Improved Combinator


The mod provides a custom entity which allows the user to create any number of decider & arithmetic combinators in a single entity. Improved Combinator also provides timer utilities that allow for timers to be setup which can call specific combinators at a specified time.

g High UPS usage

4 years ago

I noticed that the mod has high UPS usage.
I use several combinators to control reactors and this mod uses between 0.8 and 1.2 update time.
Is there any way to limit it?

Hi Zogi,

Yes, the mod can be quite UPS hungry. Unfortunately there is not much I can do with regards to optimizing it.

All signal conditions, timers and logic is performed on every tick inside the lua script. This very inefficient, but ultimately is required to run the combinators logic.

The fCPU mod uses a certain trick that you might be able to use as well. It creates invisible combinators that perform the checks, thus using the vanilla optimized calculator execution.
