global pool is a bad idea and here's why.

It was the same group of people that caused the issue. yes, I realize "Dis" as an entity didn't exist until w6.

No, it wasn't.

This thread needs a bump.
Pools should be removed, no one likes them and I wonder what devs even are trying to achieve with them!

Honestly I'm going to disagree that this system is inconsequential. I remember W5 forage bots, big factions didn't give a crap if you had flotsam or whatever it was meaningless to them because they had cupboards worth sitting around.

Maybe the global pool should become a local pool instead? Have it so each X by X area of the world spawns Y number of forageables per day scaled to world population. At least that way everyone gets a fair share and bots only deplete the area they're in?

I don't really know, I know the current system is lackluster in part because some of the global curios are kinda meh (lookin' at you bolete) when foraged.

I like that idea. It would also boost some hermits a bit, as their rarely visited foraging areas would bring them more curios, as compared to highly contested spots belonging to big villages.

I really thing that something should be done about it. Foraging is very disappointing right now, not only the number of curiosities is low, but there's also nothing to do in winter.

My response from http://www.havenandhearth.com/forum/vie ... 48&t=67685

If I correctly understood how Global Pool works, then my local cave system is devoid of Glimmermoss because someone on the other side of the map is botting their own cave 24/7 and emptying the pool every time it restocks?

Maybe try making local pools so that I have to deplete my cave by myself?

I havent played in a long while, but i believe there are much more animals roaming around. Doesnt that make botting hard? Bots can fight animals too nowadays?

Get cucked noobs that can't code a forage bot, you don't deserve the global pool foregables!!!

Please, this. PLEASE. I'm sure you have those cave areas defined separately or something, since glimmermoss doesn't spawn in tunnels. Give them an individual pool rather than a global pool.

Sorry to be a bringer of bad news, but it indeed does.
