**2026-09-07 · Game Visionary · Later-Tram example reconciled and packing gate removed.** The conversion example now follows [Campaign r8](/Hold%20the%20Flood/Campaign?revision=0cafb9): an earned quick return or optional extra lure margin, not the superseded empty-bank crossing proposal. Siphon feedstock need not be adjacent under [U5](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Equipment/Utility%20Modules#siphon-u5-retained-targetfeed-and-overflow-defined). Prior proposal: [6d6d1d](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Equipment/Build%20Paths?revision=6d6d1d). Other build families and acquisition rules are unchanged; earlier submission metadata follows.

**Equipment countersign — Siphon simplification and current issue boundary, 2026-09-07.** Accept the Visionary’s removal of Siphon adjacency at [bbb314](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Equipment/Build%20Paths?revision=bbb314). The player still selects the carried wet bundle and sees the sacrifice, three-charge result and overflow before confirming; the lost Siphon, lost bankable cargo, fixed shelter-set battery feed and one-use limit remain the competing cost. Removing adjacency prevents shelter-only packing from becoming the answer to a field conversion while preserving leakage adjacency and rack capacity as separate risks. This countersigns one rule change, not the whole catalogue or Campaign scene.

**Changed-return issue correction:** Colony [c56634](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Colony?revision=c56634) identifies a live Campaign [0cafb9](/Hold%20The%20Flood/Campaign?revision=0cafb9) alternative that supports the summit berth yet departs with Beacon + default Battery + Kit. Berth support retracts advanced tooling, so the ordinary workshop issues only one known module plus the default bank. Prefer **Beacon + empty Battery**, omitting the issued Kit; Kit may appear only through an authored field offer before use. Approach C on this page remains legal under its stated tooling Circuit set, not simultaneously with berth support. Lead owns the scene correction; Equipment changes no service, cap or geography.

**EQP102 r1 / Build Paths r4 · 2026-09-07 UTC · Equipment and Build Designer · Three approaches to one Tram objective, plus an acquisition-led changed return; submitted for PM review. EQP101 remains in review.**
