Re: What's Going On In Your Unreal World?
English is not my primary language, so there certainly will be tons of grammatical error  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Leafsky, a lost traveler from the far east, had a tough time surviving in this world. In his first summer, he built a waterfront cabin. In his first autumn, he learned not everyone in the world is friendly. All his belongings were looted by robbers when he tried to greet these people. He was beaten to unconscious, luckily, survived and still able to strive a living by using the fishing rod he left at his cabin. He was then realised he had chosen a poor spot to build his house on his 1st winter. The water nearby would froze during winter and he can no longer fish near his cabin. Due to his terrible physical attributes (low strength, low speed, 160cm lol), active hunting is nearly impossible for him. He cant help but get really frustrated after chasing elks in the region for several days and lost their tracks completely. The stored smoked fish are not going to last this winter, he thought, and decided to travel back and forth between his cabin and the unfrozen sea to fish. The first half winter was calm, he dried half of his catches every time he went to sea and enjoy the sound of fire cracking when he roasted another half. When he get bored he often went to the nearest driikilais village in the north to see if anything he can help. He helped them to build their sauna and do other chores, in return, one of the elders told him the tale of forest maid and he managed to met the lady several times. What a night. Perhaps he was blessed by the spirits, he even managed to ambush a small elk behind a big rock when it is drinking water. Using the fur from his first prey, he made sufficient clothes to keep himself warm in the upcoming harsher weather. He was also surprised to found an elk frozen to death in an ice hole and this made him suddenly rich in food. Luck cant last for ever, he thought, and he decided to take this opportunity to practice his hunting skill, and the targets are the seals inhabited near the unfrozen sea. Most of the time he threw the javelin into the air, watching the seals dive in and out of the sea, sometimes got bitten in his butt. It took him several weeks to actually hunt down a big and two small grey seals, tried him physically and mentally. This is time to rest and chill, he through. But he was wrong. In the later half of the winter, he continue his daily routine: ski back and forth from cabin to the unfrozen sea, fishing, gather firewood. It was until one day, on the usual route to the unfrozen sea, he discovered tons of weird footprint all over the snow. Those footprints were parallel, disciplined, like the legion swept the area. It was an army of wolfs. An army of wolfs hidden in the shadow of forest. He was terrified because by no means he could win the fight with these killers face to face. Not a chance. From that day, he decided to stay near his cabin, dig a hole from the ice to fish if really needed, completely avoid to mess around those beast. He was scared. One night, he was woke up by a strange feeling. A bloody smell in the cold air. He grabbed his trusty javelin, paying full attention to the environment. Silence. Not even the sound of wind could be heard. In the darkest time of the night, he cant even see further than 2 meters. Although he saw and heard nothing, he sensed death. His heart was beating too loud, he thought, whatever waiting him outside must have heard the pumping sound. Second by second, time passes, moon began to shine on the shutter of the cabin. He saw something moving quickly. Without thinking he threw the only weapon on his hand. The javelin flied straight into the dark and he regretted this stupid action, now he is unarmed and helpless. He sit behind the cabin door and hoping this would delay whatever outside intrude his cabin. However, when the first light of sun finally shine on the ground, he found a dead lone wolf lying outside the window, a javelin stick on its' abdomen, teared a large opening and blood leaked all over the ground. The spirits must have helped him in that shoot. He felt reborn. Not letting his second life slipped away, he decided to do everything he could to survive from this large pack of killers. Information and preparation, that's all in his mind. He cautiously go back to the site he discovered the footprints, observing the tracks: 1 big, 6 medium, 1 small. So there must be 7 wolfs left. Being extremely careful, he follow the tracks and set up a big deadfall trap in the place he thought those wolfs would come back, baiting it with a cut of bird meat. Retreating to his cabin, he chopped down every young tree he could find in the region, bringing all of the trunks inside the cabin. He set up another big deadfall trap right in front of his door, baited it. Then he change his sleeping pattern: Tracking and sleeping at daytime, stay alert and preparing javelin inside cabin at night. Few days later, at daytime, he noticed the legion was migrating towards the direction of his cabin and he knew that, the war is coming. But this time he is prepared. July 18, 2020, 08:39:52 AM |

Re: What's Going On In Your Unreal World?
  I'm concerned for the health of my character. All one surprise fight with three robbers, except that shallow cut with the condition box next to it. 0km/h a quarter of the map from home will be problematic. Was knocked unconscious at ~60%, woke up at 72%, and kept fighting from an advantageous position. Killed all three AFTER waking up, so at 90%+ total fatigue. July 24, 2020, 11:11:50 AM |

Re: Let salt be salt, not preservative
However, there were cultures that considered that offering bread and salt at a meeting was a sign of welcome and a guarantee of peace. In Italy, the first press of olive oil is celebrated with flat bread, sprinkled with rock salt and olive oil.Traditional house-warming gift in Finland is: rye bread, salt and moonshine/vodka. Bread so the house would never go hungry, salt so the house would never be poor and liquor so the house would never get sick. July 27, 2020, 04:41:44 AM |

Re: Torch Holder
The problem there is the short life time of torches. You barely have time to set them before they go out. I think a better option would be something that burns for longer (and with less smoke, although that's not modeled), akin to candles or oil lamps, but I don't know what was in use during the period.

Re: What's Going On In Your Unreal World?
Just as winter is setting in a dog came and was eating the hare bones outside. I tried to rope the dog but it just growled and eventually ran away. The next day as I check my trap fence I find the dog in a pit trap and try to rope him once again. Still no luck, so eventually I'm forced to turn him into dog steaks. Just as I'm skinning the hide an arrow flies by, then another, then I see a man on the other side of my game fence shooting arrows at me. I leap the fence, he strikes with a knife, I counter blow with my axe and down he goes. Now I have a nice new northern bow, arrows, and a hunting knife. edit : And a corpse I'm not sure what to do with? October 20, 2020, 01:41:01 PM |

Going nuts!
I know I'm not hugely active here on the forums, but I thought it might be worth suggesting a new forage food item: european hazelnuts (Corylus avellana). This species grows wild in southernmost Finland and might be unique to southern territories in the game map (Driik, Reemi, etc.) and provide another option when foraging in the forest. These can be shelled and then eaten raw or roasted, or maybe added as an additional ingredient for porridge and other existing recipes in the game. They might also be useful as an alternate bait item for small game that are attracted to these nuts in the wild (squirrels and birds especially). Huge fan of UrW, excited to keep playing and following its development!

Re: [Forum] Reached posting limit in Suggestions
Yep, it's one post per day limit there. We had hard time even to keep reading them all with a thought so a limit was added. I know many devs don't take suggestions all that seriously, but we like to spend some time with them, and really read and consider - and even reply once in a while.

Re: BogBean plants
Bogbean (menyanthes trifoliata) ‘raate’ beans/fruits are not large and separate like broad beans or green peas. Just little bulges on the floral stem. Ingame bogbean should IMO include flower-pods for the ‘bean’ part but even so; the main part of the plant definitely are the rhizomes, aka the root system.

Re: What's Going On In Your Unreal World?
Saw some suspicious movement pretty close to the cabin. Just 800-1000meters away on the far edge on the pine mire. Waited till early morning and sure enough, heard some singing about robbing people. Ah. Not in my neck of woods. Walked over to the nearby Reemi village that has 4 hunters. Asked Kaleva, Sampsa, Heimo and Olli to join for some “chores”. Heimo and Olli both carry longbows, so I gave 3 javelins each to Kaleva and Sampsa, so there’d be proper opening salvo and less friendly fire. Met the four robbers, two armed with short bows and other two armed with double hand axes. on the pine mire, initial arrows hit the first robber, who was carrying short bow. The crook never got a chance to shoot his bow as Kaleva’s javelin hit hit him square in the chest, killing him. The other bandit archer was ushered in by Teppo’s 2 dogs to keep him from shooting in the melee. Heimo got hit in his left shoulder by one of the bandit’s axes. But he stood stern and swung his staff, knocking the bandit on his knees. Elsa the big bitch knocked the archer down and pummeled him instantly while down. The bandit fell unconscious and Nappi, the small male, was on his throat like an enraged glutton. Ganging up 5+2 vs 2 was over brief, but last live bandit managed to cut Teppo on his calf from the ground as last desperate attempt. He took woodsman axe hit to his abdomen from Olli and Teppo all but severed the bandit’s head. Picked up the loot, walked the boys back to their village, gave knives axes and some better condition garments as payment for the brief, yet gory, work all done before midday high sun. All the men from the village were expecting a longer employment, but were very thankful for generous pay. January 11, 2021, 06:08:47 PM |
