It would make that not work any more yes, but that is a very tentative thing anyway, just one wrong item in the input and they will reverse, far less robust than the splitter sorters, and it's a disruptive mechanic. What you show, is not as powerful as the splitter sorters from before, but it is indeed an example of what I meant by input patterns manifesting as artifacts in the output. I think if they want to shut down the old splitter sorters and their admittedly somewhat unintuitive behavior, they should do it completely by reintroducing the type memory, but keep it separated by lane.TheRaph wrote: But if it would work like you describe (as I understand ), the following setup may not work anymore. Do you like to output copper-iron-copper-iron on each side instead?Mimos wrote:
Imagine if that .gif were happening accidentally, you could have long lines of only iron or copper, swapping erratically.
