Programmable dais in workshop issue #232

Open xxbbcc opened 9 months ago

xxbbcc commented 9 months ago

When putting the pill and the age on the programmable dais (synthesizer setting), pulling the lever does nothing:

>pull lever
The programmable dais whirs for a moment, then dies down again.

I'd expect that the dais would create pillage since the synthesizer at the university can create abstract concepts. The university synthesizer behaves the same.

(PS: The game is already fantastic as it is and I only decided to report this as a bug because one of the other entries mentions that the level of attention detail only makes the odd mistakes stand out. This really speaks volumes to how well this game is made.)

Thanks for reporting this!

The reason it isn't working is that nobody has added a "pillage" object to the source, and unfortunately the current policy seems to be that we're not adding more objects.

See previous discussion in #215 and #183.

That makes sense. Thank you for the quick response.
