Aren't Cantr folk about 10% our size?

that makes a lot of sense, actually.

but i prefer to think if it as, just as 'hours' and 'years' aren't the same as IRL, so 'grams' aren't really analogous to real grams...just a unit we can sort of identify with. i'd like to see the name changed to something completely random, like bits or ephods or better yet, chunks.

or, in keeping with the Cantr tradition, we can produce the name by initiating acts of violence against our keyboard.

the... zazx?
or...sidnjklas?

A golden bracelet weighs nearly as much as an iron shield and takes more than twice as long to make.

How big is this bracelet and can I use it as a shield?

This has been accepted. Discussion of implementation is being made.

Yes but would it be a houseboat or cabins on any ship you want? (besides rafts and dinghys etc)

No - basically they are limited to those ships which require a landing stage or coaster harbour to dock and some varieties of cabins/holds are limited to the larger vessels out of these.

i know this sounds stupid, but what is the point in this? if you have a raker, just build a longboat and store resources on it, it is quite simple. will you be able to build machines in these cabins, otherwise they are pointless

Marian · Postby **Marian** » Sat Jun 03, 2006 8:43 pm

Yes you'll be able to build machines, that's kind of the whole point of having a room.

And as for storing stuff in a longboat...ever try that with a prisoner?

You'll be able to make a brig, shanghia people, make ovens and stuff for your boats ... They'll be cool!

You should make one, all the cool kids are! :wink:

Make a big enough ship and it could be a floating town...this is going to be awesome! (especially when fishing from boats is implemented, though I guess even without it you could always, um, 'harvest' smaller boats for their resources.)

Ship cabins and cargo holds are now available for construction in the Vehicles Build Menu. These will allow many but not all machines to be constructed inside of them now. RD is also discussing radios that can be constructed inside the cabins in the near future.

Oooh, I hope radios aren't too far down the list. To finally be able to talk from boat to boat will be way cool.

One of my chars inherited one of the early boats-with-a-building (poor Stone Knight Kodak, I miss him still). I just hope it doesn't break now!

This is so unbelievably cool...best change since I started playing!

What's the difference between a cargo hold and a cabin? And how much do they all hold?

Houseboats?

Radios!
