You wake up in a room with a computer. The computer says:

This is the Machine Sandbox.

While in the Machine Sandbox, you may build the machine and such by typing commands into me. I will try to execute commands given to the best of my ability.
Alliances may be formed, but there is no win or lose condition (other than I suppose the machine being destroyed).
While I cannot stop you from destroying the machine, I highly suggest that you avoid this.
Please keep commands related to the topic (building and operating a possibly ridiculously complex machine).
Players may join at any time. All players are considered to be humans of around average ability unless something changes this.
My word is final.

The computer then cuts to a command line. What do you do?

*Examine computer more closely. Attempt to determine age, hardware architecture, and software type running on the computer.

(I am an oldschool computer nerd. I cant help it-- I can identify old computers the way car buffs identify classic cars. I want to know what I am dealing with here.)

Evidently, it's a custom build.  It seems to have some potential for upgrades.
The OS appears to be custom-made, with roots in DOS and Linux.

Construction started. It will conclude shortly.

While editing is not prohibited, it is not as visible as posts. As such, if your post has already been covered, I recommend you make a new one. (Editing before coverage is fine.)

Creates new kittens out of kitten remains. 1:1 ratio. Don't ask how. Separate from the original room with kittens, so it doesn't create an endless loop.

While I'll probably get hated on for this, I'm going to say that it's probably good we have this, such that we don't flood the entire machine with cats.

Sacrificial Altar construction started. It will conclude shortly.

Butcher Expansion and Tannery construction finished.

Self-explanatory. They shall go to Cat Heaven. Let's have a few cats, OK?

[IndigoFenix]

Create Kitten Enhancer
Join Sacraficial Altar to Kitten Enhancer
Create Junction between Kitten Manufacturer and Butcher Expansion
Set global kec=0;
Set global catLives=9;
Function preProcessKitten(){
kec++;
if (kec == catLives-1){
setDestination(kitten_enhancer);
kec=0;
} else {
setDestination(butcher_expansion);
}
}

//Infuses 1 out of 9 kittens with the life force of the other 8

[Starver]

Create Vermin Spawner
(Because every complex system has a few bugs in it. And it gives whatever cats we end up with something to do.)

>align altar with the cat god Self explanatory. They shall go to Cat Heaven.

Alignment queued. It will be performed after construction.

Okay, I edited before you posted, did you queue up the sanctuary plan? And:
