Crates and crowbars

Postby shubla » Sat Mar 23, 2019 3:10 am

We should be able to build crates from wood.
One crate could store one stockpile. You could then seal the crate and then lift the crate and store it in a knarr for example.
You could open the crate with a crowbar and then get items of the stockpile out of it.
Crates would break when opened, so you couldnt re-seal them.

They would primarily be used for trading and transporting goods

Crates are already in the game.

Why not just use wheelbarrows?

Because thats ugly and stupid. They are valuable and stuff. Not very suitable for trading, because you cannot give them to the person that you are trading with.
I hate when people suggest some BAD alternative solutions to suggestions which are meant to improve the game.

We are talking about different type of crates here, did you even read the suggestion?

sounds nice, but why would they break when opened? chopping too many trees is not good for the hearthlands!

Maybe they could be re-used? I dont know.
I think making them relatively cheap, but 1 use only, would be nice.

I like the idea of some alternative to the wheelbarrow for long-distance transport of goods.

And I know everyone will hate the idea, but if something like this is introduced, full wheelbarrows shouldn't be liftable anymore.

Oh yeah, let's also implement forklifts, as these type of crates are meant to be used with one.

Yes, I read it. How can there be two object named crate in game? I think this can not be. There is already crate in game. You must come up with different name.
