Re: Few questions about trapping and a couple of misc questions
You don't need to worry about open areas if you do it "slash-and-burn" style. Just lay your branches piles in the field shape you want and ignore the tree squares. Light a bunch of the piles and you'll burn down the trees. If you're concerned about spreading fire outsides the field just cut down a couple trees to make a one-square fire break all around the field you want. oooooooooooo oTBBTBBBTTBo oBBBTBTBTBTo oooooooooooo o = open T = tree B = branches pile I tend to use 5 branches, but it likely doesn't matter. More probably makes the fire spread easier, but this always works for me. I then move around the branches pile lighting them on fire... by the time I've done a handful of fires it's usually spread to almost everywhere I need. It's a "waste" of trees.. but it's not like any one of us will cut down *ALL* the trees. And it feels more legit. October 01, 2017, 10:34:57 PM |

Re: Don't Go to Stumpmire
Skipped ahead to hear the voice. Definitely figured it was meant to be in that New England Old-Timer - Newfoundlander - West Country - Pirate continuum somewhere. I'll definitely give the whole thing a listen when I get a chance.

Re: Poems of the Fallen
Drowning Ominous cracking heard a second too late Far out from the shore with my mind on a kill But the ice could no longer hold up my weight Just as the forest reindeer finally lay still Breathless was I from chasing after my prey Across two miles of forest and a mile of ice I had forgotten what my old man would say My mind had been on nothing but the bloody prize But 't was not a bloody prize but a price I would pay "It offends the spirits to bloody the ice in early spring--" I heard dad's voice in my mind as I felt my strength sway "--and 'tis surely your death the spirits will bring." (Yeah, that happened, a few characters back. Just as the damn reindeer died, it became morning, the ice grew weak and I fell through. And drowned.) October 02, 2017, 03:37:21 AM |

Compare stats of armour equipped on same "slot"
It would be nice/a fair bit less tedious if we had an in-game* way to directly compare the stats of different pieces of armour that can't be equipped together because they're on the same slot. (And memorizing the stats of, say, different kinds of fur only helps marginally when you also take the whole "damaged/worn" issue into account) Right now, it requires I for inventory->move down to relevant piece of armour->Enter (to check armor)->various arrows to check the various stats (and remembering them, or noting them down)->esc->repeat for however many other pieces of armour you want to examine for that slot. Then repeat for every other slot you want to check out. *In-game because yes, there is the wiki (though it does nothing when it comes to partially-degraded armour) and I suspect there's ways to tell from the game-files as well. Doesn't mean I want to switch out of the game every time I'm trying to figure out whether normally-better-but-heavily-degraded armour A is still better than lousy-but-whole armour B.

Re: Wild Animals in Villages
To add to the insanity of this current cursed village. I was chasing a Njerpez around the island for a bit... not really attacking, just watching him run for kicks. He got a bunch of distance so I went somewhere else. I wandered back to the village, and when I zoomed in, low and behold! The njerpez was asleep in their main cabin. He woke up when I arrived and tried to run away... the villagers never cared. I unleashed my hounds and killed him in the village. No one lifted a hand to help me. So, Atwood... I think you are right. Unless something is actively hostile, villagers just don't care. It makes me wonder what set off all the other Njerps who had wandered in... maybe they saw old men and thought it would be an easy kill or something. October 03, 2017, 05:47:40 AM |

Re: Disease, pests, and the joy of cats
I think there was another kind of rat (black?) in the area before the brown rat invaded and took over that niche. Regardless, there are smaller rodents (mice, voles, etc.) that can make cause serious damage to your food stores even if rats are not introduced. I agree cats probably have no role in the northern tribes as those don't have any agriculture (although that doesn't stop those villages from having farmers...). I'm not sure I agree with the thought that cats would have a role in fighting disease, but they certainly ought to have one in fighting vermin munching through your food stores. As a trade off, a cat at your homestead might mean small traps near it are less likely to catch anything, as the cat(s) scare them away (and the blood thirsty critters may also kill or mutilate creatures that actually are trapped).

Re: Bridge Building
you can't, but after you deconstruct where the door was, you can build other things on that tile. it was news to me that you couldn't deconstruct the door if it was on deep water. did you try it with the door closed, too? it has been a few versions since i did this so something might have changed, but i know you can't deconstruct an open there. when i was doing it, i noticed that the trick changed the water depth near that tile to be less deep.

Re: Poems of the Fallen
Njerpez fallen He was a starving redshirt, oh, a Njerpez do I mean Hanging 'round my island's outskirts Unaware that he'd been seen So I took my fine broadhead and my longbow in my hands By nightfall would he be dead His stain cleansed off my lands He was a starving redshirt, oh, a Njerpez did I mean He bled out on the frozen dirt Where he's ever since been October 03, 2017, 07:02:40 PM |
