I'd love to see an inventor room, obviously a workbench as one of the hotspots.

Other hotspots could be:

-supply saver, higher level ones needing a higher construction level, and when you manufacture something on a workbench, the supply saver offers a percentage chance to reduce the supplies you use by 50%, the higher level ones having a better chance, I was thinking the first one could offer a 10% chance, second one a 27% chance, third one a 45% chance, fourth one a 60% chance and fifth one a 70% chance not sure what construction and invention levels they would all need, these are just ideas.
-a place to store gizmos and items you can disassemble, higher level places would need higher construction and the higher the level the more gizmos and items it can store at once, saves a bit of bank space
-a place to store all your augmented gear, again higher level ones storing more at once 200m Dunge, Rc, Mage and invention accomplished, + 120 Constitution/Slayer/Range/Summoning/Woodcutting/Mining/Defence/Strength and 110m fishing, got comp/MQC and 200m Fishing/Woodcutting/Mining as well as 120 herb/Farming/Cooking most 120s just Agility, Theiving, Hunter and Prayer left

Thought I'd post this here too from another thread I posted in:

Sure we could add new house shapes, new furniture, new themes etc but in the end it'll eventually end up becoming dead content again, quick. It's 2016 and the mindset of the majority has shifted towards gaining xp as fast as possible. We need a way to bring the majority of players back to houses again for the long run so I would be interested to see some of your guys ideas on how we could actually achieve this.

A few quick ideas I came up with are as follow:
*
A house wyrm(similar to that of the wildywyrm)

- it rarely spawns, is incredibly tough and encourages you to call for help from other players to take it down.

*
XP bonus boosts/stations that only work within player owned houses

- The more players in a house, the more bonus xp you get. 1 person = 1% bonus xp up to a maximum of 5 players for the full 5%.

*
House maintenance repairs

- Hire other players to come and repair your house(not literally). Could work in a similar fashion to shooting stars. Over time, areas in your POH will break down and need to be fixed(drainage issues?). You can train it alone or you ask friends to give you a hand to speed things up. Once it's 100% repaired everyone gets a big chunk of XP at the end.

Those are just some quickfire ideas, feel free to add on or change anything I listed. Improving idea's together is the best way we can make construction great again.

Another update I would love to see is them adding the ability to build something numerous times, automatically destroy it/them, and have your inventory automatically refreshed on a loop of like 10-30 builds.

It would require:

A. The appropriate materials.
B. Enough money to keep auto-paying your butler when needed.

It might sound lazy, but construction is probably just as click-intensive as agility is minus the semi-afk nature of agility courses. I am enduring the constant clicking and keystrokes, but there really is no reason for it not to be like how I suggest.

So many useful aspects of construction, if you think it's useless then you're doing it wrong.

Gilded altars,
Armour fixing
Prawn brokers
Pet house
flat packs are now useful from construction
clothing storage

List goes on..

I have a really pretty house. I would love it if I could have more rooms. It's a money sink? If I want to spend another 200 mil, let me.

I would also love being able to fish sharks in my house and also be able to kill my own monsters in my dungeon. for experience.

It would be even more fun if there was a little bonus xp offered if more players are in same house. It would be a fun, social way to get xp.

Whether it be combat or just skills. Jagex could easily implemt the ability to let me build magic trees or areas for sharks in my house.

And a bank chest would be fun.

An update is a long time coming. To do so will take a complete overhaul of the skill as a whole. There is no quick way to do it, and they will have to do so in a way that will make it graphically appropriate for years to come. This is both challenging because in order to redo everything, they risk players losing millions in what they have already built.
The reality is that no one uses their house for what it is intended to be, your characters home. I end up using my house about two to three times a year. Right now, most people just use their house for either storage of junk they don't want in their bank, or an alter for training prayer. The skill stands as a money sink for out of date features and achievements that no one even glances at.
There will be an update. The question is when, and if it will be bold enough so as to draw players back to the skill and to actually care about the skill again.

I Think that the trees in POH need to be updated, like other trees in Runescape. I feel it will allow players to be more creative with their POH and train the skill more often. Like everyone else I also feel like new rooms or content would be nice. :) :P :O :D
