A combinator that reads the status of the machine it faces and outputs it as a signal: W working, I input-starved, O output blocked, P power problem, X anything else. Like Bottleneck Lite, but for the circuit network.
Providing the player with new tools or adjusting the game interface, without fundamentally changing gameplay.
