But in various places around the castle you can find: Technological Advance: Irrigation, Rel...

Jim this is a really cool approach to the new 'cheese wedge' 1x1 slopes and it almost made me tear apart the cockpit of a microscale spacecraft to use a variation of this instead, unfortunately it wouldn't work as they would fall out of the back, but I will use this in future! Thanks for an interest...
