Diog are rivets a thing in Ur?

examine the incomplete tube- is there anything we can identify that could be what ‘locks’ it into the wall- and how it could be ‘unlocked’

are there any sections of wall that have spirals in them?

How the gently caress did we not know about the screw though? :psyboom:

We're going to crow about it and on the way back we'll stop at some Blooded Water Pump and just feel like the biggest goddamn idiots.

In real life the screw wasn't known (to the Greeks, so Western historians pretend that's the same as all of humanity, someone in Egypt probably invented it a century or two before) until like 500 BC-ish. We're 2000 years ahead of the curve on knowing it exists.

Although the compound pulley was invented a few centuries after the screw and Baitel has those so lol they definitely know screws exist and just aren't sharing.

Just lol if you don't have two of those in your house.'interesing that Carine's is reddish, that would be a major faux pad in my area.

Any medieval weaponry expert here? :

Could screws help with the slingspult issue? Maybe they could help the wood survive higher efforts?

The problem with the crossbows Ashael/Esher invented was that they were too slow to reload. Could some sort of hand crank screw based thing help with that?

The wood would break regardless probably. We have nails to fix wood together but regardless of how much we slap on it it will break over time.

Also cranks are pretty drat complex and I don't think we've combined the wheel and wedges to make gears yet have we?

Adjustable vise grips, clearly. The jaws are at an angle for ease of use in telescope manufacturing. Sort of like a combo vise grip/tongue and groove pliers.

OH BOY, LEMME TALK ABOUT THIS

screws as they are could probably assist in ensuring the slingapult does not fall apart at the seams where you put the wood together, but as I remember part of the problem is the wood shattering from the force which I believe to be a problem with the lumber we are using moreso than our construction methods

a cranequin crossbow works using gears and wheels and we could conceivably create it..... if we make complex pulley systems

It's one of the simple machines, a Bnaimokt remover. You simply smash a Bnaimokt in the head two or three times and poof, Bnaimokt removed.

Still need to use the Bnaimokt corpse remover afterwards. Hopefully we'll be able to combine those two tools soon to save space.

then the problem is then getting the systems small enough to actually winch a crossbow string back, not to mention making a metal crossbow string, not to mention a strong enough arm

And that's screws as Pumps/presses. Screws as fasteners only goes back to around the 15th century.
