god, i don't understand those celebrity alchemists. they love to show off the really flashy metrics in demos and contests, but where's the love for the stuff that really makes the world tick?

i think this is a fairly straightforward construction of a fairly fearsome formula. no magic to be seen here, just arms doing their jobs - easy to maintain, and doesn't burn through your engine's limited lifespans. whenever you see a flashy Rate-optimized machine, or a machine with so few arms that the instruction tape becomes the majority of its cost - just know its really machines like this one that power your cities. i wish people were more honest about it.
