Posted July 20, 2013 There are some people that have a much higher masonry skill than carpentry i think you should be able to plan a houses with a trowel and it uses your masonry skills in the same way it does now for a mallet/hammer with carpentry. This way if a person has a higher masonry skill they can use that higher skill to make a bigger house plan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 20, 2013 Seems natural, +1. But maybe someone knows why it's like this at the moment. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 20, 2013 Use whichever skill is higher or perhaps the median? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 20, 2013 Use whichever skill is higher or perhaps the median?Everything, just not median, unless this will lead to bigger houses. I reached 50+ carpentry with masonry below 20, it wouldn't be fair then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 20, 2013 +1 makes sense to me. Partial interchangeability of tools is already in game with mallet and hammer, so doing something similar with trowel and mallet/hammer shouldn't be a big deal, I wouldn't think. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted July 21, 2013 Thats where i got this from i am just now leveling my alt on the new cluster and worked hard yesterday to get the 30 masonry and then not be able to build the first house i wanted because i needed more carpentry, lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

First you build the hobo shack, move on to a larger wooden house, then you build stone housing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 21, 2013 I read the most recent updates on the client, one was buildings can now be planned with a trowel instead of mallet. Could this be the actual fix in the op, or just what it says it is and still carp based. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 21, 2013 (edited) They talked about using a trowel to plan house floors but you can not plan walls or the building itself. I do think you should be able to though and since they are already expanding the trowels uses it would be a good time to add it..IMO Edited July 21, 2013 by Kegan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 21, 2013 (edited) weekly repost, eh Tyroon? What are you talking about? weekly repost tyroon? i think you must have me mixed up with someone else Edit: I found out what you were talking about doing a search of your posts to see who you were. I seen there was another thread about this that you posted in but no it was not posted by me. I did do a search of "trowel house plan" before i posted this and nothing come up so i went ahead and posted this. Guess i am not the only one that thinks the idea is a good one.

Posted July 21, 2013 its an excellent idea, one that i have wished to be changed for a long time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 21, 2013 Or even just change it so wooden houses use carpentry to plan, stone use masonry. Probably made upwards of 80 houses, have 48 writs on me atm for this deed. My masonry is much higher than my carpentry, but if I want to plan something big I have to ask for help from my crazy shipbuilding villager. He's made 3 houses since playing the game....

Posted July 23, 2013 No you'll have a tent you can plan with your spindle if you don't watch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 23, 2013 Tents would be epic. Tent pegs, anyone? Limited to, say, 2x2 area, easy to destroy, but very easy to make. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
