Make a tiny SCP-914.
Distribute 1 point into Discovery, and 2 points into Creation.
Why work on maintaining our inventions longer when we can take them apart and build a better version?

...in what?

Elektrisity's one point goes into Discovery, since that is the only subject able to invest points into the latter. The remaining distributed points points must therefore be those of Clockwork.

That's what I thought, but I just wanted to make sure.

You don't know what an SCP is, and you don't have enough skill to make that! You do distribute 1 skill point into ELEKTRISITY:DISCOVER and two points into CLOCKWORK:CREATION.

James leaves, and you take inventory of your workshop. You have THREE (3) quantities of ASSORTED CLOCKWORK PARTS; involving chains, gears, springs, and axles. You have ONE (1) clockworkbench; despite it's name, it possesses no clockwork qualities. You aim to, though, and you could do it any time soon. You just need to make up your mind about what to add... You also have TWO (2) quantities of ASSORTED ELEKTRISITY COMPONENTS; lightbulbs, wires, batteries...

Now what?

Oh goodness, ninja'd by 8 posts. Wow. Clockwork fox it is!

To make a CLOCKWORK FOX TOY, you will need 1-2 DAYS to DESIGN it, 1 DAY to GATHER PARTS if needed, and 3 DAYS to CONSTRUCT it.

(
Clockwork:Design:-1 Design
Parts::0 Gather
Clockwork:Construct:-1 Construct

In total: 1D(day) Design, 0D Gather, 2D Construct
)
The fox will have lightbulbs in it's eyes that light up periodically, and it will be wind-up.

Costs:
2 CLCKWRK PARTS
1 ELEK PARTS
3 DAYS

Is this OK? Y/N

[Mr. Palau]

+1 to fox toy making

[GreatWyrmGold]

That's fine.

[intelligentmoron]

I have no problems either, although it would have amused me to give the fox a weapon of some sort because giving little children annoying weapons like an airsoft gun tickles my sense of mischief.

[scapheap]

Seem fine - intelligentmoron's weapon maybe the next one we do that.

The CLOCKWORK FOX is added to your ACTIVITY LIST.

Activities:

-Make clockwork fox (3 Days)

You spend one day working on the Clockwork Fox. Nothing of note happens. Two more days pass, and the fox is almost done. You are inserting the final lightbulb, you turn it on, and... SH*T! His LEGS FELL OFF! Ugh. What now? You'll need more advanced tools in order to fix it. It's simple to put it together, but repairing it is not. You do think of your Clockworkbench, and the upgrade you've been meaning to do... What now?

Your ACTIVITY LIST has been cleared. Your PRIORITY INDEX is updated with two entries.

Priorities:

-Upgrade Clockworkbench (with clockwork tools?)
-Fix clockwork fox
-Finish clockwork fox

Oh, and you gain 1 CONSTRUCTION in both Clockwork and Elektrisity.

[Sorcerer Kail]

We won't be able to fix/finish fox so lets start with looking for tools to upgrade our Clockworkbench we could either check friends which do play around with clockwork(if we have any, and probably we have, as well we probably studied with them or talked to  some hobbyists) or go to shop and spend our saving on tools.

You head to the wafflemonger. His stall appears to be made of belgian waffle as a construction material. He hails you. You come over to him, and he whispers, "Hey... You got the chang-I got the waffles, waffles, waffles, waffles... Yes waffles..." He appears more than a little mentally unstable.

What do?

[Remuthra]

Acquire the One Waffle to Rule Them All.

[GrizzlyAdamz]

Try to establish if he's a nuts kind of crazy or a genius kind of crazy- does he have any fantastic waffle-making contraptions we could reverse-engineer & incorporate into other designs. Go chat with the clockwork merchant, see if we can borrow his tools- we're likely his best customer and therefore on familiar terms with him.
