Wsum 1080, 76 cycles My only goal on this was to achieve pseudoperiod 8, and it is done! There's a lot left unoptimized, I procrastinated a lot because I never developed a clean way to deal with all the extra atoms flying around. This was actually my first solution, and pseudoperiod 8 is what caused me to develop the encoding I used in my scoring solve. The "Binary Coded Metal" encoding can be done in 3 parallel pipelines, each running at pseudoperiod 8. For this solution, the template atoms are really quite limiting. Having only 1 quicksilver, 1 lead, and 1 atomic fire was a big problem that really constrained the solution space. The placement of the various inputs along the "axis" between the two main pipelines felt quite forced.
