Kidfinifactory 2.2 - Welders Stall

A good time to teach your kid how to use platforms to stall blocks (in this case, in order to weld them).

GROUP DESCRIPTION: Kidfinifactory is a set of Infinifactory puzzles aimed at young players and designed to allow them to gradually explore the tools of the game at a much more gentle pace.

BACKGROUND: My daughter just turned 6. She knows that I've been playing "the factory game" and always asks to see the "contraptions" I'm working. I show her and then she asks how it works. So I show her how my big machine builds terrestrial drones or furnished apartments or skip drives. She marvels and wants to try herself.

I let her play the first few levels of Proving Grounds and she is in love. The only trouble, as I'm sure you're aware, is that the actual Infinifactory game progresses through its easy difficulty levels very quickly. My daughter was struggling by the end of Proving Grounds and likely wouldn't get very far in Skydock 19. But I still wanted her to be able to have fun exploring these concepts, just at a *much* more gradual pace.

So I created what I'm calling Kidfinifactory, levels geared at very young players to help them get a sense of the tools available very gradually, while keeping much of the open-ended nature of the game solutions alive.

The first 10 will explore the Conveyor. That's it. Super basic. I think there's a stamper in there too.

The next 10 will involve welders, platforms, grinders, and rotators. Nothing complex, just basic welds and simple grinds.

After that, some simple sensor/pusher stuff. Maybe a couple lifter levels (my daughter *loves* the idea of the lifter). And some meat packing (she was delighted at both meat gathering enterprises in the real game).
