Servant, put away my things!

After a long day adventuring, an Avatar wants to dump their equipment, gatherings, loot and leftover reagents and kick back...not have to clean house and organize.

Servants should take instructions to move items from one chest to another within your property. The higher-level the servant, the more instructions they can remember!

This way they can be requested to

1. Move specific items from one chest to another (e.g. iron ore to the ore chest)
2. Move everything from one chest to another (e.g. if there were a lot of heavy items that requires multiple trips)
3. Move categories of items (e.g. housing, crafting, equipment) from one chest to another

The "Instruction setup" UI could be a version of the Vendor interface where the "Buy" and "Sell" tabs represent the contents of two different chests (perhaps, source and "target"). Items dragged to the "Proposed" section would be transferred to the chest that wasn't their source. A set of instructions defined here would be a "rule." Circular logic (between 2 or more chests) would probably be a performance drag so that should be prevented.

The "Rule" UI could be a variation of the deck interface where you can name rules, specify source and target chests, and the game counts the number of instructions in each rule. Selecting a chest within the lot would highlight the rules that involved that chest.

If one of the chests involved were to leave the property the instruction would be display as "broken" and would not be executed.

Then..those servants would be making themselves useful!

 

I'd like servants to....

Close Doors
Greet Guests
Keep messages for guests that stop by when I'm away

 

I want my servant to loot for me

 

I want my servant to fetch my super suit and open the secret passage to my bat cave.

 

Lum would absolutely LOVE to implement this.

 

I want my servant to polish my staff.
