How it's used

Structural overview — derived from this gate's ports, not from tested behavior. Takes 3 wire inputs: Use UTC (bool), Format (string), Unix Epoch (int). Produces 2 outputs: Success (bool), Output (string).

No curated example for this gate yet. The shape above is accurate (from the inventory); what it does in practice should be confirmed in-game.
