Step 1: Place the gates themselves. For example, to make a full-adder, you need 2 XOR, 1 OR, and 2 AND. Step 2: Plan the connections. Is your diagram simple enough to use wires or is it too complex and needs wifi to avoid intersections? Step 3a: If you are using wires, make inputs with wire - E2L Lever - logic wire. Connect these to your gates with more logic wire and ensure that each connection only touches 1 of the gate's 8 neighbors. Then, use output on one of the neighbors of the gate and connect that to something else via logic wire. Step 3b: If you need to use wifi, make your inputs first with wire - E2L Lever - Logic wire - Logic Transmitter. Choose a channel (name) for your input. Then, connect all of the gates that need those to a receiver and logic wire set to the same channel. You may also funnel the output of a gate through a logic transmitter. Step 4: Once everything is connected for the main circuitry, make your outputs with a Logic Wire - L2E Constant - Wire. Step 5: Use shock tool on your various inputs to toggle them and see if they work as expected.

what is logicates.js ur mod? like a machines mod?

mute-gold•14mo ago

logicgates.js is a mod that adds logic gates that i made

show a picture of the tutorial <:moji_despair:1079506855811891211>

um okay?

mute-gold•14mo ago

step 1: gate layout

mute-gold•14mo ago

step 2: "the plan"

mute-gold•14mo ago

step 3b: wifi

mute-gold•14mo ago

step 5: testing

i put logic wire connected to output and nothing happens when i shock it

mute-gold•14mo ago

jesus christ what is that giant block of red ok all logic gates and outputs should be 1 pixel max logic wires should idealy be 1 pixel wide at max but it doesnt matter due to my fabulous electricity system shock doesnt work on logic wires because they dont use sandboxels electricity. this is why E2L converters are needed

vicious-gold•14mo ago

update: i found out i needed wire, not logicWire for it to work

vicious-gold•14mo ago

woah it really is flawless

mute-gold•14mo ago

yep

vicious-gold•14mo ago

wifi is kinda hard to use because its hard to remember where the signal goes and if you don't use wifi you get overlap problems because the game is 2D my recomended solution: draw lines between reciever-transmitter pairs like this

vicious-gold•14mo ago

you gonna add this?

mute-gold•14mo ago

.. nah just use debug to check the channel

vicious-gold•14mo ago

or what about a feature where hovering over a transmitter/reciever shows the channel name in the bottom right corner

mute-gold•14mo ago

good idea ill make that a f e a t u r e

vicious-gold•14mo ago

is there a solution to always having to put a line of wire and then E2L button and then logic wire? its annoying to do this every time i want to send a charge

vicious-gold•14mo ago

you could add a thing where shocking a logicWire will not shock but instead will set the charge to active

mute-gold•14mo ago

i could add a logicshock tool

vicious-gold•14mo ago

or make shock switch to the behavior that logicshock would do if shocking a logic wire

mute-gold•14mo ago

(doesnt work if channel name is too long)

vicious-gold•14mo ago

is there a mod to zoom in? if there isn't you/someone else can make one so that its easier to build logic gates but make it a seperate mod (like zoomer.js or something) so you can zoom without having to have logic gates actualy...
