User:McClaw

An early player of The Blockheads, McClaw is something of a dilettante wiki editor, hoping mostly to get things organized and going strongly enough for those with more dedication to expand it to higher forms.

He dislikes leaving:

"Image Coming Soon" when there's a replacement that can be made.
Dead End Pages.
Orphaned Pages.
Uncatagorized Pages.
Wanted Pages with too many go-to links.
Category:Articles_needing_cleanup plus bad grammar, spelling, and punctuation.

Some links he's saving for convenience:

Wish List

Not being a member of the forums, I thought I'd put my wish and idea list for The Blockheads here.

Crafting steel from iron and charcoal.
A "compost pile" crafting surface that can be "fueled" with various fruits and plants to allow conversion of dirt to compost. (That makes more sense to me than crafting it out of kelp on a crafting table, and would be an additional use for fruit.) It would need to be created out of dirt, fruit, and worms.
Worms that crawl out of compost on their own?
"Weeds" that spontaneously sprout on compost and have to be removed before anything else can be planted?
Change it to the North Pole Coat Of Comfort. Still red with white trim, but it can be worn along with the other special clothing items and will protect against heat as well as cold.
A light source that works while being carried. Maybe a miner's hat made from copper and a steel lantern?
A "freezer" that can convert water to ice (Bucket of Water to Ice and Tin Bucket.) And may induce nearby water to freeze?

An "apex use" for copper and/or bronze. These otherwise become rather unimportant once a good supply of iron and steel are available.

Aquatic tools and clothing:

Bronze shoes to allow walking on the ocean floor.
Bronze, steel lantern, and kelp to make a diver's helmet. Provides mobile light and air. Maybe it gets recharged with kelp?
Copper urn / boiler / percolator to turn roasted coffee beans and water into coffee (refill cup) while a Blockhead is away.
A copper or bronze "harpoon" that's more effective against fish and sharks. Say one blow for a fish, at most two for a really big shark? (Although just making the existing flint spear more effective than a sword against fish and sharks would work.)
