Default Re: GURPS Hivemiind:How do I define a walking Cottage as an advantage?

I dunno, I'd almost chart that as a piece of equipment so you don't have to worry about statting up all the weird CP math of what advantages and disadvantages a chicken-legged cottage has. Does it have extended lifespan? Immune to metabolic hazards? Disease?

can of worms.

How many horses does it take to carry a house's worth of stuff (house included)?
There's your price. Add 25-50% markup for it being self-contained into one leggy package.

Edit: MATH

draft horse, ST 25, move 6, $2000

ST25 = 125 BL
@ move 3, 375lbs

Cottage:
6" logs @ 200lbs/log
48 logs for walls, 9600lbs

Thatch roof, 800lbs

Various other building materials, windows, doors, chimney, flooring, etc.
2000lbs

Your stuff (bed, chairs, blankets, kitchen, cabinets, etc.)
2000lbs

Added together is 14400lbs, round it up to an even 15k lbs.
That's 40 horses, costing $80k.

You too can be the proud owner of a mobile cottage for the low low price of $99,999.99!

Financing available, terms and conditions apply.
