— THE GREEN PORCELAIN ARCHIVES —
You have entered the repository of the Big Machines. We seek to solve these kinetic, electrodynamic, and altruistic puzzles to unlock the powers necessary to secure our Analog Sovereignty.
Notice to all Guilds: Class-1, Class-2, and WonderWorks submissions are strictly for educational purposes. To achieve Canonization, your submission must be a modular, DIY Assembly Kit. Pre-assembled replicas will be rejected. The end-user must experience the friction of assembly. Only Class-3 (Heavy Iron) artifacts are commissioned as finished masterworks.
Patent No. 635,175 // Educational
Design a modular, 3D-printable assembly kit for Mowery's 1899 solar model. Your objective: Calculate the 99-tooth internal gear to maintain Earth's axial tilt.
Syntropy Yield
7,500 SP + Royalties
Patent No. 454,622 // Aetheric Arts
Capture the aether. Design a safe, low-voltage educational kit demonstrating Nikola Tesla's 1891 alternating-current generator. Vanguard Initiates must master the winding of primary and secondary copper coils.
Syntropy Yield
8,500 SP + Royalties
Unpatented Heritage // 1861
Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr. invented immersive media but refused to patent it, leaving it to the world. Design a modular, 3D-printable optical frame that precisely aligns dual lenses for stereoscopic viewing.
Syntropy Yield
6.000 SP + Royalties
Patent No. 199,470 // Masterwork
A kinetic battery. Reconstruct Josef Schreiber's 1878 dual-spring continuous power motor as a fully functional, finished art piece. Requires Institutional Sovereignty.
Institutional Yield

Unpatented // Circa 1837 - 1910
The Holy Grail of Analog Sovereignty. Charles Babbage drafted the blueprints; his son Henry forged the Mill in 1910. The rest of the machine remains unbuilt. The Chief Archivist is currently digitizing the Science Museum's surviving paper folios. When the translation is complete, the Vanguard will be called to finish the engine.
