It was kind of my suppliers to provide a three-hex version of the Glyph of Disposal! I jest, but it was useful to use the Glyph of Purification as both a metal-concentrator and as a deep storage locker for the later stages of assembly.

I found only two layouts for the ambitious goal of 24. The first provided an ample carpet of glyphs and communication between pistons, excellent in all respects, with breezy cycles. But this layout was a phantom, a taunt. It does not allow the final stages of assembling the output to pass through the Glyph of Bedonding.

The other layout was this one, cantankerous, but with a single delicate two-armed operation that allows extracting the half-formed product from its bonding site without getting debonded; see cycle 541.

I'd rather not say how many hours I spent poring over the instruction tape to cut cycles. Suffice to say I started with ~11,000 cycles and ended with ~6,800. This may not be my opus magnum, but I hope you are pleased.

I ran out of quicksilver proxies, as it happens. Some of these are hand-painted. I had to make do.
