Re: Life hurts
Make sure to visit the local village sage once a day. Thoughts are with you.

Re: How come I can burn down forests while it's raining?
Fires can definitely rage in the rain. I believe the California fires weren't stopped by the rain. There was a wildfire in Canada a few years ago, I think, which took years to put out. If big enough, a bit of rainwater won't be enough to kill it. I think rain does affect how long the fires stay lit, but I'm not sure about that. I think I read somewhere that you might be able to deforest a tile until it becomes Ground, but again, I might be wrong. I'm willing to bet it's just hardcoded. January 24, 2019, 04:43:26 AM |

Re: Cave visibility
Wait are you saying that if I floor the whole cave it will have normal inside visibility like a cabin with no shutter walls? I had no idea. That just made cave dwelling allot more appealing. Yes, caves are one of my favorite homes

Re: All forest reindeer are does, no stags
I have been noticing this for a while. Whenever you encounter forest reindeer, use F3 to look at them. There are does and calves but no stags. I haven't seen a single forest reindeer stag since gender was implemented. I have seen both reindeer stags and does for sale in northern villages. Checking out the code, it seems like forest reindeer gender is never created anywhere, so they all are does - as default. So it's something I've forgot to add, or misplaced in the heat of coding. To be fixed... Fixed - persists in 3.52 February 02, 2019, 02:04:30 PM |

Re: sacrificing dried fish pleases the forest, not the water
Hmm. What can I say, except that after some considerations I don't find anything to fix at this point. Sacrifices are something that we don't have a definite rulebook to rely on, and actually trying to comprehend old finnish mythology ie. sacrifices often leaves me with a questions like "How come it's good to sacrifice that in this situation? I'm confused."  What I can say, though, is that freshness of the sacrifice is relevant in some cases - and in case of fishing sacrifices, that is pretty much a must. (Like speculated) Quote So in this case the bug is the "you feel comfortable" message after sacrificing roast meat followed by "you feel unsteady" message after sacrificing raw meat. I can't pinpoint a bug here either, although the exact order of the events is unknown. To mix you guys up even more I can also reveal that roasted meat can be a good and solid sacrifice sometimes, and if the (forest) spirit at the location felt you were in debt it could be happily accepted.

[Diary entry] Skiing and tracking
I guess we haven't seen any lynx related dev's diary entries here at the new forums. The old forums surely had some. So, how about a little picture story from the real world adventures of unreal world developer - with a lynx involved. I went skiing the other day, and the ski trip then turned into a tracking exercise. Soon after entering the forest I spotted some lynx tracks, but our paths then departed as I went about my own trails.  Later, when returning home, strange curly tracks caught my attention - and sparkled my tracking instinct. I guessed that this might be the same lynx now dragging its kill, and had to confirm the theory.  I scouted the area, found lots of hare tracks, and then the lynx tracks which eventually turned into sneaking tracks as it approached the location.  The hare's last dance with the lynx went to many directions until finally the place where it ended was found, with some hair and (not too old) bloodscape.  There, the lynx had dragged its kill to a more peaceful location for eating it. That was some twenty meters away, among thick young spruce trees. Not much was left of the hare, but a few hairy bits on the snow.  Afterwards, I had to search for my backpack for half an hour as I had left it somewhere on the snow in excitement. I enjoyed the day and I hope you enjoyed this first, but hopefully not the last lynx related diary entry at these new forums. March 07, 2019, 08:50:45 PM |

Immersion text when being idle/resting
A simple immersion addition where, when you idle/rest, a small randomly generated text detailes what you do. For example: "You watch the sun *glistening* in the *lake*" "You watch the sun *shine* through the *trees*" "You play with your *rough northern knife*" "You spend time with *animal*" "You catch snowflakes" Etc. etc. March 10, 2019, 12:47:33 AM |

Who let the dogs out...
Let's try to make a return with development news then. It's taken some browsing of the code and decoding hazy written notes to find the path which I was following prior to fracturing my arm, and the sick leave that followed. But now also my to-do memory has recovered to great extent and there are snippets of upcoming features to present. Dogs... NPC dogs... Village dogs... Dogs to better protect the NPCs... that's what I had started to code, and that's what is now to be continued. Village dogs are now released out of their pens, and they roam freely at the village area. This allows village dogs to truly protect the village from possible threats and intruders. Village dogs are also improved in their watch dog behavior, and unfamiliar visitors are now greeted with alarm barks and by coming close by to sniff and check them. Village dogs may seem intimidating for strangers but this behavior is gradually toned down when you become more familiar with the village. ...to be continued -- there are a few more dog things coming up..

NPC hunters gone wild
I've had amusing and laborous times with testing and tweaking how NPCs now behave in the wild with their newly added wits for example to actively hunt and process the downed animals. New blocks of AI always make things a bit crazy at first as unimaginable and unpredictable conditions harness the power of new algorithms. I've witnessed NPC hunter running after a squirrel swinging a sword, and exhausting himself by circling around the tree with no better understanding of the target being out of his reach. After awhile my character decided to help the guy out and shot the squirrel down for him, after which he correctly proceeded to butcher and skin the carcass. Without manners of saying a proper thanks, though. Another NPC came (or was actually forced to by the means of black debug magic) hunting at the site where I had just lost one of my party members. After he had succesfully shot the hare he was after he proceeded to approach the corpse of my passed companion. My character and his dog watched in confusion this guy just stand on the corpse with no intention to move anywhere. Later on I found out that the crazy NPC hunter had an unbearable craving to skin and cut the corpse of my dead companion, but the moral restrictions came in between and he ended up in endless "Should I? No, you must not." limbo. On a brighter side of incidents I traded a loop snare from a wandering woodsman for a fresh salmon. Soon after, the woodsman decided to light a fire and roast the salmon. A simple little thing but it made a nice difference. All in all, NPCs in the wild seem a bit more intelligent, but also bit more crazy at the moment. Craziness is surely refreshing, but tweaking and testing still need to be continued. May 22, 2019, 05:11:50 PM |

Messing with measures
So, the length property has been added for tying equipment, and I've been working on to update item conversions and crafting requirements to accept this brand new addition. Adding measure of length is a perfect example of seemingly simple, yet fundamental addition which extends all around the code and has brought up numerous related features. Here's where we are at now with tying equipment additions, and now I hope to be able to catch up with more NPC stuff - where I was before getting entwined by ropes and cords. - added: measure of length for tying equipment Appropriate items, such as ropes, now have a length property. The unit of length we use is foot (ft), and should an item have a length property it is displayed both in inventory menu and when looking at items on the ground. This addition foremostly affects to crafting material requirements which can now be length based. - added: new crafting category under [M]ake menu: "Tying quipment" This category contains the usual ropes and cords, which are now removed from their previous location in "Utility articles". - added: Join and shorten options to manipulate tying equipment lengths Under "Tying equipment" category within [M]ake menu there are options for joining and shorterning ropes and cords as sometimes specific length is desired. You may not want to spend full length rope on something that requires only a short piece, or you may need to join cords together to come up with long enough string for a specific craft. - changed: tying equipment requirements in crafting are now length based Instead of requiring certain number of cords and ropes all the tying equipment requirements are now length based. - reasoned: required tying equipment types in some crafting recipes For example: When making arrows, previously you could use any "tying equipment" in the process - including ropes. Now arrow making requires "cord", a little finer and more specific tying equipment. - added: tying equipment used in cookery do not disappear in the process anymore You can pick your ropes and cords back after the smoking and drying processes are done. These are future additions, not yet functional in current version 3.52. July 10, 2019, 01:40:01 PM |
