Adobe

[Slayer]

I don't know if it's been suggested before( or if I spelled it correctly)
But I think an Adobe would be a great thing to use clay on. For those of you who don't know what an adobe is it's a small house made of clay.

Adobe is the clay. Pueblo is the house.

[Slayer]

Oh yeah...

A clay house? Hmm. Any tools involved?

Brick molds are IC, lets make use of them. Id like to see the Kiln do more as well.

[boomhaeur]

If we've got brick molds perhaps it would be good to introduce a brick house.

Is there any way to have the brick mold function differently on where it's located. Perhaps outdoor brick molds could be used but you'd have to wait a lot longer "Drying Bricks" (ie. out in the "sun") or if it was in the same location as a kiln the process could be faster?

Might be good to also introduce a brick oven as well.

Bricks are something complicated at the moment.

Some want bricks made of stone.
Some want bricks made of marble.
Some want bricks made of clay.
I want all of them, just to please those people.
However having them all, will displease those that think building construction is overly complicated already...

Humph. What to do?

Erm...

Bricks of marble and stone wouldn't be made using a mould, but with a chisel etc... Wouldn't they? Why bother if you can already make a 'stone' building...

[Surly]

Is marble already implemented as a resource?

Bricks should be made from some kind of clay. And clay should be more readily available than stone. As it stands, why would anyone build something when stone is more readily available, easier to gather, and no-one can tell what a building is made of?

Bricks should be of clay
Stone and marble should be used as they are, as things already stand (i.e. without further refining)

That's my opinion.

[formerly known as hf]

Marble does seem to be implemented, but it's probably a 'only on new lands' thingy?

[Surly]

Typical really...

I'm tempted to go searching for these new lands, just to see if the new lands department is telling me the truth...

[west]

Eh, the ones I've found ain't that great.

[Anthony Roberts]

Most new things go on New Lands. Why? Because most new lands have the same resources as existing lands, and when we DO add something, you all complain that you can't build it, because it's only on new lands.

Go. Find these other places. The more people that cooperate, the better these new lands become (With much more newer stuff!) - So, stop whining, too

And, I'm aware bricks from stone and marble you wouldn't need a mould... why the hell would you, haha. But clay, yes, is what the mould is meant for.

[Crosshair]

"project Carving Stone Bricks has been finished"

i think that would be inpractical, cause how many bricks would you need? unless you made them in batches....

[boomhaeur]

Agreed crosshair - I think the concept of building bricks only works for Clay.

The thought being it would be great for places that have clay but aren't near stone - they could then build solid buildings (albeit with a bit more effort).
