Game Development: Destruction & Sericulture

[Malicus]

One of my baskets, which was holding some buckets, poofed earlier while I was asleep, too. The buckets were gone when I got there.

also the need for barns and cellars has just exploded because of this, hint hint, wink wink EDIT: nudge nudge

(edit: yeah... I added the nudge nudge there, go watch more monty python whoohoo, ok bedtime...)

So... How exactly does one repair something? I've tried it on chests, and my character just walks over to it and stops without doing anything else.

[Vanigo]

I think that's what happens if the object is undamaged. Try taking a swing at something you don't care about, then repairing it.

[KoE]

Yeah, it seems you'll be prompted for the necessary materials to repair stuff if it's damaged. I thwacked a chest (which seems to have a LOT of HP) and my spinning wheel (which I very nearly instantly destroyed). Were these destroyed containers straw and/or wicker baskets? (or perhaps urns). It seems to me chests are quite a bit more sturdy, as none of the ones hanging around outside my place are particularly damaged, as far as I can tell. I'm also curious if there's some randomization to it or if I should go camp out by one of those wicker basket fields to watch them all spontaneously explode as one.

I do think some sort of graphical indication is crucial - though I can certainly understand why that make Jorb clutch his chest and cry out for Elizabeth, if we want actual shiny (or dingy) graphics to indicate it. Some sort of repair-o-vision option ala claims / village claims / etc. would be nice - either a little bar or a tinted color.

Ive had a breeding pair in a container for over 18 RL hours with no effect. Never touched them, moved container, nothing.
Maybe it is a RL day, so 24 RL hours?

Maybe they have to be in a player's inventory, not a container.

I thought a similar thing but can't see any reason why J&L would have implemented it in that way...

I had a pair in my inventory overnight. Of course, I was logged off at the time...

Do chests inside carts still decay? And what happens if the cart disappears when the chests are still inside?
