Calculator Circuitry and Processing

Circuits are the fundamental building blocks for all machines. They exist in 14 different types (numbered 1-14) and progress through five distinct states.

Circuit States

1. Damaged/Dirty: Obtained by processing Cobblestone (Damaged) or Dirt (Dirty) in an Extraction Chamber.
2. Unanalysed: Created by cleaning Damaged/Dirty circuits in a Restoration or Reassembly Chamber.
3. Analysed (State B): Obtained by putting an Unanalysed circuit through an Analysing Chamber. This process also yields random bonus items.
4. Stable (State A): A rare result from the Analysing Chamber. Stable circuits are required for high-tier machines and the Calculator Locator.

The Processing Loop

To obtain usable circuits, players typically follow this path:

1. Extraction: Cobblestone -> Extraction Chamber -> Damaged Circuit
2. Restoration: Damaged Circuit -> Restoration Chamber -> Unanalysed Circuit
3. Analysis: Unanalysed Circuit -> Analysing Chamber -> Analysed Circuit + Bonus Items (Gems, Tools, etc.)
