Game Development: Prelude pt. II

[vatas]

Added Wilderness Beacon. Build it. Give it a name and it starts burning. It lasts for an hour before it is destroyed. If someone spawns by it it is destroyed. Updated OP.

If alt chaos ensues I'm nuking random bases. j/k

I would love to get credit for this idea, but I only said:

I think that spawning to your friend should be a thing somehow. Maybe some marker thing where your friend will spawn but can only be built in the spawn grid?

I swear I was thinking that "marker thing" could have only single use but left it out for some reason. That's kind of pivotal or otherwise you could easily spam as many alts as you wanted with it.

Also I had in mind that it would somehow be cheap material wise but take some time/effort to build, but didn't get any ideas how to implement that.

am i the only one who read it as wilderness bacon? i was like, ok, hmm, wait why?

I read it the same way. In fact I haven't noticed it's "Beacon" until I read your post.

I believe his first concern was with spawning all over the place, then having to walk to meet up for ages.

Ok. That has nothing to do with alts. We just figured that since it takes, what, 20 odd minutes as the crow flies to cross the map, it wouldn't be that big of a deal. Will consider hacking in a temporary charter stone for the purpose. We went with global spawning to distribute players better and avoid a wasted center.

20 minutes to walk 25k tiles? what

Maybe it's a really fast crow.

Wilderness bacon would be a nice new food. Made from smoked and cured boar meat.

Jorb, we need more ways to process meat!

Can wilderness beacon be used for a friend to spawn to? With naming it and all, is it a one use spawning thing?

I imagined it more as a BBQ. I thought to myself - "hmm BBQ to spawn friends at your place. Funny"

How about the previously mentioned quality cap?

Will quality only be indirectly capped by player stats?
Will cows be able to reach q1000?

Can we fix bow combat as well?
Being able to pop maneuvers while firing off your bow is certainly broken currently.
I suggest aiming with a bow causes all defensive maneuvers to drop.
