Metaselector

This mod is currently in ALPHA. Bugs, crashes, and performance issues are very possible. Beware!

Description

Metaselector adds a new combinator to the game similar to the selector combinator: it allows the engineer to interface with game metadata in various ways dictated by the mode the combinator is set in, together with circuit network inputs.

The list of modes available will be ever-expanding and requests for new modes are welcome.

How to Use

The "Metaselector Combinator" recipe is unlocked along with the regular selector combinator when you research the "Advanced Combinators" technology.

Once you have built and placed the combinator, select a Mode from the in-game dropdown list.

The Modes are self-documenting through the in-game Help text that appears in the UI.

Currently Available Modes

• Product to Ingredients - For the given machine, retrieve the ingredients needed to produce the recipe with the given main product. Similar to the "read ingredients" mode for assembling machines.

• Ingredients to Products - Given a list of available ingredients, output all main products that could be constructed by the given machine using those ingredients.
