I can understand people who are upset because the machine seems unnecessary, but by that logic, we should only have one machine. Two, perhaps, if you want to separate science from magic. However, I think we all agree (or all of us that are intelligent enough to have an opinion that matters) that there should be a ramp-up to the top tier items. Hence the reason we have the extra machine/two machines. Once you have the shadow manipulator, the game becomes relatively easy, and you're nigh indestructible. This is just one more barrier to prevent you from having certain items before the first winter hits. As for everyone who is complaining about living logs, quit bitching. You kill two treeguards, and you have enough for both machines. I would expect you to run into at least four or five before Day 30.
