I like the idea of being able to attach the small boat on to a large ship. I think that would be a neat addition.

True I'd agree with the fact that it may be tedious if the npc characters served an OP function to the base. They may not have to serve a purpose to production or efficiency at all but something to breathe life in to potential villages or towns. I've always enjoyed building villages but at the end of the day I've created a ghost town. I think simply having a "human" presence would add a neat element even if they were cosmetic in function. Or even if their function was limited so not to make them a necessity. The idea of hostile npc humans is always fun. Just one more thing thing that could kill ya! ;p

Hello, Ive just discovered this game recently and I've been watching some videos of gameplay and checked out some creations made by players on the forums. I'm very excited for Dec to get my hands on the game. One thing I think would be a nice addition is the ability to add human life to the game through npc characters. I've created lots of buildings and villages in mine craft before and the one thing it has missed is life. I thought it'd be neat if, for example they added a benefit to production. So for example if you "craft" or find a blacksmith npc, you can place him in a sheltered location with 3 furnaces within the radius and the blacksmith npc will then be able to take all of your raw iron and craft it in to ingots for you (instead of you filling the furnaces yourself). Same rules would apply for a tailor npc surrounded by weaving looms for example. Thats just my idea to add human npcs in to the game to give potential villages or towns more life to it. Hopefully that idea made some sense. I'm curious about how you think about it or if you have your own ideas. Thanks, looking forward to playing!
