Suggestions / Re: Note taking

« on: December 09, 2020, 04:03:55 AM »

I’ve used the F6 notes, colors and some mental math to label meat drying and smoking(pre3.63) ready times. Even with them, switching characters can be tricky.

I’m about 100% certain that any non-Driik could even read or much less write. So RP note taking is debatable at best.

Previous Well Suggestion by @Ara D.

TL;dr; @Sami reckoned that asking for water hole location would be doable.

Like then, I do support for asking for the location and especially a graphic of well &/ shadoof.

Well our president is Niinistö as in "Lime(?) Bast Grove" 

“Lime” can be translated also as “lehmus”, not just “limetti”
Yeah, most of the time “lehmus” gets translated to “linden”.

Suggestions / Re: seal-catching and dangers of entangling into a net

« on: December 08, 2020, 04:00:37 AM »

I’d like too see an effect on baiting a net for predatory fish, seal and ospreys (we could always have more birds)

Drop some roaches or smelt/sparkling on the nets and get the pike-perch fill the net in warm summer waters. Do it in rivers and get some salmon/trout goodness. Or anytime/anywhere with open water, those darn ‘shore-crocodile’ pikes.

With @Sami re-doing the angling, I’m hopeful he’ll do small eye nets/large eye nets and varied fish traps sometime after.

My worst kill/best spear practice was 22 skull hits on small forest reindeer doe. With fine northern spear’s shaft.

This would be very welcome for anyone not farming but harvesting lake reed using watercraft too.
At the moment one can’t even move to a tile with anything in it with watercraft, on water and unto a shore alike.

E.g. if I choose to harvest lake reed, I don’t see any scenario where I’d want to leave it floating.
Growing lake reeds do not block your movements.
If someone is harvesting lake reed as agriculture practice; then take it to next level and also thresh and grind...

Yes, some of my characters use lake reed flour in stews and mushroom soups. And sometimes even in certain spells requiring bread. Less hassle than barley or rye with their time sensitive planting schedule.

It’s possibly Zoom-in map transition.
I.e. going from “licheneous pine forest” to “sea”

My guess here is: Sami might want to take a look.

Meanwhile, try hit ‘7’ for map maintenance. (Retain a copy)

Modding / Re: IF you could see any mod created, what would it be?

« on: December 05, 2020, 05:22:27 AM »

Without limitations?

I’d LOVE to see a mod to give us ‘Far North’ in 1700-1800, akin to “Seven Brothers”

Still survival, but give us gunpowder and flintlocks. Add the Church mandating literacy learning. Or escape in to the backwoods from it all. And for non-Christian types, still retain the old beliefs.

As a Canadian I also wish for something in the pioneer era. With or without indigenous. There were positive interactions though these days the is a lot of excess narrative of the negatives. "The Backwoods of Canada" has a first hand positive account of a pioneer family trading with a nomadic indigenous family trading blankets and pots for freshly hunted meat.

Ah, but in UnReal World the indigenous tribes are: Kuikka-, Owl-& Seal-tribes.
With NPC modding it shouldn’t be too hard to add Algonquin and the rest of the east coast natives.

Bug reports / Re: ‘Taken’ tokens after village/settlement has lost all inhabitants.

« on: December 03, 2020, 06:44:59 AM »

I fail to follow the logic in that. I.e. no live residents: abandoned village/settlement. Set camp. Your settlement.

Seems odd that taking an abandoned sack of grain to village elsewhere as trade item is somehow “spirited-across-time—space” to be known to be taken... when there’s no owners to claim otherwise.

Bug reports / ‘Taken’ tokens after village/settlement has lost all inhabitants.

« on: December 03, 2020, 06:35:17 AM »

One of my characters, Jori Kiesseläinen, is opportunistic. Not outright evil, but if there’s an old man alone with house, sauna and barn, without any roads; it was inevitable for the old man not to wake up one morning...

Picking up, and dropping down goods in the barn, they get marked taken and the marker doesn’t clear when items are dropped.
Yet, taking the goods of the abruptly deceased old man, do not get marked as taken

Expectation: no unpaid/taken tokens applied after village/settlement becomes uninhabited.

Related issue: site doesn’t seem to want to become ‘my settlement’, even after rebuilding parts of the existing buildings.

« on: December 03, 2020, 01:47:52 AM »

Wouldn’t a crafting recipe with 1’ output do exactly this?

(Personally I Like to make my cords long and cut lengths as needed. Sauna wall, my drying spot has 12 loops of 25’ cords for drying. In summer, I move couple lengths inside the sauna for smoking. In good winter: get to  dry enough meat to last over a year, bunch bartered and given to villages)

General Discussion / Re: Viable bait for deer/elk

« on: December 01, 2020, 07:59:44 PM »

Cervids eat leaves, fresh shoots, grasses, flowers, 'weeds', lichen(in the north of north), and in the dead of winter even the bark of willow, aspen, rowan: pretty much any softwood deciduous trees.
And of course mushrooms and berries when available.

Sadly, URW Cervids do not seem to eat mushrooms, nor berries. Grasses like flax go untouched in the open and when piled for fodder for the critters, as hoarding isn't fair and we should give back the excess, Spirits will remember.
I've not tried saplings, but anyway, when saplings are freshly growing, they're everywhere and the beasts have no need to go eat that one on the trap.

FWIF/IRL, kale in last few years has been trendy "super-food", we would plant kale and also cabbage, peas, radishes, turnips and oats, on fields that are scheduled for fallow. To increase the carrying capacity for hares, deer and moose. Maybe even attract doves, grouses and pheasants

« on: November 29, 2020, 05:34:06 AM »

I’d be fine without the actual “time remaining” for picked up still curing proteins and skins. I could hopefully drop and look at them for time /days left.

Torches would be nice to have condition bar for them. And have the bar in yellow or red when lit. Put out the torch and show the remaining fuel/burn time bar in green like other items.

Why not directions from everyone?
Maybe use a different style from quest markers, to keep the map clean. Separating quests and “rumors”
