− | As with other alternative logic disciplines, MPL is in many ways inferior to mechanical logic when it comes to the actual logic gates. Mechanical logic performs nearly instantaneously and requires little space. It's also a lot easier to run multiple mechanical operations off a single switch by running power through "master gears", while in MPL you have to individually connect every single device to every desired signal source | + | As with other alternative logic disciplines, MPL is in many ways inferior to mechanical logic when it comes to the actual logic gates. Mechanical logic performs nearly instantaneously and requires little space. It's also a lot easier to run multiple mechanical operations off a single switch by running power through "master gears", while in MPL you have to individually connect every single device to every desired signal source. Alternative logic types are required to generate and store signals. For counting, for repeating signals and to implement "memory", your options are fluids and minecarts, and MPL is an attractive choice here, because it requires no power. |
This is only a selection of MPL circuits i've built. They're mostly custom-made on the spot when i had the need for a circuit to perform a specific operation. Once again, they were practically applied, these are ''not'' theoretical "this should work because the logic is sound" circuits, i even built and tested the straight Set/Reset latch which could not conceivably fail. I've had too many cases of the inconceivable happening with minecarts. | This is only a selection of MPL circuits i've built.
