There are still potential cycles improvements, but I need to work on the weird metric so I don't know if I'll get to them. The machine can run at both 5 products per 25 cycles and 4 products per 20 cycle, the problem with 5 per 25 is that it crashes since the waste chain is not straight. This only uses the 5/25 recipe at the start and end for that reason, but mixing them in the middle may or may not save some cycles.

There are a bunch of ways to reduce area I haven't bothered with yet but should do before the deadline. Although I'm expecting carms to be a primary race
