Format String

Expression (pure) Strings 8 in 1 out ⬚ 1x1

Inserts Inputs A through G into a format string, useful for building status labels, scores, and messages from live values.

The supplementary gate_docs.json calls this “Format Text”. The primary inventory name (Format String) is shown here, matching the in-game UI.

How it's used

Structural overview — derived from this gate's ports, not from tested behavior. Takes 8 wire inputs: Format String (string), Input A (string), Input B (string), Input C (string), Input D (string), Input E (string), Input F (string), Input G (string). Produces 1 output: 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.
