Suggestions / Muff for hands

« on: September 17, 2019, 12:13:34 AM »

Could we add to the base game a "Muff" for the hands. It would add only the warmth category representing putting your hands inside when cold. The other combat modes for armor not present representing having the hands outside of the muff when wielding weapons. The separation of armor categories being applied is not possibly in the current modding language.

Suggestions / [3.60 Beta] Fur over boots

« on: September 17, 2019, 12:11:35 AM »

In the 3.60 Beta a note is:

- fixed: being able to wear fur footwear with shoes or boots already worn

  Not sure why this was considered a flaw needing to be fixed.

Raises the question about layering to stay warm in the feet during winter. Do not winter trackers put layers on their feet?

Could you add a fur over sized boot. One that is sized to slip on over top of the boot?

Short term I might mod it in.

not entirely sure if I've had to go do layers. Mostly it would impact early characters who lack cloth or linen to make the wraps (aka socks) to go inside boots.

I found it the same for hands. Frost bite for even semi-established characters when they have stacks of furs to make options out of.

Suggestions / Companions help push items

« on: September 16, 2019, 10:24:07 PM »

noticing the Companion help system for 3.60 beta if its not there already I humbly submit having companions could and should help with the time and energy to push heavy objects. This would mean they could help fell trees (doing on their own if need be), pushing the tree to the stead location and helping to build it.

AFAIK right now they dont help push heavy things so one of the choke points is going to be hauling the trunks/logs to the stead.

Modding / [3.60 beta] Use # feet of cord

With 3.60 beta what is the new command line for modders to use up # feet of cord in recipes?

Modding / [3.60 beta] What is the default cord/rope length starting in 3.60 beta

« on: September 16, 2019, 09:49:02 PM »

Brygun of BAC here

I am starting to over haul BAC for the numerous changes.

From the screenshot in the Steam news the cord and rope the NPC carried was 15 ft. Is that 15 feet the standard build size?

Need to know as the mod has various alternate makes and uses.

Suggestions / Adding "String" vs cord and rope

« on: September 16, 2019, 09:47:23 PM »

Brygun of the BAC here

With 3.60 beta hitting now might be a good time to suggest (or reiterate?) adding "string" as a base object.

Cord sounds alot like cordage which can be twisted bark, spruce roots or other low cost production. Used for things were a moderate strength is okay and there is no need to be slender.

String sounds like bowstring being a more finely crafted item making it better used in some tools or weapons like bows or other things were quality matters.

Rope would still be the big and strong item giving you strength at a higher resource cost.

Not bugs / Modded Barrel wrong weight

Persisting to today and BAC v059 is the issue of the barrel recipe resulting object having a weight of 4 (four) and not 80 (eighty)

General Discussion / Leaving dog behind on long trips

« on: August 29, 2019, 10:02:13 PM »

Im considering doing a long trip and leaving a dog at the stead to RP it protecting the other live stock.

My question is about whether I need to leave a large stock of food for it to access or would it die off if I was away too long?

the sheep eat grass and the game well enough looks after them on the tiles available in the enclosure (though in real life a long trip would need stockpiling feeds)

I dont think the game mechanics worries about water for them either.

Suggestions / More skills for vanilla

« on: August 29, 2019, 07:50:39 PM »

Brygun of the BAC here

Cross posting similiar concept mentioned in the Summery Summary thread for the upcoming developments...

Can you add some more skills to the vanilla game?

Metal working or Iron working since this is an Iron Age Finland game is leading one.

Ive also seen weaving and tailoring as useful one.

Third might be pottery but others might suggest something else.

As for the recipes thats another kettle of fish but we modders can do many things with the recipes but we can't add skills.

Suggestions / Make {Cord} a valid recipe

« on: February 17, 2019, 03:08:07 AM »

Brygun of the BAC here

During recent tests for tech levels within the BAC mod I found that having

{Cord}

as a recipe item didn't work.

I was hoping to access our various mod built things that use "Cord" as a base object.

There is in the BAC things like "split spruce twigs" which IMHO are good enough for tying up meat and low quality loop snares. I had hoped to use {*cord} for things with cord in their name to be a better quality tech level.

For that to happen, at the lower tech level, I had needed {Cord} to accept items with the cord base object.

I don't think this is a bug as there isn't a problem with the vanilla game. So I've put this in the suggestion forums.

The Real Heroes of Telemark

Survival expert Ray Mears hosts 3 shows, hosted as ~16 youtube 10 min snips, on the real World War 2 special operations at Telemark. There are various other movies and shows about this. This one focuses a lot on the winter survival methods not unlike what our characters go through in Unreal World

Modding / How does diy [optional] work in detail?

« on: January 10, 2019, 06:55:36 PM »

One relevant point of information is how does [optional] affect recipes outside of cookery? In cookery having the optional items present adds nutrition or medical values. Does having an optional item give you a boost? If there is no boost is there even a point in worrying about it?

Wiki modding information:
http://www.unrealworld.fi/wiki/index.php?title=Modding

[optional]
This parameter describes ingredients that may or may not be used when crafting the item. Most commonly used in cooking recipes, where ingredients may be optionally used that increase the nutritiousness of the produced dish.  In the below example, the seasoning doesn't have to be included in the mix, but will add its nutrition if it is.

Example:

.mega board. "Board" /1m/
{Log}
{Axe} [optional]

Suggestions / Recipe command [LOCK]

« on: December 31, 2018, 03:51:19 AM »

There are times in recipes, especially more complex build, where tools should be locked from use until the recipe times expire. Then they are available for use again.

Right now we can say items need to be available at the start but no way of stopping them from being used for something else while the main recipe "cooks".

For example in canoe building heavy stones are left inside to get the birch bark to form. Those stones shouldnt be taken out until days later.

Pots for instance should often be [LOCK] until their food finishes their cooking time.

Clamps for major wood projects should be place for hours. After that the clamps can be used for something else.
