What the fug, I can't even, and other such exasperated memes. How do I make this with combinators? Like you have a little priority list. Okay sweet. Is that a whole series of combinators or is that all contained in one comparator with each part being contained in a "or" block? How do you set it up to send different signals one at a time if several are true? Like do you need two combinators to say "if X true -> transmit A" "if Y true - transmit B"? How do you just send one at a time if both X and Y are true? Wouldn't having both A and B being sent at the same time muddy up things downstream? Shit, man, I dont even know how to ask the right questions. You still around? Can you pull that back up in game and send me a picture of the combinator block and just one of the cominator's menu up? Anyone else have something that's sorta like this that can just snap a quick picture for me with one of the config menus open? I dont want an exhaustive explanation of every step. I just need a peek up the skirt and I can probably figure it out from there, or at least be able to ask the right questions.

Come on guys. Shouldn't you fill out your mechanics before you start optimizing? Like if you optimize now you don't really know what kind of corners you're coding yourself into.

Death Stranding 2 is the only thing I guess I'm looking forward to. I'm not pissing myself with excitement or anything, but I do like a little of Kojima's nonsense from time to time. Past that I dunno. Maybe Pragmata but I'd like to see a little more before I decide if I'm on board.

Guess I'll just keep playing Factorio until something cool happens.
