Game Development: Pushing Millet

[ricky]

Was the old dugouts really a problem for anyone? One guy didn't like that they were left everywhere, but that was good for me, was nice being able to just walk to the water and get around. Maybe make them very easy to sink or buff other boats instead?

I quite liked the throw-away dugouts as well, but I can imagine it wasn't the idea that you could just quickly craft one anywhere and discard it again whenever traveling over land works out better.

bordered on the realm of absurdity

I think the better answer to dying from an infection is amputation, but that's me. Nobody else seems to want to see gimped hearthlings.

We have some plans for infections, but we're saving those for later.

I'm fine with that... I'll admit I'm one that has been abusing infected sores to heal up everything else. I realize we don't explicitly have antibiotics, but one of the traditional medicines has always been moss bandages of various sorts. It's investigation of these herbal and folk medicines that led to the discovery of antibiotics in the first place.

Give push a cooldown or at the very least a combat cooldown. You can also push other people into deep water if they have swimming enabled. This just makes combat so aids, imagine when clients get autopush functions.

What is the actual problem, though? I mean, you can still attack people "while" being pushed.

A short cooldown would probably be good, say 1/2, 1/4 second? It at least gets rid of a source of input spam.

Otherwise, I'm sure the captains of combat will all figure out how to deal with this quickly (and be the biggest abusers?) and everyone else will be playing catch-up.

Just to be clear, if someone finds a way to bypass visitor or wall jump using push, there won't be any repercussions, right? You added this mechanic with (apparently) very little testing. Someone is going to find an exploit and use it, just wondering what your official stance is going to be.

Unless the satiation change was meant to also further artificially slow down progression of single characters versus hordes of such, why not increase the debuff duration while also decreasing the amount of debuff you get from all foods?

The point is to not force people to log in 24/7, and I can understand that, but the result is that people just progress slower overall.

bruh prod is for trial by fire

It really depends on your expectations.
It was cleary not bad in my region either.
However having a dugout at every side of every river kinda defeated the purpose of rivers as barriers

I'm on and island and there's shallow bridges across every river, so it really just delayed new players and left it open to players claiming shallows to grief.

lol you can just spam push someone to interrupt their movement in the middle of a fight, what the fuck is this shit, turn it the fuck off. Can probably just run a script to push someone the instant they get in range to attack you. This needs a cooldown and to only work on standing still targets.

[Satiations] was not so easy to play with, why nerfed?

The reason was the their fast decay essentially incentivized logging in every hour to stuff your face a little bit more, which felt a bit stupid.

Now log in every 2 hours? This doesn't really fix the issues with the hunger system.

How about you just report any problems you find instead of being salty about things that aren't proven?

I'm not jorb, but... It'll be addressed on a case by case basis. If people simply report any bugs found instead of abusing them, then nobody will have to worry about consequences.

There is no god.

there is, they just don't care about your problems

God is dead. God remains dead. And infected sores have killed him.
