Making 40 boards with the woodworker machine takes time. This is fine (making boards takes time!), except that while the machine is being used, you are prevented from doing a number of other productive things.
I think that while the machines are working we should be able to repair tools, crush rock, spin fiber, etc. I just don't see how a machine doing its thing makes me too busy to repair my hatchet...
Also, what will happen when the robots come into play? If they are putting our machines hard at work while we are in the game, will we be prevented from being productive in many other ways?
I can sort of understand the logic of having only one machine being used at a time (though ideally, i'd like to be able to use multiple) but I'm just a little frustrated by not being able repair/crush/etc things.
Any thoughts? Or better suggestions?
