im researching the properties and systems of the egress block. ive already figured out a cycle formation, I think im close to a breakthrough

[timber minnow]

holy shit logic system?

nand gate when

[crimson elk]

that's what im thinking

[timber minnow]

How do T-junctions react

Guh I need to try this

Give me a crafting recipe asap xD

[crimson elk]

I don't remember how i crafted them

[plush vector]

tooth block and bone

also 1 meat app. and 41 (Solid grey) essence blocks, 1 meat app. and 1 love block, 1 meat app and 2 barrier blocks

[crimson elk]

the signal splits/merges

[timber minnow]

as in if i send one in to a 3 then all 3 light up and if i send in 2 the other 2 light up?

is there any way to block signals?

[plush vector]

break the block

[crimson elk]

not really but sorta like this

[timber minnow]

interesting

[plush vector]

buffering ig?

stops 3 inputs

[crimson elk]

this technically works

agni-exploding signal blocks the other signal

[plush vector]

one time use tho...

[timber minnow]

yeah we need transistors

pusher block maybe

would be very nice

[crimson elk]

i don't think anything in the game can move blocks

[plush vector]

we got the wire but thats it, no input, no output, nothing to change it

[crimson elk]

only the player can activate it

[crimson elk]

examining cycle interactions

just realized this reminds me of this steve mould video lol https://youtu.be/SqhXQUzVMlQ

[gritty basalt]

oh my god i didnt even think of this

thats so good

we're so close to logic gates

[crimson elk]

hmm https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wireworld

[plush vector]

does it work exactly like that?

if so one way lines are peak

[crimson elk]

not really

[plush vector]

does it work at all?

[crimson elk]

the sponge works differently than the wires

it can't cancel out

[heavy sinew]

some crafting stuff about the sponges

[heavy sinew]

also a nice semi loop for some of the stuff in that||the wireframe block is just about any basic block like dirt pebble etc.||

[dusty sinew]

cool

[signal wyvern]

i made it 2 laered because light goes through 1 block. maybe you could make traffic lights with this

[crimson elk]

sponges might not be good enough by themselves, but ive discovered that shepachs+entities can do interesting stuff. here's an ""sr latch""

idk why the sheep clips through the sponges

you can use any other entity that's taller than 1 block

manikins like to chase you though so you have to stay away from the contraption if you use them

also takes a while for the output to stabilize since all mobs randomly wander around

[gritty basalt]

we really need some sort of not gate so badlyyy
