Shapez 2 – Transposer / 8 Lanes (Stackable) Blueprint

Transposer / 8 Lanes (Stackable)

By BlueFlame.

Performs matrix transpose on the matrix representing the shapes on a given layer. (Think omni-miner but more reliable).

Given a layer with 4 belts represented as:

Belt 1: A1 A2 A3 A4
Belt 2: B1 B2 B3 B4
Belt 3: C1 C2 C3 C4
Belt 4: D1 D2 D3 D4

The resulting shapes are:

Belt 1: A1 B1 C1 D1
Belt 2: A2 B2 C2 D2
Belt 3: A3 B3 C3 D3
Belt 4: A4 B4 C4 D4

How is this more reliable?

Since it’s pretty much doing matrix transpose in shape form it can function both ways (form pure shapes from a single jumbled shape and form any shape from 4 pure shapes). Take as an example a small omni miner.

On the same shapes the result is the same, except this one makes sure the order in which the corners are combined is the same as the order in which the belts come in. Plus, using this blueprint twice is the same as not doing anything. Whereas a small omni miner would produce a jumbled mess.

Or you could call it massively overkill for the task im using it for (turn a belt of pure shapes into a single shape).

I hope this was helpful to you!
