❗
Efficient
- paints whole shape versions of quadrants before quartering them
- only crystallizes when necessary
distributes paint for crystals across layers instead of along them - manual purge (send 86 instead of a shape) for more efficient changeover
Modular - the CMAM can be converted to a MAM by removing two types of platform
- platforms are broken up by function to make changes easier
- only 10 distinct types of buildings, only 2 of which are variations on each other
Potential improvements: - automatic purge on changeover, either by understanding and rejecting ingredients, by detecting when most ingredients have been purged, or with a timer
- centralize crystal brain, reducing repeated circuitry
- feed pins in from west side since they never need paint
- add dummy car at beginning of train to make delivery platforms more compact
