The robbers have transformed into Njerps...  Swimming skill at 61. I want to get off that island...

I've already counted tiles with island hopping. Total distance is about 15 tiles diagonally. Longest distance is about 6-8 tiles. If I cross two tiles diagonally, it's 6. If I miss it's 7 or 8. So I think it's too risky.

However, there's a small island only 2 tiles away. I can reach that to explore the region further. Maybe I can see more from there.

I've been training along the shore and reached swimming skill of about 50. According to the Wiki I'll need probably 100. Apparently you can cross 7 wilderness tiles with a skill of 100 and no burden. The safest way to get off the island is by crossing twice about 5 tiles. I can see a village from my shelter but this will mean crossing 7 tiles which seems a bit risky. All I need is my fishing rod and a few cords to create a new stone axe and a new stone knife. The robbers only left me with boots, so I'm running around naked anyway. ;-) The coldest I got so far is numbingly cold and I'm at the end of Fallow month. So, I suppose water temperatures should still rise a bit.

I can't see the robbers anymore. I don't know where they are. Could they possibly get off the island? There are bears, elks and even reindeers. I stumbled upon almost any other animal but no robbers anymore.

I've checked the Wiki for more information on swimming. It seems I might get off if my swimming skill is high enough. So, back to training then... Luckily they left me the fishing rod and I started in summer. So survival is at the moment no issue.

I've also thought about training timbercraft in the hopes of forcing my character to make those one board I need. However, it seems that this is not the way the skill is working.

I'm very bad at fighting and always tried to avoid fights with all my characters. I'm just hopeless at it. So fighting the robbers isn't a good idea. I might try a few trap pits though.

Hi, I've just come back to the game after a longer break. I chose to start my new character on an island in the south (Islander area). Now, it seems I'm stuck on that island. Any ideas how I might get off?

I have only a stone axe and can't make boards with it. No boards, no paddle. No paddle, no movement on deeper water.

There's no island close enough to swim across and there is no village on my island for trading.

There are some robbers with better tools but they've already robbed me. I have no real weapons anymore. (Just started with a bow anyway.)

Thank you for your answer.

I could swear I've checked all cliffs in the area and did not find any treasure. Must have missed something then...

Not bugs / [let it be] Snow showing on open water tiles

« on: July 24, 2017, 04:03:49 PM »

I just got the first snow that is actually staying on the ground. The tiles are speckled in white and when looking at the ground it tells me: very faint snow. Now the weird bit is, that I get the same speckles on tiles with open sea. The water in this tile is not frozen yet, so how can snow stay on the water?

Solved'n'fixed bug reports / [Fixed - persists in 3.40] Linen trousers cover feet

I wear linen trousers that cover my feet. As much as I like my feet warm, I think it's weird that trousers cover my feet.

Hi everyone

I need help finding a treasure. I need to look for a chasm in a cliff. I have no clue how this is supposed to look like. There are plenty of cliffs in the area named and I feel like I'll be digging the whole winter to find that treasure.

My current character doesn't have much luck with hunting and needs desperately some furs for winter clothing and skis. This treasure might just be the way to finally get some furs.

Thank you!
