In “Machines”, change
A Machine has a publicly tracked Heat status that can be Hot or Cold; by default it is Cold.
to
A Machine has a Heat status that can be Hot or Cold (and is Cold by default); this status is tracked by placing an asterisk next to the name of each Hot machine in each Worker’s list of Machines.
Rename “Machinery” to “Machines”, moving the content of its subrule “Machines” into the main part of the rule and removing the subrule’s heading.
Combine “Currency” and “Boxes” into a single rule “Products” with the combined content of both rules (the content of “Currency” followed by the content of “Boxes”).
Two minor aesthetic fixes. One of these is to make the Machine lists easier to read, so that we don’t have to write “[Hot]” and “[Cold]” everywhere any more (the “asterisk to show that this has been used” idea comes from an old BlogNomic dynasty where it worked pretty well). The other is to combine rules that have the same topic as each other, making the ruleset a little easier to read.
