Weight-lifting machine

Postby Marian » Tue Feb 23, 2010 8:35 pm

Take steel, rope, iron, and...whatever tools or machines would be appropriate, and make a machine you can use once a day to gradually increase your strength at at least a slightly faster rate than the current 'spend 20 years hunting multiple animals every single day'.

And it'd be great if we could build machines that helped with other skills too, but for now let's keep it simple and not derail this please.

I think actual skill gaining through other mechanics in game like hunting a other projects would need to be lowered a bit then the "exercise machines" A little above that.

I like it! I think it's a wonderful idea to be able to increase skills by participating in targeted activities and strength is good place to start. I suggest that using the machine be a 1-hour activity and, as the original poster stated, should be limited to once daily use. Perhaps to limit abuse or overuse the construction of any such machine should be limited to one per location.

How about instead of making it a tick activity it just simply tires you?

With training I know your tiredness can go to 100% and then you keep getting as much strength/skill so that would make it too easy to abuse because you could just keep clicking it. Maybe if the amount of strength you gained was related to how tired you are. But then you stumble upon rich people with lots of energy potions/tea able to limitlessly increase their strength... just something to think about.

Ideally, the amount of strenght you gain and the amount of exercise you are capable of endure are dependant on your present physical constituition. If the process has such limits, extreme exploitaition will be limited as a necessary consequence of those limits.

Readers notice that 'ideally' means just that: 'in an ideal state'. 'Ideally' does not carry the meaning 'uncapable of being programmed by the current staff' within it, so don't be overwhelmingly pessimist.

If a person with a ton of tea wants to use it for limitless training, let em.
