Public Access Item Display and Gates - Another possible solution to item permision

When having parties in our homes it can be stressful trying to protect items, but you want guests to be able to pick up certain items. This could feasibly be solved by "vending" machines. We could buy/craft machines that are we can put drinks/meals or other objects into that guests could take an amount determined by the owner. (options for taking 5 items every 10 minutes or even 50 items every 2 minutes.) 

Our front and back yards could have gates that animals can walk through freely but glitchen without keys cannot. We can keep our herbs/RHK machines or whatever safe and let the public harvest trees/mine rock or whatever.

Any thoughts?

  • I would prefer front yard stay as public/community spaces. Don't it use as your personal garden if you don't want it stolen. Think of it more as public park, not an extension of your home

    But, inside your house and the back garden, yes, it would be nice if you could hold worry free parties at home. Upstairs could have a lockable door. 

    As for party goods, things you don't want taken should be Placed, and cannot be picked up. Things you want to be used or taken should be Dropped. Limiting your guests with a number of items per visit seems awfully rude to me. In a real life party some people would be abstemious and some would be downright greedy. But most people would take eat and drink a reaonable and fair amount. You wouldn't hold a party and tell your guests that they are limited to 5 food items and 2 drinks each, or whatever.

    And a Glitch party should be similar. If someone is too greedy and hoovers everything up, and peer pressure doesn't stop them, kick them out or never invite again

  • Very valid points
    On the gates: Right now we can only have one of each cultivation - so now that I think about it it's not such a big deal. However, it would be nice to put out machines for the animals that wont be stolen - Gates are only one of many possible solutions to this problem.

    Limiting drinks: You're absolutely right, maybe limiting items is a bit rude - so "vending" machines without the limitations - I just want to make sure that my bags (or any item) wont be stolen if I forgot to place them in decorate mode. I switch out bags a lot and don't think about very much.

  • LOVE the idea of a lockable door to the upstairs! The vending machine idea is interesting too.

  • I think vending machines for free stuff is a great idea (- functionally, not visually). I would love to leave a supply of foods, drinks, and other items outside my house for travellers, but not so one person could wipe out the entire stock in 60 seconds or less! Or maybe our auto-vender we're to get(?) can include free stuff that way...

  • That would be cool! It would give me an incentive to make medium level food!
