Street projects idea (moved from General)

[As appropriately requested, a thought from a thread in General which is more appropriately an Idea:]

Add 'Construction Offices', small buildings somewhat like the Bureacratic Halls or Machine Rooms, on various streets across Ur. Inside, street maps show the present state of the land, including the future sites 'under construction'. An NPC foreman (possibly a street spirit, but maybe an appropriate animal... you know they could have fun with a Glitchy Beaver) accepts donations toward the new construction. HOWEVER, the limit on donation isn't a finite quantity, it's a limited amount of time: the time until the new street is finished/released (for example, maybe one or two game days). Everyone who donates the appropriate items during that time gets a reward, and after a certain threshold is reached, you get a trophy piece for your total contributions.

So unlike the previous street projects, you don't have to go to one specific location, deal with lag from the swarms of competitors, try to beat the rush to click on the 'donate' button, or hope to have the right stack of items in your bag at that moment. Yet, you still get to trade hoarded goods for something unique, plus it fits the theme of 'build it bigger'!

  • +1 For a continuously improving Ur, through the sweat of our imaginary brows. 

    The whole unlimited resource dump idea though is kind of sketchy, would the project improve the street? Theres lots of rewards we can get from it, but what is the ultimate goal here? The project objective can be whatever it needs to be, but I want to see progress in Ur.

    I want to be able to visit a street, donate or apply resources to a project that would add more resources/landscaping on that street. Eventually you would see glitchens either focusing on one street until it cannot fit anything else in it, or pick one street and stick to it. The amount of items it would take, should be massive to prevent players from upgrading all of Ur in a matter of weeks. Make sure each street would last a matter of months to be fully upgraded.  Whatever it takes, just make Ur nice, with street projects.
