I've started to experiment with LITH-based calculation devices, made a variable storage system and a setup to add values from two LITH variables.

    Yeah sure, I'm just promoting my new developments

    @OrthogonalCaster Again, I agree with that subframing isn't super useful for the adding/storage functionality. It is useful when a build has to actually *count* the number of sparks stored in LITH because it's 8x faster which means a lot less waiting time.

    No subframe needed!

    And I made a contraption to store values higher than 99 in two LITH pixels, with very quick multiplication/division. id:2996674

    @JeantheFox I already subframed it but people don't notice :) id:2996133

    @Furry_02 sure but these new discovery they can find a way to subframe and compact the idea

    I agree with @OrthogonalCaster that subframe shouldn't be a goal in itself, I only use it if I really need the speed. I think subframing is useful here to convert from LITH based tech to FILT/ARAY based tech where the 8x speed increase really makes a difference. LITH based tech is useful as a buffer, you can use a LITH-based adder to collect and temporarily store signals comming from different sources simultaniously.

    Do not automatically discount anything not subframe based, not everything has to run at ludicrous speeds. Also, subframe is Confusing with a capital C. I don't want to study for a degree in TPT electronics just to make stuff that can add 2 and 2.

    *Oh, apparently you can subframe LITH. Hm. Might actually have a few usecases then.

    JeantheFox: This probably won't be a very useful tech. Subframe is much easier to use, more flexible, and faster.
