I don't care if I don't have 15 years experience coding. I'm still having fun talking about these things ehe
What if we can convert walls onto windows with window sill? Criteria being a window can only be made if have two adjacent wall without window - so you won't have a house with ALL windows
Ingredients - boards + bowsaw - window pane + sheet of glass ( someone with more knowledge on glass might help
)
wall with window opening- another form of wall added with stone/Adobe to stakes.
Wall with window - add window to said wall
So basically it's a wall that can take one item as if normal floor and will insulate heat like a wall but maybe slightly less effective. This allows people to pass items through a window by leaving it on the window sill for person on other side to take.
I think this will really help make buildings less clunky, obstructive and because, I want to run a drive thru lol

yes, because people always make way too small kitchen houses.
yes, but also make a glassles window version, where you can shoot arrows trough them, but not knife or war sword kill trough windows.
windows sould be made out of pine needles and round stones, no rope, no chiseled stone, to make them useful for something.
the people will make ptovate properties with windoes at the borders ,and food inside them, and just go on a killinf spree with stolen arrows.

No, glassless window won't insulate well. And I want this as a civilian application of windows. No murder holes please

1) Everything that you say goes back to killing. You might need therapy.
2) If you can shoot arrows out, they can shoot arrows in, you will have transformed your kitchen into a murder box.

We used to make windows on greeps server by using the first two blocks of a bell tower base. It kinda worked, but would be impractical in game because people would just add blocks to them.

How does that affect building insulation? I've also seen the carts that run in and out of a wall cutout.

No idea, we built them before the temp overhaul x)

I would guess that it doesn't insulate.
Windows working with property fence together can help facilitate trade and secure important resources though. Like a warehouse surrounded by property fence, with a little stone hut in a corner that has a window to the outside world, and warehouse man is in charge there.

Yes, this is a plan at some point. They will mostly just look nice. Walls are too short for them to functional. I mean, they will be transparent, but....

This reminds me of the grand Russian enigma of 1919 where the Bolsheviks hoped to refit all windowsills as a sign of their grand industrial power in comparison to the Tsar's Russia and so they begun doing so but unfortunately many Russians had moved to smaller dwellings after their homes were obstructed in the revolution and they had shorter walls, guess what the Soviets did... smaller windowsills! Eventually all men in Russia could brag about their sick new patriotic windows, yessir.

Walls are a lot taller than baskets of pretty much anything. Couldn't it be used to set out a basket of pies or something? In fact, it seems like a basket falls about in the middle of a tile. If the window is placed correctly, couldn't it just fall where it normally would if it were a ground tile?

Yeah I'm quite sure walls are very much bigger than 99 percent of things in OHOL
Was thinking the same, just basically creating a wall that can have stuff placed on it like an empty tile but it acts like a wall with respect to insulation and not allowing anyone to pass, if I could draw to save my life I might come up with art of some windows. But I also work weekends , what a pain.
I understand it would be very odd for bigger items like piles of rocks and big stones or a unplaced door.

I don't figure this would be an issue, because it would probably be implemented like a box with only one storage slot. Large items wouldn't fit there.

If you've ever seen a window, you know that you can fit an axe through it. Even the small ones. Try this list:
-all items able to go into a basket
-any bowl of stuff (sand, water, whatever)
-baskets
-items that aren't considered small, but fit into a cart (tools, buckets of stuff, etc)
And for fun, make apples and apple pies so a grandma can cool them on the windowsill! If windows are gonna be cute make them full-on cute!

I somewhat agree. Jason might have to implement a new sort of storage attribute for items. It should be small items but I definitely think a basket of small items should fit on a windowsill.

Somebody understood me Yes, that would work, considering he already made three others.
Would windows need to be open to use as a container? If so, would they make the room cold?
And does windows mean we can shove babies through the walls? Can we have the fun baby jails where we shove in a toddler and keep them as a zoo exhibit? I once remember helping a child bake-laborer escape his jail. We ran away together and ate berries and had a few runner babies (was before I had a forum account.)

Would you ever leave your baby on the windowsill?

Wish I had one.
But hey, once I was the baby on the windowsill. It was great.

It's beautiful.
Maybe a bit of a ledge would make it look like the basket is not teetering and about to fall though

Agreed 100%. This was a quick draft in Microsoft Paint. Old school.

Plus an adze for extra good luck? Imagine a town where every wall is a window

You already can't have two adjacent windows by my idea but not sure if that is implementable. I do agree windows must have some drawbacks but the glass making part of it is already a bit difficult.
