Re: Ancient Savo : A new Enormous Elk game in the making What kind of modding support do you envision this eventually having? Because I wish you luck either way, but good modding support will be the major factor in my decision to back/purchase this.

Re: Noob Questions
These questions have already been answered six years ago in Reddit. I'm afraid I have to judge the OP to have some spammy intentions.

Damn, I was just about to write my thesis about how to start off with the game :'( :'(

Greetings! Sami's old flint and steel video still somewhere? Hello everyone, I wanted to share a short story with you all. I first found this game ~20 years ago when I was just a kid in middle school. Back then I liked the idea of the outdoors but I wasn't very skilled, so playing UnReal World was fascinating to me and I would learn about plants and shelter building in my spare time.

Later when I was in my early 20s, I discovered a video by Sami where he was next to a stove. He produced a fire bag and from it he pulled tinder fungus, a flint, fire steel, birch bark, and some other form of tinder. Back then I found this fascinating and the bushcraft scene wasn't on YouTube like it is now, so this was my introduction to flint and steel. It was like magic to me and I wanted to learn how to do it. Lacking the internet resources available back then, I had to figure out how to make do with what I had and by carefully watching that video. I ended up using a smooth sided file as my fire steel and red jasper for my flint. After learning how to make charcloth from old jeans and an altoid tin I finally got a coal going. Then a small fire. Man... that might have been a little moment, but to me it meant a lot.

You might say things took off like a fire after that. :) I became really intrigued with all aspects of primitive living and the differences across all cultures in how they lived. Now, I don't produce any content because of an admitted lack of drive, and I'm no name in bushcraft although some are aware of it. But really, it's just been a life passion and I credit that video and this game for helping me get so interested when I was younger.

Thank you to everyone involved in this game for bridging such a rare gap of gaming and the true feel of the outdoors. The UnReal World is still an incredibly unique game. Maybe it's nostalgia for me at this point, but nothing else brings images of actually being in the wild to my imagination.

So I must ask... I've tried hard to find that flint and steel video. Is it still available anywhere?

My recreation of Sami's birch bark fire starting method, from 2013:

This works amazing even when the whole forest is soaked, by the way!

Getting ready for tea out in the steppes:


Take care, everyone!

Re: 3.70b migrated character, soil month, temperature too hot n4il: 23rd of swidden, migrated character Yrkki. No snow, temperature is 1/5th red. spend a little time preparing my field
n4im: temperature is suddenly 100% red.

I said earlier that sometimes it takes a week for me to notice that the temperature has gone red, but since I'm paying attention right now, it does seem to be happening reliably within the first hour. My experience with the characters I spent longer playing was that after being hot for a while it would get cold again and then go hot again, so it's possible that I just wasn't paying attention and only noticed the second occurence of "suddenly everything is hot". Me not noticing it going hot right away isn't the same as it not going hot right away, after all.

I have a few more unmigrated characters where it's winterish, so I'll test migrating one more character and then I'll start making new characters.
