Hi!
Suggestions for the beginnings of the industrial era:
- Steam machine (for power):
- add coal
- add water
- ligth
- get movement that can be then attached to the two other ideas below
- smelter:
- just drop one particular ore (or a couple if there are mixes later)
- add coal
- force air (powered by seam machine above
- make tray and put tray
- get ingots
- as long as there are ores (you could be adding as it goes down), coal and forced air, smelting happens. put a tray and open lever to get the melted metal into it so it becomes ingots.
- must be difficult to start (as real big smelting things are: lots of coal, lots of forced air) but once going it is efficient: this will mean it is not worth for small batches of smelting, but very efficient time wise for large batches.
- fabric machine:
- sort of the same, just drop thread (made with a similar machine?)
- select fabric type perhaps
- attach to steam machine for power
- get fabrics
Cheers,
Marcos
