I wonder what a good adobe block crew could do if their blocks were
ready made and just laying them out with mud.

They'd run rings around a mud-spitting machine every day of the week.

What "we" need is an adobe mud brick-making-and-drying machine. Just
dump in straw, mud, & water and it mixes/compresses/shapes/dries the
bricks in minutes.
