I live in Melody - a very pretty place. But what it is also is very hilly. That means ton of terraforming to try to get your house built, and difficulties in farming. It also means tons of spots in melody are just not suitable for deeds. The entire centeral-western cliff-line has 1 deed on it. What could be done for such a hilly environment? I propose - foundations, and here is my thought process for them: - A 'foundation' is made of stone or wood and flattens the tile in question. If you want to build on top of it in stone - then you need to use the stone foundation to support it. - Foundations snap together - but have a maximum height it would support. I would suggest the height is linked to your skill ability (carpentry for wood, masonry for stone). So a level 50 Carpentry can build a wooden foundation that is up to 50 dirt tall. - Foundations level with the two top-most corners. Those corners also need to be leveled. This way the foundation is level for building. - Foundations can not be built on other foundations. But they can be build beside other foundations. - Breaking a foundation would cause the walls and floors above it to also break. As an additional benefit - I also suggest foundations can also be used to make balcony braces on a building. - balcony braces require iron blacksmith skill to fabricate. They are two wrought-iron triangles that use 10 iron ribbons per triangle, and two iron staffs. - a balcony brace attaches to the side of a wall. (Interior or exterior) - Balcony Braces can support a floor above it - and that floor can support anything designated as a fence for it's edges. - Balcony Braces cannot support additional walls. So no crazy inverted houses built from a 1x1 tile with tons of balcony braces. - Half floors might be a good option here. Just like we have a half-floor for stairs, that same mechanic could be used to allow a smaller balcony. - Balcony braces can be attached to a foundation to make an overhang / viewing spot on top of a hill over-seeing the bay. Perfect meditation spots!k - Two buildings that have 1 tile between them could have a balcony brace added to one of them to make a make-shift bridge of sorts. - Two building that have a 2 tile gap between them could also still do this same trick. One balcony brace on each house. - Balcony braces cannot attach to other balcony braces for support. This ensures they are not used for extensive cheap bridge building. - A balcony brace does not require the wall it is attached to to be solid. Thus you can have a balcony above a door/window/etc. And with balcony braces - I would finally offer this additional 'decorative' aspect: Hanging Planter hooks and lantern hooks. - Hanging planter hooks can attach a planter to each balcony brace at the brace point. (at the overhang position of the two triangles of the balcony brace.) - lanterns can also be hung in this same position using a lantern hook - banners, etc could also be done this way. - seasonal garland? 🙂- 4 replies

Whenever I push a table and back into a move, I get stuck when I finish pushing. I try /stuck, but it says that I can't use that command while teleporting. I have to relog to fix the issue.

Our options for fencing off house walls aren't very attractive in most cases. I'd love to see actual banisters or railings. Could have many types: Wood, Iron, Copper, Brass, Marble, Stone, Silver, Gold... Also, Rustic and Elegant versions. This would allow our houses to look so much more complete, rather than sticking farm fences or castle tops inside the house to prevent falling off the balcony. Currently, I'm finding chain and rope fences are the least ugly options. Seems to me, now that the mechanics are working for regular fencing, we could get some great Wurm artists to put a few options together Rustic Wood:
