Make casks buildable in wooden buildings

[viktor]

i find it strange that a machine that does nothing but ferment juices etc... cannot be built in wooden buildings and only in stone/marble. is there a certain reasonable logic to it or just an oversight?

[Comy]

Yes, please. Not allowing it has always seemed silly and pointless.

[RedQueen.exe]

I wasn't here for that decision, but aren't most casks pretty big? Though I suppose they don't have to be, and not all are...

[Snickie]

solution: Small cask

But it needs to be horribly inefficient compared to the regular cask.

[muidoido]

It's already small. I don't see a reason for the building size restriction.

Weight of materials to build it:
1500 grams of wood
400 grams of steel

Size of the biggest project:
450 grams of amazake


It's a 1900g cask that can contain less than 500g of materials. It's much much smaller than a cantrian...

[Snickie]

Then keep the current cask and make it buildable in wooden rooms. Add large casks and give them the same building requirements as casks currently have.

[muidoido]

Now that's a good idea!

[RedQueen.exe]

Or just... let the current cask be built in more types of rooms.

Sorry, I'm a fan of simplicity unless there's really a compelling reason to make things more complex.

[Piscator]

I think the factor is not the size of the building, but rather the massive walls that keep the temperature inside relatively constant. Biological processes can be quite difficult to control even without constantly changing parameters. Spells of too high or low temperature might spoil a whole batch.

I didn't came up with the restriction and I would't mind changing it much, but this is a rule that actually makes sense to me.

Good thing cantr doesn't have weather.

[Piscator]

Where did you get that idea? Cantrians are just unable to detect it directly.

[Armulus Satchula]

Nope. Cantr's world rotates around their star in a circular pattern with no tilt to the planet.

[Doug R.]

Since there's no discernible night/day cycle, it needs to be a binary star system, with Cantr locked between them with no orbit at all.

[EchoMan]

Seriously off topic, but Cantr is a doughnut floating in a space of light.

I like the idea of two variants of casks, one smaller that can be built in any building, and one larger/better that can be built only in stone or marble buildings.

[Piscator]

Who says the world is not a doughnut filled with luminous fog and people live on the inside?

Anyway, I don't really see the point in having two casks. If we decide that there's nothing that keeps us from fermenting stuff in wooden buildings, we can as well use the standard cask. I don't think size is an issue here.
