[✗] Animati & Smoggers Amendment - Robots Should Drink Oil

[Lojo613 1882]

Automatons or Machine Spirits may consume or inject minor amounts of red oil to produce an effect similar to coffee in ordinary descendants. If the automaton consumes the equivalent of 1 quarter bottle of Red Oil (.25 Liter) in less than 1 OOC hour, it will a experience an involuntary minor overclock. If the automaton consumes the equivalent of 1 half bottle of Red Oil (.5 Liter) in less than an OOC hour, it will experience an involuntary major overclock. An automaton who consumes more than this will burst its gearheart, destroying it. Red Oil is acidic and will damage automaton components over time, requiring more frequent repairs should the automaton make a habit of Red Oil consumption. Automatons who consume or inject Red Oil emit minor amounts of smog, although never in a large enough quantity to pose anything other than a nuisance to ordinary life. 

 

Redline Additions:

-Consumption of Red Oil requires OOC consent. An automaton cannot be 'forced' to consume Red Oil. 

-Consumption does not grant any combat advantages, and involuntary overclocks are the same as the voluntary overclocks.

-Consumption of straight Red Oil will damage the internal machinery of an Automaton over time, requiring frequent repairs. An automaton may mitigate the damage of Red Oil by diluting the substance with Alchemical Lifefluid, reducing its acidity and potency.

-Any smog produced by Automatons only poses a minor nuisance to those in the immediate area of the automaton, irritating the nose, throat, and lungs but otherwise producing no obvious harmful effects. This amount is so small that it poses no effect on druidic connection or local plant life. 

 

Spoiler

Reasoning:

A MArt exists called the inebriation module which simulates the experience of alcohol or other intoxicating substances on automatons, for authentic Bender roleplay. I wanted to expand on this genre of automaton roleplay without the need for a particular MArt utilizing the Red Oil lore. This is meant to be purely flavorful, and shouldn't offer any combative advantage nor create a way to poison Automatons without their consent. Per Animatii lore, the Automaton gear heart utilizes redstone embedded in the gears as a power source and can function indefinitely, while per Smogger lore the Smogger utilizes a gear stomach to create a constant state of overclock through the vaporization of Red Oil. The Smogger lore describes the gear stomach as essentially a reinforced gear heart able to withstand the vaporization of Red Oil and constant overclock, and that ordinary gear hearts would be damaged by the overclock and/or burst from the pressure of Red Oil vaporization.

Can you vaporize red oil and inhale it?

[Pallodium 3780]

This lore has been denied.

Conceptually we aren't opposed to this- we rather intend to pursue this as an internal amendment with shortened wording as to not overcomplicate this for simplicity's sake.
