Crawling technically should allow you to cross portions of ice that would be dangerous standing but I can't recall if that's modeled.

I enclosed both my settlement and the nearest watering hole with trap-fences which has netted me a bunch of animals to bop over the head and butcher. Also Njerpez have outfitted me with what's basically a full set of armor so now I'm engaging them without getting hurt really.

Went hunting yesterday with a bow, a spear and my dog. Saw an elk so I went to that tile and zoomed in. I took a step toward it trying to sneak when my dog barked in alarm and the elk started to run. I was pissed until I saw the bear coming in from the side. It got to the elk and killed it before I could, but then I sent the dog after the bear and when I caught up with them speared it to death. Was able to butcher and skin both and sell most of the meat to nearby towns for arrows, dried trout (don't have my cabin set up for smoking yet and the season is wrong for drying), and a couple other things. The elk fur was really beat up but makes good cord material.

Just persistence hunted a glutton. To be fair it gave me a lot of chances to get a good first attack in because it had become absolutely obsessed with my settlement. After stealing my javelin by bodily taking it (!), he healed up overnight and came back to snoop. Managed to get a lucky arrow shot into its shoulder which was serious and managed to cripple it and let me keep up at a run. I had to stop running first but it only made it so much further before becoming rooted in place. Got a fine skin too which just goes to show trapping is for chumps.

Lost my dog to wolves while trekking to Njerpez lands (which incidentally was way farther east than I thought), had to replace him with a group of 3 dogs. Who proceeded to run down and kill a bear for the cost of one cut on the big one.  edit:  Just one of the cellars I've got going, got stashes in several locations so I don't have to run all the way back/barter for food.

Does armor quality affect protection at all or do I just need an all green armor screen? Can njerpaz fall into/be lured into traps?

I scout out a Njerpez warrior, go back and gear up for a fight, come out and find him again, only to one shot him with an arrow to the neck.

I think human's AI has been tweaked such that they will generally avoid traps unless its a heat of the moment thing. Used to be you built a trap fence to rob foreign traders cause it worked on them just as well as elk.

My latest character had an early showdown with a bear, courtesy of the dead father scenario. First thing the bear does is crush my calf making it bleed and dropping me to the ground with 29% injury penalty. Ok I think, I'm a goner, loving bear killed the whole family. Just for kicks I try and stab him with my spear, and what do you know, I gouge its eye out and it starts bleeding and flees. So I patch my bleeding leg up while the bear runs around aimlessly, then it passes out from exhaustion, i crawl up to him and stab him in the other eye. Bye bye bear. Now I'm crippled, can't even stand up due to apparently not having a calf anymore, lying by a rotting bear carcass without eyes. I can't even skin it, nor can I build a shelter because building requires you to be upright. I wandered around a bit and discovered I'm on a small island, too, so no getting away or foraging. I basically can't do anything with my 29% penalty, I can't even catch fish to stave off hunger. I wait, consuming what little food I have left, and pray for death to come to me. What a shittily awesome start. Guess I'm rerolling

I've never actually survived a situation where I've been grounded to deal with the aftermath. It doesn't throw you a standing bone if you can splint your leg or anything? e. You can butcher laying down. Nurse yourself back to health eating raw bear meat in between fits and starts of sleep afforded by the weather. ee. gently caress raw, you can gather branches from trees while stuck on the ground. Spend your convalescence trying to roast it all 20 twigs at a time. zedprime fucked around with this message at 19:04 on Apr 6, 2016 |

No, it's not a fracture, it's a crush. Basically the bear grabbed my calf and smushed it into a pulp, so I can only dress the wound and wait - wound is filled red, will take at least a month to heal. I'm not sure my food will last enough to be able to stand up, and being on a small island there's no foraging to be done. I'm loving doomed, but I'm going to try to eat this peculiar grass I found. Even if it's poison, oh well, not like I have anything to lose e: I also found deadly poisonous mushrooms. Easy way out, or is it better to starve to death? Choices in this game...

If you got to butchering without passing time too far into the future, you will be in a good spot to try and survive convalescence. Even if its baking in the summer sun, some bear meat will fairly easily get you to abundant before you get into the starvation game. If you give up, that bear didn't kill you, your hide-lust did.

I secretly hoped I'd be able to stand before the bear rotted to skin it, so I did not butcher it. Now I shall crawl into the semi decomposed carcass and quietly pass away. Somebody in the future will find my cradled skeleton inside a bear skeleton and a new legend of werebears shall be born.

It's on the development list for the future: quote:Utilizing the data of the deceased The only "complaint" about this game I have, is that they're just a two-man team and while extremely committed, there's only so much two people can do in a set amount of time.

When you die, the game tells you how many days you lasted The character log [L] gives you some details on what you did each day. There's also the date in the main screen like "4th day of 7th week before midsummer point" Other than that, you just have to count the days yourself.

There are 13 weeks in a quarter. You know when you started. You can do the math to get the weeks, and take it down to days if you really want to account the chaff. Start dates for reference: Spring: day 2, 2 weeks before summer Summer: day 6, 7 weeks before midsummer Autumn: day 5, 11 weeks before winter Winter: day 4, 11 weeks before midwinter

I almost rerolled my latest character after getting robbed on an outing and and being left for dead with a deep cut in my neck and shoulder. I did the cabin in the woods start and lost all my axes, knife, and half my clothes. Couldn't make new clothes thanks to my shoulder cut and only the smaller of the two cabins was completed at the time. I did have a small cache of bandages and some healing herbs on hand though, so I sucked it up and soldiered on. An elk's worth of smoked meat from my half completed trap fence held me over while I nursed my wounds and applied herbs generously. This was just before winter. Winter's almost over now and I have a full set of hand crafted furs and leather, I'm an expert climber and skier, and my stockpile of smoked and dried goods has given me a replacement set of fine and masterwork axes, knives, and shovel, as well as a dog. I'm over 50% hideworking and nearing 50 building, carpentry, and timbercraft. My cabin's finished and a fence surrounds my small domain. I recently trapped a bear in a trap pit and used it to train my sword skill to 50% as well, and got a fine hide to boot. There's a Lynx around and that fucker won't touch any of the bait in my deadfall traps though. We've come a long way baby, can't wait for spring to roll around so I can finally try my hand at agriculture. Game rules. E; It's like the plot for the movie Revenant was lifted from an LP of this game. Double Edit: Would it be possible to track down the guys who robbed me and kill them off to get my stuff back, or do entities like that despawn eventually? It would be pretty awesome to serve a dish of cold vengeance on them now that I have a proper sword and decent armor, not to mention a pretty high sneaking skill.

Nope, its purposefully janky as a compromise that you only have a good eidetic memory instead of a perfect one. Its only a half bad idea because it works to keep track of the big picture with automarkers or custom markers, but still makes you rely on navigation by natural features so as to encourage learning the neighborhood yourself. Which feels kind of cool when you realize you know how to get to your local village by what rivers, hills, and biome changes are along the way.

But it would be cool if your character's familiarity with an area had some effect on the way you view the world. For example, if you've been living in the same forest for over a year, it should be trivial to find your way to your cottage or find the path to the village you've been trading with for many moons. Or even just a button that says "You're unsure/confident/certain your home is to the north." sort of deal.

So, picked this up recently and trying my luck as a hunter. Starting in summer, it seems to my that my pathway should be 1. Make basic base (shelter), 2. Hunt an elk, 3. skin and tan, and butcher the elk and preserve some of the meat for winter, rinse and repeat. But here's the issue, preserving means smoking and that is going to mean building a house which will take weeks if not months, won't it? Is there a different pathway I should be looking at? Also, if you don't start with a proper axe, do you guys stick with a stone axe or try and get a proper one from a village? If trading is the answer, what's a good starting commodity to sell?

Your first goal as a hunter is to build a smokehouse in the place where you're eventually going to be building your home. A 2x1 hut with a fireplace and nothing else is a lot more doable than a full house, and you can live in it if you don't get a house built by winter. First thing you need is a full set of axes. The Finnish word for carpenter is kirvesmies, which means 'axe man'. If you've got a full set of the proper axes, you can get things built much faster and better than if you try to do everything with a handaxe. You want a woodman's axe for cutting down trees, a broad axe for making logs, and a carving axe for making the walls. A splitting axe for making firewood and boards is helpful but not as necessary as the others. So take your dead elks and trade the hides and meat for those axes - you'll probably have to visit a bunch of villages and towns to find them all. Once you've got all those, what you need next is food to build it. Roasted meat in a cellar (build a cellar) can last about a week, so every time you kill an elk keep a week's food from it and eat that first. Trade the rest for preserved foods from villages - most have a few smoked/salted/dried fish available as well as some bread. Then spend a few more days working on your smokehouse before you go hunting again. You should have the smokehouse done within a season at the most, at which point you can start smoking your own food and you've got somewhere you can hole up for the winter even if you don't get a house done in time.

Tehan's got good advice there, but another thing I picked up was to make my first cellar next to the water where I tan my skins. Apparently temperature has some effect on how fast a hide will spoil, so tanning them on/in the cellar increases the buffer before your skins rot. You can always build a new cellar closer to your smokehouse or whatever later on and just keep the original for hides. E; Also, when making boards early on for housing, set aside any fine boards you happen to make and use them later on to make fine skis/paddles/etc. for personal use. The quality of boards have no significance when building homes to my knowledge, so wasting them on building projects is kind of useless.

I set nets and hides to separate tiles because it looks cool. Could have probably figured that companion change was coming with the whole social/quest stuff having priority. But it still sounds like you can pay a lumberjack with less food than you would need to eat yourself to keep nutrition up while cutting down as many trees.

I started a game with the njerpaz slave start and there was a group of friendly robbers attacking the camp right when I started. They ran for a tree line (so I did too) and engaged the njerpaz there. 4 or 5 of the njerpaz died, I stole a scimitar, bow and arrows and engaged two njerpaz. Took an arrow in my stomach and bled out. I got too greedy

How do sages work with injuries? If I visit a sage can I skip on cleaning and dressing them for that day or do I do all 3? I've been doing these runaway slave starts and on the latest I got away pretty cleanly, came back and killed three njerpaz but ended up with injuries totalling 55% penalty, one of which is serious.
