Spontaneously Combusting Kegs

Spoiler

Clearly kegs are a double-edged sword as they stand right now. If you sneeze on these things wrong, you could turn the entire game around in favor of the enemy. That's why I avoid building demolition factories entirely. This is a simple suggestion:

Make the only means of igniting kegs be lighting the fuse, hitting them with fire arrows, or blowing them up with other explosives. Any other types of damage to the keg should simply destroy it with no accompanying kegsplosion.

This would not only be much more realistic, but it should dramatically reduce accidental griefing. Players will also gain the option to defuse a keg coming toward their base by destroying it. Thoughts? Comments?

 

i like the idea of being able to defuse a keg. About the spontaeous explosions... many times has the ENTIRE team been blown up on the boat....

 

Yepyepyep yesyesyes plzdo.

 

This. just Yes.

 

Yeah, kegs need some work so that they're not death traps to the team wielding them and success with them is more than lighting the fuse and throwing it at the enemy, knowing that you've already blown up at least some of the blocks near them.

 

Considering kegs are filled with blackpowder, keg should fall apart and spit fire around, setting things on fire, only if hit with fire arrow.
