In the rule “Overland Navigation”, replace the first paragraph with the following text:
The Great Machine has Surroundings, which is a publicly-tracked text string that defaults to “Dead city”, and a Destination, which is a publicly-tracked list of text strings displayed vertically, where the top entry is the first entry and the bottom entry is the last entry, defaulting to an empty list. The valid text strings for Surroundings and each entry in the Destination list are in the list of Locations below. As a Mechanised Action, a Machinist inhabiting the System of Control may add a new entry after the last entry in the Destination list, or as the first entry if the list is empty.
In the rule “Time’s Passage”, add the following bullet point to the end of the list:
* If the Destination list is not empty, set the Surroundings to the value of the top entry in the Destination list and then remove the top entry from the list, moving all other entries that exist up one.
and replace “do this twice if the Great Machine lacks a Destination.” with:
do this twice if the Destination list is empty.
Currently, if multiple Machinists in the System of Control change the Destination, the last one to make a change is the one likely to stick. This new mechanism allows multiple Destination changes to be queued up and processed, one per Passing Time.
I didn’t want to overcomplicate this change with the notion of “distance” or “travel time”, so if someone wants travel from one Location to another to take more than a day, we can add that as a future Proposal.
lemon: she/her
could you add a clause to avoid overwriting the Valve cost that was added in Amended Amendments?
