What do you consider, aside from the category system, to be a signifier of a 'machinery' object as opposed to a 'gadget' object? What to you screams 'machinery' when you look at an item in DS, or 'gadget'? For me, a 'gadget' would be smaller and simpler-looking than a 'machinery' object. Does anyone else have any further ideas? My TCR Norns |

Gadgets can be picked up by creatures, can be made into larger machinery via connections. Ettins can steal them! Machinery is already large and probably cannot be connected, or only very limited connections. Creatures can't pick it up and it might be totally immovable. It has more parts than gadgets possibly with multiple displays. |

Basically what ylukyun said. Gadgets are small while machineries are a lot bigger, in the most cases pretty heavy and hardly movable, if at all. (I know that there is no weight variable, they simply look heavy  )Lets play plants! Photosynthesis... Photosynthesis... Photosynthesis... |

Machine is whatever you don't want your Ettins to steal   |

A gadget can be carried by the hand or by creatures. A machine is immobile. That's my fifty cents on the topic. |
