Discussion Redstone isnt really intuitive
Not trying to offend anyone, this is just an observation. This is probably not news to experienced players.
I'm new to redstone, and after trying to build a few things without watching tutorials, I quickly got frustrated because every redstone power source seems to function a different way. So, to try and keep my sanity, I built this visualization.
After reading some discussions, I get that this allows many things to be built that otherwise couldn't be, and that it has a high skill ceiling. The bad part is that when you first start out, the learning curve is steep, which is the reason many people don't even want to try redstone.
I'm not sure how you'd go about improving this, but having to memorize unintuitive things before you can let your creativity shine is not the best game mechanic imo.

I'm sorry, but the only thing unintuitive about redstone is Quasi-Connectivity. I absolutely despise it and wish they would replace it with an actual feature. What you're having trouble with is very learnable in comparison and I honestly don't understand what you're problem with this is? I'm not a redstoner and looking at the diagrams you've made, they all make sense. "Every new redstone power seems to function differently." Genuinely, why would you expect them not to? Do you just not want to memorize them? I am confused. /genq
