interssting Idea... much more applicable on a smaller scale currently tho. The cost in maintaining a complex machine large enough to do a house and exotic materials that would be needed would equal or surpass normal house building costs.

Well if you really stop and think about it just beceause it may be forgotten as a emans to build a house it may be picked back up as a means to produce something else.Hell potato chips were created by..I belive it was a french chef, who was angered by a customer who kept sending his potatos back to the kitchen asking they be cut thinner and cooked longer. Potato chips were invented beceause the chef had intended to anger the customer.

Fuck this idealistic BS. This is just another failed "quick-fix" that won't happen in the real world. It will be forgotten in another year or so.

I've seen animation of it inserting rebar, plumbing, electric, and so on. But I have yet to see it don't IRL.

There aren't any doors because a rectangular door will just collapse in the process. The developer could have made a door. I know if I made a machine like that, mine will be able to do it.

Is it possible to insert reinforcing rods without it poking out the side while it's being pushed in? |
