  "kind": "building",
  "id": "static-rake",
  "role": "static-harvester",
  "name": "Static Rake",
  "footprint": "2.5×1.5 tiles",
  "function": "A remote one-worker apparatus combs charge from storm banks into portable Static while giving painful shocks to nearby residents.",
  "shape_and_silhouette": "A long low insulated bunker carries three tall parallel rake masts linked by a horizontal conductor bar, creating a sparse comb silhouette with no enclosed upper storey.",
  "visual_description": "Bruised-grey cloudstone and a black pumice frame form the narrow base, a recessed +Z entrance sits behind lightning-white ceramic baffles, blackened-copper masts rise from broad collars along the roof axis, branching conductor straps cross the side and rear walls, and a vapour-rope safety fence rings the working edge.",
  "production_notes": "This is improvised shelf-edge industrial equipment assembled away from homes, with scorched metal, replaceable ceramic beads, and conspicuous warning repairs valued above finish.",
  "departure": "Where other weather works gather through bowls or petals, the Static Rake is deliberately skeletal, linear, and hostile, with its empty gaps as important as its masts.",
  "shared_traits": [
    "Wind-rounded cloudstone masonry around a buoyant pumice frame.",
    "Copper fittings, vapour rope, and visible bands of repaired prism glass.",
    "Deep openings and a stable silhouette shaped for exposed cloud shelves."
  ],
  "constraints": [
    "The shielded main entrance faces +Z beneath the conductor line.",
    "Resolve the rear discharge cabinet, both end profiles, ceramic joints, roof straps, and fence gates.",
    "Keep the three rake masts straight and mechanically buildable from tapered rods, bars, collars, and beads."
  ],
  "idle_animation": "Small lightning-white sparks crawl intermittently between the rake teeth while the masts remain rigid and silhouette-stable.",
  "day_night": "In daylight the scorched copper reads nearly black, while at night weak violet corona halos outline the ceramic joints and occasional sparks flash white."
