Cycles, my nemesis.

The most efficient metal promotion is five purified iron to one refined iron, eleven amalgams to one ornament molecule. This gives us much to do all at once--every atom schedule can complete if we move both silver-gold pairs, purified iron, and refined iron into position on the glyph of Multi-Bonding at once, with no space cycle to dilly-dally with. So the iris of the glyph of purification must have direct access to the center of the glyph of Multi-bonding, and projection should be adjacent one of its other bonding tiles...we need to move from purification to projection quickly, too, so they should also be adjacent, and this is all possible in a snug geometry. Hm. The gold-silver pairs need to be created as well...I've placed this Glyph of Multi-bonding already and its moment of action is not until the very end; may as well use it for this too...thankfully I can create the first molecule as fast as the last, so the machine can simply make them in sequence instead of preparing cores ahead of time or other area-expensive nonsense; one product per machine period...oh, there's quite a lot of quicksilver being built up before the first moment it can be sunk into gold; we'd better add machinery to store the excess...

And it is done. That...required me to know what I was doing, but it was not so bad.

One product per machine period, and I can fit the entire problem in my mind at once. I've dealt with strange metal promotion before. This is...this is like Instant Mirror Coat. This is like Rate.

I can do Rate.

Let us check if we can economize these arms and tile usage...aha, yes, we can.
