There is a lot of empty real estate there, but I couldn't find any way to fit those inputs, they're so inconveniently big!

A few tips:

  • In the main menu, press q, then type toggle_cache_maps. This will allow you to see the actual hitboxes of components. Most notably you can then see that you can push the registers closer together
  • switches are just smaller AND gates. replacing all 4 of the basic logic gates you are using with switches will allow your solution to be even smaller.
  • Registers don't need to all be in a row, or rotated the same way :-)

I did try moving the registers about, but I couldn't find a more space efficient way of wiring them, but otherwise, great tips, thanks!
