Interesting design, but you could farily simply apply already quite a bit of compression into it. If you would merge the output signal. Since you only want to set 4 bits at WORST you kinda only need only 4-5 inputs into the ribbon. (Depending on how you would deal with the 0) So you could map (assuming the 0 does not exist): 1 -> 1, 2 -> 2, 3 -> 1, & 2, 4 -> 3, 5 -> 3& 1 6 -> 3, & 2 7 -> 3, & 2, & 1, 8 -> 4 Etc etc etc. This would allow you to compress things a lot easier especially since you can use just 1 directional gates (timed gates that are effectivly with 0 delay) to ensure this does not pollute each other. And it would reduce the size to a managable amount. In fact i just sat down for a couple minutes. Here is a functional design that does 1-9 counting. But in a 9x11 size. (Less orderly but working perfectly with 0 polution) cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/441859307198349312/853205728529743922/Basic_Counter.yaml Edit but even with some cleanup that could be compressed a bit more.
@@greezyhammer764 I bet you can easily improve my base design. Since you can build really structured. That is sadly out of my scope. I am more of a optimizer/simplifier of logic. Anyways. I really enjoy your super technical videos.
Awesome that I found you. I just got back into ONI and kind of hyped to mess with automation wires as they are basically 4bit logic circuits Not a fan of exploits, but you still give great ideas that aren't exploits as well.
wow! so thats the kind of stuff you can do with all the advanced automation in oni. played since 2017 and still hadnt found a use for half of the automation tab, i suppose i just find a way to do everything with the simpler logic gates, even if it meant a more convoluted system.
That's a really hardcore exploitation of behind the curtains mechanics! Is there anything particularly finicky you need to do to prime the counters/pipes or system?
Each counter needs 2 packets of water, fed by bridge into #9 liquid sensor. 1st packet stays in the shutoff input while 2nd packet gets detected. You can use liquid loops to time all sorts of things like doors, etc.
This is cool. If I may make a suggestion, you might wanna try building a version of this with a 4-bit control for a 7-segment clock, similar to how early digital clocks were made. Using the logic gates of a 4511 BCD (Binary coded decimal) to 7 segment display driver chip, like this: www.build-electronic-circuits.com/4000-series-integrated-circuits/ic-4511/, you may be able to make this machine more compact. Definitely love your water counter circuit, keep up the great work!
