Love the new chapter, particularly the sunless sea special colors 
like how somethings being done with those, they are very interesting and not usually seen
like how somethings being done with those, they are very interesting and not usually seenHey, does anyone have or know of a list of all the things Joe has made, or been gifted by his powers? I've seen the power list(s) but those don't really differentiate when they give out items, nor do they describe later upgrades, and they completely ignore things like Thurin-Ist or the Undersiders' knives.
I think the problem with making such a list is we don't know everything Joe has made. For example he and the duplicates made dozens of elemental test weapons but we only really see a few of them and who knows how many were melted down for their enchantments. Lord has also spent less time going over every piece of Joe's gear since it's mostly a rounding error compared to Joe just manifesting a mech powered by spiral power.

It's been a while. Maybe I'll try and compile a list for my next reread.
anyone else realize how many bricks will be shat if any knowledge of his workshop leaks?
● massive robot army used for grunt work ✔️
● entire worlds with functional biomes ✔️
● countless mega structure workshops ✔️
● massive super duper computer core ✔️
● miscellaneous arcane and eldritch things beyond comprehension ✔️
● Doomsday plan ✔️
● assorted world ending specimen or objects ✔️
dudes got shelves of souls tucked away somewhere so every possible "OH SHIT" button is pressed multiple times.

I mean, with the super weapon, he doesn't realize it but it would basically end the story. It would give him COMPLETE control of over all of shard space.
You know, "oh endbringer? Power off" or "oh Sion is a problem? OK done, I turned off all his shards" or even "oh all these cities were destroyed? Let's just use all these time shards to undo that too."
It's literally the answer to every single problem in Worm all at once.
And Joe for once doesn't realize just how big it is.

There's so many ultimately tiny details about the Celestial Forge that would have so many bricks shat if anyone not already a member actually learned about it. Literally this chapter they went, "Okay so we can't use the easy option of Grand Theft Passenger. So we are going to use one of the secondary plans of
A. Use the eldritch colors to use literal reality manipulation.
B. Mind control Jack's Passenger with Joe's incredible mental abilities.
C. Invent passenger hacking.
D. Make a worldwide anti master effect device."
Because of course all of these options are so much more measured and reasonable.

The alternative is killing/depowering an international hero and the daughter of someone incredibly important to him.

As well as using a sapient being - albeit an alien and hostile one - as construction material
Some people fly a rocket to the moon. Others just move the planet in order to capture the moon on a null gravity field outside of Houston. Potato, potahto.
Yeah, that's why it's actually the more reasonable and measured option. It's just ridiculous that it is in comparison.

If we account for Spiral bullshit, which level of Mantra Joe needs to do that?
The Froggy Ninja
The Blade Will Never Die
Is there any reason he isn't just scaling down the multiplier once they get close to the end of their duration? He'd be missing out on some amount of progress, but I don't think they're on a strict enough time crunch to start spreading butter over too much bread like that.
Probably because that would still leave them to burn through one-hundred-and-ninety-percent of their intended duration.
Personally I was thinking that he could probably subtly use the Megaman Armor that can teleport in and out of the Workshop to swap out new clone batches.

I think I may have said something like this was, way upthread, but I see how Joe views Aisha versus Taylor like this:
Joe: "Hmm... Looks like Aisha's current build can only deal with one S-Class threat at a time. Better get working on some upgrades."
Joe: "I know this is only a sharp pointy stick, but I'm really worried what havok Taylor might wreak with it. Maybe give her a fluffy pillow instead."
If Aisha is fighting multiple S-Class threats I'm sure she has a perfectly good reason to be doing so. In turn we sadly never know if Taylor is going to decide to dismember some poor Ward with a pointy stick or something.

He could just ask to use the restroom and portal from there (after making sure the room is secure), or maybe use the key to open one of the stalls or something but Joe remains as Joe as possible so this probably wouldn't occur to him.

She'll probably use it with her bugs to suffocate someone or something
Taylor will spam spider scare with a pillow, do NOT test that girl
I think that Taylor has already moved far beyond needing to dismember most people to subdue them; dismemberment is probably reserved for people like Dragon or Alexandria or Legend or Hookwolf and the like.
Probably also still Aegis but that's probably more of a matter of convenience at this point since he can take that sort of brutality.
That would involve him going to the bathroom every twenty minutes is one of the issues with that; probably better for him to be able to reverse-telefrag them. Especially since they sort of already do that when they spawn.
He'd still want to be able to get into the Workshop to spawn them, so as to clone some equipment alongside them, but it's good to have the option.
Actually as long as he's not spawning them alongside equipment he might be able to just clone his brain, or even just soul, and teleport them into pre-made bodies. I'm sure that Survey would love the opportunity to acquaint Joe with a variety of test-bed bodies outfitted with a bunch of experimental components.
Nope; Bag Of Holding Spiders remember?
Speaking of which I bet that Fleet or Survey or...Really anyone with the necessary skills would be willing to make some Mechashift containers for pretty much anyone with one of Joe's watches; Taylor could probably get herself a bottomless hive or terrarium if she asked...Actually you know I bet that Fleet could inscribe the method of making Mechashift into insect pheromones so that they build Mechashift hives themselves...Survey and Matrix could probably inscribe it into the bodies of the Sea Snails so that their shells just never stopped growing despite not getting any bigger.
Specifically the fabricators connected to them but I don't think that Joe has handed out any watches or fabricators that didn't have each other.

WoG on extra features of bag? It is in the hands of little miss escalation.
For example, I could see her using a reinforced and featherweight bag with a variable width opening to capture an opponent. Just lower the bag from overhead mid-fight and, boom, suddenly Rune is trapped upside-down in a canvas bag full of spiders, centipedes, wasps and beetles. Throw in a threat about being eaten by her pets if Rune continues to thrash around... and suddenly the S9 would be contacting Taylor to compliment her on her audition performance and to notify her that she'd been accepted onto the team.

When the duplicates are in the workshop with the time dilation cranked up, they have hours of subjective time, but for Joe outside the workshop it's 20 minutes before the duplicates start getting spiritually worn down.
The chapter where they tested it, the duplicates really didn't like it.
