fix data store after 11 years #2986

Closed sekta2 closed 7 months ago

sekta2 commented 7 months ago

Looks like I did something wrong, well the Data Store seemed to work correctly but it had no output data.

I don't understand what you're trying to do here. What you posted is functionally equivalent (although less likely to be optimized properly by the compiler).

Does anyone know what this entity is supposed to do? Does it just store inputs and output them?

Wiki pages were luckily archived:

So from what I got from the pages, the "transferer" is just a ranger that saves its inputs into the "storer" which the transferer can read from later. Feels like something that should be in wire extras..

Either that or in the memory gates.

Vurv78 commented 7 months ago

I think memory gates already fulfill the purpose of these which is why nobody has used them after all this time.

It also feels weird to have something thats essentially just two existing components (ranger + memory gates)

If they aren't working as well, then I vote we delete them.
