Flake Cannon

` The Flake Cannon is a Treatment machine, used only in Powder Room by a Doctor to cure patients with Private Parts. It is first made available in Pointy Pass, which requires the Speedy Recovery DLC.

Appearance
The Flake Cannon sits on a dark grey base in three rectangular section; the central one being a shallow ramp, and all three bearing a light grey surface. The lower section features a control box resembling the cabin of a yellow snow plough, with a black base and bumper with red lights, a side exhaust to the right, and a large light metal shovel mounted on the front. Inside the cabin is a single brown seat, a dark grey foot mat, two metal pedals, and a large lever with a red ball on top.

The ramp features a dark grey rectangle which is covered in a patch of snow. The upper section takes the appearance of a boiler, with a red frame, a dark grey box section, and a large light grey exhaust tube sticking out of the top and turning back towards the centre, with a dark grey rim.

The Flake Cannon II adds a second side exhaust to the cabin for a matching pair. The grey boiler box receives a small matching-coloured box to each side with a grey button, above each of which hands two grey tubes, and on top, a pair of dark grey aerials.

The Flake Cannon III further adds to the cabin a pair of red furry dice with white spots.

Function
The doctor will direct the patient to step onto the patch of snow, and then to start making snow angels. Pulling the lever will cause the snow plough to shove the patient unceremoniously into the boiler, causing the exhaust tube to begin to undulate. In a spray of cold vapour, the patient will be deposited back onto the snow patch, their treatment complete.

Maintenance
The Flake Cannon loses 5-10% of its maintenance gauge with each use. Once the gauge falls below 50%, a Janitor will automatically be called to repair it. A janitor can be summoned manually by the player by selecting the machine and pressing.

Should the maintenance gauge fall below 15%, the machine will catch fire. A janitor will need to use an Extinguisher to put this out before the gauge reaches zero; if it is allowed to do so, the machine will explode, leaving wreckage which must be sold and replaced with a new machine before the room can resume functioning.

Upgrades
Upgrades are performed by a Janitor with the Mechanics Qualification. The machine will not be accessible while this work is being done, although it can be interrupted and resumed without losing progress.

Staff
A will be required to run the Powder Room, and by extension the Flake Cannon.

In addition, a will be required to maintain the machine, with  in order to provide upgrades.
