Easier way to display signal counts?
Posted: Mon Dec 09, 2024 9:17 pm
I wanted to display the count of the items I have in my uranium chests. I thought this might be easy, but apparently it's not. So I had to come up with this rather clunky looking thing below. Is there an easier way to get this counter working?
The basic logic I did was, in reach column:
- Arithmetic: divide by base (1,10,100,1000,...)
- Then arithmetic: mod by 10
- Then display, with a digit for each input equal to 0,1,2,3...
I didn't see any kind of operation that would let me combine the first two steps, as the arithmetic operators are quite basic. There doesn't appear to be a way to get on arithmetic step to emit multiple values based on the input (so I could do a divide and carry instead). Did I miss a way to do this?
For the display, I also didn't see a way to get digits tied to the input other than using the number icons attached to specific input counts.
