    My intent here was to be able to send requests to a set of requester chests supplied stations with a list of items needed for construction, resupply, and maybe personal long distance logistics. Although I found I can’t really arbitrarily send a train to a station via circuit signal without having all receiver stations except one be disabled.

    The easy solution to clock sync was to only have one clock. There’s some funkiness required to TX a signal during the TX’s clock cycle due to combinator timing but, I used that to my advantage on the RX side as it now only requires a single frame delay combinator to keep the signal alive 100% of the time.

    Woo! Same! I’m working on a bit packing solution ATM. Should be more UPS friendly and more resource friendly :D

    I think I was leaning into the clock method as it doesn’t have an upper/lower limit to circuit values or number of distinct circuits. Actually as I’m typing this I realized concurrent signals would have to share a 32 bit address space greatly limiting the min/max values. Two channels already limits me to 2^16-1 assuming I want a signed value.
