My planter just got possessed and claimed a mechanic's workshop. This could be interesting.

Bad mechanism = long delay
Okay mechanisms = small delay
Really good mechanisms = no delay
Artifact mechanism = negative delay

I wish.

I would bet money Andrew has edited things retroactively, except I can't prove anything because it was edited retroactively.

regardless, the slime shooter will be completed, come hell or high water, which are both entirely plausible setbacks at this point.

Think about it. The mechanism will know what you are going to do, before you do it.

Now imagine this scenario:

Goblins are attacking. You try to mark the lever of the Weapon of Uber-Death for pulling, when you are interrupted by a message:
"I'm afraid I can't let you do that, Mark."
You try the best you can, but you cannot mark the lever for pulling.
Long story short, yer dwarves die.

Perfectly appropriate for a clairvoyant trap, eh?
