Seed Sack/Sack 'O Seeds

Postby Sordo » Wed Dec 01, 2010 8:19 pm

I personally think that seedbags are too small, especially if you have full nature.
So what I thought of was a seed sack, or something. Basically it would be a 1x2 object made out of 8 linen cloth, and 4 strings. Inside would be a 4x4 space (like an inventory without any backpacks, merch robes, etc) for seeds. It would act exactly the same as seedbags, just with more space.

The reason I thought of this is because most of us have large fields, and even an inventory full of seedbags may not be able to tackle the whole thing in one harvest.

Any better suggestions are welcome.

+1
But you could just make a travelers bag or whatever it is and put more seedbags in it,but this is a very good idea.

Then you can't use a scythe.

nice idea.
I think these linen sacks could be useful not for only seeds, but also for any bulk. When i mill the wheat, i wish i had a kind of flourbag, because the flour doesnt fit in seedbags.

There was an idea, ages ago, about making flour (and possibly seeds, I do not recall) have volume instead of taking up space in your inventory, so they could be put into barrels like water, milk, vinegar and wine currently can. God only knows what's happening with that. I suspect that the answer is 'nothing'.

I'd just give normal seedbags more space, they're way too tiny to be worth the inventory-shuffling effort.

I'd like to see a furniture-type object that would essentially be a big fat monster of a linen bag which could be used to store bulk amounts of either seeds or flour. No mixing of materials allowed, and let the interface work something like a food trough, only that seeds could be removed after putting them in.

For a further refinement, maybe say that "shift-click" takes out the highest quality seed, and "ctrl-click" takes out the lowest quality seed.

This would of course all be much, much easier if seeds and flour were done as volumes (i've seen many people better than me suggest this before, and many will suggest it again after me :P). One "unit" of seed could be called a gram, or whatever.
