It's really not. This is a production issue, but we got bonewood, coral, an plenty of people. Our bonus is Mass Production, which this revision can fall under, yeah? Making a ton of tools and stakes is fairly easy as it is, and we already had a revision put into the forgeworkers early on.
Coral is infinite, got plenty of bonewood. We can crank tools and stakes out all day.
We have a bonus to production, but that doesn't make production infinite. The way I think this works is that spending a wealth token will make the roll easier, or the aim higher, which means either way that the final result is better and more effective. We're piling one bonus on top of another.
The issue is the revision is already easy. Nor are the number of sea servants infinite, they're finite. And better tools doesn't actually solve their skill ceiling, they're basic workers.
Lapis Spirit Cores & LSS LeadersBy buying lapis from the Quarry, we can forge it into a magically reactive stone through the imbuement of Muu's energy. These cores are then enchanted with runes relating to the self, knowledge, and truth. When placed within a sea servant as they undergo rejuvenation, it allows more of the soul's self to be expressed, creating individuality in the hivemind and the ability to choose once again. While getting used to the body takes some time, it greatly improves their ability to wield tools and act. This does result in them being less cohesive as a whole when not under Muu's guiding hand, but the hivemind has always welcomed individual thought within the consensus.
Lapis Sea Servants are Uncommon variants that can act to direct groups of their lesser kin during work and battle. This means they no longer have to stay bunched together to be effective so long as their foremen are around. In addition to this, we've used our
Wealth to help things along and free up time to make hammers, hatchets, shovels, and stakes for rapid fortification, allowing the Servants as a whole to quickly dig and build Ditches and Palisades.
Lapis happens to be a stone that is magically significant, representing wisdom, intellect, and truth. It's also fairly good at holding spiritual energy due to these facets, which makes it ideal for making use of our work on solar sentinels back then. While it's not an artificial consciousness, some of the work does translate over as it's meant to hold one. Of course... if it's shattered that does mean the Lapis Sea Servant will die even if the rest of the body is intact. It's deeply rooted into the body, unlike normal Sea Servants whose spirit directly animates the flesh.
