Redstone Upgrade

Lets redstone switch a machine on and off. Put it in one of the machine's upgrade slots. A machine takes one.

Machines that take it

• Input, Output and Two-Way item ports, thin or block.
• Access Ports, thin or block.
• The Crystal Foundry.
• The Chip Workshop.
• The Deployment Bay and the Demolition Bay.

Modes

A redstone key shows up on the machine's screen once the upgrade is in. It picks one of three:

• Ignore redstone.
• Run while powered.
• Run while unpowered.

The bays have a fourth: work once for each redstone pulse.

Good to know

• Take the upgrade out and the machine runs normally again.
• A paused machine keeps its progress. A Foundry keeps its crystal, a Workshop its half-made chips. The Workshop's critter still charges.
• A paused Access Port moves nothing to its machine or back, and crafting jobs wait for it.
• A port's mode controls both directions at once.
• All ports in the same block space get the same redstone signal. Each one follows its own mode. A port with no upgrade keeps running.
