Logic Gate Lamps



The Logic Gate Lamp is a mechanism that provides inputs for Logic Gates. Its state is toggled via a wired Switch or other triggering mechanism. The particular Logic Gate attached determines whether to activate other wired mechanisms based on the states of any attached Logic Gate Lamps.

Using a Faulty Logic Gate Lamp changes how the Logic Gate works entirely, triggering the gate randomly based on the number of other active Lamps. It overrides the logic of the actual logic gate (which turns blue), so all gate behaves the same with a Faulty Lamp. You cannot place Logic Gate Lamps on top of a Faulty Logic Gate Lamp. A Faulty Lamp doesn't switch on or off, and behaves simply as a trigger. The number of other active Lamps under it determine the chance that the logic gate will emit a signal when the Faulty Lamp is triggered. Switching the states of the other Lamps never emits a signal when a Faulty Lamp is in use.

Using a Faulty Lamp with a single other Logic Game Lamp eliminates the randomness aspect. It instead acts as an "if" statement. If the lamp under the Faulty Lamp is on when the Faulty Lamp is triggered, the Logic Gate emits a signal. If not, no signal is emitted.

The Logic Gate Lamps, along with the Logic Gates, are bought from the Steampunker.
