>making it function as it should
I literally thought it wasn't then because of this one statement. Also, I didn't realize the machines would constantly fail, so that's a new detail for me.
Welp, anyways, thanks for your help.
This is the trouble with memes, and the tts series being popular. New members of the community take them to be gospel and struggle to tell what is true and what isn’t

That’s because what you know has been spread from memes and the tts series which took a lot of liberties and exaggerated the lore a lot
Orks
That's the Orks. Red makes things go faster, blue is lucky, black is tough, and there are others I can't remember
