[Outdated] Sevenless' beginner guide to Haven and Hearth

[banok]

Im actually reading this guide more this world as Im hermiting and actually doing everything myself, which is fun as I don't really mind being behind the curve. So I want to basically do minimum amount of farming but still eventually have nice things.

Like if sheep give milk I figure I don't need cows, since I only want a bit of butter. just sheep and horses, because horses. I dont want str feps, and hear pigs aren't that great anyway.

For trees I'm thinking just mulbery for silk and then yews for boughs. all bough trees seem same to me except fir giving only 1 log (also you typo'd larch as a bough tree).

I guess I'll do chickens if they are low maintence. And I guess just the 5 crops listed in this guide.

Taking any advice /criticisms.

Thanks for reminding me, I've been reading the updates but it slipped my mind that the healing update means I needed to edit that detail.

And... I coulda sworn larch were bough trees *scratches head*. My one comment about sheep is that they never give a lot of milk. They only store up to 5L worth, so you'd never have cheese production to phone home about. You could always get a pair of cows, breed them, and then kill off the baby/male just to have a Q10 milking female. Milking cows are low maintenance and I've never heard concrete evidence that they dry up yet.

Edit: Edits made, please keep any mistakes you find rolling in I'm not playing this world, but I'm checking the forums 1-2 times a week.
Edit2: Fixed the mining section to account for the newly HHP damaging cave in mechanics. But it might be referenced elsewhere, if you see one of those slip ups let me know please. I'm deliberately leaving coverage of the global resources out, I expect they're going to get tweaked a fair bit as the world progresses and I'm not playing actively to have a strong understanding of their mechanics.

Never made cheese before in haven but it looks like mostly STR and CHAR so don't really care about it since my main is an archer (str is also pretty easy anyway).

But yeah I might grab one cow if I find I a butter shortage thanks for advice.

Well this world has been alot of fun so far due to small size, but yeah I was originally planning to skip this one also to sort out my real life. oh well, too late now.

All FEPs are covered by cheese. STR and CON are just big ones as that's the best source for big gains when you're trying for 1k+ STR in past worlds.

[Sevenless]

Cheese becomes useful in the 200+ stat range for str/con which is still a noticeable part of the stat cap. Jorbonzola is a super powerful int food though, and that'd be my primary use of cheese if you're having no issues with STR/CON. Namely, you can ignore your int after getting it to 50-70 or so, and still raise it later if you please.

But is cheese required? Nah. Might make a trade good, but your playstyle probably doesn't require a lot of trading.

Haha thats not actually bad advice.

And yet yews look cooler and have more roleplay value for making bows!

apparently you have to re-attach the animal after each taming fight? I won the first fight but next time I log in animal was gone... somehow I thought it was not necessary to re-attach

[MagicManICT]

Yeah, you need to re-hitch the animal after you go a round with it.

[iamah]

do we need to keep the rope in the inventory after hitching?
