RH: It's a dowel emmiter, and it's pretty huge,
RH: Why would I need Duct tape
RH: I don't even have a tarp!!
RH: Anyways, I am going to need something heavy to drop on this thing
RH: Also, I think this game has two versions of the Cruxtrader
RH: Because I dropped something called a cruxtabox in ML'S house
RH: I guess they changed what it would be midgame
RH: Wait, you crushed my bookself with this thing
RH: Oh well, who reads anyways
RH: This thing isn't opening, I am going to need get something to pry it open
RH: Where is my damn crowbar when I need it?
RH: I am going to go drop the rest of the free objects in ML'S House
RH: This time I am going to put them on the roof.

MI: Okay great I see the rest of the stuff.
MI: Here's a list of what I've got, so we don't get confused over who has what edition of stuff:
MI: Cruxtabox (I think this equals the Totem Lathe thing from SBURB)
MI: Cruxtruder (No messy cornstarch for me)
MI: Punch Designix (This must be the SBURB version of the Code Press)
MI: Alchemy Portal
MI: Oh joy, I can't wait to summon an evil Dirigible from the Haberdashery of Hell.
MI: I also got a Hologram Matrix and Jumper Block Extension, but the extension doesn't connect with the Portal like it would with a regular Alchemy thing.
MI: I guess gA will have some new cool stuff to give you.
MI: If any of that GNUrb tech is "cool".
MI: Maybe you'll get some SBURB stuff too, since that's what you're running?
MI: anyway I gotta go, gA is about to input the command.

gA: the emitter is really messy
gA: and it gets grout everywhere.
gA: check mi's broadcast, he figured out how to get the mentor thing out of the emitter
gA: you just need an alchemy portal. Kenner see if I can figure out how to deploy it for you.

RH: All of this is extremely confusing,
RH: What the heck am I supposed to do?
RH: Why didn't we all just get Sburb
RH: Because I have no clue what I should do to get to the medium
RH: I mean Like what does what and stuff?
RH: I should have just spent 70 bucks and gotten the secure version
RH: Anyways, Could you put all of the stuff on my roof in a neat and orderly fashion
RH: Why spread them all around my house?
RH: That is, if you can move the Emitter after you dropped it...

Seriously, what does what? I am kinda confused about that right now, I don't know what I'm supposed to do.

Guide to GNUrb Tech:
Activate Dowel Emitter, it begins to heat up the Grout.
Enter command on Alchemy Portal once the Emitter is ready.
(The Phantasm Mentor is then released from the Emitter, along with a deluge of Grout if you didn't let it heat up enough.)
Crux Dowels are taken from the Emitter and placed in the Cruxboxer.
3/4 size Caphta-cards are customized in the Code Press, and also plugged into the Cruxboxer.
The boxed Dowel is then taken to the Alchemy Portal.
What happens next is unknown, but it involves exchanging Build Grits and boxed Dowels for items.

What happens when this system is attempted with several devices replaced by SBURB tech is also unknown.

gA: The dowel emitter is the gnurban equivalent of the cruxtruder.
gA: I think the cruxabox is the totem lathe
gA: the code punch is the punch designix and the alchemy portal is the alchemiter
gA: everything should be on your roof, I think. They're on the highest floor I could access

gA: URGH
gA: I can't find how to deploy the Alchemy Portal for you.
gA: I need the sst file for GNUrb's resource file.
gA: The good news is that it seems to be building a string table for me as I deploy the resources.
gA: But I don't know which resource is the Alchemy Portal and it isn't showing up in a price==0 query.
gA: I'm still trying to get to my roof; maybe I can find the hex code off my Alchemy Portal.
gA: I'll let you know if when I find it.

gA: Hey
gA: Could you do me a favour and check to see if there's a file with the extension .sst in your Sburb installation directory?
gA: I don't have a complete dictionary, so I can't find the Alchemy Portal to deploy for rH
gA: I talked to the building super, they won't let me on the roof.
gA: So it looks like I'm gonna have to jump...
gA: Or maybe just nick a lift key.
gA: Back shortly.

gA: You still alive?
gA: I got the phantasm out!
gA: Your code worked mI!
gA: I'm worried about you guys. Your chumClients are both on idle. Lemmee know you're OK please?
gA: Anyway, I'm about to prototype it with this:

EDIT: It's prototyped! Sorry to rush off though, I gotta run back downstairs and get rH's Alchemy Portal deployed / my ticket into the medium cruxtraboxed.

I forgot to make a preloader, so there's a rather long white screen, don't worry, it isn't broken. I don't know enough to write music, so I stole the audio track from an old N64 game, credited in the flash.

RH: Guys guys, I am sorry, I am now on the roof
RH: I am on the roof, and I need to get the Alchemy Portal
RH: Their is an uncomfortably close meteor homing in on me
RH: This is all disconcerting to me.
RH: I know what I am going to need to do, but I really need the Alchemy Portal
RH: Wait, what do you mean you don't have the full code GA?
RH: Hurry up about that hex code, I have what I need to prototype my Phantasm with,
RH: All I need is the code, and I will be on my way to the medium!! I am all set
RH: I have a dead mouse I found in my closet and a Bag of Freetos, I don't know what prototyping those will do, but at least I am all set!!
RH: Please hurry up though GA

gA: OK. I'm back at my computer.
gA: I had a brute force batch script running to see if it could figure it out...
gA: Oh!
gA: the Poperannosaurus Discotasm is doing something!
gA: I think it knows what the hex codes mean without a dictionary.
gA: I'm gonna let him take over the console.

Do you guys wanna keep this up after forageddon? Do we know how long they'll be offline? Should we find another forum to continue in if it's gonna be a while?

RH: Uhm... Guys... I just set everything up and entered the medium I think
RH: I prototyped my Phantasm with the freetos bag, making the Freetotasm
RH: I lost that damn mouse though, I am going to need to find something else to prototype I guess
RH: This Stupid Freetotasm is following me around and keeps on blurting out Symbols that look like freetos!!
RH: I am going to go set up everything for ML, later

RH: I set up everything in a neat and orderly fashion on your roof, except the Cruxtabox,
RH: That thing can't be picked up again thanks to a glitch
RH: I entered the medium, and My house is surrounded by Mechanical Islands and Lots and lots of water.
RH: Anyways, get your prototyping stuff ready, your going to enter the medium!!
RH: That is... If you manage to avoid being hit by a giant piece of space rock
RH: Later, got some exploring to do around my house

militantIchtyoid [mI] sent an open message to all:
MI: I got into the medium.
MI: sorry I was busy, I had to rescue my Dad.
MI: He was driving past a neighbor who's house disappeared, he lost half the car and had to be helped out of the hole.
MI: I was just in time, too. I almost got flattened by an Asteroid.
MI: I know, even those are glitched up.
MI: but that's not even the tip of the boat about to crash into the tip of the glitch iceberg.
MI: I was supposed to go to the Land of Plains and Herds, but I guess you need a Bison file for that.
MI: Here's what I got instead.

MI: I have my hands full for the time being, but I'll check back in as soon as I can.

MI: I got in.
MI: I had to hunt around for the card, you put it under the Cruxtruder and I had to cut a whole in the roof.
MI: It made a Cruxite Television, so I kicked it out the window.
MI: Can you see what my Land looks like?
MI: It's pretty crazy.
MI: I have these ghost buffalo things everywhere
MI: like they didn't render properly.
MI: Oh shit what if I need a weapon?
MI: I don't do much Strifing, but I picked up Boomkind so I can wield boom mikes instead of equipping them, makes it easier when I'm filming.
MI: I guess that'll have to do.
MI: How's everything on your end?
