Allow us to quarry "menhirs"

Post by Hervarth »

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Menhir

Like boulders, but larger. I think they should require a special cartlike object to move them around, which can only be pushed by 2+ hearthlings. Or the object could be dragged by a bull, a la wagon. We should also be able to carve runes on them. Maybe this is hard to implement but could be an idea for future worlds?

This is "important" for artworks/hearthling built druidic temples and such.

That would be some cool shit decoration it would. Poor devs trying to bugfix, and we're just flooding them with ideas instead.

moreover, I can't log in right now to check (and my toaster can't handle that stuff anyway ;) ), but do shadows in game track the time of day? If so one could build a clock with these...
if they dont, they should!! :P

I'd really like the option to build immobile menhirs, like enormous runestones that can't be lifted or moved. Even better, using different metals and stones would enable them to be personalized, and if they could be read from the same distance as signs or greater, that would be even better.

I like this idea, if only as a way to bring back the appearance of the Charter Stones, since we won't be getting back the utility.

Sevenless: We already know real life has some pretty shitty game mechanics, it's why we're here instead.
Avu: The end is near it has finally come to pass: I agree with Lunarius...
Shubla: There are also other reasons to play this game than to maximize your stat gain.

More decorations would, in general, be nice.
