[@orlandolaurentiu731]

I have no idea how you managed to avoid "The Stick" with this monstrosity of a creation but i am more than impressed. I tried blueprinting something similar (15% of your movement complexity) and the whole thing stuck itself like a brick. Great job as always!

[@ApologiesSE]

I was blown away when I copied this thing and not one thing stuck lol. I wish I could say it was on purpose, but I just lucked out on this one. a lot of my stuff does because of the close proximity, but the way I normally combat it is to put a block within the same grid as another so on paste it wont fuse. I used to use LCD's, but the new flat blocks work just as well.
