jail, i need to walk out

[Frits]

I dont get it. I was jailed, now they decided to let me go and unlock the door and took off. Now my choices are destroy lock, lock the unlocked door and knock on door. I have no tools.

Apparently the door is closed that's why i can knock on it!? i made a screenshot, i'll try and post it next.

Don't worry about the lock, click on the location button (the 3rd one in the line after your character details)

This will show you exits from the room/jail you are in

[Frits]

Guess i'll give destroy lock a try.
LOL My newspawn has been warned not to try anything silly after picking up 120 bones and entering a bicycle...

Your problem is probably that you still do something. Stop whatever that is and you can leave. Exit button is next to knock button.

[Frits]

Scuba you're right! I was on a repair project and when i quit that the extra button appeared.
Suppose i'm needling clothes in townsquare can i not go into a building and continue there? Now if i'm farming that's a different sort of project.

[Oasis]

You cannot take any type of project with you. It remains permanently in the location you start it. You must quit anything you are doing to be able to move around.

[Frits]

I see. Every project needs a site attribute then. So farming or digging is sitesensitive (placesensitive) but repairing something i am holding or creating a needle with bones i am holding should not be sitesensitive.

It has been suggested that some projects could be movable but for some reason it hasn't caught fire this far.

[Frits]

This type of illogic will scare away some new players. I can carry resources but not projects!? Persistence only made this newbie realize where my projects had gone. So is adding an attribute easy to code?

[Sho]

Making projects movable would probably be messy. It really isn't much harder to adapt to the idea of projects being tied to a location than it would be to the idea of some projects being movable and others not.

[Frits]

You're wrong, players being required to adapt should simply be avoided as much as possible. It's not that players dont get it, but some won't.

A project should be attached to the initiator, secondary to other participant(s) not perse to the location it was initiated in.

Sho's not wrong.

Making projects portable would be far too large a change. Regardless of the codability issues (which would probably be significant), it raises questions about carrying weight, project cancelling and project sizes. It would make workshops much harder to manage.

This should probably be discussed on the Suggestions forum, not here.
