Hello,

I am trying to play around with the new splitter circuit functionality.
I want to make a sushi belt base for my fulgora base, where I quality recycle scrap to generate uncommon and rare products.

Due to space constraints on fulgora I want to make as compressed of a setup as possible.

#1 Here only the quality products I care about are sorted out and stored in provider chests. The rest are filtered out by 3 splitters to a destruction array. #2 Here are my ideal - if possible setup. Any gear, solid fuel or ice that is read on the belt, regardless of any quality will be filtered off using 1 splitter an circuit logic. I've tried to use a decider combinator with: Any gear, fuel, ice > 0 should generate the signal for that item of normal quality. That signal is then fed into a selector combinator set to transfer any quality to the signal, and the signal is then fed into the splitter. I've played around with the setup now for an hour or so, but I seem to be unable to impose a quality onto a signal to then generate the filtering from the splitter.
Has anyone tried anything similar?

This means you want to build a bot based setup. Bots are able to sort items in (almost) zero time with zero space.

This is for normal quality only, but you get the idea.

Unfortunately, it's not possible to attach any quality wildcard to a circuit signal. Just one direct quality only. You cannot tell the splitter to act on a wildcard, if you control its filter via circuit. Such a wildcard can only be configured statically.
