Speaking of exp*per - I really liked it in HnH that, as you kept increasing those stats, you kept uncovering new foragables. Now that most high level foragables became fate items I feel there is little gain from rising those stats. I would welcome some new, non-fate, high level foragables.

I've been arguing the whole time the biggest issue is lack of variety and "quality, as in good to find" forageables. Fate system is fine but we need that variety back.

Really hope the next update or two fills that in :)

I agree with more variety in foragables, but not with more powerful foragables. I think their "power-level" is just fine as-is. I don't want flotsam-farming to make a comeback.

Has anyone ever chopped down a tree in real life? It is very taxing. I think chopping down trees is fine where it is.

Realism is often a weak argument for game design, just saying.

As to the forageable comment: Agreed. Or perhaps make add a couple new beginner things that are 100% visible? The world feels really empty as a starting player and that's not exactly fun.
As usual, you nail it. :P

I think you'll be seeing a larger variety of foragable curios......
