Make Sheds Cheaper or Bigger

[Crim]

I'm both a min/maxer and an aethetics player...

So I REALLY want to use the Shed for Storage (and by Storage I mean storing Jars and Kegs) for aethetics reasons; but it's incredibly difficult to do so when the Barn does it too...

While being a lot cheaper...
and a lot bigger...

Seriously... It's not even close, 6000 vs 15000 for a smaller room? Why?

Best Suggestion so far is to make it smaller on the World map, instead of 3x7. Make it 3x5 instead. That would let us slide it into more places and allow us to have a few more of them around the map.

To be fair, you need to have all the stone and wood, which if bought is pretty damn expensive.

I'd support increasing the dimensions by 1, I guess. (So if it's 10x10, make it 11x11, or whatever) This would add several spaces, at least. I'm okay with the barn being slightly better, since it requires more materials and you need to build it 3x.

I think the reason the shed's so small is it's the size of the first house in the game, before you get the kitchen. A laziness thing, I guess.

It'd be fine if the shed's farm aspect was smaller. its nearly the size of a barn. a barn holds 135 (fully upgraded) and is just slightly bigger a shed holds 67 machines.

shed's are nicer to use since you don't have those corners and whatnot. so if it was say 3x3 instead of 3x7 it would be ALOT More useful. For storage or whatever. as it stands I'm using delux barns. purely for shed type purposes. cost really isn't an object. at least not in money wood or stone.

I didn't even think about that alternative, mind if I add it to the OP?

Aka - make it small on the world map. I think 3x3 would look a little scrunched up, but 3x5 would look really good and definitely help the argument choice between the 2.

Initial Farmhouse is 10x7, and the door is 1 slot off. So, it wasn't pure laziness since it is slightly bigger and different than the farmhouse already.

If we buy all the resources its still a 12k vs 18k difference.

Well if you could fit 32 kegs in a 1x1 chest, shouldn't you be able to fit 67 kegs in a 2x1 shed?

I don't really understand this last post, I already agreed with you that it's an awesome idea.

Barn at full size can hold upto 135 and is 4x7 on the world map, meaning it takes up 28 squares on the world map.
At 3x5, the Shed would still look really good. Would be able to fit 67x2 = 134 and would take up 30 squares on the world map. With advantages such as being able to fit in more places and being less resource intensive than the Big Barn.

It's easily the cleanest, most optimal solution.
