Makes the vanilla arithmetic, decider and selector combinators take up a single tile instead of 1x2.

Features

  • 1x1 footprint for all three combinators. Nothing new to research or craft: the vanilla entities themselves are changed.
  • Drawn with their own item icons, so each type is recognisable at a glance.
  • Live operation screens. The display shows the operation the combinator is actually set to (×, ≥, MIN and so on), not just the symbol printed on the icon.
  • Proper rotation. R turns a placed combinator 90° clockwise and Shift+R turns it 90° counter-clockwise, instead of the vanilla 180° flip.
  • Clear wiring. Output wires attach to the front edge and input wires to the back edge, with red and green side by side, in every direction.
  • Works with or without Space Age.

Good to know

  • Existing saves and blueprints: vanilla 1x2 combinators are centred on a tile edge, while a 1x1 combinator is centred on a tile. Combinators already placed in a save, and blueprints made without this mod, may end up misaligned. Try it on a copy of your save first.
  • Removing the mod turns the combinators back into 1x2. In a tightly packed build they will overlap, so plan for that before uninstalling.
  • Other mods that change the graphics or shape of the vanilla combinators may conflict with this one.
