First time poster. Hello.

Suggestion:
+ Rename Electronic Circuit -> Transistor
+ Rename Advanced Circuit -> Circuit
+ Rename Processing Unit -> Central Processing Unit

Reasoning:
+ Third tier of Circuits is called Processing Unit, a deviation from the norm set by the other two tiers.
+ The natural progression of electronic components (both in historical technological evolution, as well as multi-component modern day machinery that contains all three) includes transistors, which functioned as early circuits.
+ Most of the machines the basic Electronic Circuit is a component for but the Advanced Circuit is not, have a very strong "More Mechanical than Electronic" vibe

Most will continue to call them greedn circuit, red circuit an blue circuit .

[Edit] Thank you eradicator

What you want is a quite trivial translation change. You could even do it on your own system only and still play multiplayer.

Typo of the month. Or actual reality. You must construct additional circuits.

Yes. I am aware you could just remove the entire "Ideas and Suggestions" forum and just replace it with a single sticky post: "Just mod it in yourself".

The fact is the vanilla game's inconsistent naming terms for circuits are inconsistent feels slightly jarring.
I imagine a high number of people who play this game are also meticulous individuals.

Yes, they'll call them green, blue, and red circuits.
I also call science pack potions.
It doesn't change the fact that every time I mouse-over the blue circuit, it doesn't say circuit, but the other two do.
