Pipes doesn't produce limitless fluid, it just transports fluid that something else produces. There's no indication that the vending machines produce phones at limitless rates.

I think it does produce infinite fluid, because it has been mentioned it can put out Tybalt's milkshake, and he has to summon each cup, so that likely wouldn't work otherwise. Here is the perk text:

Dynamic Waterworks (Personal Reality) (100 WP)
This is a strange one, but say you have an infinite source of some liquid and you want it pumped from wherever you source it through your Personal Reality, this Pipes Pipes Pipes Upgrade is for you. The plumbing hookups for your Reality now support up to six additional inputs from sources you must personally supply, and run those feeds through your Reality. If you have Central Control, they can even be mixed in precise ratios at each distribution point. So, say you had an infinite supply of cocoa and an infinite supply of peppermint schnapps... you could set the system to dispense cocoa from all the brown faucets, peppermint schnapps from all the red & white faucets, and spiked hot chocolate toddies from the brown & red faucets... and could even tell it to make the mix in your office stronger than the mix in the staff break-room. While this can be combined with Water World to a degree, that degree is only to use the hose network to dispense a reasonably vast quantity of 'unlimited liquid x'... say enough chocolate to make a small river... not to flood the planet... unless your source for that unlimited liquid specifies 'absolutely unlimited'... generally speaking, if it's for personal or even industrial use... it's not good enough. Global usage at the very limit required for full Water World Integration.

Chosen of Death.

When Mahasamatman began to formulate his plans against the rule of heaven, to overthrow the established order and bring about a world more closely aligned to his own desires, one of his strongest allies became Yama-Dharma, Death. But not all of those that could be called his "Chosen" followed him into this rebellion, though doubtless some did.

The question, of course, is how much this life Apeiron will remember, and if he does so, how he will have perceived the various questions that presented themselves in that world. Sam himself changed his mind a few times on the major issues, esp. after having experienced his soul surviving as sapient radiation. Yama himself was of a more practical bent, and not being the viewpoint character, we are unsure how self-reflective he was. But there are many choices the could have faced Yama's various disciples.

Did he join in the unsuccessful first rebellion, perhaps surviving and assisting Yama in creating the great prayer machine in the Monastery of Ratri that returned Sam to physical existence? Or did he stand with heaven, perhaps perishing in the slaughter of the 50 demigods sent to delay Sam as he tried to break thru the holy gates? Perhaps he had already perished in an earlier skirmish? Or did he, as many other, switch sides, opposing the rebellion at first, then supporting it after the "miraculous" return and the unruly chaos that swept Heaven as a result? Or was he one who remained loyal to the end, perhaps one of those Priests of Yama whom Yama murdered when they dared try to bar him from using his own temple, quoting his own laws and regulations back at him?

Also, how will LordR present the "Divine or only fake divine" question that is the heart of the Lord of Light story. He has earlier stated that he follows the language of the Jumpchain document, which is pretty clearly on the pro-Divine side of the issue. But, he also follows what the setting itself says, which is why he insists on being familiar with all the settings he uses Perks from. And the book is decidedly.. ambivalent and fluid on the subject, despite Sam himself having quite clearly believed "Yes, we are totally faking it" at the beginning.



At any rate, this is definitely one of those perks that would have had a much more pronounced effect earlier in the story, but that could be said for most of them. Right now, it might have a greater impact on those souls currently in Apeiron's possession than anything else. I believe LordR has stated the Enigmatic Artificer already knew how to make the reincarnation machines from his "The Divine Machines" perk, but this one should certainly give him more perspective on them, so he might actually schedule making new bodies for those poor Fallen London souls, as well as any that have come to the Warehouse as their afterlife.

I admit when I see the notice, I fear the next one. Why?

To whom it may concern.
Due to Health & Family Reasons the Author has Fallen ill and will not be able to continue the story until he has recovered from his untimely coma.

My Condolences.

🙏🤮

I am not wishing ill on the author, just hoping they take care of themselves in stressful times.

I had a question from a few chapters ago, when given the platforms from Victor(guy who can steal skills) the lady noticed one was flakey, if she noticed it wouldn't Survey notice it as well? Unless it was thrown first? also with the 4 pretty much identical platforms suddenly showing up wouldn't that ring some kind of alarm bells or did it just escape notice?

It's not a burden for us to start a re-read in delayed anticipation.

Lol. Or try to work our way through all of the omake's.

Roust, you take as much time as you need. While this story is great, your well-being is WAY more important. Hope things start to improve. I know it sounds hokey but I'm sure pretty much everyone here wants to wish you a better time of it.

That platform was the first to be destroyed, as per WOG.
