Heh, thanks for the thoughts. I've been on the fence as to whether to provide symbols or not. If I do, then [Steam] will be a puff of steam/cloud/smoke, and [Torque] will either be an arrow going in a circle, or a cogwheel. [Radiation], though, I'd rather not be the radioactive hazard symbol, for two reasons: 1) it's meant to encompass beams of visible light as well, as on (((Minister of Illumination))), and 2) the second or third set will introduce power type [Atomic] :)
(I'm planning to make it easier to talk about the power types too. For the moment, if you write
[Radiation]it appears as "Radiation"; you have to put a backslash before it to have it come out with the square brackets, like this:\[Radiation]-> [Radiation].)Hm. Actually, I tried writing a few cards referring to "radiation energy" and "your energy pool" and so on, and I don't like it. It sounds too much like it could be talking about magical, mystical energy, rather than alchemical/technological energy. So I think I'll stick with power for the moment.
After a few readings, yes, that makes sense :)
It was a somewhat deliberate decision to let this cycle vary a bit more than some of the stricter power cycles. At the moment the order they generate each other's power in doesn't follow the colour cycle, but goes more where I could find a reasonable flavour. But your proposal makes some sense, so I'll give a bit of thought to how I might tighten up the cycle if I wanted.
Both (((Electrolytic Chamber))) and (((Recycling Patrol))) turn
or the 
energy into the 
energy. Could you make the whole cycle do that (turn C, or C's-allied-colours'-energy, into one-of-C's-energies)?
Did that make sense?
Cycle consisting of Birthing Chamber, (((Scalding Conduvent land ver))) or (((Scalding Conduvent creature ver))), Gyrocopter Puffer, (((Wind-Up Harness))), and (((Electrolytic Chamber))) or (((Recycling Patrol))). (The idea being that there's one artifact land in the cycle, either Scalding Conduvent or Electrolytic Chamber; two artifact creatures, including either Scalding Conduvent or Recycling Patrol; an equipment and a noncreature artifact. I haven't decided which way round I want the land and the creature yet.
If you get all five, you go infinite in lots of ways at once, like the Fifth Dawn Stations, Blasting Station and friends. But even just two or three of this cycle plug together; and of course they work as both sources and sinks for the power symbols.
