Holdable containers are a relatively recent invention in Cantr though - at least from memory. I play it that cups exist to hold liquid, even only if a RPed item and not actual, but those same cups are basically single use items made from the equivalent of newspaper. They don't persist and are not permanent unless made "real".

But seriously more people should just get mugs. 1 day and 200 grams of wood.

Make it a thing. Whenever someone hands your character some liquid and your character doesn't have a glass or bottle or mug or whatever, immediately drop it, lament about it being spilt and no good anymore, and refuse to pick it back up.

If you want, I will personally make it a mission to make mugs widespread in this game. :wink:

I've always felt flasks would be more appropriate.

I store my mead in a grass basket, don't you?

If you look closely there are sugar cubes in it.

Until containers are made mandatory for all fluid resources, they'll always only be the playthings of the rich, IMO. Make it so that all fluid resource gathering projects require containers and automatically populate the resource gathered into the container, etc. Fluid resources outside of a container rot much, much quicker than normal.

The post wasn't about people not putting liquids in containers though, it was about people roleplaying objects that they don't have like bottles. There is no reason to be annoyed about something so normal (for a Cantrian) as the liquid physics (or lack thereof).

*sips from his wine* and *coughs as he swallows some vodka* don't mention a container and they work just fine.

Again, 200 grams of wood and a single day. Less if there's a skilled carpenter around. Wealth is not really a prerequisite.

But like Wiro said, that's fine, just so long as the poor stop emoting they have objects they don't have.

Two things puzzle me.

The fact that a damaged live body is easier to drag than a dead one.

And the fact that I can put almost anything into a portable storage.. except coins.

I have a character right now who would literally kill for 50 grams of wood.

From some of your other posts, you've got a char in a really weird situation. But it's hardly a typical one, at least not in the EZ. There's just no way you can look at what's available in most towns and seriously consider 200 grams of wood to be a luxury only for the fabulously wealthy.

Unless you live two whole roads away from wood. That's always a good reason to sell wood at ridiculous rates. Who'd want to travel that far... it's not like there's fifty people living here...
