Talk:Tool
From The Blockheads Wiki
What constitutes a tool?
There are several sides to this argument.
1. An item that can be used on things in the world
- This includes:
2. All items that are effective as weapons
- This includes:
- Our current tools
3. All items that can be used for something
- This includes:
4. All items made at the Tool Bench
- This includes:
- Our current tools minus hand
What definition should we use? Should we make the Tool category reflect that definition? --Abcboy (talk) 20:04, 25 December 2013 (MST)
- Also, is a Camera a tool? --Abcboy (talk) 20:06, 25 December 2013 (MST)
- It does seem to need narrowing down. IMO, #1 and #2 are definitely in the definition. Maybe things that are implied to be held by a Blockhead while in use? I've started a list of proposed removals from the category, although we might find articles that will need to join another to avoid being uncategorized. --McClaw (talk) 07:43, 7 January 2014 (MST)
- The problem with that is every item, when selected, will show up in a blockhead's hand. Even things like chillies and trapdoors. --Abcboy (talk) 07:52, 7 January 2014 (MST)
- Being in a hand is not the same thing as being used. One standard could be those items that can show their icon in the space being acted on (which could allow Hand). Hm, what would you say to a category for all the various benches?
