Lithium Tutorial

## Introduction

This tutorial is to help the basics of how lithium works and to learn more about circuitry.

## Basic Components

There are many things you need to learn first when testing lithium.

### Connection

When placing down a power source and connecting it with either a Blue Cable / Red Cable, the strength of it is at 15. But when you place another cable in any direction from the 15 signal cable, it reduces it by 1, this continues till you have 0 signals. ***(Tip : Red Cables and Blue Cables are made to not connect each other.)***

### Sources

There are a variety of power sources, mainly from Lithium Blocks, Comparators, and more. Without the sources, it would make circuitry impossible to do, there are two types in sources, **1. Permanent Sources and 2. Manual Sources.**

#### Permanent Sources

Permanent sources are items which gives off the max strength without having to do it manually, and example of this is a Lithium Block.

#### Manual Sources

Manual sources however, require an entity to give off a signal. An example of this are Pressure Pads and Buttons.

### Repeaters and Comparators

Now that you know how to create a string of power, let's show you on how to extend that power indefinitely.

#### Repeaters

Repeaters is another key component, it extends the signal to the max per tick, when sending a power signal (by manual), it takes ticks to send a strong signal to the next connecting cable in front of it. You can also change the speed of with it sends (1/2/3 ticks) before continuing.

#### Comparators

Comparators are quite complex, they detect the container behind it whether if there is an item or not. If they find an object, it will send out max strength to the front of the comparator. However if there is no more items, it will stop sending out signals.

### Input

If there is an Output, there must be an Input. Within the tools section in your backpack, you can find loads of different inputs, from increasing the brightness of a closed room, to playing music, and more. All you need is to connect either a Repeater or a Cable adjacent to it and it will function. ***(Tip : If there is more adjacent of the same colored cable, it will not function. In which case you need the Repeater as it only focuses on the front.)***

## Advanced Components

This is the level between Complex and Basic. Here you will find some advanced units you can use.

### Push & Pull

These are used to push and or pull the in front of it. It requires a lithium signal to work.

### Resistance

This is used to negate the signal by half. Not sure why you need to do it.

### Launcher

This is one of the most famous input, use this to use a certain item, for example, a Spawner or a Projectile. If the object cannot be used within the Launcher, it will toss it instead.

### Wrench

This is mostly used when using circuits, this can tell whether the strength on a specific cable is at, and can change the settings for most circuit blocks.

### Catapults, Spike Traps, etc.

These are also inputs as well, they all do a special thing.

### Sensory Blocks and Rotor Blocks

Sensory blocks are used to input a max signal strength (from the dark holes) if a block in right in front of the blue hole. Rotor blocks can be changed on how long they can rotate the block or constant.

## Complex Components

This is the last level within this tutorial, this includes objects which may require testing to function.

### Sliding Blocks

Sliding blocks are used to move a block both horizontally and vertically, this connects in most blocks and will not function if either the area is too big, or if there is an obstruction. The slide starts when you use the signal onto the Sliding Block, it will attract the + Marker to the block if the front is also a +. Once it turns off, it will instead attract the - Marker to the Sliding Block. You can add many different blocks, and so. Be creative!

## Finish

You have reached the end of the tutorial! I hope you somewhat learned more about how Lithium works, though confusing, can actually be helpful. There isn't much to talk about other than that you should test every circuit blocks.
