Gathering tar

Post by tyrtix »

I think may be cool to gather pitch or tar from swamp areas, maybe by digging like we do in mountains or by filling buckets and then let the brackish water dry. Tar is also used in making some kind of boats and other water-resistant items.

Maybe add tar pits as resource nodes?

It's not too hard to run 5 or 6 of them at all times and that's enough to build a mansion every few days. I think that's right. It's about a barrel and a quarter to make enough tar sticks for a mansion. I don't think I ever felt like tar was too restrictive in quantity, especially since it's mostly a passive resource, so I disagree with making it too readily available as that invalidates sources such as the tar kiln.

Better to add some new uses for tar than to create a node where to collect tar.
