Example of a Pixel Box circuit. The left Switch does nothing, while the right Switch turns it on and off.

The Pixel Box is a mechanism that can be bought from the Mechanic for 2 SC. When activated, it looks fully illuminated but does not emit light.

Pixel Boxes can be placed anywhere, even if a wall is not present, similarly to Logic Gates. They are always placed in the deactivated state. If a wire below or above the Pixel Box is turned on at the same time as a wire to the left or right of the Pixel Box, it will turn on. Turning on the wire only below or above or only to the left or right will have no effect. Wires must be placed on the Pixel Box in order for them to function.

Trivia

  • According to Yoraiz0r, the Pixel Box "was an attempt at a single-block light that would be easier to use to make things light up or not, but it ended up not satisfactory" and was thus originally not made obtainable.[1]
