Every building with an input has at least a single stack box you can manually drop things to when you open the UI except the awesome sync. Why?
[Music]
Uh any reason I say it would be make believe cuz I don't know. I'm trying to imagine a reason. The awesome sync is funny in the way that it is the only buildable in the game. God, I hope I'm not wrong here. It's the only buildable. It's not the only building in the game, but it's the only buildable in the game that without question can just slurp all the items you give it without question, without fail. Nothing cues, nothing. It just eats everything. No belt leading into the awesome sync will be on hold or waiting unless you have run power. Uh nuclear waste. Nuclear waste is the one exception you can't dump in the sink. Thank you. Um yeah. Yeah. Sorry. Ex. Okay. Yeah. So if you block the sink or if you run out of power if Okay. If used properly, the sink is the only machine that can eat items at all times infinitely., without stop without fail. So I think there is some like weird there would be some weird interaction with that basically turning into like just a deposit box a bit too easy way to just dump stuff off your inventory all the time to you know keep making headway for tickets or coupons. Sorry. Uh and I can see why the designers would not like that. Like if you want coupons for stuff and if you want to like, you know, sync overflow materials to earn rewards or just be rid of it and clean up, making it too easy is also probably removing a couple barriers that are there for good design reasons. But that's about as good as Micros. So yeah, I hope I'm right about the buildings. Maybe I am.
