I’m building a complex circuit and it doesn’t work. Is there any possibility to hold the game, inspect signals and continue in 1 tick steps?

I need more detail answer kinda "for dummies". I went to the options and found "Tick once" is set to "Numpad .". I pressed that key and nothing happened. There should be something more I should know.

I didn't know about that one, i used to set /c game.speed=0.1 and use the 6fps mode to track what was happening

Also may I suggest my circuit tracing ring buffer, there's times when the single-step-and-inspect is best, also times when you want the history for the patterns in the changes.

There are a couple of mods that try and emulate the step-by-step part in the game, too, but this is what I'd pick as my first port of call.
