Posted March 10, 2013 What about buildind small dock on water to attach ships,made from planks and ropes and nails. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 10, 2013 How about play the game and make suggestions with more than just pictures from all styles between sci-fi and steam punk?I haven't seen a single thing you post with any reasons or any connection to Wurm at all. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 10, 2013 (edited) You can already make a dock, extend dirt out into sea add floorboards add building so um yeah. Edited March 10, 2013 by Tineen Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 10, 2013 I like this idea and it would be nice to make it work with bridges. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 10, 2013 hes talking about no dirt, just a platform down to the waterAnd the difference is? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 10, 2013 And the difference is?the difference is obvious....-.- most likely it would make harbours more realistic if we had wooden docks with support under water instead of dirt walls.but this suggestion was made already before and the devs stated that it will be possible maybe, when the bridges code is implemented Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So again my point is what game mechanic does this help with none, so why suggest it. Didn't think I would have needed to clarify that to be honest. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 11, 2013 ti actually wouldn't mind the option of building a floating weir as opposed to having to dirt up the dirt just to drop it again in another place would be a nice addition to stuff we can build Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 11, 2013 No however I am also being pragmatic, small company, limited resources bug fixing and current features are a priority obviously this doesn't mean people shouldn't make good suggestions in fact I've seen quite a number of remarkably good suggestions from the forums however this seems like a lot of work for no benefit thus my criticism of it. We already have docks, lets focus on additional content and current game fixes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 11, 2013 well I agree that the developers should focus on new stuff and on solving bugs aswell, but I still think it's the developers decision if they want to use a suggestion or not...so no harm is done here with this suggestion and btw I don't know where you are from, but in germany we have lots of those non "dirt" docks, even though I'm mostly talking about those from old times. this suggestion may be more oriented at the efficiency at making docks, instead of the actual graphics only Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 11, 2013 Scotland here and we use many causeways built the way they are done here in Wurm, often to link the remote islands off coast to each other or to bypass Lochs as well as port extensions, so the method used here is in practice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 11, 2013 It's actually safer to make docks like in wurm in RL. Atleast when i make a dock in wurm, it kinda wraps around my ships.. And if that were RL, it would keep them safe from hard waves.. (kinda like a jetty) I am purely theorizing here though 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 11, 2013 like the idea and the diffrence is u wouldnt have slopes at the side so 2 wide ships can go in a 2 wide shipareaTopview:XXXXXXXXXSSXSSXXSSXSSXXSSXSSXXSSXSSXwith x being docks and s being shipsSideview: SS SSxSSxSSxxSSxSSxI hope that is understandable Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 11, 2013 This may very well happen when we get bridges. Until then, use landbridges as docks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
