Megasystems have Facilities in them. Facilities’ names (flavortext), parent Megasystems and statuses (ACTIVE, STANDBY or DORMANT) are publicly tracked.

Every Facility has an amount of Power, which is publicly tracked and defaults to 0. A Facility with 0 Power is always DORMANT; a Facility with 1 or more Power is never DORMANT. If a DORMANT Facility gains Power, its status defaults to STANDBY.

Every Facility has a Function, which is a publicly tracked text string describing a game action. As a Mechanised Action called Operating, a Machinist may spend 1 Power from an ACTIVE Facility in the same Megasystem as them to perform that Facility’s Function.

Megasystems have Facilities in them. Facilities’ names (flavortext), parent Megasystems, Power (a non-negative Integer) and statuses (ACTIVE, STANDBY or DORMANT) are publicly tracked.

Every Facility has an amount of Power, which is publicly tracked and defaults to 0. Facilities’ statuses default to DORMANT when they have 0 Power and STANDBY otherwise. A Facility with 0 Power is becomes DORMANT. If a Facility with 0 Power gains Power, its status becomes STANDBY.

Every Facility has a Function, which is a publicly tracked text string describing a game action defaulting to “Distribute 1 Bauble.”. As a Mechanised Atomic Action called Operating, a Machinist may perform the following steps:
* Spend 1 Power from a STANDBY Facility in the same Megasystem as them that has at least 2 Power.
* Perform that Facility’s Function.
* Change that Facility’s Status from STANDBY to ACTIVE.

The following shorthand terms may be used in Facilities’ Functions: “Distribute X” means “give X to each Mechanist in the same Megasystem as the Facility”. “X and self-incriminate” means “As an Atomic Action, do X, then put yourself on the Lockdown list listed at 3 days”.

Add a subrule to “Initialisation”. Call it “Provisional Facilities” and give it the following text:

The Provisional Facilities Registry is a list of text strings that are flavortext. If there is a rule called “Initialisation Phase Two”, then the Great Machine and each Machinist may add a text string of their choice to the Provisional Facilities Register once per dynasty.

If there is no rule called “Initialisation Phase Two”, the Great Machine may create a Facility with a name of their choice, any parent Megasystem and a text string from Provisional Facilities Registry as its Function.

The Great Machine may remove any text string from the Provisional Facilities Registry at any time, and should do so to remove text strings that would be unfair or nonsensical as the Function of a Facility, or that have already had a Facility created from them.
