rooms too expensive

Postby berserk9779 » Wed Mar 31, 2004 9:34 pm

a house has 4 walls and a roof, plus the foundations (or maybe not, seen that cantr houses are quite primitive), so, why does a room (that is made with one or maximum 2 walls and no roof) cousts just as much as a new building?

Been suggested already. (Ofcourse).

But yeah, it'd seem logic to have a room require less stone and time to build...
But don't forget. The new room has just as much storage capability as the original building so it must have been built as an extension on the outside, so the requirements shoud be a 3rd.

not really as you'd still have the foundation's to do plus the extra external wall's you have the dorway to be made into the existing room and roof to add plus the changes to be made to the roof of the existing house so that it all matches. you'd probably use more time adding a room and possibly more material's then you would making the original house.why does it only cost 120 grand to build a house but 40grand to add a room on the back?

Haven't there been MULTIPLE topics of this already.

They already explained how its just as hard to make an addition, and you don't know which the house is built perhaps its built row upon row, you never know Cantr's physics.

Maybe that room is like a second wall in a castle. It is only slightly smaller so it costs nearly as much stone.

As you say a room costs a third of a whole house. And that is the whole point of the forum.

Then again, a room in a building would have half the storage capacity of the whole building. In cantr a building has infinite storage capability, so a room should have infinite/2 capability, that happens to be just as much as infinite

The size of a room is non-infinite but it is quite roomy. Only the Kriffians have problems with it. :lol:

yes but that's a whole hose with multile room's. well i have more then one room in my house and hope your as priviledged. but it cost's 1/3 the ost of the whole house including all room's to add just one more room. not 1/3 of the cost of a single room in my house

So buy following the logic you have a house with multiple rooms IRL.
Would that be 4 rooms?
So to add 1 more room would be 1/3 the cost of the total.
That is 4/3rds.
I think we are undercharging for new rooms in the game then.
Let me go change it.
Thank you.

Just kidding. :lol:

I wouldn't mind having it only cost me 8k stone per room. I mean that would make it cost less in Cantr at least. Go ahead and change it. I would rather have that than have to pay 72k.

I think added rooms should be different from additions. Additions can have added storage capacities, but rooms can be more like partitions, so that there is still the same storage capacity; just you can separate different parts of the building.
