Conveyor belts and lifts

We just have got to have this!

- Transporting materials and items
- Boosting soldiers heading for battle
- Slowing enemies
- Pushing enemies into traps

I came up with this idea mostly because playing a builder quite often is a tedious/boring job. You have to leave your mining operation to process/move the materials. That's time better spent on gathering the supplies. Plus, it adds a new challenge to the mix - building efficient transport systems and new ways to make your enemies lives worse :)

Enough with having workshop items just drop straight down in a heap where you can't make out what's lying there. Build a conveyor belt for each type of item to separate stockpiles. Enough with crazy sawmill tricks that mostly lead to mishaps. Let the timber roll off to the saw and come back as processed wood. Enough with having to dig/crawl to china to fetch a bucket of water every time the enemy has some fire at disposal. Set up a lift that carries buckets of water up to you. And so on.

Being a builder was never a more satisfying job.

 

I like this stuff for a more sandbox/minecrafy type gamemode.
