Speed up Government Item build time

Postby DatOneGuy » Wed Oct 13, 2010 5:57 pm

Banners/Statues/Crossroads are a real bitch to build, super slow and a pain in the ass, would like to see them sped up a bit if possible. :|

i believe this was made as a anit-macro thing, since most of em req " a lot " of mats, it would be a way to farm lp, for example, the idol, wich req 600 stones, if it was to be faster then it would mean that is a actualy way to gain lp, all you need is a boulder, some bread or beer and thats it.

Actually the slower it builds per material, the more LP you gain as evident from the loom-catcher macro which takes 10 seconds to build per material. This means making it faster actually would cause authority items to give less LP.
If you keep focusing on the shadow behind, you will not see the light in front of you.

Being successful isn't just about hard work and succeeding, it is also about picking yourself up when you fail.

He didn't mention the idol. Besides, you wouldn't need more idols for your village. The banner and crossroads are relatively few materials, and while the statues are 100 stones (not that that is really a lot), you'd still need a soldier sword for them to be of any practical use. Plus, there are many, many more efficient ways of farming lp than the slow, low lp gain of government items.

I agree with OP.

didn't that change when they switched it from LP per time to LP per item built?

Yes, which is why the dreamcathcer macro doesn't work anymore.

Tested after changing the Loom shit so it couldn't be macro'd:
Code: Select all
Built        Item        LP    Time

Loom         branch     55    10s
Cheese Rack     branch    20    5s
Churn        branch        19    5s
Wicker Basket    branch        15    3s
Wooden Plow    branch        11    2s
Dream Catcher    branch        55    10s
Milestone    stone        12    2s
Beehive        block        16    3s
Chair        block        22    4s
Battering Ram    block        11    2s
Cart        block        16    4s
Boat        block        19    4s
Wagon        block        12    3s
chicken coop    block        18    4s
Clay Cauldron    block        17    4s
Palisade    block        12    3s
Torchpost    block        19    4s
Spinning Wheel    block        17    4s
Sturdy Bed    block        11    2s
Winepress    block        18    4s


Make it give less LP, who gives a shit, just want them made,faster, I don't see anyone complaining that you don't get enough LP from them, I wasn't even aware they gave any because I didn't care at all.

I've been starting a project and I need to cover a lot of land and I find that doing steel is more pleasant to me than doing hemp, but the time it takes to build one just makes me rage :evil: .
