Selector Combinator: Mode of Operation = Select Channel
Posted: Thu Jul 10, 2025 12:05 pm
I'm making running texts in Factorio V2 (see image) and for that purpose I could use the Selector Combinator to have an additional mode to select sorted Channels instead of sorted values:

in that mode, if I define Channels 1 .. 4 in a Constant Combinator (see image) and select Channel 2 by Selector Combinator, the Selector would output the value of the 2nd Channel (sorted by Channel name), so the output would be the value of Channel 2 = 3.
My work-around for the missing mode needs n Decider Combinators, where n is the number of Channels defined, in my case 30.
