Jack Shandy 242 Posted January 29, 2019 (edited) A tavern for crew storage would be a good addition. We already have chairs to reduce the cost of crew when sitting on them. A Tavern Bar construct-able item that further reduces cost in a radius around it would be a great new item. It could also count a ship when using the move to option on the command wheel, obviously with a rather large radius, it is a pub after all. And for even greater QOL have them seek nearby chairs when sent to the tavern. Further option: Give it an inventory the same as a preserving bag so it can have an upkeep cost, and if food and drink are placed inside, reduce the cost of the crew by a %age for each different food / drink item placed inside, cooked meat and water a small amount, crafted food and drinks a high amount. If you have enough variety crew cost could be reduced to nothing as they spend all the money you give them in the tavern.

Draega Zintul 10 Posted February 15, 2019 (edited) Second this idea. Can make it work like the bank: as a preconstructed building that the player can't enter, but can interact with. Send npcs to the inventory the same way we send them to nearby ships, take them out through the tavern inventory interface. Can place food/beer/whatever in the inventory as well like the preserving bag. Npc management as it currently exists is a nightmare. We are constantly losing ours to random glitches. We have a brig full of npcs that we can't even interact with anymore becuase they keep blinking in and out of existence. If they're unseated, they'll glitch through the floors and into the water and mutiny... We've had them float away when being unseated in the middle of long distance excursions, etc. A place to house them when not in use would be a good start.

Falcatta 5 Posted February 22, 2019 We set up a tavern in our Company town using a resource box and larder for this exact reason. It would be great if there was a way to reduce the cost similar to ships. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jack Shandy 242 Posted February 25, 2019 I'm currently leveling a schooner in crew and accommodation, then intend to strip it of cannons and sails and build a tavern on it. It won't accommodate many crew but it'll be nice and cheap for those it does. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
