Botany wheelbarrow - CalliopeSoups - 04-25-2025
Small flavor idea here, tdhooligan mentioned a botany compressor that turns crops into a packaged product in the discord and it got me thinking about how produce satchels are a bit dull. You don't see what you're getting outside of botanists using hand labelers. So what if, as an alternative flavor option for RP, botany had a wheelbarrow or something similar that you could pull, push or ride. You'd be able to store crops inside visibly, making your work more noticeable on your way to give the kitchen the 500 synthbutts they asked for.
I don't think this would negate the usage of satchels either, they're still good for keeping tons of useful crops on hand especially as an antag.

The wheelbarrow should be rideable/pushable like a cargo cart. We need wheelbarrow races/dumping the drunk captain into medbay.

Pros: you can deliver large amounts of synthmeat to medbay without causing a blood flood
Cons: you can deliver larger amounts of synthmeat to medbay without causing a blood flood

What I really love about both these ideas if the concept of compression. I would give the wheel barrel some kind of item count restriction. Like, it can't hold more than 20-50 items, including people.
That can mean 50 loose crops, or 50 satchels filled with crops, or 50 bales of crops.
When you want to sell in volume you compress your crops into the denser containers and versions. They all still have a purpose, and you can probably do all sorts of fun things along the way.
You might still build a barrel up with loose crops and then jump inside to hide.
Maybe crop bales are thick objects when placed, and act like fences where you have to hop over them, or stack them to build walls. If they take enough damage they just convert back to loose crops. Or pick them up by using a pitchfork on them to replace them
Use the wheel barrel to move them to a site and then build up obstacles or fortifications with the bales. Or even just make a Halloween Hay Maze

I would really love if the wheelbarrow could act like some kind of harvester, scooping everything up it rolls over on the floor and could be callibrated for seeds only/crops only or both, combined with the bale Idea, it means when cargo asks for a delivery of medical herbs or just raw produce it could baled and mailed.
on a traitor side of things I wonder how emagging could effect it, maybe spraying produce around so fill it with tomatoes and each tile it goes it throws a tomato in a random direction. Or putting bananas in would peel the bananas and throw the skins to land randomly around the harvester.
funny suicide option you go into it like a gibber and get sprayed out like it was a wood chipper.

You can also move a body with the wheel barrow? The classic moving a body thing?
