Hello everyone, Was just looking up a farm and the thought occurred to me that while I understand how to follow semi-technical tutorials and have a basic understanding of how most/all redstone blocks work I don’t know very much about building the machinery or circuits myself from scratch.

I’ve built a 3x3 piston door from a mix of scratch & memory (seen it done in videos many times prior to trying myself but wasn’t intentionally copying any specific circuitry) and could intuit how to make a basic auto-smelter & auto-composters without having to look them up.

But I only have a vauge understanding that there are such things as quasiconnectivity and T Flip Flops. So, anyone have good resources for learning to do the engineering rather than Ikea-ing builds?

    I feel a good way to get a hang of quasi connectivity is to understand what the bug itself actually is. Some redstone components copied code from doors, meaning that the component checks if the block above is powered as well. Normally with a door, the block above would update, meaning that the bottom half of the door updates as well, and activates. However, components such as pistons don’t have a top block to update them, so they don’t activate until something else updates them. I find that thinking of quasi connectivity components as quasi doors helps to wrap my head around it.
