Description:
I had a very, very silly idea—what if you actually had to dissassemble the entire flare and put it together? Purification, unlike projection, only works with single atoms, thus the interaction.
Inputs:
Orange Flare Salt
Iron
Outputs:
Green Flare Salt
Allowed glyphs:
Multibonder, bonder, debonder, purification, equilibrium
Metrics:
Cycles > LexC > Cost
Trackless executed instructions > rate > area
Restricted instructions > cycles > area
”Trackless” means the solution will only qualify for that metric if they don’t include any tracks.
"Executed instructions" means instructions never executed before the 6th output is made are not counted. This allows solutions that would normally crash after the 6th output to loop without increasing instruction count, if needed.
In this case, "Restricted instructions" are instructions that are not grab, drop, or pivot. Period override and halt instructions are allowed. It is impossible to solve this puzzle with only those instructrions, but in a pinch, perhaps you could reduce the number of restricted instructions to 1!
This is part of a series but due to weeklies, this series won't continue until after the weeklies. Also, I won't be able to do a results stream so I'll just show the submissions list.
Please redownload puzzle and resubmit solution, now we have access to purification—sorry about that, I promise it won’t happen again (before this the puzzle file didn’t allow purification T_T)
Edit: One day before the event ends I finally realize what “showcase” means
