Just a few quality of life suggestions

Post by Gespard »

1. A linen/hemp cloth curio would be nice.

2. Reduce the straw cost on straw dolls. In legacy it was 4, now it is 6. Since the cost of baking was heavily buffed, I find that now I am still mass planting barley for straw dolls, and dropping many of the seeds due to mass amount of flour on hand.

3. This one I'm not too sure about - Faster butchering. I understand it is a balance issue (you need to invest time to feed your char), but what about an item like a skinning knife. This would make butchering faster, but make the recipe such that it is hard to raise its quality. Therefore you create a trade off of speed/time in butchering for the quality of yield. Again, I wasn't really sure about this one, but thought I'd mention it.

I don't hate these suggestions.

Me neither. Might.

While at it: Butchering with scythes, swords and battle axes should have a penalty, in quality and/or amount:
Since they are not really handy to wield you'll 100% fuckup when cutting up an animal with it.

Could potentially even make it so that using a skinning knife actually gives a bonus to meat, like how a metal axe gives more blocks when used.

Before adding more "hurr durr swap more equip items" how about implementing the hand slots in the UI so I don't have this giant equipment screen taking up so much screen space whenever I need to do shit?

Hand quickslots, and "emulated clicks" on them are a great quality of life improvement customs have for sure.

I really liked salems tool belt for this. Could possibly have something similar in haven, since the belt slots are purely cosmetic for now.
