Steam engines & trolley

Post by Fostik »

I understand, that this is too hight tech for haven mechanics, but why not.
The thing we need for lategame:
Transfer big amouts of ore,coal; process big amount of resources; plant big amount of plants - is such annoying.
I offer an endgame technologies work on steam (fired coal + boiled water), and trolleys, which will allow:
- Build some steam engines for tools (like authomatic loom, quern, winepress, etc.)
- Build steam engines for trolleys, which allow transfer large amount of ores
- Build rails
- Build mineholes that support rails between levels
- Build some steam mechanisms that allows, plant/harvest multiple seeds.

That will require large amounts of steel, wrought iron.
This will be also a reason for other players to gather around the developed infrastructure, and build bigger villages

I think it's too early to talk about rails and steam applications regardless of setting, because in any case there are huge technological gap between the subject and the most advanced features that currently present in the game. Not until windmills, traps, mechanical/clockwork gear, alchemy and so on, as we are currently at 9th century at most.
