Wasteland 0.2.90 - Stake Your Claim

The wastes can be worked while you are gone. Walk up to any resource seam out in the zones and press U: stake a CLAIM on that ground, then bolt a PROSPECTOR RIG to it. Feed the rig refined fuel and it picks the node over while you range - common and standard finds only, banked in its tray for your return. It pulls about 45% of what your own hands would, holds a day's work at most before it stops, and grinds itself down over three days of running until you patch it with scrap. It teaches you nothing: a machine buys time, never mastery, and the deep prizes still take a pair of hands. Your stakes and rigs stand on the ground they work, so you can read RUNNING, COLD or BROKEN from across the flat. Also: GUTMAW, THE MARROW OGRE has learned to answer a lone survivor. Every move he owned needed a crowd to bunch up or a kiter to run, so anyone who walked straight into his reach fought a statue for half the fight. He now drops his head and GORE-CHARGES the nearest body - three squares in a straight line, telegraphed before it lands. Step off the line and it whiffs.
