Increase Constant Combinator signal count to 30

Ideas that are too old (too many things have changed since) and ones which won't be implemented for certain reasons or if there are obviously better suggestions.

Increase Constant Combinator signal count to 30

Post by ElderAxe »

TL;DR
30 signals in Constant Combinator
What ?
increase Constant Combinator signal count from 20 to 30
Why ?
When you try to set logistic requests for requester chest or buffer chest, you can set 30 signals, But 1 constant combinator can only set 20 signals. You can always add another constant combinator but then you need to make sure that the total signal count doesn't exceed 30.

With this change, there will be a 1-1 ratio between constant combinators and the requester chests. And since this item is cheap it won't break the balance of the game.

No.

And requester chest is not limited to only 30 requests: it will expand when you add requests in last row.

Really? I missed this on the changelog. Since the requests are dynamic, this suggestion makes no sense.

Thanks.
