Suggestions / Make rafts see-able on main map?

« on: May 20, 2021, 10:02:46 PM »

On a couple of occasions I've landed a raft on shore, gone to do something  – usually visiting a riverside village  – and forgotten exactly which square of the zoomed out map I left it on. I then have to spend about 5+ minutes searching around until I found it.  It's like if you lost your car in a parking lot at a very large store, but Iron Age edition. To avoid this, I've taken to marking them on the F6 "super-wide-view" map with a marker tagged "parking" but then one has to remove them again when you leave or else that map gets cluttered.

It would be a small playability kindness to players to have raft visible on the zoomed out map, like shelters are. I would say if there is a square with a raft and a shelter, then the shelter would take precedence in being displayed, and be the only object shown. You're less likely to forget if you left your raft at the shelter square.

Bug reports / Villagers Do Not Claim Stuff From Njerpez They Killed

« on: January 31, 2021, 01:36:04 AM »

I walked into a village that was being attacked by Njerpez -- I saw the red cloak the move before I went into the village, saw the messages that I heard sounds of fighting, saw a fleeing villager, and then I ran out. I went back later in the day, and there's two Njerpez dead in the middle of town. I took their stuff to try to trade for it, but the villagers didn't want anything for it -- just for a small knife that I can only presume belonged to one of them that died fighting (I actually traded some of the Njzerpez clothing back to them for it). So I'm now rolling with llamellar cuirass, iron helm, and shortsword almost from the start of the game. This character is an escaped slave so there's some justice to it, but the whole thing seemed worth reporting as a potential bug. Logically it would seem like the villagers would feel ownership over possessions of Njerpez they killed.

Oh, also, maybe consider increasing the frequency of axes of some kind in Kaumo villages. For such a core item they seem to extremely rare. (This is why I was wandering village to village in the first place, and this is the second game I've started near Kaumo lands and have had a lot of difficulty obtaining an axe).

Gameplay questions / Re: Any way to find lost items?

Thank you MrMotorhead, successfully used this after I dropped a pile of furs to hunt down an elk. I was on MacOS so opened a terminal and did 'tail -f msgs.txt" to see my current location as compared to the point where I'd dropped.
