Did I miss something? (building levels)

[QUOTE=Dewm;46182995]You are correct, and me being stupid forgot to put the this in there:

Walls build instantly.

So Once you go out and collect the proper amount of resources (which will still have the grind that garry wants) then you go back, and build/upgrade the walls instantly.

Now you could change the amount of resources needed, so instead of spending 20 seconds collecting resources, and 5 minutes pounding wood.

it would be 5 minutes collecting resources, and 5 seconds pounding wood.

That way you still get garrys grind, but instead of staring on one wall, and holding down one button, listening to one sound effect for 5 minutes.

you get to walk around and actually see new things, and have to be cautious. etc.. for 5 minutes.

Same amount of overall time per wall, but way more interesting. IMO[/QUOTE]

Your idea seem good, but i think building should still require some (little) time.
if not, we could build huge building in an istant if we have enough resources and it's not good gameplay wise.
When we build, we are outside and defensles. It's a risk we have to take into considération and i think this is a gameplay element that gary wishe in is game.

your right on a couple points, the first being this is the gameplay that garry apparently wants.. doesn't mean I think its fun.

2nd point you made, you are outside and defenceless while building a house... but for how long? enough for 4 foundations and 8 walls?

you can do all the upgrading and building "up" from inside a house.. so not a whole lotta risk there.

But lets say you HAD to build from the outside (for whatever reason).. you are staring at a wall/floor the entire time, so it'd be pretty easy to come up and bolt action you from behind.. not a whole lotta gameplay there IMO.

Last but not least, if you are upgrading your walls from the outside... you probably deserve to die XD
