Changes
- Decider, arithmetic, and selector combinators now consume power as primary energy users and have had their energy buffer sizes increased to improve stability during low-power situations.
- Selector combinator power draw lowered from 5 kW to 1 kW, improving efficiency.
- When the “Entity tooltip delay” setting is enabled, the tooltip timer now resets when the camera or player moves, eliminating tooltip flicker while moving.
