Add a subrule to the Core Rules after the subrule Proposals titled Patch Proposal. It will contain the text:
If a Kaiju God has a proposal that is Pending and has been voted on, the Kaiju God may make a Patch Proposal, following the same posting rules as a Proposal, with the following exceptions:
The title of the post must be the same as a pending proposal the Kaiju God has posted with the prefix “Patch: “.
The Patch Proposal’s body must start with a link to the pending proposal that matched the title of the Patch Proposal after the prefix, and the rules changes it suggests must only affect the changes the linked proposal would make if passed.
A Kaiju God may post a patch proposal even if the normal limits on proposals have been reached, but may not post more than one Patch Proposal per pending Proposal that is in effect.
This may help speed things along, and make it easier to post fixes when normal proposal limits are reached.

Hmm…no punishment for proposals needing sk’ing.
Kevan:
And it won’t even work, will it? You don’t say that patches have to be enacted at the same time as the proposal that they’re patching, so it’s possible to be suffering a broken rule while waiting for the patch to be enacted.
Hix:
Oh, has it been 3 dynasties since the last “Amendment Proposal” Proposal already?
for the usual reasons.

Well, was worth a shot. Lookts like the upgrade broke voting, BTW.

[Alethiophile] “Must only affect the changes the linked proposal would make” is very broad, though. I can propose “Smashable Buildings” as my main proposal, and where “Some Building Types To Smash” might have otherwise been a second proposal or a section of the first, I can (and would be sensible to) propose it as a “patch” for the first proposal.
