Springs

[Ihmhi]

As in those lovely, coiled devices that can store energy.

Coiled springs were invented in the 15th century, and different forms of bent metal to store energy existed before that.

I think they would be a nice, simple addition for one thing - automatically closing gates. A spring installed on a gate will close it a few seconds after it's been opened. I'm sure there could be other uses in the game (aside from inspirationals, of course), but this is my primary reasoning.

Necroing and bumping this idea. Also you should be able to open doors while carrying things over your head.

Wait... OP is actually a decent suggestion for a non-obvious implementation that I actually quite like....?


.... mind -> blown.

Wait, you mean we can't automatically have closing gates, anyway? Damn you, OP, for your suggestion!!!

(Quite honestly, if you hadn't posted this, we might have never gotten self-closing gates!)

How did this end up buried with not one reply? O.o
