Secrets of The Hearth

[Slootboos]

I'm not near any fruit trees, no. But I'm gonna find a chair (I think there's one nearby) for long enough to get enough stamina, but only just barely enough.
Because sitting in a chair makes you way too hungry way too quickly.

And I'm not at full hp, but I'm not down to 2-3.

you arent going to die, just pick the crops and eat them

He can't they're not done yet. He will have to quit playing until they are and he will likely be unable to accomplish anything more than replanting them.

Excuse me, sir, but what part of my previous post did you not understand?
I. can't.

I managed to harvest a single square of carrots with the stamina I recovered in a chair. Excellent, now I have to go burn that off in the chair to harvest some more.
It's a vicious cycle.

I'm a hermit. There's no one I can ask to port food to me.
The goons chopped my fruit trees down a long time ago for no given reason.
I followed them back to the goons' land, so I know it was them. Only now am I mad about this.

I don't really understand your problem. Harvesting a crop only takes 1% stamina. Do you find that this is somehow not the case, or is there anything else limiting you from harvesting multiple crops.

Just for the record, I've just tried on various accounts, with various crops and in various locations, and never did the character refuse to harvest unless I had below 30% stamina (which I could only accomplish by hand-plowing the tiles). Are you really sure that it is the stamina meter that you're looking at when you say that you cannot harvest when you have 56% stamina left?

When I logged in, I had NO stamina and I was very hungry. I had just done a ton of hand-plowing to plant some grass to try to attract some cows (since I was excited that you guys added domestication) before I logged. I was just about to harvest my crops to get something to eat, and I couldn't. Waited til my stam was up, tried to harvest. No deal. Waited a little longer. I did this a couple times until I determined I had to wait until it was up to about 50 before I could touch anything; The first thing I tried to do was plow, because I was trying to do ANYTHING. I was testing to see if it were a bug, since it wasn't logged. So I guess I was at 56 when I tried plowing; It wouldn't let me finish a single square, with 56%. Then I tried harvesting again, couldn't, freaked out, and posted here.

NOTE: when you don't have the stamina to finish doing something (such as plowing) it still eats your stamina up to the point of you becoming "too tired". Even when it isn't accomplished, you've been drained. That's adding insult to injury, right there.

Is this why the servers are currently offline?

No, that was actually a secondary crash afterwards. It took me a long time to notice it, since it wasn't a "crash" in the strictest sense of the term (I've got a signal handler that informs me of crashes), but an infinite loop in trying to wilderness-spawn a new character. Which brings the connection to warrri's post. It seems that the census is going haywire some way or another, and suddenty the whole map is civilized. I don't really think we've got the about 10000 active characters that would be required for that with this size of the map according to my calculations, so it must be that my civilization area-influencing formula is acting up. I'll investigate, but I don't really know how long it will take me.

BEST BUG EVER.


Time to get me some vengeance against them wildlifes, DIE BOARS.

[Slootboos]

Alright, I think I've got a system down. Not gonna die... yet.
It's still a HUUUUGE pain in the ass, though.

My fields are huge. It's gonna be ridiculous to plow, regardless of whether I have a plow or not.

[Chakravanti]

That's adding insult to injury, right there.

Once again, Welcome to H&H! Aren't you just dying for the SHARKS update!?

[Jackard]

lake serpents and water devils... yes
