Sprout ,Hunger and the pickaxe

Postby mamesh » Mon Aug 03, 2009 2:27 am

Hi im new to this game (less than a week playing time) ive managed my way to finally have all the skill needed for crafting anything. one thing that give me a litlle hell atm is the lack of tree almost anywhere of course some forest still have some tree but lots are empty now and im not talking about the plain...
So to remedy on my situation ive decided to sow a tree for each tree ive cut near my place... been 4 days now they are sowed and they didnt grew a little...i know i dont get the bonus for sowing in forest land but kmon its rediculously sloooooooow. I dont want tree to be rdy the next day they are sowed but would be fun to see some improvement on the speed they grow.. compared to wheat that grow in 24 hours. ive cut around 60 tree to make my place rdy with only a log cabin and a mine, so there is 200 new player you said that joined during the weekend so 60 trees x 200ppl = 12000 trees that will probably be cut sooner or later..

Another thing ive seen was the speed the hunger bar is goin down...idk if its normal that you have to eat so much food its rly become annoying, What i sugest is a nutrition value to the food you eat and the addition of a new bar bellow your food meter that show your nutritions level, if you eat less nutricious food like apple, grape, and such your nutritions bar goes down and you will become hugry faster, on the other hand if you eat food that give high nutrition value, your will have to eat less often than a guy who eat only apple.I think that will create a market for all the type of food, and ppl will want to trade for em


For the pickaxe now i finally was able to make my own pickaxe after some mining... i was exicited about it so i could get my hand on ore more faster than with the stone axe...i was rly disapointed when ive tryed it the first time..i was able to mine only 12 ore before i run out of stamina (30stam in the lowest you can get)with my stone axe i was able to fill my inventory (with a backpack)at least. Is it normal that a pickaxe drain your stamina so fast ? gee around 6 stam point for a single shot i way too much something should be done about this or maybe there is something i dont know yet ;)

Thx for reading this, for now ill be working on your wiki page that really need to be updated for new ppl if they want to know how this rly good game work :) That the idea i had thx if you have any comment fell free ;)

1) You're supposed to plant firs on forest tiles. They will grow very, very slowly on grassland. That's how it is, man.
2) You're going to complain that your hunger goes down too SLOWLY once you get a good supply of food and you want to work on your stats.
3) The thing is, pick axe and stone axe drain the same stamina per ore. The thing is, you're regenerating stamina even while you mine. The stone axe takes so much longer, you regain 2-3% stamina by the time you finish mining one ore. The pick axe speeds up the mining, speeding up the drain, but the regeneration happens at the same rate, so there's a perceived loss of stamina. The solution is to brew a ton of tea -- tea recovers stamina, and is essential to doing lots of stuff without standing around and waiting for stamina.
