Ideas for houses and building

At the moment, houses are only used to store more items inside of them, would it be possible to actually use them as a sort of tougher leanto? We could have really flimsy leanto that barely need a push to get destroyed, so if you really wanna have a safe log out you would need to constuct house to use as a leanto. you could make the soak of the leanto at about 5, pilgrim hovel at about 30 the farmer Houses could be at around 50-60, the Townhouse could be at around 100 ish and the brick townhouse could be somewhere around 150-200. In that mindset, would it be possible to have houses be ''multiple'' leantos. Something like: pilgrim's hovel 1 or 2 the farmer house 2 or 3 town house could house 5 person and the brick town house could hold 7 or 8 toons. Also we could make it so in a town claim players cant build leanto and are forced to use house to make a homestead (to make town more townier?)


Also, I did not fully check if someone posted this idea, but it could be nice to have a hammer as a tool. the point of hammer would be to speed building constructions. So any pilgrim without a hammer could take way longer to build structures. you could get a wooden hammer which would make it a bit slower than what we have now and a metal hammer which would make it so we build it at the speed we have at.


I find it kind of weird when you put stack of dirt into a cart the stack turns into a bag, so could it be possible to make it so the cart as sort of container for dirt. So instead of having 8 piles of dirt, it could be a bigger stack than what a players can hold by himself. Basically make the cart hold 120 tick of dirt (which is the max it can hold atm) so if a player without the labouring skill wouldnt make dirt disapear magically.

I like the part about having multple people on a single leanto. Houses do need some love. Potentially if beds and/or come to pass we will see some changes to the way we use houses.

Please use the search function and learn about grab bag idea threads. Granted it is hard to find if exactly your suggestion has been said before but it's a good place to start and with a little effort you would've found http://forum.salemthegame.com/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=11532 and maybe http://forum.salemthegame.com/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=1594

I'm not sure the houses need to be able to be bound to more than one character, but being able to bind to a house like you do to a leanto would be very nice.

Yes they should have used the small ideas thread, at least for the last 2 ideas, but the house idea is not the same as the ideas you linked to.

make a bed/bunkbed item that can be built inside a house and used as a lean to.

hammer idea is stupid because it simply nerfs what we have now and gives it back at max tier, if the wooden hammer is current speed and the best hammer makes building **** twice as fast then sure ok. but as proposed it would just be annoying.
