Mods that are compatible with UsefulCombinators
Current Combinators:
- Timer Combinator; Repeatedly counts up to Reset (Outputs a signal at reset)
- Counting Combinator; Counts up by +1 signal or Counts down by -1 Signal , Resets if count is more than or equal to Reset unless Reset is zero
- Converter Combinator; Converts one signal into another without losing its value ( will add all values of same signal on same wire)
- Detector Combinator; Detects enemy units in its radius and outputs number of enemies
- Random Combinator; Outputs a random number between Lower and Upper that changes if receives Output Signal with a value of one
- Comparator Combinator; Compares two signals and outputs a third one if true or nothing if false (Removed in v0.3.0)
- Min Combinator; Outputs the smallest of its inputs
- Max Combinator; Outputs the largest of its inputs
- Railway Combinator; Outputs a signal when next to a rail and a train goes by
- Sensor Combinator; Senses nearby players and outputs number of players
- Color Combinator; If input value equals one of Color Signal values, outputs that color
- Emitter Combinator; Emits its filtered inputs over the first signal to Receiver Combinators
- Receiver Combiinator; Receives signals from Emitter Combinator
- Power Combinator; Outputs Power Network usage when placed next to a power pole or substation
- Daytime Combinator; Outputs in-game time of day in hours and minutes
- Pollution Combinator; Outputs amount of pollution at its location
- Statistic Combinator; Outputs items (filtered) production or consumption rate as items per second
- And Gate Combinator
- Nand Gate Combinator
- Nor Gate Combinator
- Not Gate Combinator
- Or Gate Combinator
- Xnor Gate Combinator
- Xor Gate Combinator
Examples uses:
- More Complex circuits

Usage Tutorial
Counting Combinator
To count items on belts:
- Place decider combinator next to belt
- Connect belt to input and set read belt to true and pulse to true
- Place Counting Combinator next to Decider Combinator
- Set Counting Combinator Reset Signal to 0 for infinite (or until lua throws an error :P) or desired number
- Set Decider condition to "Each > 0" and Output +1 signal and Output is 1
- Connect Decider output to Counting Combinator
- Watch it count!
