Not bugs / [not a bug] Adventurer's Woodman's Axe quest = won't accept trade payment.

« on: October 21, 2018, 02:45:07 AM »

As soon as you load the game you'll find the adventurer in question a few tiles to the right.

I'm not trying to buy something from the adventurer, I'm trying to pay for something I picked up from the floor.

Save game.

Gameplay questions / Re: Does cured skin or hide retain preservation even after starting tanning process?

« on: October 19, 2018, 05:16:10 PM »

I've use curing to preserve skins about once... I would expect curing to preserve the skin until you start the tanning process, but once there, I'd expect things to proceed normally.

Makes sense, but adding my relatively short gameplay time + gut feeling, tells me that the curing protection extends past the tanning process.

I believe I've had cases there my character got too tired to actually start to clean elk skin so that was delayed to the next day, at which time it had degraded one step, but again, I'm not sure.

What you said, and I don't like to rush/tie myself to my camp for the next 3 days.

Tanning an elk skin is usually a 3 day process, with the first day being kill/butcher/clean/tan 1, the second morning being tan 2, and the third day spent performing the final stage.

Where do you insert drying/smoking/cooking the meat cuts in your routine?

After taking down a medium/large animal I usually:

Close to home:

• Unless I or my pack animal can't carry the whole carcass home, I skin and butcher on site.
• At home I drop the skin and meat cuts in my cellar that has access to water.
• I eat/drink as needed.
• Dry/smoke as much of the meat cuts.
• Depending on how many meat cuts I have left (ran out of cords) and how much short term food I have (fish/meat soups in the cellar), I make enough soup to fill up my short term food supply and then roast the rest. 99% of the time my camp is by rapids and so I have no trouble maintainig a steady supply of fish soups.
• I drop all the roasted meat cuts in the cellar.
• I eat/drink as needed.
• I clean the skin.
• I cure the skin.
• If I have a good amount of roasted meat cuts left over, I rush to a village to sell them.

Far from home, but close to a village:

• I skin and butcher on site.
• I carry the raw skin and raw meat cuts to the village.
• I roast all the meat cuts by the fireplace.
• As soon as all the meat cuts have turned into roasted meat cuts, I sell away as many as I can.
• If the village has a water tile that I can find, I clean the skin there, otherwise I head over to the nearest lake/shore.
• I eat/drink as needed.
• I clean the skin.
• I cure the skin and I mark the location of the skin and when I should come back to pick it up.
• I head home to drop my loot/purchases.

Far from home and village:

• I skin and butcher on site.
• I pick up everything and head over to the nearest lake/shore and look for a suitable spot (preferrably adjacent to a water tile and tree). If I can't carry everything in one go, I carry all the meat cuts that I can, find a suitable spot and roast meat cuts in batches of 10, and then I head back to pick up the rest.
• As soon as I've finished cooking the meat cuts, I eat roasted meat cuts and drink as needed and then I clean the skin.
• I cure the skin and I mark the location of the skin and when I should come back to pick it up.
• I rush back to the nearest village to sell the roasted meat cuts. I go back and forth if I can't do it in one trip.
• I head home to drop my loot.

Not bugs / Re: Not receiving reward/training upon completion of Adventurer's Woodman's Axe.

« on: October 19, 2018, 03:10:04 AM »

pretty sure there is no bug.
As soon as I stabbed your sheep in the neck with your spear the skill went to 83

So that's how it works! I was expecting the skill points to be magically added. I didn't know you actually had to "practice" your skill before getting the points.
I think the quest giver did mention something about practicing. I thought it was flavor text.

I'm such a noob 

I guess I learned 2 things today:
Listen to your sensei (quest giver).
You don't have to be right on top of a carcass to skin it or butcher it (watched it on youtube).

Unfortunately that character already died at the hand of a sword wielding Njerpez that somehow I thought I could take on while already at 40%+ penalty mostly from bruises I received while climbing and falling from trees.

I have your training mod, although I haven't got a chance to use it yet. Only 3 points as reward for a skill that I could have leveled up on a training dummy doesn't seem worth a woodman's axe.
Unless the quest giver offers me a skill not covered by the dummies I'll probably keep the woodman's axe next time.

The quest giver is sleeping in the tile above me.

I made sure to check what spear skill level I had (80) before talking to the adventurer for the reward.

Gameplay questions / Does cured skin or hide retain preservation even after starting tanning process?

« on: October 18, 2018, 08:30:18 PM »

I've been curing every single skin or hide I've had out of fear that it would either rot or degrade.

As the title says, does curing all your skins/hides give you long term protection from rot or degradation, even after you started the tanning process?

How long does it usually take for a skin to degrade and/or rot during the summer?

The character folder is around 200 MiB. Do I need to upload the whole folder? Where do you suggest I upload it to?

put it available for download where you like.

In this case it's not necessary to have exact backup right after the incident, but if you just have the character in the village where it happened I can try to check few things.

However, if something like this happens again the sooner after the incident you can come up with a backup the more easily we can solve what might be the reason.

Here's the save game. I'm already in the deceased old man's village.

Edit: just uploaded a new version.
I did my usual thing of gathering stuff and I found a knife, picked it up, and it looks like it's the one the old man used to use.
I sent a kill signal to the game, reloaded the game and now in the new save game I uploaded I'm standing right beside the knife in question.

Bug reports / Re: Acquiring items without trading

I think technically it is stealing but if the taken items remain in the village the villagers should reclaim them.

Before I read your post I picked up items marked "taken", dropped them (I didn't test if I needed to pay for them), picked them back up, and then I was told I needed to pay for them when I was ready to trade.

I don't have a backup save game of that incident. I went back to the village and the stuff is not in any of the buildings.

I'll try hard to remember to upload the save game next time.

Bug reports / "you touch it, you bought it policy" for dead villager's belongings.

When I visit villages for the first time or when they have refreshed their items for trading (they do refresh right?), I like to move dried goods and other items I might be interested in buying in one location and so far I've had no issues with villagers yelling at me.

A village I visited was attacked by wolves and an old man was killed. At first none of the other villagers were interested in taking the old man's body or his loot, that was until I picked it all up (body included).
I got yelled at from a distance for trying to not pay for the old man's items, and before I could get the reputation hit (or did it happen anyway?) by allowing one of the villagers to start a conversation, I dropped all of the old man's stuff on the ground.
The entire village rushed over to the old man's loot to pick it up and I guess drop it inside the village's buildings.

Fast forward a week or so and I come back to the village and find worn out clothing and a knife (I forgot they were the old man's belongings) and so I do my usual routine of gathering all the stuff I may be interested in buying in my designated dumping location.
Unlike the normal items you find in the buildings, once I picked up the old man's belongings that were now stored in the buildings I somehow got treated with a "you touch it, you bought it policy".
Even if I dropped all the old man's stuff back in one of the buildings, when I talked to any adults in the village about trading, I would get the "you need to pay for the stuff" conversation.
The incident concluded with one of the villagers chasing me down to pay for the old men's stuff that were not in my possession and me telling them that "I can't pay for them, take them back".
I continued to talk to the person to see if I got a reputation hit, but he seemed cheery as usual. I either did not get a reputation hit OR my reputation with the village was high enough that this incident wasn't severe enough to make their attitudes change.

Mod Releases / Re: The Massive menu Module

« on: October 16, 2018, 09:41:00 PM »

If I understand what you made, would I be able to create a "Favorites" menu where I can my most used recipes?

Yes you can.
Note: You can not "duplicate" vanilla recipes in alternate menus without either changing the name of the item produced or removing the vanilla recipe (to avoid name conflicts).

I'm using the following mods:
bees_mead_v3_5
cheese_mod v1.0
coop v3.5
diy_fcuts
fishfarm_v3_5
Nydxz Crafts 0.7.1 - Smith learning
woodstack_v3_5

and all 25 slots in the Handcraft Options are being used.

Is there a way to add a new skill called "Favorites" that I can alt+d to quickly access the recipes within?

Can you use the cheese or any of the other recipes to trade with?

In my inventory I had 3 entries for cheese. 2 of those entries only had 1 quantity and the last one had 4.

I tried to use them to trade but I would get the "The x is unworthy in this barter." even for the stack of 4 cheese.

 Just a guess, the npc in question may not have been accepting food(s) in trade for whatever you were bartering for.

I tested it on all the different people I could ask in the village I was in. I think I had picked up a squirrel or some small animal's fur to trade for.

People who hate cheese:
Old man
Peasant
Woman
Housewife
Adventurer
Sage
