Unlocking Wires and Logic Gates early in the playthrough does not enable all the features. I didn't have enough research points to get Global Wire Transmitters at the same time.

Steps to Reproduce:
Signal Processor configured for an integer 5 -> wire segment -> Display.

Expected Behavior:
5, Bright green wire, a 5 on the Display.

Result:
red-tinted SP, dark wire, blank display.

Also tried: Button is always null no matter the toggle. Belt Reader constantly displays the spinner/throbber and never outputs a signal.

I did not test again until I bought GWT and also hit the milestone advancing to Pin Pushers. It works after that. I'm not sure if all signal generation requires the Transmitter technology unlock, or it's enabled in the milestone progression.

None of the wire upgrades require global wire transmitters

None of them worked until I bought the research or advanced into Milestone 7

I regularly have wire basics and logic gates by milestone 5 and they work perfectly, not sure what happened. If you can reproduce, a save file would be helpful

#

Is there automatic backups of save files anywhere? I don't know how to roll back my gamestate otherwise.

#

The game keeps automatic backups in the save folder

#

How do I load a backup to verify which save exhibits the bug?

strong osprey Aug 30, 2024, 12:57 PM

#

You can import backups from the Play menu, the filenames should be timestamped

And when you unpause?

abstract crow Aug 30, 2024, 1:02 PM

#

I just reloaded into it, and it's working then. I'm going to feel really stupid if the reason why the belt readers never worked was because the game was paused.

😊

#

Wires are not instant, they do take some time to propagate updates

#

That time is inconsistent right now, but I believe that's on the internal board of things to work on

PEBKAC. Thanks for the help. Sorry for wasting your time.
