Hi folks, I'm located in cozy Stillwater and am relatively new to the game.

Check out my research petition for a "cart" which allows for higher carrying capacity (and scales with levels)

On hand

Legal Opinion: Research

---

item transportation cart

Thiw would allow a researchable, buildable cart (limit 1 per player) that could be scaled up with higher skill points to allow extra carrying capacity.

At skill level 1(should be researchable early), an extra 1000 bulk/weight, level 2, an extra 2,000, and level 4 an extra 5,000. (see below for my idea on level 3)

Higher level carts would be required to be built (disassembling the old one first) and would have higher scaling material requirements.

To balance, while using a cart a player would experience a small slowdown of movement speed, until level 3 is obtained at which point the slowdown would be negated.

The cart Should be "parkable" at ones CP,perhaps requiring a building addon or outside building to park it,so as to not clutter Egypt with abandoned carts.

Other ideas,but can only carry 1 petition at a time >.<

Automated wood gathering machine.

This tech would allow for a new building, to be placed within 1 coord of a tree, to automatically gather 1 wood per 3 teppy minutes. There would be an upgrade to allow for 2 wood every 3 teppy minutes. There would be a max load of 5,000(before upgrade) and 8,000 wood (after upgrade). Having such high capacity amounts should discourage people from building multiple machines.

Equestrian care and travel.

This would,upon research, grant the ability to capture,care for,and breed horses. Once "tamed" and "trained" a horse would be rideable, increasing movement speed over road and off road. Wildly captured(or starter) horses would provide little benefit, requiring selective breeding to get horses with more speed increase benefit, along with proper feeding and training techniques. (certain "breeds" of horse would benefit more from diferant kinds of training. This would be implemented by having a tamed horse have multiple options to train with and only 1 or 2 granting any benefit.) You would also have to care for and feed the horse to build its "Tame" level to 100% (much like beetles,just adding in that you need to actually care for the horse via menu options).

In order to be ride-able,Horses would also need to have shoes put on them (made at an anvil). Low quality shoes would add a small penalty to the horse's movement speed. (Another option is to make shoes in a forge, but require a "farrier" skill that would level up much like sheet glass).

This would also add a new building "Horse Stable" to the game,from which all the interaction would take place.

Travel by waypoint,exp site,CS,and spouse would not be possible while a character is mounted to add balance.

Implementation could be done via having the different breeds add to your spd/dex and could be modeled via the same method appearances are (it would be it's own separate "appearance" for each character model/horse model) No mounting animation would be required, it would be a "select horse to ride" from the "stable" and either the UI is reloaded or whatever is already in place when you change appearance, or whatever way airships are done now. For further balance, some actions that require dex/spd would not be able to be done while mounted.

If you choose to use one of these ideas to start a petition while I'm working on a different one please /chat me, and give me proper credit in your petition.
