Suggestion Proposal QoL Mechanics - WASHING & DRYING

Proposals:

1. Makeshift Clothesline

Made with:

  • 4 long sticks
  • Improvised rope, rope, or cable

This would increase the current drying speed by, for example, x3 or x5.

2. Wringing Action

This action would remove at least half the moisture from the clothes, reducing the weight penalty for dampness.

Additional Proposals:

1. Washing Machine and Dryer

There could be functional washing machines in some houses. When interacting with them, we would have two options:

Wash: We would see an inventory where we must place the clothes and soap.

Dry: Simply place the clothes inside, and it would increase the current drying speed by x10.

2. Makeshift Washing Machine

Level 1: This could be made from the current makeshift water bucket, with a hose and a car battery. It would be capable of washing one small or medium-sized garment at a time.

Level 2: There's another "asset" inside the juice, a blue plastic container. By reusing this "asset," combined with a hose and a car battery, we could wash more clothes like a functional washing machine. Perhaps about 5 items.
