General Discussion / Micromanaging Rope lengths problem

« on: October 29, 2019, 08:36:57 PM »

Why are entire lengths of ropes wasted when you only need 5 feet of a 30 foot rope for a single arrow?
I'd like to use a really long piece of cord for when I'm crafting arrows in large batches. It should be assumed that my character is clever enough to separate the rope into pieces automatically during the craft time. Instead of having to manually cut 5 foot sections of cord for every single arrow I want.
This goes for every other recipe with rope lengths. I was confused as well when I tried drying 50 pieces of meat at once with a long rope and saw afterwards that the remaining 15 feet disappeared.

Kind of old, but I can confirm this works for beavers too who can bleed to death while diving and "float" back up.

I might be running on old information here. But paw-board fox traps, and regular 'ol planks have been considered easy(yet time-consuming) currency for a long time.

General Discussion / Re: Adding marriage - poll about how you find its priority

« on: November 23, 2018, 03:02:29 AM »

For me it would really complete the Unreal World experience to have a good reason to keep playing the game after the first winter. I support some sort of family-building or village-starting feature. Something that the game itself can do to add challenge without the player having to come up with his own handicaps and goals to stay entertained.  Once you know how to survive, the game as is only caters to a very small niche who enjoy playing without end-game challenges.

To those saying NPC interactions and relationships to the character will need to be upgraded first. Yes that's important, but "improving the AI" will be a stepping stone to Marriage anyway. It can be done along the way.

I hope we would get a way to treat other characters soon.

I've been out of the loop lately, and coming in after a long time and seeing all these tidbits about the next update is really exciting!

You've been already asked about this, but can't resist: with the new cubs and baby animals, how far is animal husbandry? And more important, human husbandry?

No animal husbandry yet unfortunately. That is wild animals only. I will be looking into the possibility to see if it can be modded in though after the release.
From all the times I've asked, "human husbandry" is remaining a very low priority (despite how badly I want it too). So that feature will be a long ways off.

Wolves are pretty tough. I'm surprised they managed to kill so many villagers though.
I've never seen animals go through a village, but there was a time a njerpez warrior did and he did not last very long.

General Discussion / Animals Spawning at Rapids

« on: August 17, 2017, 07:18:05 AM »

I thought I've read animal spawning behavior was changed so they do not pop up at rapids. I never had an animal spawn withing my homestead before as far as I can tell.
Because I just noticed this. I've built my cabin along the shore of some rapids and I was away from it for one night. Then I came back to find an elk within one of my traps.

Judging from the tracks the Elk spawned within my fence, 2 tiles from the shore. It made its away across my courtyard (southeast to the northwest corner) to a trap.

The tracks lead from that shore to here.


Has anyone seen this behavior in the latest version? Or could this be an animal spawning from traps being in the area? Either way, this bothers me because the trap-fence was meant to keep big animals/humans out.

Suggestions / Re: Finnish words alongside english

« on: August 11, 2017, 05:21:18 AM »

This would actually be cool to have as a setting. I think I would like learning what things are in the game through their Finnish names. It'd give the game a different feel.
I'd just need to learn how to pronounce those words so I can sound them out in my head.

Gameplay questions / Re: Traps - what am i doing wrong?

« on: August 11, 2017, 12:35:21 AM »

You will probably get an animal in those traps eventually. It's already been said, but might as well hammer the point in. Make a fence that bottlenecks the traps. Which leads large game towards it. My best spots have been natural isthmuses where you could block off a narrow stretch of land easily and catch anything trying to pass through your bottleneck.
* This doesn't mean you have to block off an entire area to get something. You can have trap fences in the middle of the forest and still catch something. Use trees as part of your fence as they are impassable too to large game.

Even my most unsuccessful trap areas had at least one animal per season.
Though the likelihood of success depends on your Trapping skill too. As you progress through the game, inevitably you'll randomly receive the Trap Blessing ritual which improves the catch chance.

I'm adding to what PALU said here. If you don't have a sauna, instead I recommend using the nearest village's sauna or any heated room and smoke your cuts inside it. Then safely grab everything later.

Gameplay questions / Re: Do Single-Tile Islands Generate Animals?

« on: August 01, 2017, 04:09:33 AM »

I don't see why not. But I trust PALU's answer. Though this doesn't exactly answer your question, I've seen a herd of reindeer spawn on a 4 tiled island.

The only the time they may not spawn on the island is when you're on that one tile zone too. Though birds and water creatures will still travel to your island.

I do not believe there is a hierarchy like that. But there are culture specific quests, depending on what character you go as.
Also seasonal specific.

There are some rarer, interesting ones, but I have seen no trace of those in my own games.

It would be nice if doing these quests weren't so tedious in trying to find who/what you're looking for.
That's the reason why I forget that quests are even a thing sometimes. Bad rewards for a week of boring work.
