MUX and DEMUX

They exist. It's already a good thing. I don't know which players dare to use them in a No Man's Sky build : I just know they are among us !

MUX

A multiplexer, or MUX, is a digital circuit that selects one input from multiple inputs and forwards it to a single output line. It acts like a switch, controlled by additional input signals known as select lines.

Imagine a MUX as a train switchyard, where the select lines (0,1,2,3) decide which track (input, red 0 and red 1) the train (data) should travel on to reach the destination (output, red light).

DEMUX

A demultiplexer, or DEMUX, is the opposite of a multiplexer (MUX). It takes one input signal and distributes it to one of multiple outputs, based on the values of select lines. Essentially, it acts like a distributor or a data router.

Imagine a DEMUX as a funnel that channels water (input signal, 0 1 2 3) to one of several pipes (output lines, 00 01 10 11), based on the position of a valve (select lines, red 0 and red 1).
