This mod is awesome for expanding your mall to auto-suppy you with items set by a logistics group!

Only bummer is, that if you pick up an item in your cursor -to build something- the uplink doesn't output the signal anymore, until you place the items back into your main inventory.

Would be awesome if the cursor slot counted towards the main inventory signals, it became an extra option in the dropdown list to read the cursor slot, or if a 'hand' signal appeared in the uplink, like the 'hand symbol' appears in the normal inventory!

the proxy container entity (the magic sauce) can only link to and/or get circuit signals from inventories on entities, the player's hand is not an inventory as far as the proxy container is concerned, perhaps i could listen to some player cursor related events and shove that into a combinator but it would be a little costly in terms of performance.

A separate combinator, that outputs what items the player is currently holding in his cursor would work aswell. Maybe with a performance warning in the tooltip, that anyone can choose if they want to use it.

How it works at the moment, it's impossible not to oversend items. It's not that big of a deal to have an extra stack of one item, but your inventory gets cluttered quite fast, when you try to send multiple items.

Wow, you're awesome! Thanks a lot! It will be the next of your amazing mods with a stable place in all my modpacks :D

The only thing i did test for is if you use both these mods together is if there's a 1 tick gap between the item vanishing from the inventory before it shows up on the handheld combinator, or the reverse where both output the same item signal for 1 tick, if you could be so kind as to test that :)

i did not test for*

They seem to toggle on exactly the same tick, if my test setup isn't flawed. The combinator also instantly fixed the oversending problem with my delivery system

excelent, thanks for checking and enjoy these 2 mods working together, and whichever other mods of me you might have in your pack <3
