THIS FUCKING BITCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If I don't have red circle in place, 5th gear cycle starts from the white circle. If I do have it in place, every single cycle is delayed by offset between white and red

WHAT IS THE PROBLEM OF THIS SHIT FUCKING ASS GAME

I haven't played in years, but basically every tool cycles at the same rate as the longest delay (counting total length from first to last instruction but not delay before first). By adding that instruction at the start, you are making arm 5 have the longest set of instructions and forcing the rest of the machine to sync with it.,

have you tried using that offset command (hotkey X)?

I liked that part of the plot involved buying a bunch of cheap low quality lead, converting it directly into gold and then selling it on to buy more lead for an infinite money cycle

It's exactly what a fantasy alchemist would do in that situation

Unironically filtered.
The fact you can do a two digits IQ brute force to move to the next stage is inconsequential if not a good thing. It has the best autism potential. Shenzhen IO is the midwit high floor but low ceiling game.

This is perfectly fine. It encourages you to set your own goals. If you're happy with your first iteration, good for you. And if you want to go through several iterations to steadily optimize your design, then also good for you. This way the game is fun for everyone.

Exactly. Because shouting about "filtered" means you're saying that you can beat it easily. And bragging about beating a game with no limitations easily is pathetic. You didn't even beat Spacechem

Wouldn't this be the most realistic method? One arm programmed to do it all is cheaper and space efficient.

You hijack a shipment of lead because its low value means it won't be as secured nor missed as much.

The most realistic method if you see it as an actual industrly is to have many arms doing the steps in a line, and to have many lines in parallel

they undermine the entire automation aspect by requiring you to do timed manual inputs. they don't even record your score because there's some random elements to them.

To have ChatGPT do that you'd first have to encode the rules in a way that it can produce a solution, at which point you've already manually written a puzzle solving program yourself
It's a text prediction tool, nigga, not an AI

I mean there's something of a smooth gradient between games and simulators. Zach has konctpyktop for example which is a lot more "actual processor building" than any of his later mainstream games. Or nandgame exists (non-zach).
