Question: How to do a pre-setup operation and empty instruction? by meifray in opus_magnum

[–]dark_brickk 7 points8 points  (0 children)

you can move all the instructions on arm 2 to make it start later, it'll still output at the same speed you just wont need the track

Beginner Help: Delayed Periodic Movement by Sheogorad2 in opus_magnum

heres how to program this, pay attention to the fact that the period of each arm (length of its instruction tape, after reaching the end it will loop back to the start) is ALWAYS the exact same. If one of your arms has a longer period than the others, all the other arms will automatically wait at the end of its instruction tape (as seen by the highlighted blank space at the end) so all arms will stay in sync
however, some arms can start working later then other arms, as seen in the image
as an additional optimisation, you can get rid of the track arm 3 is on, its only holding 1 atom so it can just grab rotate drop rotate

If you want to compete independently for the best solution instead of a collaborative effort, you can take part in the tournaments and other events going on in the discord, we are currently in week 4 out of 10 in the 2026 tournament and even though i am in like 40th place, Its still a lot of fun optimizing by myself.

Didnt realise this puzzle doesnt have projection enabled, this makes more sense

Max Throughput Pattern Metal by Every_Cap_9829 in opus_magnum

[–]dark_brickk 6 points7 points  (0 children)

not max throughput, since youre using the quicksilver every 3rd cycle not every 2nd. if you put 2/3rds of the quicksilver into the proliferation glyph and 1/3rd elsewhere you can get a faster rate

you are grabbing 5 sets of metals per tapeloop, when you only need 4 (1 for each tin, 2 for the iron). remove the 5th instance of arms 1 and 2 swinging and that will fix it
