... as the about page says?

Run an empire. Wear golden rings, a silver monocle and silk clothing. Be completely unable to swat away midges on your island in the middle of the ocean.

Seems legit

Okay.


I'd argue realism is a poor angle for midges when you consider how we're turning to genetic engineering to try and get rid of mosquitos. Nothing I've ever tried in real life has made them care to leave me alone, we've got nasty ones in my neck of the woods.

It was suggested by the stream chat and written down by the devs likely over 2 years ago no that they should/could be caught with a net, similar to animal crossing or zelda's spinning sword attack. It just hasn't been added because reasons

I don't care about eliminating all midges from the map. I care about removing the 1 cluster of midges on my island that keeps me indoors for 20 minutes until they despawn

I have noticed that this world appears to be severely lacking in regular grassland biome for some reason which makes it incredibly difficult to find yarrow since you need a large amount of per*exp in order to see yarrow on any other grass/plains biome.

Splint requires rough polish which requires wax. Kelp cream requires wax. Why am I forced in to wasting my much needed wax on motherfucking wounds?


Yarrow being rare or hard to find hasn't been the case for me, but if it is for you then maybe that should be your feedback? You really only need one to have an infinite supply though.

I guess it's up to you weather wax or mine supports are worth more. Also, I've no idea why you're wasting wax on kelp cream. Everything it heals can be healed easier.
