EMBR gun with built-in recoil suppressor. "Pseudo-subframe" behavior due to the carefully timed circuit. Spark grey-red buttons to fire. Fire module update: double the gun, double the fun!

    "Genetically": about 50% Russian, 25% Ukrainian and 25% unknown. (Obviously my spelling and grammar is not very good. >90% of my knowledge in English is constantly maintained only by reading *nix "man" pages and other various tech documents. I'm quite embarrassed by inevitable mistakes when communicating with people rather than machines.)

    Alex what nationality are you?

    2. Whatever PSTN-driven structure you want to build there must be a "space&time gap" (at least 1 pixel&frame) between moving parts with intersecting "action zones" or you will be permanently doomed into ultra-complex all-pixel-all-vars ajustments and everlasting fear of all these "race conditions"/"particle orders"/... which ruin your work leaving no hope for finding a reliable solution. (I guess that's not what you want.)

    1. You can't "safely retract" moved particle blocks with PSTN&FRME more than once if there is a "garbage" in machine's "gaps". Of course you can try to restore structure integrity "dynamically" with CRAY and/or restrict movement by fine-tuning tmp/tmp2/etc but this is totally black magic and most likely will not survive future TPT updates (or maybe just save reloading %-) ).

    0. Look into the "Cannon" save. Did you mean that structure "on top" of this?

    if you press a button could you make it so a wifi transmitter zaps the spark to a kind of thing like this but in reverse? kinda like the recoil suppressor?

    ? (need a more detailed description of the design)

    could you make a trumpet valve like thing where you press a button and a piston goes down like that? sorry, i'm horrible at electronics.
