Jones813 Posted January 11, 2017 Share Posted January 11, 2017 (edited) It's super annoying having to set up entirely separate power systems to be able to control multiple devices. What I'm looking for is a mod that makes it so that a terminal only affects devices that are farther down the line of power from it, things that get their power through the terminal itself. I made a crude paint picture to illustrate what I mean. Does anyone know of such a mod? I've been searching but unable to find one yet.

IRUseDrug Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 If you have Advanced Settlement Power, use an AND gate. connect the switch to one of the inputs, and a logic constant of true to the other input. if switch is off both termianls won't get power. if it's on: the terminals can only modify the objects down the line from it as you have shown. use a normally open or closed relay if you want to pass on more power than what the AND gates themselves would have outputted.

Not sure if it'd just make things worse or better for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take a screenshot for you. sadly I have to report the game ends up only allowing one terminal to edit one specific object down its own line. the other decides it can do nothing Edited January 12, 2017 by IRUseDrug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacefiddle Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 The last time I tried, a terminal affected EVERYTHING on the circuit that was physically connected. It doesn't care a whit if there are any open switches along the way. Believe me, I tried, and wound up manually moving cut-out wires around while I adjusted about a dozen different components. Even with a switch in the OFF position between the terminal and a configurable component, that component would be changed by any terminal settings I applied. >.< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IRUseDrug Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 (edited) yeah you have to use totally different lines with separate generators for separate terminal control. too bad. Edited January 12, 2017 by IRUseDrug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to be able to to connect everything to a master power switch and have the terminals control different devices separately like in my picture but the vanilla game just doesn't work that way. I do have all the DLC so maybe I can make something work with the logic gates. Some of those still confuse me.
