Re: Villages should keep their water sources free of ice during winter asking for directions from the villagers also helps somewhat, but if you're too close to it, the conversation goes like this

Villager: it's right over there, you see.
Me: No, I don't see it, it's covered in ice and snow.

Re: BAC Mod Weaving yardage.
There were no oil laps or candles either, burning wood chips were the sole light source.
Did the medieval Finns really not have oil lamps or fat lamps? Using the blubber of seals?

At least not as part of regular peoples' household lighting, which continued to use these thin pulled wood chips all the way to 19th century. Supposedly they burned at rather measured rate, so not as silly as it might sound.

The wood chip production is depicted here (for sake of basket weaving, but same thing): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YbMziRumSfw

Re: Was pausable crafts added to the modding language? I don't think so. At least, the new net isn't in the fishing menu of diy_glossary and I didn't see it in the notes.txt either.

Re: ModernNorseman's Portrait Mod 2.0 (Updated November '23, 1000 unique portraits)
I was migrating CALLE to 3.82. Downloaded your 2nd version. Found his face wasn't the same.

Cleared the truegfx, restored vanilla graphics, installed the 1st version and his face was as before.

I suspect the file name was reused or adjusted to cause this.

Advise future updates to avoid changing overwriting existing choices as players may already have them associated with a character or an NPC in their game.

Hi Brygun,

Yes, all the new portraits were variants of the previous versions, including some new alternations. The order of the pictures are is completely random, so that would definately cause older saves to have different faces for all characters. Sorry for the confusion and inconvenience.

Re: Add cooking with wooden bowls
Matti as Im updating BAC again do you have more details to share?

The weblink is in Finnish and though can translate Im finding it awkward to drill out the details.

Going by the instructions from there for the modern day traditional dish from Lemi: https://www.maajakotitalousnaiset.fi/reseptit/lemin-sara-etela-karjalasta

The tub is carved from birch or aspen, and is sized to the oven. It's then soaked in salted water for "weeks", which is said to help prevent cracking (reminds me of the salted water treatment given to kuksa, traditional wooden mug). After this it's treated with sheep tallow.

For the dish itself, salted mutton or lamb (1kg salt for 10kg meat, so were are talking properly salted for preservation) is rinsed in water to remove excess salt. A heat retaining over is fired up. Any cracks on the tub are patched up with combination of water and flour. The meat is placed on the tub and placed in the oven, with few pieces of alder separating the tub from the bottom of the oven (this both protects the tub and imparts taste, alder being traditional smoking wood in Finland, I guess just branches would be closest URW equivalent). It's cooked in the oven for hours (as many as 8), with meat flipped halfway through the cooking and potatoes turnips added sometime during the latter half of it. Apparently the tub can handle about 40-60 uses, more than I thought.

Note that this is a "dry" dish, even if the meat naturally releases liquid to the bottom of the tub. I suppose we can assume the tub can handle the in-game stew type dishes as those contain minimum water, but no idea how it would hold up with a soup.

@Plotinus I suppose one could take a stance that the iron pot shouldn't even exist in the game, it's a very complicated thing to hammer that kind of thing together from wrought iron. I'm not too sure it would be easier to take care of such pot in real life. Taking that kuksa as example, it's arguably easier to take care of than modern carbon steel cookware is (wood is somewhat hygienic material naturally, as it tends to absorb moisture from the surface and bacteria don't like being dehydrated).

Re: You are from: Moron Heath Lots of the meanings in these place names are pretty obscure. I wouldn't know that pännä means a moron, and the dictionary of the Institution of Domestic Languages (Kotus) tells me it means a pencil. I suppose Sami and Erkka got these meaning from some more specialist dictionary; for regional, historical or place name specific words.

That being said, Finland does have lots of funny and vulgar place names in reality too, there are for instance many hundreds of place names beginning with pasko or paska (meaning shit) and you occasionally see them in URW too. You can find a tool for searching Finnish place names there (search for word plus * to find words beginning with something, e.g. pännä*): https://nimisampo.fi/fi

Re: You are from: Moron Heath There’s plenty of vulgar names around Finland.

Rated teen:
Spoiler: show
Some on the map, and some in local knowledge. My first apartment, after moving out, is known in the town as “mulkkulinna” or about translated ‘cock castle’. (Not the rooster kind) you won’t find that on a map.

I recall hiking and fishing the Savukoski wilderness and there a place called “vittukeinon peskihaara” or “female genitalia method’s reindeer skirts’ split” and it was, likely still is, on the map.

Re: Add cooking with wooden bowls
Basically a slow cooker on low heat so you don't burn the wood "pan".

This looks doable.

I'd use *tub instead of pot.
fire needed
branches for the elevation and extra heat
a brief active time
long wait for it time

meat mandatory
optional turnips (instead of potatoes)
optional herbs

One thing not doable is the mid cooking flip step. Cooking is a work at then wait system.

If using tub, then both [boil] and [bake] are out. [roast] with {[nearby_tile:Fireplace]} works. Downside is that the tub isn’t filled with the food, and can be picked up after active portion of the recipe is done, before the dish is ready for picking up.


The prep time doesn’t need to be long, but requiring brined/cured meat as the ingredient would be more realistic. You can utilize the brining recipe from my hotsmoking mod and avoid duplicating work.
