I do think No.
1) they are (chess) really powerful
2.a) 2 of each like in chess is good (polished?) idea, while
2.b) 1-slot gamma is easy-coded and not-so-gamma. Looks like max-chess was first and then they came up with new gamma circuit

At first i was not pushing spatializer circuit as gamma circuit.

Now with the chessmaster introduction as the only one single slot circuit makes me realize that it makes 0 sense has a gamma circuit. All bonuses are cool but theyre just passives, the only thing thats its not, is the ability to directlty repair clockworks without have to electrocute them first. Switching their categories would make them more consistent.

Alpha (stats bonus), Beta (always active abilities), Gamma (abilities that require player interaction)

I like chessmaster as gamma. The division you propose sounds annoying and worse to me

The Division its what we currently have, The chessmaster circuit its the exception of what (mostly) circuits do in their respective category. And I'm aware that this will eliminate a cool combination of circuits to rush ruins like 1x Speed + 1x Optoelectronic (nightvision) and we Dont want that; a simple solution would be just add and extra "Active" effect for the The chessmaster circuit to make it more appealing in the gamma category.

アルファ（ステータスボーナス）、 ベータ（常時発動の能力）、 ガンマ（プレイヤーの操作が必要な能力）

When I first saw the Gamma circuits, I realized that while Alpha and Beta functioned as a build system for the chassis parts, Gamma was essentially a build system for the control panel buttons. It fit the robot theme perfectly and felt like the true next phase of robot building. I was deeply impressed by this groundbreaking idea and had been eagerly looking forward to it.

Is it, where is it official? I think gamma is just capabilities. Not active abilities, but capabilities: the ability to spin, the ability to digest rot, the ability to recruit more chess pieces seems fine.

Alpha is core stats (health, hunger, sanity)

Beta is mainly modifications to non-core stats (temperature, speed), with some other stuff thrown in (light, vision, electric).

Gamma is new / altered capabilities.

I think the chess master circuit being gamma is the correct choice. It competes with spin circuit in a nice way. I think it would be way worse in beta. It would be kinda of interesting in alpha (get more followers at the cost of your own stats) but I think gamma is the correct choice.
