Reword the second paragraph of Rule 2.4 (Workshops) to:-
At any time, a Commoner may attach an Invention they own to their Workshop, by updating the [[Inventions]] wiki page accordingly - Inventions which are attached to Workshops (and only those Inventions) must have “(attached to Workshop)” after their name.
In the list of Requirements for Workshop types, replace “must have” with “must have Inventions with”, and replace “This workshop requires a precision lens, a thermometer and fireproof walls.” with:-
The workshop must have Inventions with a precision lens, a thermometer and fireproof walls attached to it.
Replace “All commoners have at least one workshop, which can exist in various forms and have various characteristics. New Commoners start with one Junkyard workshop. ” with:-
All Commoners have a Workshop, which can exist in various forms and have various characteristics. New Commoners start with a Junkyard workshop.
Remove “The land upon which to build further additional Junkyard Workshops needs to be bought from the Mad Prince, who may chose when, how many, and at what price to sell at his own discretion.” and “/ Mad-Prince defined” from Rule 2.4.
Tidying up the slightly vague mechanic of Parts being attached directly to Workshops - it’s not clear exactly how they come into play, or whether Income is deducted. This makes it so that you can only attach completed and paid-for Inventions to your Workshop.
Also cutting the multiple Workshops, which seem like too much effort to track the details of right now - if I have two identical Dirigibles and attach an Electromagnetic Coil to one of them, it’s not clear how I’m supposed to track that (or how I’m able to use the Coil when I’m out flying the other one).
Josh: Mastermind he/they
I’d still like to have some sort of multiple-workshop mechanic, but it can always be proposed and fleshed out later. While the parts-on-inventions fix makes sense, it’s thematically a bit weird and forces people down the throat of that ugly Invention Power Requirment equation. I’d really seen workshops as being big, flying inventions that you can live in, rather than something that you can live in that unrelatedly houses inventions. I’ll defer on the basis of ambivalence.
