Stockade Office/Farming Office

Post by Irylia »

Here's a few ideas for things to add to the stockade office to help out farmers/husbanders:

- Allow rent expansions to go down as well as up.
- Increase base rent to help balance cost of living vs. income.
- Make expansion costs higher (possibly per expansion).
- Add a line to animal ordering that shows which type of shelter they require.
- Add a line to animal ordering that shows what type of food it eats (even if generalized).
- Add a line to animal ordering that shows what the animal produces and about how often.
- Add a helpfile for "rent" and "rent expansion" or just more clarity on the commands when typing them by themselves.
- Add something about bees existing (since they're not an ordered animal), along with their requirements.

To add to this list:

- Have some way to list which livestock you currently own so that you know what's eligible for sale and don't sell the wrong ones.
- Include the buyback rate somewhere in the actual browse menu so people know how much they'll get back before buying.
- Include a way to sell more than one animal at once: sell <color> <species> qty <#> OR sell <species> qty <#> (if you want to be less specific)

As seen in today's changelogs:

- Livestock that produce goods such as wool, milk, or eggs will now have their produce noted when ordered.
- Ordering livestock will now say which shelter on the buyer's farmland the animal will live in. If no shelter is available, the buyer will be told what type of shelter they will need in order to purchase the animal.
- It is now possible to use the rent reduction command in farmland offices in order to reduce the amount of owned farmland. (This option and syntax are now mentioned in the output of the rent command by itself.)
- Added the sellback price of livestock to the output of the order command when getting more information about a potential animal purchase.
- Added some info to the output of the order and sell commands about typing sell by itself to see a list of any livestock on one's farm.

It doesn't seem like the rent reduction part actually does anything. Unless I'm doing it wrong. I did bug it as well just in case it's broken.
