Re: Another leanto abuse
Just make leantos walkable through.
You can block scents by other ways as well.
But I agree that leanto is too easy to build.

Re: Another leanto abuse
leantos can be built cheaply and claimed forcing someone to leave vandal scents to get to a murder scent without requiring a claim over it. Sure, you could put a house or wall section there, but without a claim it's not much protection and doesn't force someone to leave scents to get to the other one.
I don't see it as as big an issue as the one just fixed since they are easy to break and who cares about vandal? Use a disposable alt.

Leantos seem to cause trouble wherever they are used.

Re: Another leanto abuse
But there is an effort involved that shouldnt be. Maybe the solution runs across making scents getable as soon as you can see them on screen.MagicManICT wrote:leantos can be built cheaply and claimed forcing someone to leave vandal scents to get to a murder scent without requiring a claim over it.

This makes the same sense that building looms while running. Hopefully these abuses will be fixed sooner or later.

Re: Another leanto abuse
Don't get me wrong here. I'm not saying it shouldn't be fixed. I think a better fix would be to allow scent harvesting from the edge of the object built, no matter what it is. I imagine that would be more complex, though. From a programming perspective, it would require some inheriting of the properties of the scent to the building that sits on it. Upside to going this route would be any items that a player can't get to because of a bounding box would now be harvestable. That's easier said than done, though, I think.

Re: Another leanto abuse
Make them like hearthifres, walkable through. And all problems with them are solved. Or most of them.

Just make scents pick-able from certain distance unless on solid claim.
