Engineered Computation

Era 1 reworked: punch cards no longer store items. They catalogue real chests, and items move by pneumatic tube between Tube Stations and Receiving Stations, with the Tabulator Machine, Catalogue Cards and Card Decks keeping track of the item counts.

Tubes have been designed so that they can be windowed, dyed and covered, with visible carrier item animations and sounds. The first edition guide is also rewritten for these changes.
