The CPU should probably be replaced by a ALU in the image. But it's kinda hard to get a good shot of the ALU.

You could use like a 74181, or one of the vintage bitslice ALUs.

There are numerous people who have made an ALU in Minecraft Redstone. Of course, in Factorio too.

I'm one of those! Or kind of at least... I build a computer (and ofc one of the parts was a alu) that sort of workt in MC pocket edition. The only longer program I think i ran on it generated the Fibonacci sequence. It took it like an hour to do the first few!

But mine was definitely not one of the fancier ones. I'm not even sure wether it did any logic or not, it might just have been a AU
