In the time-period this game is based off of not only did they not use lawn mowers, they didn't give a shit about it either. Before the most primitive push mower SHEARS were used to shorten personal plots of grass.lordgrunt wrote:I know most will think of fuel powered lawn mowers we see often, but i've seen many examples when people were building lawn mowers without need for electricity or gas. Wheel movements were converted into rotary movement of cuttign blades just with simple gears, i think crafting of such device could be possible using plain metals and wood.
Purpose: mow grass and gain straw, sometimes maybe a random seed or two. Maybe a new curiosity to be found while doing it?
Mowing your lawn would of course require grass to coem in at least 2 states: fully grown and freshly mowed. Maybe after the grass is cut it could transform grassland into the yellow (forgot its name) kind of ground.

I value growth, life, adaption, and nature. I love to hunt, mate, kill, and eat--to me that's all there is. At my best I am instinctual and unpretentious. At my worst, I am vicious and unthinking. My symbol is a tree. My enemies are blue and black.

I could see myself mowing my lawn, greeeting Ainran as they are passing by on their latest killing spree. After my work is done I will sit in my chair on the frontporch then and read the newspaper. What a peaceful image of the hearthlands a lawn mower can create.

Re: Idea: Lawn mower
Cute idea, but as it's been said, it's kinda' pointless. A scythe could have this purpose, maybe.. Doubt it'll happen.
My son, walk not in the way unarmed; because thou knowest not when thy enemy shall come upon thee.
