Village Migration & Structure Disassembly

Postby CSPAN » Sun Mar 29, 2020 7:32 pm

For this idea, assume future worlds will begin with all players starting on the same continent.

At the beginning of this world, with along with quite a few others, I personally was not aware that everyone was jammed on one continent. I saw it was packed and everywhere I turned there for multiple encampments starting. Many of us under pressure to rush village and industry, did not know of this unexpected aspect of W12. Many villages including mine, might go through at least one or two locations before settling. And moving is a hassle that very few can be bothered with after the first few weeks into a fresh world. How could we make migration and village settlement easier while also creating a more dynamic experience to Haven and Hearth that doesn't necessarily break the game?

If we are to continue starting worlds on the same continent, I believe we must be able to migrate in a way that isn't too easy, but would manage to save time from having to completely rebuild structures and industry from a village set up. It should save time, but come with high risk.

THE IDEA:

It's not new. A quick search for 'deconstruction' has a few threads, but they are at minimum 10 years old. (I'm sure there are newer ones with different keywords.) But in my opinion, structures should be able to be deconstructed into movable "parts". The pieces could be similar to a stockpile, but of various ingredients (that couldn't be extracted) that require a unique method of transport. These parts would be more space efficient than stockpiles but serve only one purpose; to rebuild the structure it once was. These parts could be loaded to Snekkja or Knarr.

Being able to reasonably move a village would make for a better experience, make for a more risky, dramatic experience, and having "part kits" might be able to simplify trading of certain structures that arent liftable. Ultimately, it's an interesting idea to toy around with.

Thanks for reading. Add or take away from the topic below!
