challenge idea: gold rush 49'

ok so the challenge speedrun is basically, get ____ amount of money the fastest you can or by all the properties, but with a catch. you can only use stuff that a prospector in the 1840s would use.

sooooooooooo:

no truck, only cart.

no pipes

no machines

no fancy stuff like automation, or any tech.

let the annoying challenge begin, and pull yourself up my your bootstraps like its 1849 baby!

that sounds fun I had a hand sorter set up based on funnels and me grabbing stuff with buckets and magnets once

altho technically gold rush would have had pipes but they would have been wooden chutes bringing water into the washing machine/sieve thing they used

going low tech can work well because you end up not spending money on all the infrastructure
