Humble request - tradable furniture
« on: July 23, 2009, 07:32:57 am »

You can sell furniture but not buy it. Why?

Is it possible to mod races so they can bring you furniture? If yes, is anyone willing to do it, please?

Furniture is too heavy for efficient trade. IIRC heavier than raw materials its made from.

That does not really matter. In later game you get so many wagons. And even if throne weights three times th weight of stone block, it has bigger value for me than 3 stone block (in lots of my games).

Besides I always wanted to try a little challenge - you must buy (and not make) as much as you can. Today it is no problem with all the food, drinks, materials, cloth, armor, ammo, weapons ... I miss only furniture. Then I believe I could make nice prospering fortress with only military and haulers, one legendary crafter (money maker) and one miner/mason/architect (building).

The answer to your weight problems is to modify the raws for wagon. Add a single 0 into it's weight capacity. This requires world regen.

DO NOT ADD MORE THAN ONE 0, because it will kill your fps. This is because the amount of items in the area affects fps and increasing the weight limit will increase the number of items the caravan will bring.... Increasing the wagon's carrying capacity by 10 is nothing compared to increasing the capacity by 100 for fps. Ergo...don't.

Note, this will also cause your broker to gain appraisal skills insanely quick.

Note, Make sure to increase the wagon's speed, because otherwise the amount of items will actually slow IT down. It will crawl across your screen towards your trade depot as easy prey for ambushes. It may be the case that they will take so long just getting to your depot that they will leave before they unload. Unless of course you WANT slow wagons to seize stuff from....

This solves the weight problem with trading; it does not make furniture something to trade in and of itself. For that you will need to mod the metagloss files if you even can. This may be hard coded. I am not sure. Will check.
