Both ideas are cool

Yeah I agree, you can easily make them en masse

I was thinking about barrels recently and I came to the conclusion that they are quite shallow when it comes to their mechanics. Right now you seal them by pressing a button and they unseal themselves, and I don't think this matches the Vintage Story feeling at all. So I've got some suggestions for how they could work. First of all, replacing the seal button with the actual need to use planks or some kind of lid to seal them would be nice. We can keep their menu, just let's not use a boring button to seal them. If they are sealed, we should be able to move them in the backpack slots, just like with beehives. When moving them, placing them in any direction would be so cool (vertical or horizontal). After the process inside them is finished, they should remain sealed until we unseal them manually using some tool or without one to not make things annoying. If a barrel contains a drinking liquid (or any liquid, if feeling generous) and the barrel is placed horizontally, we could use a new item - a tap - to attach it to the barrel (holding a tap and a hammer in the offhand) to extract the liquid from inside. Going for that tavern with beverages vibe. If you want to make it extra realistic and nice, we could have some markings or notes added after sealing the barrel, with information about its contents and the date of sealing. What do you think about the ideas? Edit: I just remembered that we are getting a crowbar, so we could use it to unseal the barrels.
