Is there any way to set the trigger element to be Theta for the direction switchers?

Is there any way to set the trigger element to be Theta for the direction switchers? - Empty asphalt roadway with yellow intermittent markings surrounded by green trees in foggy day

There are the direction switcher commands. You set them to switch if a particular element is over the sensor. Is there any way to set them to sense Theta or any of the other imaginary elements? Since they are not in the periodic table, I cannot come up with any way to select them. I was unsure if I'm missing something or if this is an added challenge with those elements.



Best Answer

A partial positive answer for ResearchNet: it's possible to have Greek sensors (and Greek annotations) in production levels, using the following workaround:

  • Go to End of the Line, the last boss level of the campaign
  • Fill a Sensor reactor with Greek sensors and/or Greek pipe annotations, as Radhil's answer shows
  • Copy said reactor to the saved reactors (EotL is the only level that has Greeks and copyable reactors)
  • Load the reactor in the desired level and duplicate sensors/annotations at will

No workaround has yet been found for research levels in ResearchNet, to my knowledge, aside from straight up savefile editing.
