Posted October 4, 2020 (edited) This is something that's long overdue, and should not be too difficult considering that bridges already exist. Piling This is a heavy, rounded, wooden pole that may be sunk into the water. A player can craft a Piling from a felled tree using a hatchet. The pilling will weigh ~90% of the weight of the tree, the remainder being turned into wood scraps. A piling may be painted using Tar. Up to four Tar will be needed, depending on the weight of the piling. Pilings can be stored in bulk storage containers. Unpainted pilings and painted pilings will be stored separately. A Piling can be Planted on a tile corner that is below sea level. The weight of the piling limits the depth at which it may be planted. At the upper limit, a 160kg piling may be planted in water 40 dirt deep. If a piling is bigger than needed, any excess wood will be left in the player's inventory in the form of a smaller piling. After planting, the piling will protrude above sea level to a height of about 15 dirt. After planting, a lantern may be attached to the piling. A planted piling will decay in one Wurm month to one year (depending on quality) if not tarred. A tarred piling will last ten times longer. Planted pilings may be repaired or improved using Tar. A tile corner with a piling planted cannot be terraformed. Pier This is a flat wooden deck, held up by pilings. Piers will sit 5 dirt above sea level. Containers and decorative items may be planted on piers. Floorboards may be made into a pier on any tile that has a piling planted on each corner. Floorboards may also be made into a pier ramp, on any tile that has pilings planted on two adjacent corners and two corners that are 5 dirt above sea level. A player in a boat may Disembark onto a pier. A player who is Climbing may climb onto a pier from the water. Piers decay at twice the rate of pilings.

Posted October 4, 2020 I like this idea. Piers would be a great add for waterfront areas, deeds and/or public marketplaces. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And pilings can be used to mark safe/dredged channels in shallow water, whether or not you attach lanterns that are painted red and green 🙂 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 4, 2020 This fits really, really well with something I want to build in Wurm... I wish we could do it... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 5, 2020 I love this idea - would certainly allow for more interesting marinas and boat areas +100 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted October 5, 2020 +1 I would love to see fishing and docking piers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
