Intro

I hope the images are self explanatory, otherwise just ask in the comments. The guide is a work in progress. New gates and descriptions will be added in the future.

The gates start at the left and end at the right. The levers are the Inputs. A Laser Power Converter is usually the output.

Basic Gates

NOT

If you don't want the bridge to go to infinity place it with a small angle and let it hit one of the other components.

AND

This one was quite difficult and can't be built as compact as other gates. While the basic power converter serves as an easy OR gate, there is nothing equivalent that could be used as an AND gate.

This bites us again later and makes Latches and FlipFlops very big and expensive.

NOR

NAND

XOR

Advanced Logic

RS-FlipFlop

This is a RS flipflop from two NOR gates.

A RS-FlipFlop safes the state you input on output Q and the invers on output "not Q". The 1 1 input state is forbidden.

@Avarice an example would be that you could have multiple switches which all activate/ deactivate an entire defense grid

using standard switched and wires you can only wire them in series meaning all switches need to be on for it to function (effectively functioning as an AND gate)

these setups would allow you to connect the switches to an XNOR which would mean any state change of any switch will toggle the grid on/off

you're basically creating something complex in game for minor quality of life improvements, but in theory people could potentially make working calculators or even computers in game with this method (providing it doesn't tank performance to much) people have done similar with logic in Minecraft and Scrap Mechanic

i am unsure the usage of such techniques, however this is quite impressive nonetheless
