Automatic Land Flattener

Postby chanpod » Mon Sep 03, 2012 7:12 am

Ok, this would be under mechanics so it would take a while to get.

It would be a lift-able object (obviously) require whatever mats the devs see fit, and it will flatten a 2x2 area and displace the dirt into a collectables area. similar to the stamp mill and what not. It'll displace 4 full piles of dirt so you can drop the dirt onto a sled and carry it off.

It would take several (10ish) minutes to accomplish this 2x2 area but it is obviously doing it for you. Freeing you up to forage or whatever. Be nice to have the mats cheap enough to be able to easily make 2/3 of these reasonably. That way you can just make trips dumping dirt, move the machine, and move on to the next one. Rinse, repeat.

Recommended over a year ago, actually "promised" to us at one point and apparently was replaced with the Labouring skill and metal shovels.

I'd definitely go for what painhertz proposed

The price for laziness is should not be cheap. If there is a tool for automatic land flattening, I think it should cost atleast 5s per tile, if not more.

Very good silver-out source. Maybe pay Boston workers to do the work for you.
I never managed to figure out something clever for my signature on Paradoxplaza, and I doubt I'll do it here either.

Where can I find them? and how many of them I can hire?:)

I will flatten land for you, only 200s per hour and I will provide my own food. Unfortunately, that will require you to give me your location and I dont think you want to do that.

[sarcasm]devs should also sell korean slaves in market for playing instead of you[/sarcasm]
srsly, it is not a problem to flatten land, phlegm could be easily restored now and even default client provide everything for successfull flattening

I think the issue is just more of how it needs to be time intensive and laborious. I don't think this is too much of a problem but it'd be kind of neat if it could be less tedious at the same time.

It isn't that tedious to flatten land, to be honest. A few good workers and decent phlegm + iron shovels and most land could be flattened within an hour or two.

I mean. I'm all for creating silver dumps and selling convenience to players, but I still wouldn't say that land flattening is so bad.

The world would eventually become completely flat with too many rich players, too ;)
