SquirrelPup Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 The first thing I thought of when multiplayer was announced was, cool, now players can divide up the work and focus more on specific things. This makes it a lot more practical to stay home and work the crockpots and maybe even lay out some comfy carpets to build a nice nest. Actually, what's the point of carpet in this game? Wiki doesn't say it does anything positive at all. I'd think it would at least help keep you warm in the winter...

Morgan17 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 The purpose of carpets is for decoration and to make trails to your base Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/37952-now-you-can-be-a-housewife/#findComment-506103 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tayburro Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 There is a mod called useful flooring that makes it insulate you from cold but in the vanilla game it does nothing but look dapper.

Tedion Posted July 1, 2014 Share Posted July 1, 2014 Carpet and other manmade turfs prevent lureplants from spawning. They also look nice.

It is similar to early hunter gather tribes where the men would go out and get supplies while the women would stay around camp gathering and doing the day to day “house work”. Mostly likely you already do both of these things in single player and it would only make sense to divide up the labor between those on the map making it a MP based thread.

Barbarian Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 Just chipping in to say, yes I totally got it too. I can imagine players taking turns at various tasks - wouldn't it be refreshing if RL was like that too.

GalloViking Posted July 5, 2014 Share Posted July 5, 2014 it does nothing but look dapper.Strange thing: In this game, everything dapper restores sanity, so why not carpets? Actually, I prefer keep my beefalo wool to refuel my firepit. It's, to be honest, its only usefull function once you have winter clothes.To answer to the topic, yup, I like this housewife idea. Alone, you don't have enough time to do everything you'd like to...

the truthseeker Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 MP and MMO games have the understanding we all have "roles." Obviously, we're not worrying about "tank, DPS, control" here, but we are worrying about "combat, gathering, crafting, cooking," etc. How the labors are divided is a viable question (as long as it's not assumed on racist/sexist means of course.)
