Proposal: Technically a Blueprint, I guess

Reached quorum 8 votes to 0. Enacted by Kevan.

Add to rule Precision Lens:

This reduction only applies once per Commoner, even if he or she owns more than one Precision Lens.

Just clarifying that these don’t stack. (trust me, we really really don’t want them to)

for It probably means this anyway, but it’s nice to make sure to prevent possible scams.

against it’s a bit sloppily worded - my initial interpretation was that you could only use the Precision Lens once in the game, at which point it became a glorified paperweight. It should really be once per Commoner per Invention.

@Josh: allowing multiple inventions to precision-lens down costs would mean you could repeatedly create inventions, then dismantle them for more resources back then you spent in the first place, especially with a stone-crusher involved.

@ais - I don’t disagree, and I think this is a problem that needs fixing, but the way it’s worded here seems to have the unintended consequence of making precision lenses one-shot over the course of the entire game. Which is more damaging than the problem it seeks to solve. (Especially for those of us who have already spend money on a precision lens which would become useless.)

@Josh: I have spare slots, I’ll propose a fix to this fix.

COV for hoping that Lens Flare may pass.
