Cantr II Discussion Forum

Please help me with this one. I do normally go for finding out things ingame as much as possible, but in this case I've hit problems trying to describe what I'm asking without a whole long OOC bit about the history of buildings in the game.

In various places I've seen the following:
a) cottages being built within cottages, using the full 10kg wood.
b) extensions being built within cottages, using 7.5kg wood.

Of the latter, Anthony Roberts seems to have said:

Also, there are now Room Extensions for Wood and Stone buildings (Wood: Cottage; Stone: Building & Hall) - There will be other extensions for the other buildings as well, when they're developed, just to be fair. The extensions have close to, or the same as, the storage capacity of the smallest building resource type. (Ie: If you build an extension on a Hall, it won't be the size of a normal hall, but rather the size of a normal stone building). The resources needed to make an extension is less, as because you don't need to build that 4th wall, type dealy.

But surely this will imply that a wood extension to a cottage will be exactly the same size as a cottage to a cottage, if you see what I mean. So why were some people building the latter?

In other words, what is the difference in outcome between (a) and (b)?

And are these extensions also lockable?

Thanks.

the full building projects may just be old , from before the extention concept was implemented, or the people who satarted the projects may just not have known. i'd guess that building a full building inside another is now obsolete, but this is the first time i've even heard about this new feature so i don't know definitively.

It use to be in order to extend your building you had to build a building within the already present exterior except it would like building an extenstion. Now it with the new feature, you actually build an extenstion to the building which will make it easier for later to implement restrictions on how many extenstion can be added etc...

Those projects must be older but the new edition is quite new.

I hope that explains things better.

My IC assumption (and OOC as well:-)) is that you cannot put a lock on the extension. Will find out IC soon though..
