Thanks!

Thanks for helping me again! Out of curiosity, what would happen if I had this mod and another mod on at the same time that added an 8th input to the lab? Would they conflict or would the game fix it somehow? Just curios...

Yeah, he gave you bad advice. this isn't an array, it's a table, you don't need to specifically reference each item by it's index number to add a new one, simply table.insert. Like what angel posted.
