Only one of those will make it out of all of those shown? Damn!
So what is the purpose/function of this part 1 machine? From the chugga chugga it seems to signify an engine of some sort…

ah… just saw the word ‘Refine’ on the 2nd image… is this for refining raw materials such as Iron?

@ben is the designer here and I don’t really want to say any more for fear of accidentally contradicting exactly what is planned. I’m sure he’ll post details at some point.

My votes go to any of the "VRR"s or the “BZZZZ”

I’m going to choose to remain mysterious for now, I think machines require a more in-depth devlog post. I’ll try post something this week! :slight_smile:

We expect leaks from you, not mystery.

Edit: Except mysterious leaks (and leeks). Those are ok!

I love that you guys are going to have some machines in oort. These ones look very futuristic and sci-fi though. I feel as if that kinda violates the theme that you guys have been working on, but I can also see how it’s contrast might kinda work since it is a post civilization world. I dig the twisted wires on #5 for this reason. It looks like roots or something. If the machines could kinda reflect nature that would be cool.

All done extremely well I can see most will fit in the game with ease.

But wait, the chop chop one doesn’t seem very efficient because, aren’t “factory-like things” supposed to be cut horizontally?:open_mouth:

Also, what does the bzzzz do? I look forward to @ben 's leeks! (nudge, elbow, cough) :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye::stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye::stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

This is the most perfect picture I’ve ever seen in my life😶

Something I don´t want to miss to mention is that in my opinion red is a rather poor choice of colour for the stuff inside the pipes since Minecraft already uses red as colour for it´s logic/machinery system.
Using the same colour in a similar system would kinda be like making a tall green creatures that blows itself up :wink:
