Suggestions / Separate control access for dogs&followers

« on: March 28, 2020, 07:33:15 AM »

With dogs and or followers in tow, visiting villages and settlements can be bit tedious when [C]hat defaults to animal/follower and not chat.
So I suggest to move to dog (& follower) commands to ‘!’ From ‘C’ (as ‘c’ is close, and ^c is Cooking)
Logic here would be to command the others vs chat with your dog to Come, Doggo Come!; when you don’t even see the beast.
Also when visible, but out of conversation range, I need to turn away: not to see the dog, to be able to call it to come closer. Otherwise I get prompted “you get no response, get closer”

Solved'n'fixed bug reports / [Fixed - persists in 3.62] Vanishing Blunt arrows

« on: March 25, 2020, 03:51:56 PM »

Intermittent issue of vanishing blunt arrows.
Usually occurs when shooting a bird: hit it, it falls unconscious, run over, kick it in the skull. And the arrow isn’t there. Not before or after skinning/butchering. And ‘v’ log doesn’t show breakage message, neither is there broken arrow to be found around or on the bird.

Suggestions / On the trail

« on: March 21, 2020, 05:36:42 PM »

One thing I’ve not seen in the wilderness is ski tracks. I’m not sure how simple it is to model NPC hunters and adventurers to ski around, given their tendency to circle and wander around.

Foreign traders and Njerp parties, when sleighs&sleds(&carts) get added should use them and then your Finn, ahem, could trade/profit...

^Tracking skill check on ski tracks should reveal to direction of travel, where Looking at them wouldn’t necessarily. Also if there’s been heavy travel on the trail, or single skier. (Multiple ski stick marks, plenty of short ski kicks. Hoof prints for carts/sleighs.

On established trail*, fatigue should be lowered vs ploughing through fresh thigh deep snowdrifts.

Also, any tracks before snow, should be fully covered (removed) with snowfall.
And fresh tracks should imprint better/clearer after rain. So the spring shower wouldn’t really hinder stalker-tracker efforts on staying on a fresh trail.

*ski or foot trails in snow.

Question is, is all the additional work, worth the end result? LOL

Suggestions / Some cooking and modding improvements?

« on: March 18, 2020, 06:31:42 PM »

On the cooking recipe requirement check, can you also add "pot available" as second item either in inventory or 'nearby' in the the valid recipes? Of course, only as long as the pot is empty.

On similar note (I'm aware there's mod for it already), dried meat and fish has been used in cooking since ancient times. Is that something you think will be in vanilla at some point?

Third, is it viable to use water containers for Hideworking from ground/nearby similar to lakes, rivers, sea, swamps, bogs, marshes? Penalty goes up for smaller characters tanning bear and elk skins doubly for holding skin AND water container.

soom moro!
