Make resources Dragable.
We can almost drag anything.
Why not resources?

But if we can drag resources.. Then prisoners can run away from prison...
Someone can pass them the iron needed to make a crowbar then break the lock and run away.
And, how can resources be draggable? It doesn't make sense to me... I mean, you can't drag carrots from under the door... Note is acceptable yes because it's very small.. But carrots? And onions? And iron? No...

I don't think Peanut is proposing dragging resources through locked doors, Currently only notes and keys can be dragged through these, no other draggable object can (unless a dragger has a key).
I can see the logic of this suggestion but to be honest the same effect can be achieved picking up, carrying in and dropping . I'd rate this as quite low priority.
The only real difference between dragging and carrying is that you could use this to drag resources into a building to stop access from the outside by filling it up. I'm not sure we'd want that feature

But what's the difference in dragging/pulling a cantarian that weights 60000g and 60000g of carrots?

What kind of argument is that?
That's a great example of what this suggestion is all about.
It's the same as dragging carrots inside a building where people got locked up in.
Or quickly dragging the resources that are on the ground inside out of fear for a newspawn taking it.
And it would save time entering and leaving buildings dropping resources as you go.

I consider a cantr building/vehicle locked if the lock is set in the locked state.
I consider a cantr building/vehicle open if it has no lock or the lock is set in the unlocked state.
How difficult would it be top grab alot of potatoes opening a door and trowhing them inside?
This gives me some more ideas.
1 Dragging should only be possible if you have a key to the lock of the destination you are dragging to. Or if there is no lock there.
2 There should be a way to drag the biggest batch of resources from a building/vehicle to where you are.
3 Dragable items? (tools/weapons/shields/etc)

Well i always thought that the players should have a way to drag stuff outside of a building to unclog it. Thus removing the need of staff intervention.

And a crowbar requires steel, not iron, and on top of that an anvil too (we learned this the hard way). Anyway, if a prisoner would make me an anvil and a crowbar then I'd gladly wait for him to finish it and then kill him!
Anyway it wouldn't make much sense that you can stuff a house so full of resources that you can't get in. Logically if it was a granular material then... oh, right, the doors open to the inside? But anyway, technically a person with a key walks through the door rather than unlocking it from the outside and then opening it.

To ProgDept (just an example, not a real problem ... yet)
Help! A newspawn entered one of the open buildings where we've been putting sand into, and then drug it all outside, then into my building! It's FULL! There's no one inside, and no way for anyone to get inside now, so there's nothing we can do about it! Help!
Anyone put any thought into that problem?
Reality was never my strong point.
