Why not also include the Shed and Cellar here, if there’s a pending proposal to make them searchable?

This is unlikely to get my vote if Sharp items will only be found at a cost of 20 Time + 2.0 Heat in the Square, or 10 Time in the Tent.

30 time in the tent; the tent action doesn’t take away the essential cost of the search, it adds to it.

The cellar has quite enough advantages already, I think; I disagree with making it searchable and will certainly not be adding extra capability to what is already an absurdly overpowered little bolt hole.

If there is widespread concern about the tent hiding nails then I’ll consider dropping that down.

You’re saying the Cellar is “exclusive members-only” and now “absurdly overpowered”? There’s nothing down here, nobody else including yourself has ever chosen to move here, and you’re saying this from a Tent that now has an endless Heat-free stash of items and which requires a “members-only” Cudgel to get a functional place in (and a fee of 50 Time and 5.0 Heat to even do that).

I don’t think the Tent needs more weapons.

Sure - as you rightly point out, once you’re in a place there’s big disincentives to moving all that much - unless, of course, you have a handy-dandy 5-hour little VIP route into the Shed for when you want to poke your nose out without incurring any real risk of being Grappled. Which I pointed out when the Cellar was made - the first person in there is likely the only beneficiary - and so it has proven to be.

If your only real objection is that the Tent gets a Sharp search modifier then, sure, I’ll vote for it to be taken away - if the same proposal increases the route between the Shed and the Cellar to, let’s say, around 20 or so?

Nailed Bat’s “A Villager holding this Item treats all Roughhousing Time costs as being reduced by 10, to a minimum of 1.” on the Heels of the proposed Dousing costing “10 Time, plus the Time required to travel any Routes between the Actor and the Target” (where that plus could be argued at zero) would be quite the combo.
