Rooms (Skill-use bonuses in houses)
While I was using Meditation in my house, I thought that it would be fun if I had a yoga mat or a Newton's cradle or something like that that would let me meditate for longer, or give me a bonus to my energy and or mood. Then I thought that that concept could be broadened to include other skills to make them either work faster, be more productive, or use less energy. I also worried about whether this would unbalance things, and how that could be mitigated, and I came up with the idea of making rooms for houses. Rooms would take up a specific set of space, and only allow specific furniture in it. The Prereqs should be high, including Furniture Making 2, and maybe Potion Making 3. They should be at least 4 wall-segments wide.
Teleportation Pad - Teleports cost half energy.
Meditation Studio - Meditations reap 50% more energy and/or mood.
Kitchen - Drinkmaking, and cooking skills take half the time to complete.
Laboratory - Alchemy skills use 10% fewer elements, and take 20% less energy to make.
Shop - Industrial skills use 20% less energy, and machines take 20% less time to finish.
Refinery - Smelting and Grinding take 50% less energy.

- OH GOSH YES
- Yessssssss.
- I would love this, especially if towers were included.
- It would be a great mechanic for enabling taverns - public spaces where consumption of food and beverage give a premium over what they otherwise might, encouraging Glitchen to gather around the fire and hoist a tankard with friends.
- We'll need a hoisting room

A hoisting room! How have I lived this long without one?
+111, especially for a tavern. -
If the rooms required a cover charge, most of which went into a currant sink, that would keep it from getting too imbalanced
So +1 from me too! - Ohh, all these are great ideas +1 Especially the taverns. Make it something that groups of glitch can get together to build, perhaps. (though I heard that the old 'street improving' concept had issues so maybe it wouldn't work that way.) Excellent ideas all around though.
- ooo I like this!! +++

I LOVE the idea but maybe instead of only allowing certain furniture items in a particular room, require that certain furniture items must be added to the room (that sounds like the same thing but it is not, I promise).
What I'm saying is rather than the room only taking furniture items x, y, and z to the exclusion of furniture items a, b and c, require that the room include x, y and z and let glitchen add a, b, and c if they wish.
This would ensure that rooms take a certain amount of currants/materials to make, but would allow for greater individualization. - whimpypotato expanding on your idea, certain furniture items could add to the bonus.
