here's out basic factory setup roof (that we're expanded above): 4 kilns. has a little door to the outside to grab from firewood pile if we need. all 4 kilns drop coal through a hole  linen area: these all drop onto a ramp to my left. can see smelters further back  smelter area. coal falls just in front and to my left. on my right are the 4 smelters and a blast furnace. the coal drops in here, and the outputs are all behind the smelters/furnace  it all drops down to here, metal on the left and linen on the right through a couple chutes. forge right in the center. one annoyance is black metal tends to get stuck on its own ramp but hey, who cares, we don't see it, and there's always more being brought to us via fulings at night if we make enough noise edit 2 more  garbage chute. probably don't need horizontal braces but like the looks  exit from castle to farm, stairs down to it and path up to windmills mastershakeman fucked around with this message at 18:17 on Mar 14, 2021 |

mastershakeman posted:poison mead is a bitch to always have at the ready ??? No, it's really not. It takes very basic ingredients and one batch brews a full hour's worth of doses. It's trivial to have on hand anytime you venture into the swamp.

genericnick posted:Yeah, it's mostly poison. The Draugr aren't that fast and the bow dudes can be easily dodged by slowly walking sideways. not if you're right in front of them. i've had draugr archers track me 100% at close range and if you don't dodge or block you're hosed like im circling an archer and he's facing a direct angle away and i still get hit my an arrow

I've taken to calling the 1-star guys Kobe Beef Goblins because Jesus loving Christ. I haven't seen any 2-stars yet, I can't imagine how bad they are.  The plains in general are a bit of a smorgasbord for those kinds of moments. The first time I sailed up that way I thought "oh hey this place looks nice! I should take a closer look!", and then I got 1-shot by a mosquito before I even made it to shore.

Are Queen's Jam and Carrot Soup the best foods I can make from just Meadows/Black Forest biomes? I have to travel to other islands to get to the Swamp but I wanna make sure I've done everything I can here. I have some minor meads as well.

I think so? The second you step into the swamp you can start making sausage and it's a huge upgrade.

The jam is equal to cooked meat, just has a different health/stamina ratio. So meat + jam + carrot soup is pretty much the top combo of meadows/forest tier food.

And that one fish I grabbed out of mid-air because a storm surge wave left it there  I feel like Cooked Meat should be able to be added to other foods to make higher tier food, I have so much extra Cooked Meat because I'm winning the War on Deer.

I have a critical thistle shortage, between sausages and meads. We’re going to hit bonemass in the next day or two, so maybe that’ll reduce the need once we’re out of the swamp? Maybe?

you will always crave the sausage plus you'll need the thistles for the next biome as well

Sausage should only require 2 or even 1 thistle per. Having it at 4 doesn't make sense and causes it to get used up way too fast.

Thistle is also in the swamp. While in the swamp keep an eye out for turnip seeds - that's also a huge upgrade, and easy to make. They're easy to miss, you might think they're carrots. Best way through the swamp, in my opinion, is raw speed and parkour. If you're fast enough most mobs can't track you, they're all very slow, and you lose them quickly. Keep in mind that poison resist does nothing if you drink it after getting poisoned, it has to be in effect in advance. Tip for crypts: build a campfire just inside the entrance. If you do get poisoned you can run back to it and enjoy the rested healing buff which will allow you to survive the damage ticks. Helps with killing stuff near the entrance too. Once your hitpoints are high enough and you've got some good iron gear you can skip the poison resist if you're feeling daring, but it's always helpful.

you can get swampthistles as well but it's way more of a faff to scour a swamp than it is a black forest i tend to forage thistle/raspberries/meat as one "time to do some maintenance" trip by wandering meadows/forests

I've always found tasty mead way more useful than stamina potions, due to the lack of cooldown.

Two things make the swamps much easier. 1) use your hoe to level the ground, bringing it up out of the water. 2) cut down every tree that isn’t indestructible. Seriously, just lay waste to the swamp. Build highways all over the place. It feels good, especially after getting draugr-blob tag teamed.

If you end up there in the night and stack the Cold effect on top, it's a pain to fight anything even when well equipped.

Is there anything special I should do to protect my boats? I made the one that's a step up from the raft, but will it be ok if I just leave it by the shore? It won't float away or anything? I see some people have made entire docks, but is that more for rp purposes?

The only dangers are high waves then dropping it low against the ground, if it's shallow water, and random enemies smacking it. Docks are handy if you otherwise couldn't access the boat storage from the land, imo

The worst part about the swamp are the area with a few big rocks and 3-4 skeleton/draugr spawners. Specifically, because multiple times now I've had an archer spawn inside one of the rocks, which are unbreakable, allowing it to shoot out at me and me unable to damage it. I've died several times to "invisible" archers before I figured out what was going on.

Azhais posted:Black forest at night is how you get thistle. Love that glow Thistle always respawn in the same spot! I took the advice earlier in the thread and started marking locations. I have one Forest area that has its initial objectives marked (dungeons, copper, etc) and a separate biome that’s just thistle and mushrooms marked in a loop. This lets me travel there and just run around guided by minimap dots and walk away with a full stack of each, which is super helpful for my pre-plains cooking menu.
