As He Rows might have noticed in the new
Agrii Network Post, there has been an upgrade to the replicator system! This was done as a thank you for all of the hard work of the He Rows at the start of the year to fix the Agrii Ship. It took a while for them to get around to completing the work thanks to the ongoing political tensions among the Agrii factions, but hey, rewards are rewards and should be embraced!
So, what's the new change mean?
He Rows will be getting
one additional bulk replicator use each month. This use will make up to fifty pounds of a singular material, mostly 'simple' items and raw resources. He Rows are encouraged to use this to help improve Agra-10, support their personal projects, and support each other. This can vary from metal ingots to construction supplies, undyed bolts of cloth to a kitchen staple, and even just be as simple as a bale of hay. These requests do still need programmed if they are an unusual request. Like with the normal rations, the usage may be 'gifted' to other He Rows by being present to confirm their instructions when the replicator ration is used.
As ever, replication of alcohol/drugs may only be done by those who are 15+, whether they are medicinal or otherwise. That said, replicating alcohol/drugs, while possible with this bulk replicator ration, will still only replicate the standard replicator ration quanta (size of an average microwave) instead of a full 50 pounds. Nor can weapons be replicated.
Please note that when replicating you only get your singular thing and perhaps something it is contained in, such as a paper sack or small cardboard boxes. The replicated bulk order must be of one consistent content as well. You can't bulk replicate cups of ramen for instance, because they have many separate constituent parts. But you could bulk replicate dried spaghetti because you're just replicating fifty pounds of a specific noodle shape in one or a few boxes/sacks. Canned goods cannot be replicated though as the metal cans cannot be replicated with anything inside of them.
We do understand that for some things 'fifty pounds' is not a lot of material. However this is a universal limitation on the size/weight/mass that the replicator can generate with this bulk method.
To go with this update to the replicator system we've officially added general replicator notes to the
FAQ page under Planet Based Questions. We did our best to incorporate all of the previous information/questions asked about replicators, but we know that we may have missed some. If anything confuses you about the replicator going forth, please direct questions to the FAQ page.
For the next month if you have any questions about the bulk replicator use, please direct them below. After that we ask they be sent to the FAQ page. Thank you!
