[Industrial Material Press]

nice to see that people suggesting designs for both usages of the machine

[plush dirge]

what is grey block?

[neat patio]

could replace the grey blocks with tiered metal blocks

or tiered pipe casings

[fleet nexus]

I doing similar, but this look much better

[blazing bramble]

It’d be great to have a tiered upgrade to the press, always felt silly that the plate making multi is objectively worse at making plates than the fluid shaper imo

[blazing bramble]

A tiered comment to its parallels would be cool, being locked to 4 per tier atm is its Achilles heel

[gloomy tree]

agreed, maybe this multi could have the unique mechanic of accepting two different ways of building it, with similar material costs? making it possible to wallshare one built to resemble a bending machine, and one a forming press? could be a unique challenge to design the two to not encourage the usage/spam of one over the other while allowing for that creative choice.

[stone zenith]

we're planning to make 2 separate multis for bending and pressing

[gloomy tree]

i see, yeah that'd solve it too lol

[gloomy tree]

as a followup, will the same be done for the OWP for example, with its other functionality? or just the material press

[stone zenith]

OWP?

[gloomy tree]

ore washing plant, its on the list too

[stone zenith]

ohh, ore washer

yeah we can separate it too

but that decision should be left for other devs

[gloomy tree]

yessir

[glass junco]

As someone who has seen these bending machines IRL, that's a pletty sick design

[placid charm]

this one looks super stylish oooh

Clean and compact! I love it
