INFORMATION AGE

Beskrivelse
Make a very long chain of various metals. The basic materials are the classic ones, but the problem is to know exactly which kind of metal to put where. This information is encoded inside another very long reagent, of the same length. The number of Air atoms over each Salt atom is equal to the number of times the Lead must be transmuted.

Yes I know the information could in theory be re-encoded in the instructions, but the length makes it impractical. If tempted, imagine that this length is not 42 but 250. The puzzle is actually generated by a Python script picking random numbers. I tried with lengths greater than 42 at first, but it takes too long to run the puzzle to completion...

The discovery of the solution is inspiring and interesting, but the time to verify the solution is extremely long.

@emlun I figured out a method that just sets up for up to 5 extra atoms up top. The fact that they are air atoms makes no difference, I just make it deal with the potential 5 atoms, then discard what is left.

Very cool puzzle! I might take some inspiration from this to make something similar...

My first (successful) attempt clocks in at 480G / 4292C / 1895A but cheats a bit by discarding the reagents into an infinite chain after reading them.

@garr890354839 Think about if there's something you can do that behaves differently depending on whether there's an atom present or not.

How do you not hard-code something like this?

I got the general case down to 555/4561/424 https://i.imgur.com/r6T1emq.gifv
Then I improved it to make a tighter gif 570/4553/418 https://i.imgur.com/cU61fwL.gifv
Then I figured I could save money by ditching the obliterator and going with an infinite tail.
I saved 40g but paid for it with a huge increase in area (and huge decrease in frame rate)

@armin.rigo yeah, I found an alternative editor on github, that worked.

@FractalusRex: in general, using the "ompuzzle" web editor. In this case, it's a custom Python script that produces the puzzle file directly: https://gist.github.com/arigo/cc4c014d473e4621293094801ce67f8c

Looks interesting.

One question though, how do you get the product requirement and the reagent to be that large? The editor only allows up to a width of 9, right?

I got it 430/9628/539 for arbitrary inputs, and 175/1504/59 by cheating and hard-coding it, I love this puzzle!
