Nice, i was wondering about this. I was about to make a thread asking how it works.

Sorry about bumping this thread, but since the new steel update, I have to ask:
Does having high industry belief increase the chances of getting bloom or successfully creating wrought iron?

[jorb]

Not at the moment. I kept reminding myself to add that in during our dev session, but then it, of course, completely slipped my mind. It will be fixed, and I'll post here when it is.

I am getting the feeling you guys need to write down stuff while in dev session.

whats "Grievous damage"? is that HHP damage?
so does +20% Grievous damage mean you do more HHP damage or take less?

You guessed right about the type of damage. :)
It means you deal 20 % more.

Here's another question, for Nature/Industry, when is the bonus calculated?

As in, is the bonus added when you mine the ore, put the ore in the smelter, or when you light the fire?
Same for planting, is the bonus added when you plant it or when you harvest it?

[kaka]

Good question.
I know for a fact that constitution gained from barbarism does not add to your hp.

I know for a fact that constitution gained from barbarism does not add to your hp.

Wouldn't that be a bug then? Why else would you want more con? Does it follow that the Str doesn't add to your damage?
