Re: befriend wild animals  Am not sure if this is implemented yet, but my last char is seeing some strange stuff. Now he as a Mallard friend, cuz the Mallard seems to stay near him always. It's been around 2 months ingame since I started making my house, and this Mallard is been around since then, at the start he started fleeing as soon has he noticed me, but look at him now...

How about Scurvy? Might be an interesting addition the survival element if you can catch scurvy or even other deficiencies from not eating any fruits or vegetation for a month or two. As it stands IMO there's not much motivation to gather veg and berries if you have plenty of meat.

Hurt, helpless and winter! (Challenge) The rules
https://www.unrealworld.fi/forums/index.php?topic=901.0

Background




 Kaitto Koivulainen, a farmer from Koivula was tending to the village crops during the Fallow month, as any Koivula usually do. It was peacefull, so peacefull it was boring, he looked over the skies and saw a Goshawk flying about, hunting the pests and vermin that plague the crops every year and started to wonder. "How would it be, to be a Goshawk, free to fly to wherever it feels like?".
Spoiler: show

 His daydream was broken has a small group of Kaumolaiset travellers entered the village lands and went foward to talk with the sage, one of their companions was hurt pretty badly during their travel, it seemed like he had a bad encounter with a bear. The village sage treated his wounds and they departed.
 The vision of the brave Kaumolaiset hunters clicked in the young boy's mind, and shortly he departed from his home to seek for adventure, he had some seeds to trade along the north-eastern tribes, also got a few tools from his father.
Spoiler: show

 After many days of travel, he was lost. Not knowing where to go or how to go back, but, he continued fowards anyways.
 Not long after getting lost he saw the figure of persons on the distance and ran their way, what a stupidity I say, they were robbers, they beat him up and took everything he had, even his body clothes. It was the Winter start and Kaitto had no clothes, no food, not even a knife.

The Adventure

 "I am lost, every inch of my body hurts and I have serious wounds over all my body, It was foolish of me to depart from the village. What do I have now? No food, no clothes and no water... On top of that am wounded, lost on this unknown place and the Winter is starting!... Think Kaitto, think, what should you do now? Koivula is to the south-east... Yes, south-east is where I should head to. But first I need to find some food, water and wood."

Spoiler: show





 And the young boy departed heading south-east, looking at every place for wood, food and water. Not long after heading south he found some berries and a water pound, so he got the berries even not knowing which berries were those, he drank some water and cleaned his wounds the best of his ability and continued travelling south-east.

Spoiler: show


 As he travelled, he saw in the distance a mountain growing ontop of the pines and spruces that dotted the land and decided to head towards it.
 "I will have better chances to know where I am if I head towards that mountain. Okay, let's go, fast and steady."
 Once reaching the mountain base he started climbing it until the top, just to find out he was nowhere he knew, the land was still strange, unknown and terrifying but he saw a mountain along the south and headed there.

Spoiler: show



 Once again he climbed the mountain only to find nothing.

Spoiler: show


 But he saw a mire that extended as long as his eyes could caught, mires are easier to travel and navigate, and he followed down the mire. It was the 5th day of travel already, Kaitto only had berries to eat and a stone knife, but wasn't going to give up, so he keept travelling.
 For three days more he travelled, roughly towards the south thru the mire until he saw the spirits had not forgotten him, he was not alone, the spirits had given him a way to survive.

Spoiler: show


 He couldn't believe it at the very first look, it was an elk, almost trapped in a bigger pound on the mire, he closed in, trying to mantain the elk at the pond untill he was exausth and then striked.

Spoiler: show


 But the elk ran away after getting slightly hurt by his stone knife. Mindlessly Kaitto started the long chase after the Elk thru the mires. His berries were about to end, he had no more food and the friggid winds already had started to blow.
 He chased the elk thru the mires for days, finally trapping him once again against another pond.
Spoiler: show


 But as it happened before, the Elk managed to run away, but not before some serious wounds were delivered. Kaitto ran after him, as the Elk slowly exhausted himself to the point he couldn't run anymore and so, he managed to kill the Elk, after god knows how many days after the animal.

Spoiler: show





(I will add to the story as it happens, now Kaitto is tanning and cooking the Elk. All hail Kaitto, the master hunter)

Re: Sown plants disappearing after save Your description is somewhat patchy (much exposition, little info). However, I suspect you're planting in early spring and saw plants spring up around your feet immediately, but those plants weren't visible later. If that's the case it's somewhere in the borderlands between bug and feature: You've planted late enough to plant, but not late enough for the plants to actually sprout (which can happen a week or two later depending on the plant). Those plants will sprout "for real" when they're due, so you haven't actually lost anything in that case.
It can also be noted that some plants have exactly the same hue as some types of ground during some growth phases, making them effectively invisible during that time, but that's probably a different issue.

And no, it can't be bugs, because they haven't been introduced yet. They'll probably appear together with other calamities such as droughts and rats ;)

Re: Sown plants disappearing after save As I said, it's in the borderland between bug and feature. The feature part is that you receive feedback that you've planted. In a more exact simulation you shouldn't get any indication at all until the plants actually sprout (or not, if eaten by birds, which UrW doesn't model [currently]), which would be dependent on soil temperature (for the seeds to start to germinate), and time (how long it takes before the growing plants break the surface of the soil).

Re: Ceiling/floor tiles for inverted corners and fences inside @Jakob very neat cabin, I like it!

@JP_Finn that's a cool little trick I'm going to try in my next playthrough  ;D

It's about time I made a gigantic longhouse with indoor cellar / smoking room and indoor stable.

Re: Wilderness map: visible fires during night Oh yes please!

And smoke from fires too. Visual and/or notification about smoke smell similar to sounds around character portrait.
