Automaton Table
Carl's stolen level-five fabrication table can build programmed robots from production recipes once rare mechanical components are supplied.
Story so far
Carl stole the table and its manual from the CrawlCon production facility. No one has reclaimed them, but he copies every recipe into his scratchpad and The Bomber's Cookbook as insurance.
The table's immediate limitation is parts rather than knowledge. Carl owns partial materials for many designs but only completes Spider Stalker automatons after buying a rare case of driveshafts while leaving the Desperado Club. He expects better component access once the trapped hunters leave its second floor.
Appearance
A level-five mechanical worktable with interchangeable tools, parts trays, and a large recipe interface.
Role
The table converts Carl's stolen production knowledge into programmable remote weapons.
