1) Expand the bounds for these buildings so that you would get the Workshop buff while standing outside of the building's entrance. The only awkward side effect of this is that you would also receive the Indoors buff while still outside the building.

This is a good option as this would sort of make roofs feel a little more like shelters too since you could stand just outside of the building part where walls go down and it would shelter you like if you were standing under the eaves.

3) Require the player to select the Workshop to use its tools and materials while crafting.

option 1 works but I think this is the optimal option because for the small tents you can split up the materials/tools you want to craft with between tents.

Im guessing there will be issues if multiple people try to use the same workshop at a time? Oo i need to test that.

For players that were saying the panel is too big, is this transparency good enough and does it resolve your issues? If not, what is the main problem with having the large Crafting Panel? Do you want to be able to see if a creature or another player is nearby or is there another reason?

Can we be allowed to drag the crafting window so parts of it are off screen?

like if i grab the top right part of the crafting window, i expect to be able to drag it over to the left side of the client so the recipe list on the left is no longer visible in the frame which frees up the center of my screen.

I would then be able to see and select objects which i suspect is the issue other people are having..

It's the center part of the screen that is basically blocked all the time when the crafting window is up the moment i move it from its default location. But if we could just move the panel so we can have part of it off screen that should solve most of the issues with it being too big.


If you are worried players will drag the crafting window off screen and cause a increase in support issues (such as the issue opened earlier) then maybe just put a anchor point at the center of the crafting window so you can only drag up to half of the window off screen (ie 50% or more always shows)

Or if we were able to hide the recipe list so the menu interface was smaller we would still have access to the center screen.

here is a mock up of what i mean:

You currently can only use a Workshop if you are the owner of the building.

Can we get the ability to transfer ownership of the building to another person in the tribe?

Maybe it could be like a function in the social panel so if I target a building then go in there i have a option to transfer the ownership of the building i have targeted to some one else i have selected in a list like on my tribe window.

then a pop up that says "are you sure you want to transfer ownership of the selected building?"

This is also a issue with a stable people in my tribe start wanting to tame more than one pet and they don't realize then need 20 architecture to build a stable.

On tribe buildings i normally just set the permissions to tribe and have the members set the permission on baskets, but some players really want to be the one that "owns" the building. I imagine the tribe leader/some one with a high enough rank can always remove the inventory and dismantle the building if they need to repossess it so that's never really an issue.

I try to get people to help out but i have to use a alt and i have to set their rank to something under the other person so that i can put down projects and have people build so they can level up while helping on a tribe project. I would love to just be able to transfer a building with out having to force a person to go though architect when they just want to do something like hunting.

Oo maybe like the tribe leader can do it for any building so when some one puts a totem down they can take over the buildings and actually own everything..

eh...though i imagine i can just get everyone that wants a workshop to grind to 20 and then have them build the Gadu Thatch Roof 4x4 and stable and just be done with it...


Oh that reminds me is there a limit on the number of workshops per tribe?
