    EQUATION:
    signal strength = truncate(1 + ((sum of all slots' fullnesses) / (number of slots in container)) * 14)
    fullness of a slot = (number of items in slot) / (max stack size for this type of item)

  • @ethanwagner6418
    @ethanwagner6418 Před 3 lety +42

    I think I have a good explanation for the Redstone comparator equation. I included a TL;DR at the end, and I am willing to answer questions or make revisions to my explanation.
    So the fullness of each slot is measured as a percentage. The fullness of a container is measured as the average of each fullness percentage, and the fullness of the container is also a percentage.
    At a glance, one might assume they could multiply the fullness percentage by the maximum signal strength of 15 to find the output strength of a comparator reading a container. It's important to know that truncation is used in order to remove all decimal values from a number. It's nothing fancy, the numbers past the decimal point are literally just chopped off the final answer.
    It's because of truncation that if the fullness percentage was simply multiplied by max signal strength 15, there is a situation in which a nearly empty container (about 7% or less) won't register. If a container was 1% full, 1% x 15 = 0.15, and the .15 would be lost to truncation.
    Instead the equation multiplies by 14 and adds 1 to make up for not multiplying by 15. Now, it doesn't matter if fullness x 14 < 1, because 1 will always be added to the final answer before the decimal values are removed.
    TL;DR: Each increment of Redstone signal is like a box, and each box can hold only 7% or less of the container being read. The first 7% needs only one box, but the 8th percent needs another box. *So for every 7% of the container's total space being used, a single increment of Redstone signal strength is produced.*

      NoRMiEx all of it is easy for me except the chest. I messed around with all of it and it’s REALLY simple. But the conclusion I’ve come down with about the chest is that the first item you put in, it gives a 1 strength. Second item you put in, it gives another strength. Fourth stack you put in gives a strength of 3 and sixth stack you put in gives a strength of 4. Starting from the fourth stack, you have to keep on putting 2 stacks to get another strength signal

      Thanks a lot. Addition mode was a pretty clear *if/else* statement, but I was a bit confused on the subtraction mode :)

    • @ScientistCat
      @ScientistCat Před 7 lety +4

      There doesn't seem to be an "addition" mode. Normal mode doesn't add the input signal strengths; it just checks whether the secondary input signal is stronger than the main input, and if it is, the secondary input inhibits the output.

      Jome it helps to actually test it while watching the video. You learn by doing. Also this is more boring, but you can read up on all the blocks in Minecraft on the wiki. This is how Mumbo learned what the comparator was for. As for how to make complex contraptions out of them, once you understand how it works with other redstone mechanics, THEN you can start getting creative with it. Just like all redstone and just like math in real life

  • @monotone_complainy_guy3067

    These things are so useful, I've reached that point in my redstone career where now I'm not just copying everyone else's designs (always) but now I'm putting like 3 circuits together to make even crazier builds, and understanding how the random redstone bits that make up the originals work is important when in tight spaces! Also that clock and extender are so much more compact then what I just spent hours on trying to fit with old designs
