Local Stores for Colony Visitors

[GarfunkleA90]

I'm sure there are already plans for expanding on visitor interaction, but how about adding in the ability to create a local store for visitors to purchase some of your items?

Perhaps you could create a zone designating a location as a store, then add in storage containers such as shelves and display cases as a means of storing your products. When visitors to your colony enter the store you could choose to open up a trade menu in a similar fashion the trade system already in the game. Depending on the prices and quality of items you sell this could also be a way of gaining goodwill with certain factions while also making a profit.

I think it'd be nice to have another option of trade before having to invest in a comm relay, what do you guys think? Feel free to comment and help expand on this idea.

A cafeteria would also be nice. Visitors need to eat and when the food they brought runs out they can purchase food from your colony to keep themselves fed while staying and for the journey home.

A store robbery would be really cool. It could be a small group of bandits that're dressed up in cowboy hats and dusters that steal your store items.

A cafeteria would also be a cool addition, it'd be nice to keep visitors around for a day or two longer.

Now that we have new areas (animal, pawn), it seems like it would be a simple matter to create a "guest" area, where visitors head when they spawn on your map. You could outfit it with beds, chairs, tables and joy items, and visitors would hang out there until it's time to leave. If enough visitors leave happy or content, you get a bit of reputation or something. It would also make visitors more useful, because its' easier to take advantage of their social chat bonuses if they are restricted to small area.

Yes visitor areas. That way they wouldn't freeze to death in winter, though it is a nice source of meat.... Hope to see that as well as a (vanilla) combat overhaul in April-ish.https://ludeon.com/forums/Smileys/default/grin.gif
