Also flowering seems weird: the tree flowers the rest of the year after flowering month? Shouldn't it supposed to flower only during the flowering month?

I think (haven’t recorded though) ‘flowering’ lasts until withered.

Edited the Suggestion.
And yes, now that you mentioned it, willow grouse, capercaillie, or swan skins should be definitely varied sizes.

Please include per character/save pc-male.png/pc-female.png graphic. That’d make playing with varied character looks more immersive (and less hassle to switch between characters)

Deer and elk calf skins are minuscule.
Also, boars and sows give only 4lbs skin and seals 5lbs. Yet the body/torso size of ‘sus scrofa’ isn’t much smaller from ‘rangifer tarandus fennica’
I.e. reindeer yield 8lbs skins for roughly same body area.

E.g. making a skin for liquids takes 4lbs of leather, that’s the entire pig’s skin. Of course there’s some loss, but the ratio is way off.

Tl;dr; please check: calves, boars and sows, and seal skin yields.

Preferably around:
3lbs skin from young deer calves, 5lbs (winter skin) from old calves*
8lbs skin from elk calves, 12lbs (winter skin) from older calves*
6-7lbs skin from boars, sows
edit: 6lbs from ringed seals, 16-20lbs from grey seals

Yea, I've noticed that they start to appear about a year in.  They are still really rare though.

One of my characters is on second year with 60+ Njerpez killed. No camp yet. But I put that guy on standby for now. Started on the west coast. We’ll see what if I can make a Njerpless run. (They boost wealth like crazy)

Kylpymies would be ‘bathman’ (kylpeä: to bathe)

‘Vesi’ is water.

Also, if none of your items are close for the trade value, they’ll suggest the lowest value item, even if it were twice the worth.

Bug reports / Re: [3.63] The ice breaks and you fall in the freezing water

« on: December 09, 2020, 04:06:31 AM »

I’ve reported same issue when breaking ice with a raft. But my character was standing in the water. On the raft tile. I think it was in 3.52 or so.

Suggestions / Re: Note taking

« on: December 09, 2020, 04:03:55 AM »

I’ve used the F6 notes, colors and some mental math to label meat drying and smoking(pre3.63) ready times. Even with them, switching characters can be tricky.

I’m about 100% certain that any non-Driik could even read or much less write. So RP note taking is debatable at best.

Previous Well Suggestion by @Ara D.

TL;dr; @Sami reckoned that asking for water hole location would be doable.

Like then, I do support for asking for the location and especially a graphic of well &/ shadoof.

Well our president is Niinistö as in "Lime(?) Bast Grove" 

“Lime” can be translated also as “lehmus”, not just “limetti”
Yeah, most of the time “lehmus” gets translated to “linden”.

Suggestions / Re: seal-catching and dangers of entangling into a net

« on: December 08, 2020, 04:00:37 AM »

I’d like too see an effect on baiting a net for predatory fish, seal and ospreys (we could always have more birds)

Drop some roaches or smelt/sparkling on the nets and get the pike-perch fill the net in warm summer waters. Do it in rivers and get some salmon/trout goodness. Or anytime/anywhere with open water, those darn ‘shore-crocodile’ pikes.

With @Sami re-doing the angling, I’m hopeful he’ll do small eye nets/large eye nets and varied fish traps sometime after.

My worst kill/best spear practice was 22 skull hits on small forest reindeer doe. With fine northern spear’s shaft.
