V2 : Slurry tanks, Structure, but not a building

How would people add a slurry lagoon asset?
Closest I find is “location, fixed structure-building”
Should there be more structure types, or just set it up as a building?

Maybe water or compost is close?

Mainly needed for some inventory logging, and some maintainence logs.

Good question @pat. Do we have an “Other” structure type? I forget (maybe on Land type has “Other”). We should add that as a catch-all if we don’t already.

I would tend to agree that it should be a “Structure” asset, and we just need to add more Structure types (at least starting with “Other” because it’s obviously not a “Building” or “Greenhouse”).

Generally speaking though, the asset type you pick is sort of up to you. Most asset types have the same fields on them, with some exceptions (Equipment has extra fields for make/model/serial, Plants and Animals have Plant/Animal Type, etc). All assets support inventory logging (in v2) via Logs.

I’ll look into adding an “Other” structure type right now… easy enough!

In the meantime, maybe just use “Building” for now… you can change it when 2.0.0-beta2 comes out! :slight_smile:

Cool.

Asset type could matter a bit if map object coloring depends on it.

True asset type does matter for many things. That was just to say that with some things that don’t fit neatly into a category you can decide for yourself what works best for you. :+1:
