@vinchenzojackal&shoon:
It makes the logic gate wiring items free to craft.

Better explanation and description would be nice... I'm no simpleton, but I only partially understand the point of this mod.

Cool

( So this mod is a builders wet dream, Right? )

Gates ?

Say, IRL, you have a long corridor in your house with ceiling lights. You have two switches, one on each side of the corridor. Flip a switch, it's on. You get to the other side, flip the second switch, boom: it stays on. Why ?

First switch is ON, second is ON, (ON + ON = on) light still receives current, it stays ON. This sucks. It's also called an OR gate.

So, you use a logic gate. An XOR gate, in this case.

"Outputs current if any BUT NOT BOTH of the inputs are on"

So you do that. You're in the corridor, the light is off, so you flip a switch (ON xor OFF = on) get to the other end, flip the other and the light turns off (ON xor ON = off).

Now, no matter the state of the light/switches, it doesn't matter, this works. Toggle a switch, light also toggles.

We teached electrons to do maths with gates. That's how every calculator works. Basically the most useful thing

So what do you use this for exactly?
