Techs and Tips

Postby Gauteamus » Tue Jan 26, 2010 12:03 am

This is the altrustic thread where you can do the opposite of secretly abusing bugs, namely sharing small tips and tricks with your fellow hearthlings.

1.) For all of you whining about fence gates

Code: Select all
XXXXXX
X    X
X    X
X   w
XXXX

Key:
x = unbuilt fire, fence or w/e
w = built wicker basket


A hearthling may pass between the basket and the construction sites, but animals cant path through the gap.

It's not a bug. Possibly a design flaw or oversight, but you can steal and carry a hearth into a cave to make cave mines more reasonable to use.

This.

I'll also note, after some experience with doing this, that you will sometimes spawn on top of the other player (like the door bug). There is a spot on the east corner of the north side that the carrier and hug up against on the mine hole. Do this right and test it and you will find the sweet spot the prevents this so you can carry cupboards and shit inside.

Seeing as leaving theft scents is undesirable and you may wish to build a cabin over them if you're using a remotely important toon; you will want to haul a bunch of cupboards in, mine up a shitton and port the ore out all at once.

Indeed the effort required to pulll of this 'exploit' still keeps it only worth doing if it's gold or silver.
