![]() ![]() But if all three blockers retract, the block can move and trip a sensor. ![]() If one or two of the blockers retracts, nothing happens because the block still can't move. Just make a 3x1 block on a conveyer, held back by three blockers. All we need is an AND gate that takes three inputs. So, if we synchronize a 6-clock, a 10-clock, and a 14-clock, then all three will be aligned every 210 cycles. The least common multiple of 6, 10, and 14 is, conveniently for us, 210. Now you could just make a loop of conveyors 210 blocks long, but that's wasteful, and who wants to count all those? There's a better way: joining several clocks together with an AND gate. Really long clocks: Let's say you need a 210-clock. ![]() You can do that in two ways, either add a second block, or a second sensor, halfway around from the first. If you want a 3-clock, just make a 6-clock, and double its frequency. Unfortunately, it's impossible to make a loop with an odd number of blocks. (4,6,8.any even number)-clock: Just make a conveyor loop, put a block on it, and a sensor somewhere. All of them could be made smaller and/or more vertical (for smaller footprint) if necessary.ġ-clock: Easy, just put a down-sensor on the floor.Ģ-clock: Build two conveyors facing one another, and put a block on one, and a sensor by the other. Note: All the circuits here are optimized for visual clarity. An N-clock is a circuit that activates its output every N cycles. Infinifactory currently retails for $24.99 through Steam and GOG, available on Windows, Mac, and Linux.I've been playing around with circuits, mainly clocks. What it could also mean is that we might see Infinifactory creep its way onto some of those other platforms like Android and iOS since designers wouldn’t have to build the game from scratch each time, though developers haven’t made any indication that the title will be coming to other devices. So we’re probably looking at is a handful of weeks until Infinifactory drops for PS4 as Zachtronics developers go in and care of all the fine tuning for each platform. There may need to be a bit of tweaking between the platforms, but generally it cuts the time to build an actual game down for lots of platforms quite a bit. Infinifactory is built using a development software called Unity, and one of its features is that it allows designers to make their game once and then export their game as different versions for a variety of platforms, like Android, iOS, Linux, Mac, and Windows. Zachtronics founder Zach Barth revealed that the game will becoming to the PlayStation 4 “soon”, but didn’t share any details on what that could mean, whether it’ll be weeks, months, or by the end of the year. Zachtronics has decided that Infinifactory is ready for its primetime performance and has let it loose on the world. Throughout the process the publisher has taken community feedback and ideas, and integrated them into the game, including adding new mechanics, blocks, and story modules. Launched through Steam’s Early Access back in January, Infinifactory has been slowly receiving upgrades, beginning as tiny tweaks and then evolving into the much larger Infiniupdates from its developer Zachtronics, while the game was in Early Access. Infinifactory has made it through final assembly, emerging from Steam’s Early Access program after three big Infiniupdates, and will soon be heading to PlayStation 4. ![]()
