Inconsistent new processor textures

Describe the bug

First of all: I love the new textures, also the fact that the individual processor types differ in shape rather than just color as before.

However while browsing EMI (or was it REI at that time?) I noticed some inconsistencies that I can't "un-see" now that I know of them. I compiled a little picture side-by-side of press, printed circuit and finished processor.

AE2 processors

  1. Notice that all presses have 3 pins (on different sides). This is inconsistent with the 2 pins on the calculation circuit and processor.
  2. Notice that the engineering press has pins on all 4 sides, while the engineering circuit and processor only have pins on 2 sides
  3. Notice that all presses have the same size, but the processors differ in size.
  4. Notice that the printed silicon has also a specific size that does not match the different processor sizes.

How to reproduce the bug

Look at the picture ;)

Expected behavior

Consistent textures or a statement that it is the way it should be (artistic freedom). To be honest: I have no good suggestion on how 3 and 4 could be addressed.

I was planning to update the Press textures a bit anyway to give them more unique identifiers at a quick glance, so this was perfect timing. Thank you for documenting it.
The only thing that remained the same is the Pressed Silicon. I can't think of a clean solution to make it match all 3 types at once while maintaining a unique shape for each Printed Circuit and Processor. This needs to be left to the imagination of players that it gets sheared off based on the final press to match the Processor.

Wow, this is very detailed and looks so much more consistent, I like it. I think there is no clean solution for the silicon size but leaving that part to the imagination of the player (or creating a little background story for the lore) is fine. I find it more important that the player can easily identify which press must be used for which printed part when setting up the presses and that has been improved very well. Thanks!
