Encyclopedia entry for Metal Machines is wrong

The entry currently reads, "A bangy, squeaky, marvellous red-hot metal machine. For the mutation of Plain Metal into Metal Rods, Metal Rods into Metal Bars and Metal Bars into Girders." In fact, you can't make bars from rods, or girders from bars; all three types need to be built from ingots.

Apparently, the metal machine was once planned to work as the wood machine does, but got changed. I like the variety introduced by the change.

  • This might be the cat wagging the dog but ... I would like to see this fixed because the Glitch Strategy wiki quotes the (wrong) Enclyopedia statement and it is awkward to clean that up as it stands. Much better would be if the Encyclopedia said something TRUE that got quoted.

    Saving everybody typing, it would be fine to change it to:

    "A bangy, squeaky, marvellous red-hot metal machine. For the mutation of Plain Metal into Metal Rods, Metal Bars, and Girders."
