Suggestion to improve smeltery

[Tommy Wright]

Brief Summary:

Improvements to smelt to make it easier to use, improve quality of life experience, less tidious and more user friendly.

Detailed Suggestion:

Currently the only way to get into smelt is by realisticly using the two main entrance doors on either side. In order do to this unless you are walking is with a bike, which means you can only bring a box at the time.During busy hours theres also alot of people doing it and its very cluttered around the smelting "pot"?



I have a suggestion that I hope can solve some of this to make it more user friendly, improves quality of life and makes smelting a little easier and more enjoyable. Im sure its had the same layout for years, so a change wouldnt be all that bad? The main door as shown in the picture could be removed. This makes an opening for people to bring vans/suvs with crates in to smelt and actually makes it accessible. The second picture shows the door from the inside.Then the third picture shows another smelting pot thingy that currently has no use.
My Idea is that we add a few more of these to smelt, clear up some of the clutter around the room. Let people unload their boxes into this and smelt entire boxes, the same way benches are used.
Currently you can only do pockets at the time which makes things take forever.


The Pros:

• Opens up for more roleplay opportunities. Groups can go in together and talk and get to know one another etc.
• Quality of life boost for every grafter in the city. The current state of smelt, makes it awful to use if you get big orders.
• Allows vehicles to get somewhat close to the smelting pots and makes it better for everyone.
• Reduces clutter in smelt for the people that frequent in there.

The Cons:

• Mapping work required
• Dev stuff
• Vehicle overcrowding. Headaches etc.

Does this suggestion change balance on the server ?

I dont believe it would.

-1 the smeltery is fine as it is, has a nice balance of accessibility and balances the income you can make from materials, not hurting the economy. in my opinion an open smeltery sounds too easy, and an easy way to minmax money.

• Opens up for more roleplay opportunities. Groups can go in together and talk and get to know one another etc.

this has already been a thing in the smelt for years.

• Allows vehicles to get somewhat close to the smelting pots and makes it better for everyone.

ngl knowing how rpuk players are, this would be a clusterfuck of aids

• Reduces clutter in smelt for the people that frequent in there.

would have the opposite impact than this, as soon as things become easier to minmax, people (myself included) spam the shit out of it.

Does this suggestion change balance on the server ?

I dont believe it would.

100 percent would impact the material economy.

I have seen a MLO for this a while ago and Tbf it was fine, taking a bike through a door is ass.

However that is all that is needed more smelting area isn’t.

I would go for more of have more than one location inside to smelt or different areas smelt different materials
