Game Development: Apocalypse

[sabinati]

look, some ppl are getting lucky, spawning near high q clay, finding large concentrations of magic weed. a lot of ppl aren't so lucky. we have 1 clay spot, and quess what, it was q10! 1 fucking clay! im not saying go right back to the old features and toss the new ones in the garabage, im saying make them less harsh. Make clay spots more common, get more resources off of trees before they are depleted, and have resources respawn faster. and of course make hunger slower! why is this still a fucking problem? i say every RL hour should result in the loss of 10% of your Hunger bar. this way, it is more realistic, and less of a threat early on, and almost non-existent in well-maintained groups.

did you just settle where you spawned without exploring for a bit first? have you considered moving?

[sabinati]

Get less anal about your stats and you'll be fine, it'll matter far less as time goes on

The point is that I don't want to have 100 Con before I have things set up enough to start raising another, you know. Useful stat, like perception or strength or something. Then the only problem with having the 100 con is that it makes raising another stat all that much harder.

have you heard of this thing called fishing?

[Jest]

Shit i spawned at a shitty spot and I founded a pretty shitty spot resource wise but god damn it's probably one of the best port locations I've ever found in Haven. It's a really long cape that leads into a lake along the side of a river and at the end it gets really wide for good building space. it even has a piece of shallow area connecting it to the shores on the other side which is nothing but sandy beaches.

Also am I missing something or can you not build cabins and houses on forest tile? No matter where I try to lay down my cabin it just says you cannot build that there.

[Peter]

You need a 5x5 area of paved stone for the smallest cabin.

Yeah I just remembered and am currently facepalming.

We fully plan to rebalance hunger values and the hunger drain, and the FEP values of food so that you'd need to eat a lot less, but to do so right now would probably clog up the economy of the game (since food would be ridiculously abundant), and that part is harder to fix. I might consider adding a "Feed" option until then, but it just gives me weird images inside my head. (*Imagines a Hearthling wrapped around a tree, leeching sap out of it*)

Do eeet. If not now, after a complete char and map reset, then when?

[lithos]

Took boat around 1/4 of my lake. 3 rabbits in 10 mins or so. Eat rabbits 10 mins.

Explored hearthland(purple fields or whatever) inventory full of chicken 20 mins or so.

Travel back with 1 or 2 Wild Windblown Weeds.

Another thing you might want to do is avoid stamina draining stuff. I can go almost 40 mins till I start to worry on full stamina, can hardly go 10 without any stamina.

[g1real]

Poastingtoasting to post that the clay change is RIDICULOUS.
I can't even get more then 1 clay in a 50 tile radius.

[killfast37]

Fix the hunger system. I shouldn't have to eat ten chickens to get out of very hungry. The other changes don't seem to bother me, the clay system could use a little reworking though.

[DrSun]

bear for breakfast, bear for lunch, bear for dinner.
just a normal day for a normal man. look around. in russia everybody eat like that. go outside, kill some bears, eat it in one face and that's ok.

shame on you, devs
