Mod Releases / Re: [3.80] Community Mod BAC: Smith, Cooking, Survival, Carpentry, Sewing and More!
« on: September 07, 2023, 09:19:39 PM »Is there a BAC coming for 3.81? I am cursed to run URW via Steam, which I do not understand very well and which has a tendency to automatically install updates without the courtesy to ask me first!
My character is almost five years in now, and I don't want to risk any problems with an inadvertent upgrade to 3.81.
3.80 to 3.81 isn't huge difference. I think Netmaking is only thing that needs to be commented out / adjusted in BAC.

General Discussion / Re: Would it be okay if the game was in other languages?
« on: September 06, 2023, 08:36:14 AM »
This topic comes up every few months. The game is in UnReal English. There are several phrases that don't easily translate to other languages.
Some of the phrases have... dubious... grammar in English, at best, but for a "born in north" person, the "Been worse" from a villager: makes perfect sense.
From previous replies from Sami: almost all of the syntax from text feedback is hard coded. There's no "insert alternate language translations here" option in the code. In other words, to have UnReal World in other language: good 90% of any text feedback of the game would need to be re-written.
For a 2 person Dev team: that'd put ANY new versions/bug squishing/community feedback (Suggestions) on hard halt for several years.
(I recall translation offers for Danish, Finnish, Russian, and unless I'm losing it, also Korean, in last 6-7 years... the game/code itself isn't written for localization.)

Bug reports / Re: Game freezes, lost all companions on reload
« on: September 06, 2023, 08:22:11 AM »
First of all: losing one animal sucks.. 3 dogs, cattle and companions. Just ARGH, that's material for "STFU, I'm not happy camper!"
By any chance, did you Save and Exit right after?
As that would be the 2nd most beneficial scenario for bug hunting.
Best scenario for bug hunting is to go to the game executables folder while the game is frozen*, copy the character folder and save it elsewhere (I use folder called /backup), then force close.
*as long as it's only game that froze, not also your operating system.

Suggestions / Re: Combat Skill, Companion Tracking, & Returning Companions
« on: September 05, 2023, 07:18:45 PM »
For future reference, please separate Suggestions (new Suggestions are limited 1 per day)
Devs prefer single suggestion per post, so something possibly beneficial won't get over looked by another suggestion.
Separate Fighting skill has been also suggested prior, without much traction from devs.
I do agree the re-hiring should be sooner, especially if all companions make back alive.
For the "returning to home village" part, I've come to rely on Map F6 notes for a lot of the "I should remember this"
When I'm recruiting 1 or several companions, I'll generally tag the Village green X and list the name(s) of companions. Helps when looking companions later on too. (Only trouble since Smiths were added, I label those villages with yellow..)

Can you please report the bug. Mention version you’re running, and the above. Sami likely wants to squish this bug.
Here’s thread of previous occurrence

« on: August 31, 2023, 04:37:37 PM »Just had the game freeze and had to force it closed... the game erased two bulls and a cow that I had on leashes. RIP.
Follower/animal status often gets haywire on forced close.
I tend to make backups maybe 4-6 in-game months.
Does your character still hold empty leashes or were the animals tied to trees/fences?

Tracking elk from early morning, across spruce mires, frozen lakes, heathland, more spruce mires... To finally find the elk bull. Trapped in the bear trap 1 tile from the cabin. At least it's easy hauling for drying the meat!

Bug reports / Re: [3.81] Tree trunk spawned in inventory while fishing
« on: August 29, 2023, 03:30:32 AM »
Then there's not much to go with. Please save, compress it, and email; if it ever happens again.
Out of curiosity, did you use fishing rod, if so, with or without a bait?
From past bugs: I assume you didn't catch any fishes, is that correct?

Did you make a copy of the save game?
Emailing it to Sami would be in order, but only if you saved right after. You can resume play after sending.

Suggestions / Re: Containers need an Unpack command
« on: August 25, 2023, 06:39:33 PM »I agree. There should be such a command. You buy a basket of seeds for bird-trap baiting but it turns out to be that you can't do that because you can't seperate seeds from a container of them. It's against the common sense.
This is generic seed bait recipe: takes 0.25 lbs of any seeds (as recognized by the game engine), assigns them as "Rye" Crafting engine doesn't recognize the Rye as a plant, so no threshing the bait. And produces 10 seed baits each weighing 0.4oz
Graphic credit goes to Enormous Elk, it's 1:1 copy of sorrel seeds.
Place this in any suitable diy_xyz.txt file
Code: [Select]
.Seed bait. (10) "Rye" [effort:0] [phys:hands] *COMMON* /1/ |-2| [noquality]
{Seeds} #0.25# [remove] [name:%s bait]
[WEIGHT:0.025]
[TYPE:food]
[PRICE:0.001]
[SPOILAGE_DAYS:0]
[tilegfx:jp_seed]
And save the attached graphic in \truetile\ folder
Edited the recipe to use Rye as baseitem.

Bug reports / Old man snow fatigue
« on: August 25, 2023, 12:47:28 AM »
I think it's due slight adjustment, as Long gray bearded old man should NOT get snow fatigue. FWIW, it's early Center month and snow is knee deep.

Saw a badger shaped figure on small lake next to me on a way to cabin from trap lines.
Boy was I surprised to see dead badger and a squirrel running away once I took a look around...
