SpaceChem (2012 Tournament)

by GuavaMoment

Part 21: Top 16 - Round One Challenges

Round One - Single Elimination Tournament

For this phase of the tournament we are mostly using production assignments. In this case I will need an overworld screenshot of your system in motion, and a screenshot of each reactor internals. With a screenshot in motion I can see all the pipes and the general layout of the interior, so I know which reactor is which. Also you could help me out by having proper input and output labelling, but uncheck the "show in pipeline" box, to keep the overworld uncluttered.
