Window Output Combinator
A remake of the classic Window Output Combinator by dasburr for Factorio 2.1!
This combinator takes every signal on its input and outputs them one at a time, each for a set amount of time, then moves to the next one. It's perfect for cycling a filter inserter through a list of items, building rotating displays, or stepping through recipes and requests.
Features
- Cycles through all input signals, with red and green wires merged together
- Adjustable timing: set how long each signal shows, from 1 tick up to an hour
- Live counts: the output always carries the current value of the signal it's showing
- Items only toggle: skip fluids, virtual signals and everything else, so only things that can go on a belt get through. Great for filter inserters!
- Steady order: signals are sorted, so the rotation stays predictable even as inputs change
- Settings carry over with copy-paste and blueprints
How to use
- Research Circuit network to unlock it
- Wire your signals into the input side
- Click the combinator to set the ticks per signal (60 ticks = 1 second) and turn on Items only if you want it
- Wire the output side to whatever you want to feed!
Settings
- Default ticks per signal (map setting): how long newly built combinators show each signal. Default is 60 ticks (1 second).
Compatibility
- Made for Factorio 2.1
- Works with or without Space Age
- Safe to add to existing saves
