First you get good at simple logic with them (if petroleum>2*heavy oil, run a pump), then you practice with feedback loops and building memory cells and then you start putting the memory cells together with decoders and...
OH, I'm sorry, you don't actually know how to build a computer within a game?
I suggest you get a book on the subject, something like this textbook: https://www.amazon.com/Elements-Computing-Systems-Building-Principles/dp/0262640686/?ref=sr_1_1&ascsubtag=b8e9decdfb9784eca6fb4151f422ce6d6cc928b5&rawdata=%5Br%7Chttps%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%2Fundefined


Yes, that's right, I'm telling you to get a full-blown textbook to learn how to do this, because it is just that hard of a thing to do. Granted, it'll be slightly easier than in minecraft, or dwarf fortress ( http://boingboing.net/2010/04/15/colossal-turing-mach.html ) because you'll have multiplication, addition, and fairly easy boolean operators right from the get-go, but it's NOT an easy task.
