How it's used

Structural overview — derived from this gate's ports, not from tested behavior. Takes 1 wire input: Rotation (any). Produces 1 output: Output (vector).

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.
