Grain Elevators and Water Towers!

I would like to use Grain Elevators and Water Towers to feed my pigs and water my crops! These could be rolled into a new Quest, especially for the water tower (all that water in the new land of Haoma and Kloro?)

With these new items on my home street/backyard, I could travel Ur and not have to worry about pigs dying and crops withering.

Thanks

  • I think most people water their personal gardens as they plant, so there'd be no need for automation.  For quickness, the new potions are helpful.

    For pig feeding, there's already the remote herdkeeping equipment so I'm not sure what you mean.  I know others have suggested automation of gathering grain but I personally oppose the concept as it would feel very odd to me to have the entire animal process automated.  There've also been suggestions, I think, along the lines of having pig feeders be higher in capacity or linked to a high-capacity grain storage of some kind - is this what you mean?

  • it makes little sense to have some of the animal process automated yet we cant collect grain with a collector.  it should be all or nothing.

    a grain elevator could be a device that has capacity for 2k+ grain at once, it would replace or augment pig feeders.

  • Rather than a grain elevator, a chicken coop.  

    However, since harvesting other animals is done via machinery, we need a chicken squeezer that reaches out and grabs chickens in it's latex-gloved hands and squeezes the grain into a funnel that leads to a hopper, all while the chicken struggles and squawks.  

    (I don't much care for the chickens...)

  • If everything is going to be automated, I want a machine that simply spits out Expensive Grilled Cheese sandwiches.  I will  house the appropriate number of chickens, butterflies, and a spice tree in it.

    In fact, the whole game can be reduced to three frames; 

    1. A frame containing an animated GIF that shows some sort of machine with moving parts.
    2. A frame with numbers in it that count up.
    3. A frame that is a Text Box that flashes 'You Are Winning.'

    The bandwidth savings would be phenomenal.

  • @Dorgan: Genius! I believe you're describing an Oven.

    Elf understood what I was getting at. . .2k+ grain.

    For watering, it's tedious to water crops and on herb routes is the most underperformed task.
