Motorway 0x6

Motorway 0x6 is a six-output off-ramp from agilly1989's Motorway pack - the bus goes in, and up to six keyed values come out. It's the size you reach for when one step of your graph genuinely needs half a dozen things at once, and not a node you'll place often.

If you're new to the pack: it's a key-value data bus for ComfyUI. MotorwayStart creates the bus, on-ramps store values under string keys, and 0xN ramps pull them out. Same fewer-wires goal as rgthree's Context nodes, but as an any-typed bag keyed by string.

How it works

Identical mechanism to the rest of the family: the MOTORWAY 🚌💨 bus goes in, six _key widgets name what to pull, and ANY (A)–ANY (F) (all type *) carry the values out. The bus is cloned at every hop - snapshots, not mutations - and keys are exact strings, hashed with SHA-256. Blank keys are simply unused.

A realistic use: an img2img or upscale pass that needs model, positive, negative, latent, vae, and denoise or a controlnet reference together. That's six, and a single ramp keeps them in one visual bundle instead of three separate pulls.

Inputs and outputs that matter

• MOTORWAY 🚌💨 (required) - the bus.
• ANY_(A)_key … ANY_(F)_key (optional) - the six keys.
• Outputs: MOTORWAY 🚌💨 plus ANY (A)–ANY (F).

Installing

cd ComfyUI/custom_nodes
git clone https://github.com/agilly1989/ComfyUI_agilly1989_motorway

or ComfyUI Manager → "ComfyUI_agilly1989_motorway", then restart. No Python dependencies beyond the stdlib; no model downloads.

Where people get burned

• 'MotorwayClass' object has no attribute 'hash_' - a key isn't on the bus. Exact-match strings; a stray space is a silent killer.
• Readability, the real trap. Six outputs from one node is powerful and opaque. If a reviewer (or you, in a month) can't tell what's on each lane, split it into smaller ramps.
• Beta. The README's own header says things break because the author broke them; flows change between releases.

Honestly: 0x6 is a "when you need it" node. Most graphs do fine with 0x1, 0x2, 0x4. But when a whole pass needs a six-pack of inputs in lockstep, this is the clean way to serve it.
