Re: Avoiding early game starvation (for new players).
I'd also add that the light lever trap, the smallest deadfall, can help immensely. They take a slender tree trunk, branches and a stone (heavier than a rock). With searching and luck you might find these without having any tools. With a knife or axe you can fell younger trees. Like setting the loop snares from yarn you want a high number. I normally guard my sleeping shelters with these plus others at strategic spots. Every day or two reset the traps that didn't catch anything. The game does a skill check when its set then needs time for things to happen. You don't know the roll when setting the trap. The more times you reset traps or loop snares the quicker your trapping skill goes up. There are more elaborate traps which take more resources to make, like a shovel to make a pit. The light lever trap is my preferred one. Put 3 or so in row and your gameplay is a lot of the "r" repeat button. With loop snares you need to "a" apply each one. Slightly more buttons. A lot of loop snares you can pick up to travel with you. Can't do that with deadfalls. June 14, 2023, 10:29:38 AM |

Re: Avoiding early game starvation (for new players).
And always bait your traps as soon as you can. Birds like berries and most berries won't give you enough nutrition to live. Carnivores like raw meat, and most will eat spoiled raw meat. Some carnivores will eat cooked (dried, smoked, roasted) meat but only if it's not spoiled. Hare and deer like roots: milkweed roots, turnips, etc. In summer, harvest lake reeds to eat. They're very nutritious. If you don't have any bait at all for rod fishing, it's not worth, but you can use a club, spear, or javelin to get a pike. Then you can use pieces of the pike for rod fishing. June 14, 2023, 10:13:58 PM |

Re: Craftable fishing nets and more
Looks great! Having to shop for nets was always the most tedious part of fishing. Since nets will be craftable, would it be possible to also make other kinds of fish traps? I'm thinking about small basket type traps (like the "katiska"). These could be crafted much faster than nets when time is of essence but they also get you less fish in the long run. And I know its a long shot but any chance larger stationary fish traps could be included? Liistekatiska, a large wish trap made with thin strips of wood in shallow water forming a shape that lures in fish, was quite common fish trap historically in the region. June 16, 2023, 10:52:14 PM |
