Hi! I am fairly new to Vintage Story and haven't perused the forums much, so apologies if this has already been asked. I think conveyers, and other mechanical bits would be a phenomenal addition to the game, there are already watermills and windmills, so i feel that having a conveyer or some kind of moving parts would be awesome! same with having functional gears to move, or rotate structures potentially? I think it would be cool to have something to make a clock or something with moving parts where you can adjust the speed with gear ratios or some such, i think it could bring a lot of life not only into the technical game, but also building itself. With functional/moving blocks or specific parts there could be a lot more depth put into builds. Maybe like having smoke stacks shift up and down, or the previously mentioned clock. I think an almost steampunk idea would fit with the games aesthetic, it doesn't even need to be something like fully autonomous things, that may be out of the scope of what the game is trying to accomplish, but some sort of moving block would be really neat!
The other thing i was thinking was hot air balloons for travel, I don't know how feasible that would be, or if it fits the direction the devs want to go, but i think more forms of movement like that would be really cool!
Thanks, PickledPeaches
