The Push Cell is, within the original Cell Machine cells, the most basic cell. Most remakes implement it with a maximum of 10 lines of code, as it has <b>no</b> properties. In fact, the most interesting feature of the push cell is its lack of features. In the original Cell Machine levels, it is only used for keys, "fuel" for generators, or to allow for multiple enemies to be killed.

Key Attributes

  • Pushable
  • Rotation-independent

Uses within the community

In contraptions, the Push Cell usually plays only a minor role, like in keys or lightwires. Most uses of the push cell can be replaced with some other cell.

Again, the push cell only has a small use within puzzles. Push cells can be used to allow for the culling of multiple enemies or for various small machines like keys.

In vaults, push cells are only sometimes used within vaults and more frequently used in the solve. Inside of vaults, being featureless does not help frequently. Sometimes bars made out of slide cells will have push cells within them. However, being featureless does absolutely help within vault solving. Many (non-optimized) vault solves will be made primarily out of push cells.
