Mildly confused about the use of Akashic records

Post by janIpen »

Heyy guys, I'm. Relatively new here and I thought the Akashic records would be much more powerful

Honestly, I expected you to be able to just draw a pattern stored in an Akashic bookshelf and it would run that pattern, however sadly it's not that simple and you need to do a lot of work to do that. You need to have the co-ordinates of the Akashic Record block (probably on a Thought Knot), and run four extra hexes (see below). Could a future consideration be to add this functionality (probably with binding a record to yourself to prevent conflicts)? I'd give examples but I'm not sure how to create hex images in bbcode itself

Ah, this feature has already been suggested, however in the meantime I'm still not sure how useful these are in general
