Factorio #2 Constant Combinator: Use Multiple Colors & Multiple Lights
The Constant Combinator in Factorio is a Signal Generator. It has 18 Channel Slots. Any Item can be used as a Channel (Number, letter, color, Inserter, Train, Ore & so on), any thing you can select from the Pop Up Item Selection Window.
A Channel carries a Signal. The Signal can be a Constant or Variable Value. The Constant Combinator (Constant Signal Generator (CSG)) does what it says on the box: it generates Channels with Constant Signal Values.
Channels have to be selected and then Values have to be selected. Those Values can now be sent out to other items connected to the same Color Network (Green/ Red).
Where ever there is a Network Cable that is connected to the CSG, the information from the CSG will be available to be selected as a Data Source (every Channel is a Data Source, the Value of the Channel IS the Data.
I hope this helps. Watch the video and try it. If you have trouble grab one of the blue prints below.
