ok folks, we need your help! 😃

@Geoffers747 had the brilliant idea to toss up a poll based on @easto1a’s theread here:

> [@Monthly Content Creep](http://discourse.stonehearth.net/t/monthly-content-creep/7675):
>
> To clear a few things up first I don’t mean monthly updates only or do this instead of the epic planned upcoming features. As it was used in Minecraft dev terms by content creep I mean when all of a sudden a lot of little bits of content are added suddenly to fill out the game. This was recently done really successfully with @Tom asking for craftable items for the weaver and carpenter. The reason I suggest this as a monthly activity is that while the huge features such as mining and better com…

the basic idea is to have one or more “doodad polls” which could provide some insight into what the community would like to see next… at least as far as doodads are concerned… 😉

**keep in mind** , the doodads themselves have to be “implementable” given the current infrastructure (no suggestions for windmills and aqueducts as those sorts of systems arent in place yet)…

a good rule of thumb:

> basically things that require Qubicle, and very little to no code

so more along the lines of new animals, plants, decorative pieces, etc.

with that in mind, we would like to ask for **not only the categories, but the items to list within** … so blatantly stealing borrowing from @Teleros’s suggestion in the same thread, here’s a starting point/example list:

- **Animals**

- Dogs

- Cats

- Chickens

- **Crops/Plants**

- Wheat

- Rice

- Tomatoes

- **Decorations**

- Lamppost

- Flowerbox

- Picnic Table

- **Furniture**

- Sofa

- Padded Chair

- New Doors

- **Trees**

- Elm

- Willow

so there you go folks… please add your categories and items…

once we have a fairly healthy set of lists, we’ll toss up the corresponding polls and get to voting! 👍

My only concern with this is that some of these - particularly animals - require a fair bit more work, due to the need to animate them.

Now that that’s out of the way, how best to choose what to submit to @Tom? I’m thinking it might be best perhaps to do something like this for him:

“Okay, cats & dogs won, but crops were a close third, and in particular wheat and potatoes.”

It’ll give @Tom more leeway in what we demand he creates he can do each time, which I’m thinking he might appreciate 😉 .

I would love to see some yaks 🙂  
_But_ if animals would be a lot of work as @Teleros said. I would really like to see: corn, different flower patches and beech.

> [@Teleros](#):

indeed… and the examples i provided were simply in alphabetical order (as opposed to user preference)… but as @sdee indicated (the rule of thund bit), as long as its primarily Qubicle related, with “little to no code”, it’s fair game… 😄

> [@Teleros](#):
>
> how best to choose what to submit

well thats the beauty of having multiple categories, with each representing an individual poll… we can (eventually) submit several lists, each representing the communities preference for that particular doodad type…

@Tom then has a large sample set of “data” from which to draw inspiration… 😉

Yak would be cool maybe in the future add the possibility to mount them and make a little buff for mountain biome over the standard horse. Add something that could be implemanted without coding but would required future code to be complete like horse is in the fair game contract ? ^^

They said that water would be quite hard to code. 🙂  
But a well would be cool though (or something like that)

Wells shouldn’t need water implemented yet, but actual water is for the other poll thread - this is stuff that’s _easy_ to do 😃 .

indeed! remember the rule of thumb: can be completed in Qubicle with little to no code required…

loving all the Halloween themed suggestions too… scarecrows and jack-o-lanterns would be sweet! 👍

What if they were to release **a new wall and roof design each playable build (not the actual _shape_, just the pattern)** and we could vote on which of them should be implemented out of half a dozen choices or so? For now, it’d just be wooden building component pieces, but later it could include stone, metals, etc., choices.

Considering it seems like it would mostly just involve some designing, retexturing, and fitting in the existing system, I don’t _think_ it would be too difficult…

I think a key thing would be two types of stairs: one for inside a house and one for outside.

Another thing I would really like to see are some extinct creatures, many of the following could possibly be added without any change to the current animations available.

Oreodonts  
Cynognathus  
Entelodont: [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y_mFXLZW5P0) (some additional creatures in this vid)  
The Dodo bird  
Tasmanian Tiger (Thylacine): [Tasmanian Tiger\/ thylacine combined footage](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=odswge5onwY)  
Kannemeyeria  
Moa Bird  
Arthropleura: [First Life with David Attenborough- Giant Millipede](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2lJbjoOuNs)

I think I’ll leave it at that, but there are a lot of very interesting animals that are no longer with us. Giving them some life in a game would, to me at least, be an exceptional little easter egg for anyone who is interested in this stuff. Added a few videos for some additional info.
