Waiting? Not in my dictionary!

"For now, let's just get some of them produced," Theo narrated his own experience to the audience of his own ears as he left the new branch of the factory and went all the way back to where a small number of machines continued to process the richstone he manually excavated.

Even now, several days after he set the whole thing up, those poor machines continued to toil away at this nearly impossible task of processing all the stone Theo continued to excavate over and over again. And whenever they would make a dent in the stockpile, turning the copious amount of richstone into bags of cement for Theo's own use…

He would transfer even more of the stone that he excavated directly into the storage unit hooked up to the system. And then, before even going back to mining out the underground tunnels, Theo did it again and again, repeating the process all the way until he could get rid of all the richstone lingering in his backpack.
