Gameplay questions / Re: What is the hunting horn for use?

If you have unleashed dogs outside of [!] command range, activating the horn is supposed to call them to your location.

Suggestions / Re: Containers need an Unpack command
« on: September 12, 2023, 07:43:30 AM »It'd also seem that berries are, what Sami calls "created on the fly", and not actual base items. If I try:
.Seed bait. (10) "Blueberry" ... the recipe doesn't pass the parsing and will not be displayed. Neither does "blueberry" nor "Crowberry" work.
In general, the object name of raw products from flora will use the plural form of [NAME] specified in the flora_.TXT file (except mushrooms and roots, which follow product naming rules for a singular object).
In this case, you'll want your recipe header to have
Code: [Select]
.Seed bait. (10) "blueberries"Oddly enough, "Rye" works, and why I say odd, the game does not let you thresh them. I had the belief that modded item acts as it's own named item and as the base item. The modded seed bait doesn't count as flour or seeds either.
Rye is not a plant, seed or flour
Code: [Select].Seed bait. (10) "Rye"
[TYPE:food]
The threshing action is only valid for objects with [TYPE:plant]. Maybe you forgot the recipe changes inventory category
The distinction between [TYPE:plant] vs [TYPE:food] also will need to be observed with any "xyz mushroom" DIY since the plant and product names are the same in flora_mushroom.txt

Suggestions / Encyclopedia edits and entries: Fishing

I noticed that hovering over fishing rods in the inventory no longer displays a valid tooltip due to the appended fishhook-related strings in version 3.70+.
These changes to the encyclopedia should bring the relevant sections up-to-date.

.FISHING ROD.FISHING ROD WITH IRON HOOK.FISHING ROD WITH BONE HOOK.FISHING ROD WITH WOODEN HOOK.
A common tool for active fishing.
Begin angling with a fishing rod either by using the FISHING skill or by applying the fishing rod from the inventory when near open water. Casting the line requires having at least one arm in useable condition.
Although it is not necessary to bait the fishhook when you start an angling session, an empty hook is far less attractive to nibble on than one with a bit of food.
Predatory fish species favour raw meat and fish, while others may be drawn in by your cookery leftovers or even raw vegetable matter.Fishhook entries
Code: [Select]
.FISHING ROD WITH NO HOOK.
A common tool for fishing rendered useless without a new fishhook.
***
.FISHHOOK.IRON FISHHOOK.BONE FISHHOOK.WOODEN FISHHOOK.
The part of a fishing rod that catches fish.
Fishhooks may snap off as the line wears out from use, especially around the hook. This wear is relative to the number and size of the fish that have nibbled the line over time.
You can use a spare fishhook to repair a hookless fishing rod. First apply the fishhook, and then select a fishing rod to repair.
If you wish to swap a fishhook from one rod to another, first remove the hook by applying a fishing rod when you are on dry land away from open water.
Some blacksmiths may fashion iron fishhooks for a fee. These are the best kind to use and most durable.

Solved'n'fixed bug reports / [Fixed - 3.80] Active fishing while facing away from water
« on: July 19, 2023, 05:42:13 PM »
Although net fishing requires placing the net in a direction where the player character can see, this restriction is absent in rod fishing.
While reality proves it's possible to cast a line backwards (see this youtube short), the technique seems atypical and doesn't correspond to the flavor text:
You sit down, spit in the water and start to angle, dreaming of a huge catch.
Nor is it immersive for the player to remain facing away for the entire angling session.

Gameplay questions / Re: Is there any point retting nettles?
« on: July 01, 2023, 07:26:54 AM »
Among the fibre plants, nettle ranks as high-abundance low-investment.
It's free to take and grows plentifully in the wilderness, becoming available to harvest between late Fallow month until the beginning of Fall month.
I'd say go ahead and skip retting; nettle fibre is the quick fix option when you need yarn.
In terms of numbers:
Although you can work on other projects in that period, certain activities can be time-sensitive such as drying meat or fish (which becomes possible in Dirt month).

It's free to take and grows plentifully in the wilderness, becoming available to harvest between late Fallow month until the beginning of Fall month.
I'd say go ahead and skip retting; nettle fibre is the quick fix option when you need yarn.
In terms of numbers:
- 50 is the maximum number of nettle patches generated on the local map at a given 64x64 sector of suitable terrain
- 10 is the maximum number of plants per tile that make up a patch
- 15 nettle plants are required to make up 1 bundle of fibre (according to the changelog for URW version 3.72)
- a single local map sector may yield at most 500 plants, which is enough to make 33 bundles of nettle fibre
- hemp and flax seeds are obtainable only from settlements (whether through theft or barter)
- growing your own requires a shovel and an axe: you must clear tiles and chop wood in order to prepare soil
- flax seeds must be planted before Hay month at the latest in order to have enough time to harvest the crop before it withers in Dirt month
- flowering flax will not yield seeds on threshing (as of URW version 3.72)
plan accordingly if you wish to re-seed your agricultural fields - re-seeding before Dirt month allows the crops to sprout as soon as possible in next year's growing season
hemp - Soil month, ~3 weeks before summer season
flax - Swidden month, ~12 weeks before mid-summer - retting can take anywhere between 5-25 days to prepare depending on water temperature when this action is available
the earlier you bring in the harvest, the shorter the soaking period - drying plants takes about 1 week
Although you can work on other projects in that period, certain activities can be time-sensitive such as drying meat or fish (which becomes possible in Dirt month).
In order to craft 33 bundles of fibre to compete with a highly productive local map sector of natural nettle...
- At 5 plants per bundle of flax fibre, you'll need 165 flax plants.
If your Agriculture skill is high, 1 fistful of flax seed is more likely to grow the maximum of 20 flax plants in a patch.
In this case, a minimum of 9 tiles blessed by farmer-RNGesus will match the nettle output of a sector blessed by forest-RNGesus. - At 8 plants per bundle of hemp fibre, you'll need 264 hemp plants.
1 fistful of hemp seed may grow up to 15 plants in a patch, so the equivalent is 18 high-productivity tiles.

Modding / Re: Is broken arrow a base item?

The sesta is my choice for a general purpose base item because it has very low utility elsewhere, especially when a paddle will outperform it in water transportation.

Solved'n'fixed bug reports / Re: 3.80 (beta) Retting improves unarmed skill
« on: May 09, 2023, 05:22:34 PM »Did you help someone who was lost in the forest? If you did, you probably got the 3% rise from him. The rise is not implemented until the next time you use the skill, so you may have helped him months ago and then kicked a bird to death or something, which would then give you the 3% rise in unarmed.
I never completed any quests on this save file, as this was a freshly generated character I was using to test flora edits.

Solved'n'fixed bug reports / [Discontinued/Solved] 3.80 (beta) Retting improves unarmed skill
« on: April 30, 2023, 01:24:01 AM »
My character's unarmed skill went from 40% to 43% after I soaked 100 units of a plant.
That doesn't seem right to me because the retting action falls under the textilecraft menu. Is this intentional?
I can think of a similar example where a weapon skill improves outside of combat, e.g. flail skill when threshing from the agriculture menu.

Movement mode text is left-aligned in the status box when wading.
