10*10*10*10*100 != 1

Post by CMDR_Salient »

I have over 10 times the Strength I did as a noob.
I have over 10 times the Agility I did as a noob.
I have over 10 times the Constitution I did as a noob.
I have over 10 times the Dexterity I did as a noob.
I have over 100 times the Survival I did as a noob.

I should be able to cut down trees quicker, and start fires more easily.
Why? Because 1,000,000 != 1

no

I can agree with firebrands.
But tree cutting should be hard and time/Resource consuming task. Or if not .. then we dont have trees left soon.

So basically, trees are harder than L5 walls now?
Dang, we should have wooden armor that completely outclasses metal ones then.
W3 to W6 - Blockland. Special mentions: New Avalon, Tarn of Hotdog, Red October.
W7 - Elvenia, til we all got lazy.
W8 - Cult of R'lyeh, til the deeps called us back.
W9 - Tartarus, til death/wizards came for the land itself.
W10 - ???, ruined and forgotten.

You dont want to chop trees in 10 seconds, that would ruin everything -,-

Please let's not go the Salem way and have time for all actions be determined by stats, and then have it balanced around high stats so the game is practically unplayable with a new character.

I have played Salem and this is a good point. For example, you want to terraform your base to flat as freshly created character? You'll need to eat every minute since your phlegm (stamina) reserve is so small.

Strength should affect tree cutting but it should be capped to something like twice the speed of 10 STR at 100 STR. After that, no more difference. In any case, chopping down tree at 10 STR shouldn't be made any harder.

I'd rather have strenght/const reduce the stamina drain when chopping trees. Right now it's way more exhausting for my character than mining.
After all, it's already implemented when swimming, so why not when falling trees?

I like this idea.
“We still, alas, cannot forestall it-
This dreadful ailment's heavy toll;
The spleen is what the English call it,
We call it simply, Russian soul.”
