So I had a problem. I wanted to be able to broadcast a set of circuit signals representing a list of required items for a given outpost. The problem was that the radio only supports green and red channels leading to N>3 outputs intermixing signals.
Solution: Use a repeating clock that sends a signal only if Z={{my_chosen_channel_num}}. There’s some odd stuff going on combinator wise to keep signal values in memory while the Z timer is on a different channel. Also requires a single clock radio blueprint in order to keep receivers and transmitters in-sync with one another.
This is my first time fiddling with circuits more advanced than if X > Y inserter_enabled so if you find a way to make this better LMK
My intent here was to be able to send requests to a set of requester chests supplied stations with a list of items needed for construction, resupply, and maybe personal long distance logistics. Although I found I can’t really arbitrarily send a train to a station via circuit signal without having all receiver stations except one be disabled.
