Game Development: Under Pressure

We've been developing, and here's what's new,

Colliquative Pressure Cooker: Craft and place in a stove. Place items in the cooker. Light the stove. While items are in the cooker, their two highest Alchemical dimensions will slowly harmonize at the higher of the respective two levels. The longer the items stay in the cooker, the more their Chymicall Instability increases, as does the risk of an accident. Accidents include exploding stoves, cookers, loss of items in cooker, &c. The risk of a more severe accident also increases with higher instability.

Change to Compost Alchemy: Compost Bins no longer take the Alchemies of matter fed to them into consideration when determining the Alchemy of the Humus they produce. Humus Alchemy is now a function of the Compost Bin's Alchemy and the Alchemy of the Worms in the Compost Bin. Worms can be placed in any container and will then eat most any plants when placed next to them. When worms eat a plant, their Alchemy will move toward the Alchemy of the plants eaten. The Alchemies of the matter fed to the Compost Bin still matters, but only insofar as more pure inputs are turned into humus faster.

Trial by Fire: Can now be used by anyone, not just members of the village that built it.

There are more items in the Cooker's vein coming. Stay tuned.

Enjoy!

Wonder how many people will log back in tomorrow and find containers with some random worms they left laying around and empty spots where they once kept some treasured plant items :o

Everybody get you worms out of your boxes before they eat all your plants. Bwahahaha

Easy bake ovens are history. Going to have to actually sit and watch the water boil.
