TL;DR : make wireless optional, allow wire programming instead of events propagation.
Here is my problem and a proposal below :
dealing with wireless event propagation is a nightmare when using the factory
yes, you can use splitter but when you're printing multiple drone you pretty much have to attach every part to the splitter, that come with problems. And if you have multiple splitter it's even more difficult.
programming large logic gate using tag & key is really difficult
Proposal :
i will call the current way wireless of programming "legacy" and my proposal "new"
have a core option to switch between "legacy" and "new", with legacy enabled by default, in order to not break backward compatibility.
In other word : "make wireless optional"
in the "new" way there is no wireless propagation and no "implicit" propagation
each part have to be connected with wire, with input(s) and output(s) wires
that mean : no event, no keypress. it's all about wire directly connected to parts
It would only work in fully autonomous mode, so, maybe, add some part that detect keypress so you can wire a keypress to a gate/part in order to have it works in "manual" command.
Simple, efficient, doesn't break old build.
It would mean to develop a whole new programming system in the game, which is a pain for sure. BUT it would allow us to build much more complex stuff, even computers and cpu, just like minecraft & co.
