Bathroom excesories? not sure what to call it

Postby Try∞ » Sun Jun 10, 2018 7:44 pm

A toilet, not modern but rather the old fashion a stool with a hole since I think would it would match the setting of the game that is based in, welll the suppsoed year and technology wise. Unless jorb and loftar want to make it more modern looking which could be either place inside or outside in those WC boxes.
Now the benefits of having a toilet would be, well in idea that it would decrease hunger, not sure how would they do, but just maybe if you log out with your charatcer sitting on a toilet the hunger would be decreasing by 2% or something like that its up to you guys and devs to decide what would best for the game or/and you. And for example if your character stays too long on a toilet it they would get a wound, well the obvious one lol. Or they could do it so the hunger is decreased only once per use of cenrtain amount of time like every log in of every second day 10% decresed from the hunger, I dunno, but I think it would be cool.

A bath tub that could be either placed indoors or outdoors, heck maybe even a pool if devs want to. The bathtub could be filled with watter and maybe have fire to place underneath to warm it up, so hearthling could have a nice warm bath. Also since devs have already added bar of soap, the soap could be added to the water filled bath to make it bubbly. While the bath is warm and bubbly the player could jump in and over time while the bath is hot and bubbly, all the infectios wounds and other wounds would heal overtime. Or for example convert into other wounds that heal by themselves over time. Heck devs could even add a sponge, but not sure what it could be made from so player could wash themselves.

What do you guys and devs think of these 2? Since I suppose you guys/devs get the main premesies of my suggestions.

Also I think that shower wouldn't fit the game evviroment unless devs would go all out and made use full barrel of water as source of water for the shower and a lit fire under it as a heat source and also could be placed outdoors and indoors. So yea I think that these bathroom stuff, not sure what to call it them would add further content to the them. Like different soap types, wounds and other if anyone else have anything more to add or change about these suggestions.

Re toilet: maybe "night soil" could be used for something? Or cause diseases? Make us take care of sanitation, it would be interesting! It's a historically important problem!

Bathing would imo be fun to add. Apparently the vikings were known in their time for their comparative cleanliness.

It is reported in the chronicle attributed to John of Wallingford that the Danes, thanks to their habit of combing their hair every day, of bathing every Saturday and regularly changing their clothes, were able to undermine the virtue of married women and even seduce the daughters of nobles to be their mistresses (internet source)


So, bathing could increase cha significantly, enough that people would do it before feasts maybe. We could also have a "comb" item that increases cha when used. The comb could be used on yourself or on another person. "The sagas often describe a woman washing a man's hair for him, often as a gesture of affection."

Did people use bathtubs for bathing back in the day, though? Didn't they use buckets or something like that?

Natural hot springs would imo be very nice to add, and could give people reasons to go to specific locations outside.

Saunas might be another option.

wikipedia wrote:Saunas were common all over Europe during the Middle Ages. Due to the spread of syphilis and subsequent scare of the disease in the 1500s, the sauna culture died out on most of the continent. Finland was a notable exception to this due to the epidemic not taking a strong hold in the area, which is a key reason why the sauna culture is nowadays largely perceived as Finnish.

+1
for hot springs and others that you have just mentioned. I really like the idea, but wouldn't it be better if there were natural hot springs and built hot springs, but natural hot springs would be superior though.

Also yea bath, well large bath like bowls were used back in those day and same for toilets, but showers are more modern invention, even though, what would you really define as a shower, since its in theory a running water above your head, which brings down the definiton of it down to its roots of purpose and/or the way it is used.

Poop mechanics suggestions have been exhausted. Why it didn't make the "10 things to stop suggesting" list, I don't know. The devs have clearly made their statements on it in the past. (Well, maybe not clearly, but clearer than mud, at least.)

As far as saunas and such: viewtopic.php?f=48&t=47207&p=765543&hilit=sauna#p765543
Opinions expressed in this statement are the authors alone and in no way reflect on the game development values of the actual developers.
