Posted May 23, 2017 I don't see a reason to .. destroy the mould, why not use it like any other tool.. and to damage it every time when it's used? I'd just hope that if it's implemented it's one-tool.. and no 2nd part.. or at least to make plank/shaft/hand useful for the pressing... instead of implementing another item 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 17, 2017 Digging clay and making pottery bricks are two of the most boring tasks I've ever done in Wurm. Would love to see anything make this a bit quicker or just less boring... I rarely advocate for more complexity or more clicks, but this is honestly just mind numbing. I like the mould idea... As a potter irl, I know this is how things would be done with regard to items like pottery bricks or shingles. You can also use moulds for other things. Eg: This vase made with a slip (a mixture of water and clay) mould: Spoiler I've actually been meaning to formulate some ideas on making the pottery skill more realistic in function, but sadly I've been to busy digging clay and making clay bricks.

Posted June 17, 2017 +1 Yes it will suck for the "professional brick makers," but they can become professional something else makers. Show me someone who says they enjoy making bricks and I'll show you a liar. xP 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 17, 2017 6 hours ago, Fearil said: Sorcery! Blasphemy! Which leads to another problem, pottery is the ONLY skill creating items with no active tool(not actual tool which could be created/improved and stacked with QL/rarity/WoA/Rune to make it's action timers faster or boost ql on creation of the items. On the other hand.. it's a hack mechanic.. your current tool never drops below 50Ql.. deserves a nerf! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted June 17, 2017 +1 to all mechanisms that get us to realistic basic level of production. I will never understand why this game has to be so backward and make things harder for the sake of making them harder than common sense should have to allow. Yeah I know not everything has to be realistic or accurate but don't make stuff feel like your wasting your time. I'm one of those people who will just go without before I drop one cent more than I feel something is worth and I hardly buy anything in this game. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 17, 2017 ^ And I share the opposite (though somewhat similar) view. If something feels like just "wasting time" to make, I'd rather just buy it. Oh geez, typing that I just realized why bricks are the way they are. To keep the money flowing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 9, 2017 (i want to convert my `wishbone` bridge to pottery brick. how ever. . having already slate paved my entire deed before it cost .. just 1 brick... I've learnt the error of my ways. I don't want to engage in the task of making 4k+ pottery bricks because wurmslaw™ dictates that 2 weeks after i'm done, the process will be 45.9 times easier) still.. i find it yearning. bump Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
