Game Development: Convenient Salve

[Sany_CZ]

It certainly raises the question of what function the hour glass really fills, and why actions are costed the way they are, at least. Not sure I have the answer.

At the very least, it makes actions feel more rewarding. I have noticed while making games that adding a slight delay between the input and the action, with proper feedback after entering the input, makes the action feel much more impressive than if the action takes place immediately, even though you did the exact same thing.

Hourglass is the main difference between good game and farmville. You need to see progress, and it needs time, so result has some value. You can speed it, but just right, otherwise, it will feel empty.

imo the big thing that should have small hour glass are the chore things. e.g. butchering and farming. When you're building something, it feels nice for it to be slow because it seems important. When you're doing something for the 5th time this week, it feels annoying when it's slow.

I acctually agree with this. you collect all those materials to make that mansion and boom you complete it in 10 seconds.

have to be supercareful when building coops now.
or - not have anything nearby that can be taken into the coop

I'm guessing this happened from experience? Haha! Did you make multiple beehives by accident?

Unlocking Hartshorn did precisely jack for me...can anyone tell me what else you need to make the salve?

Yarrow and linseed oil.

How does one get linseed oil?

Press lin/flax seeds.

Press lin/flax seeds.

you can press flax seeds? i've been under the impression it was only linseed, been looking for linseed for a long time

linseed oil = flax seed oil
flaxmeal == linseed meal (as in flower)

im starting to think the subscriber/verified perc of speed increase should only work on crafting things with more than a certain normal time, some of the already quick tasks seem too fast...imo maybe limit the speed increase to only things that normally take more than 5ish seconds?
