Multiple lifters

[shubla]

Some objects cannot be moved, like extraction press.
Maybe it's too heavy?
I have a solution.

Make extraction press (and some other heavy things) liftable only by 2 hearthlings. Both have to lift it for it to move, and then it moves to the direction that is average of where 2 people who lift it click.

Would be great fun lifting them!

Str could affect to the speed like it does now but just sum of 2, maybe str could also make the press move a bit more in the direction of click, if the other lifter has less str.

Here is an illustration of what I mean!

I like how they are happy.

only with 2 verified accounted!

Just needs an appliance dolly. Even the Ancient Egyptians knew about levers.

liftable only by 2 hearthlings....Would be great fun lifting them!

Fun in theory (and only the first time I reckon), just one more incentive to use alts in practice.

... then it moves to the direction that is the average ... Would be great fun

Spooky fun, for sure.

This entire game was designed to incentivize using alts.


I think instead of averaging the two directions they should just reuse the vehicle mechanic. where the the lifted object becomes a pseudo vehicle and the first person to try and lift the object acts as the driver much like boats.

Genious idea, it would be probably quite easy to do some hack where extraction presses etc. are converted to vehicles that would require 2 people in them, and model would look like you'd be carrying it!

Seem to make more sense to add some dolly item and lever to me.

Or we have to wait for the devs to invent watermills to force move unliftables by ropes and pulleys
