Improvements to BUCKETS
« on: November 23, 2015, 10:28:54 am »

Dwarves have invented buckets.  They need to put the to better use.

The most obvious improvement is that dwarves should be able to equip buckets.  Then, when they vomit, they have a bucket handy to vomit in instead of vomiting all over everything.

Another obvious improvement to buckets would be the creation of mops.  A mop would take 1 wood and 1 yarn, and would require a bucket to use.  Obviously they would be used to mop up vomit. 

Eventually, it should be possible to use the build menu to place a bucket in a small private room that seats one dwarf.  For as much as they drink, and eat, it's a wonder they don't all explode by the time they reach adulthood.

I don't think carrying a bucket around all the time is very realistic but maybe they could use it if they know they're gonna vomit, such as when they have to go outside.

Another obvious use for the bucket is everything related to ordure and urine, which may or may not be implemented.

As for the mop, it makes sense but it's one of those things that have yet to be properly implemented, tools. They also forge metal stuff without hammers, tongs, aprons and, yes, buckets.

They have their beards for forge tools.

It's also probably how they mop right now.
