Re: F1 help ought to cover smoking
The changes to smoking of food has made it quite a chore to perform, which is probably a reflection of the reality, but, more importantly, is quite impenetrable to players. There's really a need to explain both how much wood you need to use, how often you need to repeat the burning, as well as for how long you need to do it. None of these steps are intuitively obvious to people not familiar with smoking, and even those who are may well know how to use it as a means of cooking (for immediate/near term consumption) rather than a means of long term preservation. Hear, hear. All the practical information of these can be found from the news.txt, but that's not the most friendly source - at least for beginners - during the gameplay. We've now added SMOKING and FIREPLACE game encyclopedia entries, of which SMOKING is highlighted in the cookery menu Smoking option. We aren't likely to give exact numbers of many firewoods to burn, but it's stated that to keep fire burning for 3-4 hours equals to proper heating, and for smoking a daily warming is preferred. This is largely copy & pasting the news.txt entries with few edits. February 20, 2023, 01:27:34 PM |

Re: Krutzel's Spirited Sprites
I've never actually experienced the spirits in the game, but any information about the visual descriptions would be very appreciated. I'd love to see the quest dialog you are referencing. At the moment I don't have on hand the lines about the Forest Spirit. I do remember something about how he can change his size at will. It would be funny to have alt versions of the sprite where he's as high as a little gnome or a giant (like the preview pics of the URW v3.30 graphics update).

Re: The UrW Anti-RSI Campaign group. ARSI, for short.
Yep one can get RSI only by using a mouse, or even a single key, if just keep grinding enough. But ways to reduce keyboard jockeying is of course naturally welcome for many. Sometimes it's a matter of playstyle if you get into serious grinding just to increase skills, but yeah in the archery game-course it's truly a real problem if the skill is high to start with. This is suggestion is also read and listened, and game courses are something we'll re-think anyway in the future. February 21, 2023, 11:58:21 AM |

Animal droppings - an indicator and a fertilizer
The past days have been about poop code and poop tiles... as the many different animal droppings, i.e. feces, will appear into the unreal world. So, what's coming up is that certain animals will start to leave visible droppings that can be found in the terrain. We're adding droppings for the commonly noticeable and relevant animals; hare, fox, lynx, wolf, reindeer, elk, bear, and so on. The droppings of different species look a bit different, and upon looking at them you will be told which animal's droppings it is - and also if it's a fresh one. Some domestic animal droppings are being considered as well, but we'll have to experiment a bit more to see how/if to implement it. What is to featured as well, and would be in favour with domestic animal droppings, is that the droppings can be also used as fertilizer on your fields. It will be possible, but not necessary, as the slash-and-burn cultivation already includes fertilization with the ash from the burned wood. However, we could see fertilizing with the animal droppings increasing the yields slightly. Here's some screenshots with different kind of droppings indicating the animal presence at these areas.    These are future additions - not yet functional in the current version 3.72.2 February 21, 2023, 06:39:58 PM |

[Fixed - persists in 3.72.2] Animals drowning when tied to a tree next to water
I was attacking a Njerp village, and once I had done for most of them I tied my eight dog meatshield to a tree next to four water tiles in an open mire. When I came back from clearing the village around an hour later, four of my dogs had drowned. It seems the dogs left on water tiles drowned, even though many dogs can occupy a single tile if need be. They preferred to sink gloriously into the swamp than snuggle up. Seems a little harsh

Re: De-hair sometimes not needed... but CAN be done, nevertheless.
Now it's made so that non-fur skins can't be de-haired, and notification about this is mentioned upon trying so. This clear issue of de-hairing birds, and also the possibility of de-hairing already de-haired skins after curing them again. So, all fixed.

Re: Animals drowning when left tied to a tree next to water
Seems all too harsh! The good news is that I managed to reproduce it. I tied one dog to a tree at open mire, with open water next to it. I observed the dog wading in there normally, with no ill effects. Then zoomed-out, waited for some time, and returned - and the dog had drowned. So it seems the idle-time checks, when the player is not on the map, are to blame for the creature drowning. Now this is likely a same mechanic that makes the NPCs still sometimes to drown in village ponds. Chances to fix this for both the dogs and NPCs are now very good. Sorry for your loss, thanks for the report. February 27, 2023, 03:26:02 PM |

Re: Animals drowning when left tied to a tree next to water
Alright, we found the cause! The issue was a result of creature body temperature calculations not properly taking into account the creature's true chances of staying out of the water, and even wading in the cold water gradually kept lowering their body temperature until hypothermia was reached which then lead to drowning. It's fixed now, and there's a good chance that the issue of NPCs drowning in village puddles has been of the same origin. Fixed - persists in 3.72.2 February 28, 2023, 05:57:59 PM |
