New container / Watering can

Postby SekoETC » Tue Feb 15, 2011 8:56 pm

I just thought about it yesterday. I mainly want it as a container but if somebody wanted to make it usable as a gardening tool, I wouldn't mind. Since there is no plastic, it would be made of some metal.

I think it would be good if there was a topic for suggesting new containers in general, but I don't know if RD is still opposed to implementing new ones because the old ones are out of balance. It would be nice if containers could be made of any material that makes sense (fur, hide have been in mind for a long while) and that people would stop sticking to the thought that people won't make more expensive containers if cheaper options exist. That's just like saying people won't make fine clothing because simple hide things exist. It's true that some people won't make them, but the ones who can and perceive a need for them do produce them, and that's what separates the rich from the poor. So I don't think it would kill the game if there were cheap containers with decent capacity. And this has nothing to do with the watering can since that wouldn't be so cheap due to being made out of metal.

I vote it be made of tin. And can only hold water. And can speed up certain gardening projects like.....I dunno, I've never gardened on Cantr before, but still.
Composting dung would be a bit....eh....I think. But growing things in an herb garden would be alright.

Only holding water is impossible and speeding up machine projects, too, unless we make a separate project.

Since containers have almost no purpose, I don't really see any balancing issues or a reason not to have more containers. Would tin be okay?

Thank goodness, glad to see I wasn't confused without a reason.

Glass jars? Vacuum flask made out of aluminium, aka termos, for your coffee?

As far as speeding up gardening projects, I was thinking of how burying is made faster with a shovel for example. But then again, burying doesn't utilise a machine like herb gardens do.

Or wheelbarrows with road projects, but again...

I would like to see a new container that is a small bag, that could be made of any type of cloth, and reed....something that could be used as a gift bag, without having to make a big duffel bag or burlap sac, the only choices so far, and too large for what I'm thinking of.
