Clay Pots - Look at all the pwetty fwahwurs!

Postby TatteredShoeLace » Fri Jul 15, 2005 2:44 am

Okay, trying to give clay more pull IG and also spread culture between places, but what about flower pots? While a programming nightmare, what if you could put 1 gram of rose in a pot and then it could forever be a machine to make more flowers by adding water to it, kind of like cooking or something, and flowers would be the outcome. And since signs deteriotate, maybe these pots could too? Seacrest Out.

I like it. It's always nice to find more uses for some items, even some "pointless" aesthetic uses.

Or, how about you could put one gram of iron in it, add water and forever grow more? I have the greatest ideas! :D

Seriously though, flowers don't really have much use (especially in CAntr where you can neither examine nor smell them), but I could see them being worth something as a novelty or clothing item if you carry the flower "seed" far enough away from the original source before planting it.

clay pots - and glass vases - and a whole load more of supurfluous (I know that's wrong...) items - yes - I'd like to see that - there just isn't enough items around in Cantr that don't have uses...

(oh - and no, that wasn't srcastic...)

I suggested something similar, but with practical uses here:

Those are good ideas for uses. Would clay pots be as effective as stone pots, though? I'm thinking clay pots have lower heat capacity than stone and therefore don't cook as well and / or breakdown easier in heat.

I like the idea of liquid storage. I think it would be really great to finally getting around to implementing the thirst and drunkeness bars. Clay pots could then become useful for fermenting. Mmmm...I need Kim Chi and I need it now! Yes I know you don't drink Kim Chi, but my mind always jumps to it when the words 'clay pot' and 'fermenting' are combined. :lol: These pots would be good for moonshining though.


Little clay figurines too.
