Whats the use of a Computer (MB-Logic)?

[Vex]

The options are so limited, that i can't figure out for what situation they are useable!
They stuck in a stage until they conditions are "1", they should cycle to all stages.

at the moment they are at least for me complete useless?!
anyone has a hint for me, in what situation i can use them.

I built an airlock using a computer back when they still worked... I could even use the door buttons to cycle and could cancel pressurizing by pressing it again and everything + it was more than twice as fast as the airlock circuit board. it was marvelous 😁

Until they broke it of course...

EDIT: the light even switched its color from green to red during the cycle and the doors where temporarily locked ensure perfect behavior...

@Vex - sadly the logic boards for computers are still broken with no repair in sight. Back in the good old days you could use the logic board and a computer to automate your solar panels, as well as a lot of other things. Now they're best suited for sorter logic and routing. It's one of the biggest requests from the community, but Rocketwerkz has insisted that they are not going to worry about it for now. Most people have also asked that a rework of the logic chip system be put in place to minimize floor space usage if they're not going to fix the logic boards.
We must continue to hold our breath and hope for a good compromise soon.

at the moment i'm a little frustrated how to logics are setup up, so i tried computers with no success, bad for me :(

Logic computers are a quick way to set the internal settings of anything.
E.g. the I had to tweak the external pressure setting for my active vents, so setting up a temporary computer with 1 state (and the condition 'Computer - power - on') allows to assign these values directly.

@askovdk
nice idea to do at least something with this units.

they should at least can move one value between chips.
so we can use them as an interface between two Logic networks
we will see if there comes somthing useful in the future.

@Vex - I think it would be cool if we could use the logic computers to set up a logic network instead of having to use the screwdriver to set the values on the chips. Set up the chips you know you need, hook them into the pc, setup the functions you need, and BOOM!. Done. Would be even better if they used a graphical interface to let you program some stuff.

@vertigo
for me it's the chain of problems

- the space u need for the chips,
this block all other stuff in the room.
so u need to generate Space only for chips

- u can separete Logic to smaller networks but in this case,
u are unable to keep major values avaible all over the place.
and there is no solution for this problem.

- computers are setup station they have no real value
in the actual state. We can setup up a Station on mars, moon
and in space but our "computers" can't add mem A to B and write it to C.

at the moment there is only one way to do things,
and i dont like this way ;)

I use computers to set up the logic for my solar panels... so how exactly is it broken and not working? My panels do what I tell them to do with the logic mobo in the computer.

My buddy was having issues getting them to do exactly what he wanted them to do with the computer, but he was trying to add lots of states. I just use simple less then a certain solar angle, angle my panels this way, and greater then this solar angle, angle my panels this was. It worked fine for me with no issues.

I find it useless, it’s slow, limited, but it’s simple. Using logic circuits are far better.

[Vex]

@wingless berd
they are not far better, they are the only way to do it right now!
cause computers are more or less useless, in there actual state they shouldn't exist. ;)

[Captiva]

Yeah, that is what I thought when originally reading this thread, a bunch of people are mad that something doesnt work the way they want.

I bought game a week ago and the logic for computer in game now might not be amazing, but it works for basic stuff just fine. You can say they are useless all you want, but that is false.

[atom heart]

I use mine for fabricator and nothing else. Setting up solar logic is starightforward once you have placed it a few times and far more accurate. I haven't struggled without the computer, logic chips work,kind of, but for now I don't miss the computer.

[Vex]

@captiva
you are right i dont like the actual state of the computers and in MY opinion they are useless,
at the end i can do everything with logic components, and i have done this until i write this thread. ;)

U use it for solartracking, i use the 1.5 incl. min/max the get rid of the -% bug of the panels on sunset. so i think we play the game in a complete diffrent way.

i don't know u but EA means for ME testing and improving! And computers have to be improved in some way, probably not in the way i would wish but improved!

And at least what are this basic things?
and be sure u left the points which u can do with a dail and a LW.

@sooty
in my opinion they should have a field of action
in which they are far better then Logics. And in other situaltions the logic should be better so that both have the "right to exist" (don't know how to get this in english right)
