Game Development: Garden Bell

[jorb]

[*] Building a Realm Authority Object now costs authority. The cost increases over the 40 first Realm Authority Objects you build, up to a maximum of 15k authority per object.

This just encourages more tendrils when building realms. It is kind of pointless wasting authority on cairns when they are not going to be able to pay themselves back.
In that regard, it sort of seems like a bad direction to go into. I thought you guys wanted to encourage more complete expansion of areas.

That could be a legit point. Will consider that.

jeeez.. people, You really can't be satisfied? Everything is wrong in opinion of most of You.. shame!

this change may have just fucked up knarrs and we haven't even gotten a clear explanation as to how. Also server down so what else are we gonna do lol, ur in here bitching too

I love garden pot change. Makes my life much better. <3

[CSPAN]

Nice update +1

[lwdragon]

Can people attack from other craft (snek, rowboat, dugout, raft or knarr)?

Yes.

And you don't see this as a problem?

Not really. If you have a ship, you usually wouldn't have a problem getting away from them.

There is one thing forgotten here: when people jump out from knarr they can block and bash rawboats, dugouts. Attacking and bashing something while swimming in deep water should be not possible.

I am not wed to the Ship changes, but, again, you can still fire ranged weapons at ships.

maybe you're right, it's on the players now to test out the change and figure out what works and what doesn't. i can think of dozens of times the devs have had to make changes on the fly to fix something that sweaty nerds have broken and used for exploits, and i'm sure there will be some new 'boat meta' from this change. people will just have to explore it and keep posting their findings

[Necrisha]

Maybe use a sort of minesweeper like mechanic in defining realm expansion cost, where cost is decreased if there are more connected borders around the realm Authority object being built? Ie: initial cost high, but if filling in space between 2 there's a 25%/50% authority decrease? I'm just spitballing here and people with actual experience in expanding realms would know more but...

Discounted cost of attacking and cutting off tendrils/ causing tendrils to cascade fall would probably be the most effective way to counter the effect actually.

oh no people might have to use weapons other than b12s in some situations now????? literally unplayable?????? i just botted all this steel to give all 48 of my backup combat characters b12s and they arent even good because now i cant bot metal spiraling??????? literally unplayable plz reverse

okay, I won't let you do this idiotic "fix" behind the scenes of retarded shubla's action!
NOONE asked you to change the pots - remove this change. Stop trying to make gardeners' life even more painful. go on and make this fucking credo by yourself - maybe then you'll realize these ppl suffered enough.
REVERT THE G-POTS capacity!!!

For noobs (and devs, obviously) -every time you replant herbs in pots you use better mulch from fertilizers. and no one will be happy to accidentally put 5th current mulch and ruin the whole 3 cycles. this is not QoL-change. it's just another pain-in-the ass change from "we don't play our game" devs. stop it. please

I heavily disagree on this one.
Some faster growing plants will need less work since you can just wait for the 3 cycles easily.

Better mulch will only yield a very very marginal gain. 1/20 q from mulch will go to the end product, so if you use 40q higher mulch you will only gain 2q on your spice/herb.. Barely anything, especially for cooking ingredients that will again be averaged with water, flour, oven whatever you will use.
