Metal Pot Features:

  • Hit the pot with a rock or stick as you run to potentially scare off hyenas or wolves, alert your friends to where you are at a distance, or draw the attention of the rust monsters that haunt the lands to you. 
    • This form of hitting the pot makes it so that each sounding is timed with your click, allowing the player to make music or communicate via code at a distance
    • How fast this feature registers clicks and makes a noise must have a limit so a player with an autoclicker doesn’t lag the game or break any ears with 700 pot bangs per second
  • Smack things and your friends with it to create a lovely noise
    • This form of hitting the pot makes only one sounding per thing hit
  • Wearable on your head (at least the ones that are not ruined with glue and sulfuric acid) for a little armor when you’re desperate
  • Used to create twice as much as a ceramic pot can of meals, glue, candles, etc. Useful for those bigger servers
  • Fuel and time would be scaled accordingly

 

Fabrication Examples:

  • Hammer out copper pots on an anvil
  • Cast bronze or iron pots using sand molds

 

Potential Use Cases:

  • Luring rust monsters away from or towards something
  • Potentially using copper pot to scare away weaker threats when they're still a threat to the player in the copper age
  • Signaling player position out of range of proximity voice chat
  • Example code: Two bangs to signal people to come to you. One bang to answer that you're alive and to show where you are.
  • Set up a rudimentary form of communication between mountain tops, across a valley, between two distant ships, etc. using morse code
  • Make sweet, sweet music together. (Maybe each type of metal pot makes a different pitch with iron being the lowest?)
  • You wish to wear the latest in survivor fashion
  • Play the song of your people as you ride into battle on your elk
  • Annoy your friends  : )
