okay, suggestions first.

1) This is long-term, if at all.  Basically, if you were to define lots of jail cells (1 chain in a sealed room + 1 door), you could enter into a deal where you take prisoners for yearly payments in whatever, and you could theoretically make a 'Prison Outposot,' instead of any other kind of outpost.

2) Rotation sensors - e.g. you hook it up to a mechanism, and whne it turns it sends a trigger activate message as if you'd pulled a level, and when it stops it sends a level-pull-back event thing.

3) make it so you can build grates off of grates,  e.g.

code:

++++++
+    +
+####+
+    +
++++++

Currently, you wouldn't be able to build those two center grates, which makes no sense to me.

Now the Queggestion (Question/Suggestion)

I heard something about changing coolours of gem windows or something with mechanics of some sort.  Is there anything like this, and could I technically use this to have a Gem window change between two colours based, say, on the state of a lever or pressure plate?

If not, I would like to make the suggestion that this be possible.  With the advent of Z-levels, being able to view in one glance the status of multiple water levels, whether a specific axle system is spinning (see above), etc. would be a lot better than having to view each section individually.

Grates are not meant to act like bridges, just so you know. They're meant to be impossible to place when they're surrounded by empty space.

[Sukasa]

Yeah, but it just makes sense that you could have grated bridges.  Besides, it just looks cooler as well

Think of grates as a manhole + bars over it rather than as a large area of corrugated metal.
