Mooring posts, bollards and pins

Recommended Posts

Why should we need a lead anchor to tie up to a jetty ?


 


Face a tile corner and plant a wooden mooring post to make your floorboarded jetty look more like the real thing. Would act as a single-corner fence. Activate a mooring rope in your inventory and moor your rowboat or sailboat to the post from within a 1 tile radius.


 


Craft a stone mooring bollard for those slabbed jetties. Maybe these could have mooring options for bigger sailing craft. Might take two mooring ropes and bollards spaced the right distance apart for your ship's length, but then you could have the joy of clicking 'cast off' when you're ready to get underway again.


 


Carry an iron mooring pin to plant on a tile corner on the shore to tie-up to, from a small craft.


 


Seems to me if we can hitch animals to a tent, it's time to be able to throw a mooring rope round a post/bollard/pin.

Given that lead can be a pain to get early on I would completely support this idea. That said it would be nice to see lead get some additional use options if the need for anchors was removed.

Lead ore has never been necessary to keep a boat from moving.

Possible additional uses for lead.


 


Lead roof-type


Lead line - used to measure water depth. Use from a boat to measure dirts-deep of nearest tile-corner.


Lead fishing weights - add to a fishing rod to create a deep-water fishing rod


Lead bath - for creating float glass (flat sheets of glass)


Lead cames - the lead joins in stained glass panels

Could use a lead plumbline and some sort of sextant to work out height above water level, outside of caves.
