    I've seen the rail-rotator clocks, but does anyone have a design for a fast clock that doesn't use rail?

    For a clock that can turn on and off:
    activation(1) -> or(1) -> not -> delay -> activation(2) -> or(1)
    I havent worked on a way to refine it but its 5 blocks so not to bad

    You can overclock the simple timer by linking it directly to 2 activation modules, linking the timer to a not, then linking the not to 2 activation modules, and linking the activation modules to a t-flip-flop. Repeat the process each time you want to double the speed, replacing the timer with the last t-flip-flop. I saw someone post this and it works great. Of course, I have yet to test this with complex logic.

    That works, somewhat, but it causes issues in that it doesn't actually spread out its effects. Just because the number of times it effects a block per second was upped doesn't mean its speed was upped.

    Oh, I see. I will have to do some testing when my computer issues are fixed.
