Decider Combinator - Additional output signal to "Anything"

Post by aktivb »

I have a chest connected to a Decider Combinator. Under conditions I set up OR'ed specific items > 0, serving as a filter. Under outputs, I set "Anything", and "Input Count", to output a single specific item at a time. All good. I then add a control signal "S", and set it to "Input Count" also, yet there is no "S" output signal.

Am I wrong to expect "S" with an output the same as the specific item "Anything" has selected? Is there some reason for it not doing so? My current workaround is to add an Arithmetic Combinator after, and multiply Each with 1, and set "S" as output, to get my control signal. I'd rather not have to add the extra combinator, and I'm a bit surprised that it didn't work as I expected.

"Input count" as output of a specific signal is the input value of that signal. You choose "S", the value of "S" on the input is 0 so you do not get any output for it.
