Placing, Packing, and Loading Objects
The commands PUT, PLACE, and LOAD all allow you to move objects
from your hands or inventory into or onto other objects in the world. These
actions are helpful for storage, organisation, or simply decoration.
Stashing an Object in a Container
The most common use of PUT is to tuck something away into another item.
Once placed inside, the object will no longer be visible unless the container
is open or inspected. This is often used for standard inventory management,
such as putting a sword in a scabbard, or placing coins in a pouch or pack.
Example:
PUT COIN IN PACKPlacing an Object on Another Object
When you want to rest an item visibly on a surface rather than burying it in
your pack or dropping it to the ground, you can use PLACE. This is often
used for decorative purposes or setting a scene, as the object remains in sight
and accessible to others in the room.
Example:
PLACE VASE ON TABLELoading an Object with Items
Some larger objects, like wagons, carts, or even pack-beasts, can be loaded
with goods. The primary advantage of loading an object is to transport more
weight than your character can physically carry. For example, you could load
a cart up with recently mined ore to move a large quantity of heavy materials.
This is crucial for logistics and large-scale gathering or crafting efforts.
