it's hard to imagine things one would use hands to in a glob world. for example 
i would like globs to construct carrying devices out of wood and use them to 
carry more at a time. but how would that look like????

and then they all need inns at once?? maybe not good.

determin in the way you said. globs don't request an explorer. the explorer 
searches the near by area if globs have to go more than 15 and chooses the one 
with the longest way of those. else it procedes exploring.

either the glob is the upright graphic (hanging from its hands)
or the bended walking grafic (hanging at the hips)
or the most streamlined swimming grafic.
(/me wants dune2-style carry alls)

we have these grafics. it's like giving res to building or taking res from wood.

Agreed. then lets do it the joe wells way. add upgrade levels parallel to the 
normal upgrades. so you can order a non fortified inn level 2 or a fortified to 
level 3 inn level 2 that would then mean: build inn. immediatly continue to 
upgrade to level 2. inn will then be available to feed globs but globs would 
also fortify this inn to level 2.
