Binoculars

[Kiersten]

I think it would be fantastic if binoculars were an option in the game. I like the idea of being able to stand atop of my fortress and look out into the distance for incoming enemies.

We could gather items such as:
Glass from a watch
Some type of tubbing from the plane?
Deer skin
etc...

Hmm if they ever implement binoculars in the game, it's most likely that they make it a collectible item, not craftable... It is way to complexe to be able to craft it.
Mostly knowing that there has been many people on the island before us, one of them might have been there for exploration

That would be a great idea! :)

I just posted this in another area, but it's relevant here:

New Items:

BINOCULARS or SPYGLASS and/or STATIONARY SPYGLASS -
Found, or crafted from a broken booze bottle bottom and a broken watch glass cover. Held together with lizard skin and sap and cloth. Stationary spyglass add same materials as a marker stick.

WOOD SANDER or WOOD PASTER -
Found (or even added as function to Repair Hammer), or craftable utilty item that requires sticks and sap that would be ground up together and used to even-out/fix where ladder bridges don't quite align with platforms or other wooden structure minor faults.

FOOD (MEAT) BASKETS -
Instead of having 6 or more Dry Food Racks (the new single type) to have the ability to store already dried meats from the racks into a holder similar to an arrow basket holder to store the meats.

Improvements:

More space on storage shelves. Having only four spaces per row for the bookholder type shelf or four or five spaces for the bomb holder shelf is really poor use of space consider it takes about 8 logs to make those shelving units (book shelf looking one).

Nerf the new Cross Natives so that they can't jump 4 stories high over a foundation and a stick fence. And certainly not have three of them able to do it at the same time. (in Normal Mode)

Please have deconstructed items yield more materials than just a very small fraction. i.e. a deconstructed foundation of 72 logs yeild only 4 or 5 logs.

Thank you for your consideration. I love this game!!!!!!! Mary =-)

I agree, this would be great.

Making binoculars obtainable on a dead corpse say on the start plane would be great instead of making them yourself which would be ... well stupid

I don't think it'd be stupid, we have to construct everything else.
