Idea's compressed

This is a compressed version from the ideas and general chat for Malard. This list is all the ideas compiled since 11/1/2020

Temptation Point Purchases

Bonuses need to scale based on the length of the tale or techs available. Bonuses need to be large enough to encourage people to join in or it risks not being used. Players need to feel like they're missing out on something. Stat bonuses specifically were pitched as scale x2 linked to cooking skill lvl+1, and speed is one of the largest things requested.

QOL Point Purchases - Changes to tech that scale

Item	Notes
Flimsy brick racks don't break	After blacksmithing is available switch to increased brick production from sturdy brick racks
Less twine breakage	No longer an option once hand looms available
Fewer mats to repair machines
Casting/Blacksmithing +1	While not max level available allow this tech

Research Point Purchases

This may not fit here since tempation points are supposed to be for those who opt in but they came up in the idea so I've added them for consideration somewhere.

Item	Notes
Detailed Research Announcements	When a problem is run into announce what materials are needed and the location, on resume announce it's resumed with x remaining time.
Research Delivery	Allow materials to be deposited at school/great hall then they will be delivered to the uni after time
Shared Research	When the regionally controlled research finish, they should speed up research timers at other locations
Unmonitored Research	Receive the research notification from uncontrolled regions

Response to the requests to make T10 research easier: The Tale hasn't even started yet. Those aspects of research are not being changed yet. -Peacefulness

Disadvantage Discussion

Simple when a + something is granted this week, next week that plus is now a minus. This should prevent selecting the same + item twice in a row.
To prevent people from just dropping temptation to avoid the malus, make the cooldown work so when you leave temptation it won't drop out until the following week.
.

Alcohol Ideas

Expand beer brewing for instance to include adding of herbs to influence the flavors -- Somebob
Add the ability to culture yeasts -- Peacefulness
At world creation ensure all flavors are accessible -- Mehrane
Add a <a href="https://atitd.wiki/tale8/User:Solaris/Test_of_the_Master_Brewer">Test of the Master Brewer</a> - Solaris
Add a way to indicate what % the wine is when bottled without having to change the label.
.

Consumables Ideas

Add smoked ham, similiar to the way cheese is done
Allow cooking recipes to be saved for future use
Add a kitchen upgrade "kitchen prep box" which you can add all items to then send them to be mixed to avoid the "kitchen is busy" message
With the addition of ice allow ice cream to be made to consume artisanal honey and fruits
Add soap to the game, using pig fat and perfume. Used to reduce plague, clean kitchens to make food last longer, prevent sheep pox, clean wool, clean knives to help them last longer
W7 Rebalance Flint and its consumption, with all the clay thats needed in a normal game time you never need carp blades because of the excess flint and nowhere to go with it (added to jira)

Current buildable item Ideas

Allow Raeli ovens to be upgraded to auto dredge tiles, after tiles are baked it would resume tile dredging
Allow fields to be small/medium/large
Allow hand plowed garden for like a 2x6 or extra small farm have it use at large end timer
When salvaging things with gear boxes return some of the gears if you have the salvage skill
Salvage an uninstalled gearbox to return gears. (Gearboxes "know" their output, but they don't remember the gears used to build them)
Permit chests to be painted and show the painted color
Permit tool required buildings to be upgraded to install the tool, ie acid bath could require extra metal and the tongs to install them permanently.
Permit kitchens to be linked to a similiar to wells/ranches -- the linked Kitches would show (food name) - (freshness) - sub menu for box/bag/eat, all other functionality would stay at the kitchen. Feedback: A game mechanic is being developed to indicate that a kitchen is open to the public. May be part of the shop architecture
Make flax gins one person startable.
Gearbox templates: being implemented
.

Gem Ideas

Gem catalog for Gem Cutting Table in alphabetical Order
Add a steam engine or spring box to the watermine for longer wind times
Add a decaying papy basket to the watermine
Add a new basket type using palm fronds that lasts much longer than the papy basket / lvl 2
Add a rotproof upgrade to the watermine -- May still decay but take much longer than the papy basket / lvl 3
Add a metal basket -- lvl 4
Add advanced watermine for open water more productive than the little one requires much more mats to handle the nile/readsea
.

Test Ideas

~~Replace Crystal Obe with Steam Engine/Mechanical obe using gears and steam engine~~ Not at this time
Revert Obe test to instant pass with build size + % to build.
.

Steam Engine Ideas

Steam engine attachment or new building steam mixer for mixing concrete
Steam engine to crush medium stone to gravel
.

Talent Ideas

Lumberjack should allow for tree planting even if it was a one time only thing similiar to the free cow
weaver talent should includ increased flax output
Coooking extended duration buff only works for the holder of the talent
Priest seems useless outside of the initial dowsing rush for the handful of players who care to go hardcore on dowsing and shed a respec afterwards. the festival of the gods stat boosts it can give start out too low to have any real tangible benefit (1 point of a given stat), and the extra levels that can push it up to 2 or 3 points (still low) take way too many talent points to climb to for any player to reasonably consider adding Priest to their build. It's a talent tree that has potential, but needs some minor tweaks to make it viable long term.
.

UI Ideas

UI timer for temporary stat effects, like food/moss/springs/incense ect...(being looked at)
A way to minimize the chat window
~~Spell check for chat~~ nope, sorry
~~Possible way to edit previous chat message~~ cannot do
Turn on chat logging to output to a file
Notepad function to save notes
When clicking your avatar, Special, Show Entomology Progress....It shows your progress on insects found for the Arthropodology skill. Please relabel that menu option! (Skill-wise, Entomology is related to beetle-breeding, not insect-finding) (fixing)
Menu to check sheet glass making skill level -- or just add it to the skills window
Update button size on charcoal ovens UI to adapt to modern day resolutions (looking at it)
Make the task list more filterable, or split test tasks away from other tasks (looking at it)
Higher endurance/str speeds the dive animation
Display total carry capacity (can display what you have, OR how much you can hold, but not both simultaneously)
Visual indicators when machines/buildings breakdown
Garlic scale much larger than other vegetables
Tag items that are immune to sweeper with an icon
Can there be an in-game tool to make fumeology tracking easier? Perhaps something similar to the tool that lists which insects we have collected, or our ability to see which herbs we have memorized.
On gear box making show the gears missing from inventory instead of all gears.
Add a Max Hotkey for distaff buildings (on the to-do list)
Allow camera rotation with hotkeys (info: If this were implemented, those keys could not be set as any other hotkey)
.

Other Ideas

Add General questing

Could start simple: 'there's an NPC at the cs that is asking for (random item) and will trade (whatever) for it!'
It doesn't even need to be particularly rewarding, but giving people more stuff to do will help those of us that binge the living hell out of this game at (hopefully) low coding cost!
Take into consideration whats going in your region/house -- If there are no art/thought/scarabs that would exclude that from being a daily or call out travel to kush for thought and have it give a slightly different reward since you now need to go out of your region. This would be a good thing when the population falls.
Have it pick 2 different types of gathers from a random list of your skills
have 1 "craft" type daily which can either pick from a lists of required research items or just something random based on your skill
Reward-wise you could keep the same token setup like you have and have your great hall keep a small list of static items and another list of things that change weekly or make a toggle that picks something something from a loot table for each of the different types of dailies and have it give the item when you complete the daily
.

Sign up for chariot, then when its ready it would port you. This would permit for art/thought judging while waiting for chariot without missing it.

Scale group events based on last weeks census or current census if its regularly kept up to date. Impacted snowfalls immensely as there were too few active players.

Pearls are currently useless after necklaces are complete they need more consumption abilities -- throne, sigils alchemy/chemistry

Add vegetable size to genome
