《Machinarium》Chapter 2: [Creation]
Advertisement
I focused on what looks like a torso, and a screen pops up.
[Basic torso: The most basic torso, A weak torso used mostly for worker bots that has 1 slot for power.]
I pull the basic torso from the part selection screen, and onto the black box.
Then, I focused on a small motor like contraption.
[Basic engine: The most basic engine used for running a basic construct. Has a high chance of failure or explosion if too much strain is put on it. Maximum supported body parts: 6]
I then pulled the basic engine from the part screen to the torso, and the torso opened up as parts parted in order to get the engine into it. As the engine got closer, four wire like
tendrils grabbed it and attached it into the torso, and the parts joined back together.
"Wait, I thought this was a creation screen!"
[It is, but it is a portal into another realm. Due to this, physics still apply, and parts cannot phase through eachother.]
"Oh. thats sad."
I then focus on two arms that are in the part selection screen.
[Basic arms: The most basic arms that can barely lift 10 lbs. They are made with hardened wood and can take a little beating before finally splintering.]
"I sure do get the most second hand stuff!"
"The legs must be similar, so I wont check the status screen for them!"
I pull two legs and two arms from the part screen and hold them near the arm and leg ports.
Leather straps wiggle out of the arms and legs and lunge towards the ports and connect with them seamlessly.
Finally, I focus on a head that looks like a thicker sewer grate with smaller, rounded edges.

[Basic head: Includes basic ai. Can coordinate power distribution and coordinates movement and system activations. Can support 6 major body parts. Smart enough to do basic tasks such as defense and mining.]
I attach the basic head to the torso and body. Cords begin to come out from the sides of the neck of the head and dig into the torso, and then the cords begin to snake through the entire body, creating the nervous system for it.
"So uh, what do i do now?"
[You press the big glowing "summon" button.]
"How did i miss that? Its literally a giant button!"
I press the summon button, and the ground infront of me begins to move and shape itself into the construct's shape.
The construct is sitting on the ground, unmoving.
"Why isnt it moving?"
[It's not moving because you havent given it a task or activated it. Try to activate it by focusing on it.]
I focus on the unmoving construct, and a loud motor sound starts quiet, and slowly gets louder. Soon, a steady hum is coming from the construct, and it's eyes begin to flicker blue.
A few moments later, the construct begins to shakily stand up, falling over a few times.
The construct says glitchily: "What do you require of me, L-L-L-L-Leader?"
"Wait, it can talk? I thought it was a basic construct!"
[Yes, it is a basic construct. It is also not talking. You have a telepathic link with it.]

At any rate, I'm an exile now, scraping by in human lands, where pitchforks and torches are always just around the corner. I'd look for a better life, but I've got my hands full just staying alive when any random asshole could turn out to be a retired adventurer strong enough to hold ten bulls above their head with one hand tied behind their back. How did they pull that bullshit anyway?
