Activates a device (e.g., blast furnace, stove) to initiate a process like heating. Use this skill when you have placed materials inside a device and need to start its operation. Takes a device name as input and outputs a confirmation of activation, enabling tasks that require energy input or material processing to progress.

Skill: Device Activator

Purpose

Activate a device (turn it on, start it, fire it up) to begin its operation — typically heating, processing, or powering a task step.

Core Workflow

  1. Verify Contents: look at <DEVICE_NAME> to confirm materials are placed inside.
  2. Check State: Observation should show "which is turned off" or "which is deactivated."
  3. Activate: activate <DEVICE_NAME>
  4. Verify Activation: look at <DEVICE_NAME> — confirm it now reads "turned on" or "activated."
  5. Monitor (if needed): Use measurement tools (e.g., use thermometer on <MATERIAL>) to track progress.
  6. Deactivate When Done: deactivate <DEVICE_NAME>

Key Actions

ActionPurpose
look at <DEVICE>Verify contents and device state
activate <DEVICE>Turn on / start the device
deactivate <DEVICE>Turn off the device when done
use TOOL on OBJMonitor material state during processing

Example

Task: Melt lead in a blast furnace.

  1. look at blast furnace — confirms: metal pot with lead inside, furnace is turned off
  2. activate blast furnace
  3. look at blast furnace — confirms: "which is turned on"
  4. use thermometer on lead — monitor temperature
  5. look at blast furnace — observe: "a substance called liquid lead" (melting complete)
  6. deactivate blast furnace

Important Notes

  • Most devices are pre-opened. Do not use open or close unless the observation indicates a closed door.
  • Always verify activation succeeded before proceeding to the next task step.
