Finally, put waterwheels over the channels, hung off of the axles. You *should* be able to figure out where the pumps should go, but remember to link your hatches and pressure plates BEFORE building the pumps, because you won't be able to reach them again without digging another stair. To get the water to flow, you just dig out that wall between the water wheel and the pool by digging a channel one z above it. I'm not *sure*, but you may need to put a second or third water wheel inline with the first one for this to actually provide you enough power. STILL, this setup gives you a grand total of 8 memory registers, plenty to do whatever you want with whatever devious traps you have in mind. (I use it to operate bridges over magma channels.)

The Repeater

Actually there ARE faster versions of this - that's 2 or more desynchronized repeaters. --Digger 05:33, 1 March 2008 (EST)

Can anyone else get the repeater to work without using masterpiece mechanisms in the pressure plates? I can't, so I'm assuming you need masterpiece mechanisms. Too bad I don't have a mechanic capable of that yet >_< --Sukasa 23:07, 5 April 2008 (EDT)

Re: The Memory setup.

In the current example; You can't actually build it. It took me a bit of thinking and working, but I managed to make a system that efficiently (as far as I could tell) used space to make memory switches or registers, depending on what you want to call them.

Start with:

This is one z below ground. The #'s are walls that are NOT mined out. < is Stair Up, > is Stair Down. _ is a Channel, .'s are mined out. The ~ is a Water Source, NOT infinite. Use a pool! (If it's infinite, the water flowing back down won't be able to...

While you're in the Mining mood, go down a z-level and clear out AT LEAST this one z level lower:

Note that this is the minimum required; If you're using a large pool you'll need more to make sure you don't flood your mechanism level.

Place hatches on all the channels EXCEPT the far left and far right triple channels. Place axles, gears, and Pressure Plates so you end up with:

################

Finally, put waterwheels over the channels, hung off of the axles. You *should* be able to figure out where the pumps should go, but remember to link your hatches and pressure plates BEFORE building the pumps, because you won't be able to reach them again without digging another stair. To get the water to flow, you just dig out that wall between the water wheel and the pool by digging a channel one z above it.
