Generated Jobs/Quests boards

[Chinsei]

this i believe i've seen suggested before but ..i would just like to basically repost the request/suggestion.

basically

I would like the ability to build boards that I , as well as NPC could post jobs to for people to take and carry out as an objective .

For example perhaps i'm a skeleton and i need robotics repair parts but i can't go get them myself due to injury and i don't wanna send my own squad members to get it or because i only have -1- character at the time. then i could post the job for a courier to go get one bring it back an pay them for it..assuming they survive..this is kenshi after all.

Other jobs might include an NPC asking for help in building their new building(s) .

or asking for an escort to the next town/city.

some of them could of course be 'illegal' jobs as well but these wouldn't have a listed task they would simply say something like Seeking a someone good at keeping secrets, or Seeker of a Shadow warrior , or something for like spies or ninja or something. which would basically want you to go an steal something. or assassinate someone..though ideally a little more vague to add mystery.

of course not all of them should be illegal..perhaps someone just wants you to move something without drawing attention to it.

perhaps expanding on it slightly perhaps each shop could have a job board for tasks the shop might need to have completed

Like the typical fetch quest - Go mine, and bring back 8 iron. Produce 5 swords of X type and y Quality. Each quest would list things like

Estimated difficulty and Estimated payment. both of which wouldn't inherently be guranteed. since i think people should be able to betray you an break their words depending on things like their personality traits or something.

After all it should work to keep you on your toes. maybe the guy who hired you to kill John , doesn't want to take the chance you might tell someone so he decides to ambush you with his friend or something.

or they might try to jip you out of the payment by paying you less than agreed to , or using persuasion type skills you could negotiate to get paid more or even negotiate exclusive contracts to be the persons only supplier from then on out.

each settlement should be able to build one, and if you wish to attract people to your settlement a requirement should be to build a jobs board to first identify you plan for other people to join your settlement eventually.

THAT would be great and this is a thing I was saying Kenshi needs. it would make it much better to have quests randomly generated or player requests to helpful NPCs trying to make a buck. Maybe even bounty hunter quests for random NPCs maybe not as high paying as the Bug Master or the others they have.

Settlements would be great too. Like actually having the ability to attracting people to your city and bringing it a bit of life to it while your faction defends its citizens.

That's a good way to improve faction relations.

Perhaps people with hefty bounties aren't known by you to have a bounty until visiting the quest board.

Perhaps doing quests is something that turn un-named people into named people(including who provided the quest). Perhaps talking to them does the same.

Finally I can be rewarded by the light for smiting skeletons and other agents of darkness.
