Machinery Maintenance
« on: August 30, 2011, 11:55:07 pm »

I had an idea:
What if things like pumps and wind/watermills required maintenance? It would have to have a setting to turn it off, for those mega-machinery forts, but it would add a need for more than one mechanic. No longer can you create pump-stacks and just insure nothing touches it; you must make sure it's well maintained or ‼FUN‼ happens.

It was mentioned in improved mechanics thread, I presume. And it's worthless without the former, because there isn't that many possibilities for making it fun right now, all you can get is a fruuustration of rebuilding your pumpstack.
