Gameplay questions / Re: Utility knives and axes in 3.50

« on: April 16, 2018, 03:18:43 AM »

The small knife is used for a number of handicraft task, I think, and is rather essential in Buiodda's Crafts mod.
The hunting knife is a fighting knife, essentially, and can be seen as a generic alternative to the Northern or the Kaumolais knife.
The Fisher's knife isn't preferred for anything in vanilla, as far as I know. I guess it would be good for cleaning fish, but there's no such task in UrW currently.
The "knife"(i.e. without any specific purpose) isn't preferred for anything, unsurprisingly.

Just to add, the encyclopaedia states that the hunting knife is best for butchering, but the broad knife is preferred over it. is this intended?

something strange is occurring in my game:
fine shortsword is preferred for cutting branches. if I don't have it, the game chooses a fine broadsword.
but in the inventory I have handaxe, broad knife, northern knife and hunting knife

> what are the differences between your mod and Buoidda's Crafts mod?

This mod is intended to be somewhat simpler to use and less comprehensive than other crafting mods.  Fewer stages and less complicated recipes, generally.  E.g., I'm using wooden stakes or staffs instead of specially crafted handles when ironworking.

Yes!  I've got issues for several potential uses: https://github.com/caethan/urw-sufficiency/issues
Things I've thought of:

• bone fishhooks
• bone weapons
• bone cookery (e.g., marrow and broth)
• bone needles and combs (for weaving)

Other suggestions are welcome:  either make an issue on github or just make it here.  Development has been slow in the last couple months since I've got a pregnant wife and my game time has cut back a bit, but I do still plan to make updates.

> btw, I see there's a branch 6-encyclopedia-expansion on the github, can it be merged/used in the 3.5 version?

Not without some extra work - the main difference in the 3.5 branch is that urw3.5 made significant changes to the encyclopedia, so I had to change it to match.  I've been waiting on the official 3.5 release to come out of beta to port the encyclopedia improvements over.

nice ideas! regarding bonecraft, I guess you might take inspiration from Buoidda's Crafts since it had some boneworking system
also good luck with your family!  you'll have even less time in few months

hi caethan, this mod looks great,

what are the differences between your mod and Buoidda's Crafts mod?

any plans on making use of the new antlers and bones from the 3.5 version?

btw, I see there's a branch 6-encyclopedia-expansion on the github,
can it be merged/used in the 3.5 version?
