Game Development: Keeping up with the Joneses

[Resture]

niiice update. thanks jobtar

[kimpin0623]

one question, will destroying corpse drop head?

[Jackard]

Sounds like nice fixes.

Being as these fixes are here to actually fix something, I assume the house "drying" time was implemented to prevent the building of houses in front of gates, like some people (mis)used them. So my question is - why include mansions in that "fix"? I mean - you believe someone will take the time to actually build a mansion in order to grief like that? The sheer amount of stuff needed (transportation wise and material wise) doesn't really make it an optimal bug abuse tool and tbh - if someone went to the trouble of building a mansion in front of someone's gate, maybe that gate deserves to be closed

Did the gameworld calendar reset to Day 0 because of this update or is that a bug?

Gotta keep the mechanic uniform. Things are complex enough around here already.

well, possible. Pande & Ainran did place a brick cornerpost to keep their ram to fight Dis vault in the previous world, and they were not supposed to be exactly the group who tried to exploit the feature. When it comes to those hardcore abusers/exploiters who believe "no fixes mean feature", i would not doubt they would do anything available to win.

For the record I don't really want to have shitty building restrictions on otherwise nice things. If Haven had a better object system we would probably have gone for a solution where the houses' soak is initially low instead.
