slightly ergonomic.This does obviously create some overlap with the arithmatic combinator.
Why would this help?:
I find I struggle with circuit sprawl a lot. Simple tasks seem to take many combinator steps, use a lot of space and become indecipherable.
This wouldn't have a significant effect on gameplay but hopefully thats balanced by (in my uneducated take) maybe a simple implementation.
