There are always times, especially in the early game, where some degree of direct control over your factory is necessary. Maybe you're in a pinch for resources or power and need to shut some things down. Maybe you're in the middle of a biter attack and want your trains to stay safe in their stations temporarily. Whatever the use-case, this mod adds a special circuit network combinator that you can control from anywhere at any time with just a few clicks.

Here's how it works:
1) Build a Control Combinator and give it a descriptive name. You can mouse over a Combinator to see its name once you've set it.
2) Click the main Control Combinator button on the top of your screen to open the menu and see your Combinators.
3) Find your new Combinator in the list and activate it by pressing the "Activate" button, or edit its settings with the "Edit" button.
4) You can give Control Combinators a name, an optional description, a signal amount to send, and select from 10 different signals to have it send when and only when it is in the "Activated" state.
5) When you're done with them, deconstruct them normally. Note: I added the "Destroy Combinator" button for fun - you won't get your Combinator back if you press that...

I'd also like to mention that this is the first mod I've made from scratch, so please don't hesitate to let me know if you find bugs or think of cool features for the mod!

And please, if you have something urgent to say, email me at amagsmods@gmail.com!

I appreciate having threads on the mod forum so that other users can see answers & discussions publicly, but I don't get notified outside of the forum if you post on the mod forum (as far as I know). Since I don't check that regularly, my modding email is the best way to reach me if you find a serious issue.

Enjoy!
