Someone, please rate my monstrosity: ( Medium/Carpet )

I am pretty sure this is the worst possible solution. It's not even infinitely extensible, but at least it has 'nice' aesthetics.

And what does an actually good solution look like?

8/10. At this point you should try to use every square.

I struggled with that one, the 3:1 scale is weird. Mine is slightly less monstrous but still nowhere near hitting the best cycles or cost.

I only just noticed the exhaust/trash ends up being Sierpinski triangles.

I guess my insistence on trying to not do it serially (process one block at a time) actually made it worse.

I got it for slightly cheaper but with almost twice as many cycles. I also use a technic I call "storage". it's similar to the easiest way to do Sort but in reverse.
