Posted April 10, 2013 OK i didnt put much thought into this but I notice that fur is only used for beds, and i thought it would be amazing if you can use them for other furniture and Fur ClothingLike say you have an Oakwood Chair, why not use a fur on it for a padded Oakwook ChairWe can have Bear Fur Cloaks or Wolf Cloaks, with the head of the animal fur you used as a head cover (this would obviously only work with the helmet off, or have the hood off when wearing a helmet)Toss in your other ideas guys this is all i could think off in 2 minutes 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted April 10, 2013 +1 ,, Great suggestion.. Allot fur is sitting around not getting used. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 10, 2013 (edited) Fur items should be difficult to make, from some website:Because fur comes from wild animals, it cannot be flawless like cloth, which is manufactured from fibers. The work involved in repairing imperfect pelts and then sewing them together into clothing contributes to the high cost of fur garments. In some years, the scarcity of fur-bearing animals makes prices rise even higher.From the beginning of time people wore animal skins for warmth and protection. They also used skins for blankets, rugs, and wall hangings. During the 400's B.C., an active fur market operated in Athens, Greece. Fur became a luxury during medieval times, when only kings and princes wore such extremely expensive furs as ermine and sable.The desire for furs stimulated much of the early exploration of North America. In the 1600's, fur trading became the most important industry in Canada. Edited April 10, 2013 by Hula_Girl Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 10, 2013 I've done a little bit with furs, you can get perfectly functional products long before you get pretty ones. I'd love to see wurm winter actually matter, with character heat levels being potentially fatal, thus giving fur clothes and campfires some actual need.To reduce the impact on newbies, you could do the 24 hour light tied in with warmth so they don't all freeze. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted April 10, 2013 (edited) How about tie it in with the taxidermy that is often suggested. Butcher corpse (gotta remove those organs after all), maybe make a frame type thing to support it, then apply furs to make it look just like real-life again I like the idea of animal skins being required on meditation rugs for particular paths (hate? insanity?) but I don't follow those paths so others might say it's unreasonable.Rugs for sure, maybe we can also use furs for curtains + wall hangings (screw logical material usage!)I also like the idea of giving it a use that doesn't negatively affect general gameplay (this is the problem with ideas implementing cold) - how about fur boots allow you to run faster on tundra?
