This is the beginning of my supervillain arc. Upon completing Deep-Fried Rocket Propellant, I saw this puzzle. I took a quick look, realized it was a harder version, and started my cost solve.

My first solution used Triplex, Debonder, and Duplication glyphs. My next solution was 3 inputs to 1 output using the Bonder for a chain. My NEXT solution focused on secondary with by swapping to 5 inputs to 2 outputs and by using some clever geometry.

When I finally tried to submit it and just saw "1495 instructions" I damn near exploded. I could probably do an actual instruction solution, and I'm sure it'd beat 1500, but I don't even care, this is all you're getting out of me. This is a lovely puzzle and my reading comprehension doomed me, I'll never recover.
