When you need to pull the mechanisms with the press, if you try to pull them with pliers it returns no messaging.

> pull mech with pli
put pli in hav

You put your pliers in your haversack.


I appraised the mechanisms while in the middle of the process and got this.

> app my mech
The mechanisms appear to have a ductility of 5621 on the Trader's scale.
The steel mechanisms are made with metal.
You are certain that the steel mechanisms weighs exactly 1 stone.
You wonder if the steel mechanisms are worth around 566472650 Kronars.
Roundtime: 8 seconds.

After the process was done.

You don't think the steel mechanisms are worth anything.


These were made with a lightened mid-steel ingot. I'm guessing how much they are worth is set when they are finished. 56k+ plat seems really weird for a few volumes of mid-steel though.


Ductility doesn't show up on deeds, even after you tap and re-deed it.

I'll rework the messaging and check into the corrupted values.

The intent was to make the press work like a grindstone. It should give messaging if you read/analyze it to PUSH/PULL the <item> with <press>.

The fuel should work like the fuel in the forges/foundries. Trying to keep everything working identically between systems so syntax is less of an issue.
