In the game

How to get it

At the grid: a coil spring on top, 2 signal cables on each side of a cogwheel, 3 iron sheets at the bottom: 1 delay. Set its time on its sheet.

What it is for

Clocks (a delay and a NOT in a loop), a door that closes by itself, a pulse, a sequence of machines starting one after another.

Why it exists

Time is a signal too: with a delay, circuits can wait.

The same text the game shows in its progress tree and on the item's sheet (I).

How to get it

At the grid: a coil spring (top middle), 2 signal cables round a cogwheel, 3 iron sheets across the bottom.

How it works

It gives back what it received N turns ago, from 1 to 600 turns (0.05 s to 30 s, 0.5 s by default), engraved on it.

Ideas

A delay and a NOT in a loop make a clock.

Right-click a block to place it, facing you. Broken, it comes back whole.
