Combine product and quality signal

Post by badestrand »

Hi! I did my best but couldn't find anything in the forums or the wiki.

Let's say I have a "Iron Stick" signal and a "Uncommon quality" signal, is it possible to combine those two into a single "Iron Stick (uncommon)" signal?

Been a while since I tried it, but look at the new Selector Combinator and try the "quality transfer" mode.

I tried it with that but the Quality Transfer but you always need to manually provide the target signal, so in the end you need to specify "Iron Sticks" two times to make it work with the Selector Combinator.

Use the "Each" Virtual Signal for the "Target Signal" to avoid setting Items individually.

Oh yes, that works, thank you so much!

But interesting that it only works when using the "All qualities" object with a certain quality set and not any item with a certain quality set.
