I did not played it long, haha.

I have played similar games that had a strong RPG feel, and this one feels somewhat ... Capitalist?, is kind of a lot of the game kinda oriented to generate money. Cut a tree, get some coins.

Also, playing Zelda TOK at the moment.

Does Ironwood not have any sort of AFK check? You can just endlessly mine for fish?

No and yes. The only thing you can't idle forever is combat which stops if you run out of hp or a craft that uses consumable resources (obviously). Combat hp can be countered with food which is automatically eaten when you fall under 50% hp.

You'll run out of bait eventually, but yeah. It keeps going while you close the tab.

Yeah, I’m just asking in comparison to something like Amaranthine, which has a 30 min AFK timer where if you don’t click on the pop up you just stop all your actions. Figured idle checks were a stalwart of the genre.

I thought rampant idling was the whole point. I’ve never played one that had an explicit idle check like that.

And yet most that try to be more an MMO in a browser and not an idle game with community properties. When you try to be more an MMO the trap feels required.

Yeah I thought the whole idea with amaranthine was there was like an economy and trading and orders and stuff so they didn't want bots messing with it

I'm chugging along in Ironwood, got mostly perfect iron gear, feel like I have a grasp on balancing the skills so they all go up generally at once. The thing I'm not clear on is what I'm supposed to be doing to actually make money -- combat feels like it does not reward much gold at all and selling equipment also seems pretty paltry, given the costs of leveling everything and being able to build stuff in my house.

Any tips? I'm around 10-20 in most skills but 20-30 in the main gathering ones.

I made a couple hundred thousand grinding out the last levels to push into 25+ smithing off chestplates so money seems to go up pretty heavily as you progress. For combat in the 25-40range it's not unusual to come back to 50-100k+ from letting it run for the afternoon which is enough to help with the house upgrades.

In the guild now it seems more of balancing selling extra resources for cash and saving for guild quests.

Followup question about those: those activities mention a monster could show up. I've idled only to come back stopped trying to do the woodcutting one. Is it a fight and if so does it not use food to heal?

Yes to both. I had a perfect silver weapon and ~lv30 combat + defense before being able to kill them consistently.

So i need to re-review suggestions for silly skills you guys gave some time.back, but i'm starting in on adding some, so far there is Car Violence and planning Bees or something like that .

Also might experiment with unity's physics and try for a Pinball skill? No promises on that one tho.

this joke works best if you make it only need 1 point and make the first 2 always fail and the 3rd one always gets a single point in a really stupid spot then falls in the drain then the game pushes you and wont let you continue until you unlock the flippers. Just a joke tutorial with no leading text completely intuitive, hopefully.

Ball launch speed is dependent on your CPU clock speed and doesn't actually get out of the chute until you purchase the 486 upgrade

Physics isn't enabled until you get the Pentium, the ball just has 4 preset paths it can follow

I hope bees is literally just called "Bees" and it also includes things like the letter of the alphabet and puns like making a bee-line, or to bee or not to bee and poo poo like that.

It should include a reference to dogs with bees in their mouths and when they bark, they shoot bees at you
