Misleading directions?
3.50 beta2 This is probably not a new issue for the new versions. When asking for directions to other villages it seems they always claim it's a village populated by their own tribe. This is suspicious when a village at that distance would place it in another tribe's territory, or at least outside of their own. When asking about caves the message can be somewhat misleading, when the person asked claims not to know if there are any and then claim to have wandered around the area a lot, indicating caves should be known if they were present. Better wordings would be "I don't think there are any as I have wandered around this area a lot." or "I don't know of any, and ...". I.e. rather than claiming ignorance and follow that up with knowledge of the area, it would be better to state that there probably are none, because the character knows the region well.

Re: Is this a good starting character?
It's a very good character. A huge maximum strength character can wear a lot of armor without getting slowed down and carry a lot of stuff (to move them around) without having to resort to dragging as much. Just remember that you may have to adopt your tactics when shifting to weaker characters later on, so you may start some bad habits if you're not careful. January 07, 2018, 06:14:42 PM |

Re: Suggestion: Allow trading in exchange for same item type
In a barter economy it doesn't make sense to accept inferior trade ins: that's something that would make sense only for dedicated traders (and the foreign traders won't count as they're mobile and thus have a very limited inventory). When bartering your offer ought to be something your trading partner wants, so in fact the current system is a great simplification in that you don't actually have to offer something they are in need of (just think of running around to conduct 7 different trades with different people to get the items your primary trading partner wants). When it comes to asking "How many X will you give me for this/these Y?" it would make logical sense that they'd give you a number, but it's a specific case, and the coding of that case probably won't carry over to more complicated trades, so while it would be nice to have, it might not be worth the implementation effort.

Re: Harvest field near village
A field is owned and tended by somebody, so yes, taking from fields and pastures is thievery. However, if you wasn't discovered they won't know it was you (they ought to get suspicious if you're seen in the village shortly before a lot of their harvest goes missing, especially if it happens repeatedly, but I don't think they have the smarts for that). Your conscience (should you have one) will know that you've stolen the crops even if the owners don't know it was you. January 11, 2018, 05:59:34 PM |

Re: Adding marriage - poll about how you find its priority
I agree with your agreement that social networks are probably the most important part, and a spouse then becomes a logical icing of that cake. I'd probably start with friends and settlement relations to then go on to apply those structures to a character biological family (that can be opted out of when generating the character), and then add the spouse last, as I'd expect a spouse to bring the family relations of that side into the equation, and if that groundwork has already been done it ought to be reasonably smooth and can focus on the stuff related to an actual family rather than the external networks.

Re: Duplicating items by pushing them into water
I'd ensure replication is attempted at exactly the same location (tile borders or whatnot), as well as ensuring it's winter with a hole in the ice (either before you did the replication or as a result of it), so I guess you have to wait half a year to try it out. When I discover something I suspect is a bug I typically make a save and a copy of it (given a suitable name, so I can find it later), in case Sami needs it for an investigation later.

Re: Having a hard time finding animals.
I'd rather placed this game play question in the game play questions sub forum... Passive hunting is the most efficient way to hunt, in my experience. It takes some work to set up, but once done you get time over for other things. I only (occasionally) hunt big game actively (this does not count removing pests from my farm plots or my homestead) when my traps have been dry for an extended period of time, and "big" in my view is elk, reindeer and wild boar (bears are large, but they're also dangerous, so I avoid those. Wild boars can be dangerous as well). When hunting large animals I typically look for a places with a good view, like hills, or open terrain like mires to see if I can see any in the distance. Otherwise I walk around zooming into each tile to look for animals or tracks (zoom in, look forward, turn 180 degrees, look, zoom out, turn 180 degrees, move one time, repeat). Any reasonably fresh tracks from large game can then be followed (assuming reasonable tracking skill), although I give up if the area is riddled with tracks crossing back and forth. Also, I try to avoid spruce infested terrain as the visibility there is poor, but when I track animals passing through such terrain, well, I follow, but I won't look for new game there. In short, about the same techniques as Privateer uses. Animal abundance varies over time, but different animals have an affinity for different kinds of terrain as well.

Re: Harvest field near village
The only reason the villagers haven't reprimanded you is that you've been a SNEAKY thief  Also note that terrain types that can exist outside of village influence spheres aren't owned, so roads, ground, and groves are fair game, for instance (you can find individual road tiles inside villages, and I wouldn't try to harvest from those, should there grow something on them). I've been reprimanded for picking an unknown herb on a pasture, as I thought only fields were owned. They also don't like you setting traps on their property... January 13, 2018, 12:28:58 AM |

Re: About herbs/plants
Heather gathered after flowering is useless, and you shouldn't really be able to harvest it (kind of a bug, in my view). You can get rid of junk by dropping it on the ground and then press 'D'(estroy). I don't know if harvested plants burn or if they contribute to fires. I don't know if fire will remove withered plants, but given that one of the latest beta changes was that fire should destroy ground cover you might try to drop 3 branches on the tile and setting fire to them.
