How to get it
At the grid: 3 silicon across the top, 2 signal cables on each side of a coil spring (the latch), 2 plastic round epoxy at the bottom: 1 memory.

Remember a count, a state, a setting; build counters and latches.
Why it exists

The same text the game shows in its progress tree and on the item's sheet (I).
How to get it
At the grid: 3 silicon across the top, 2 signal cables round a coil spring, 2 plastic round epoxy.
How it works
On the moment its Write input turns on, it copies Value and gives it back until the next write (0 at the start). Its sheet says "Holds 42". For many bytes, a Register bank.
Right-click a block to place it, facing you. Broken, it comes back whole.
