What about moskitoes? Can you see them while zooming out?

#2 Re: News » Update: Black Gold » 2018-12-12 09:47:39

I mean, we don't have any running water or even any water source bigger then a pond so that makes some of those things really hard to do.

#3 Re: News » Update: Black Gold » 2018-12-08 11:45:04

Well, it will give us a goal after compost gets going and food gets abundant.

Well done for managing to do it so soon after the update. Damn you working weekends, I can't wait to try the new stuff.

It does seem like an oversight that you can't convert multi-purpose newcomen engine to run on kerosene.

One question - is the process reversible? Can you just take out the wick housing from engine to have it run on charcoal again?

#6 Re: Main Forum » my dontdothisorelse list » 2018-12-07 15:42:20

Generally, taking anything from smithing area.

Breaking the pen in any way.

Stabbable offence - recycling non-broken tools into iron scrap.

If the server had fewer then 50 (?) people playing lineage ban doesn't work.

#9 Re: Main Forum » Having 0 daughters is a major problem » 2018-12-06 12:17:43

I guess you were placed on low-pop server at the off-peak hours so new players joined other servers. It was really common before steam release...

#10 Re: Main Forum » Is the drama gone? » 2018-12-05 18:24:52

I never griefed but in my opinion griefers don't happen very often in early generations. At that moment it is much bigger challenge to keep the town going then to destroy it as they are very fragile at that time.

Personally, I haven't cursed in weeks. I play only one or two lives a day so partly it is that and I have a personal rule that I don't curse based on second-hand testimony. It isn't that there aren't any griefers - last night somebody destroyed a file while we were working on shears, griefed the pen and hid bellows. In the end a cousin was keeping two blank steel blades in a basket she held in the middle of the village while we crafted new file. I didn't use curse as I wasn't 100% sure who did it.

Griefers are still here, they just had to get more sneaky. And I enjoy dispatching them to donkey town.

You can pick them up and they can't jump out for a minute. Then if they want to die they have to use the command which will reset your pregnancy timer.

#12 Re: Main Forum » Mini guide: how to make an axe with one single fire » 2018-12-04 07:55:09

So second fire brand is used to save on kindling for keeping the fire going?

Not sure I could replicate this, maybe after a few tries.

#13 Re: Main Forum » What thing have you never done? » 2018-12-02 07:55:46

I made sauerkraut but I "inherited" tools and crops so I don't count that as doing it myself. Three irons for sauerkrautboard always give me pause since the iron nerf.

I haven't caught a fish or dyed anything and I have played just two lives since the latest update so I haven't done the Newcomen engine but I plan to do it really soon.

#14 Re: Main Forum » Meta about town security » 2018-11-30 18:49:01

What do you need knife for legitimally? Just baking and shepharding? I usually leave my knife to a person who has interest in making bread or who is helping with the sheep pen.

#15 Re: Main Forum » The new eve system » 2018-11-29 21:51:18

I just saw fresh graves which I guess were other Eves big_smile

#16 Re: Main Forum » Special Events » 2018-11-29 10:00:04

Well, we have them unintentionally - ginger apocalypse for example big_smile

#17 Re: Main Forum » Too late, I'm dead. » 2018-11-28 22:13:29

I once tried to give first aid lessons to the new players. I volunteered to be a stabbing victim and... I died before they patched me up.

In a hindsight we should have explained theory first before the actual stabbing and designated who would be the one to patch me up.

So, I died in pursuit of greater knowledge. I will probably use this story next time somebody complains on steam forums how veterans don't teach new players nothing.

#19 Re: Main Forum » List of infinite, zero-input food sources? » 2018-11-26 18:10:55

Well - bananas are really an outlier as they are plentiful and add a bunch of food. They are cactus fruit on steroids - they are more common then cacti and spawn multiples of fruits instead of just one cactus fruit so you really never run out of bananas.

Goose eggs are fine I think as you are using those same ponds for water and relatively soon you are draining them and using them for wells so that food source is eliminated in a generation or two.

#20 Re: Main Forum » Nomadic life » 2018-11-26 16:28:05

Solo, nomadic lifestyle is definetly doable. You can easily get some easy clothes too - seal skin and reed skirt are really easy and useful for easier treks through unhospitable biomes.

The biggest issue with this lifestyle is getting separated on your treks. I would love to try it with carts but they are difficult to accomplish from the scratch as you need several iron tools to make it so it requires settling down at least temporarily. Apart from that, carrying budroots in the basket and eating other wild foods makes it really easy.

I regularly go in the wilderness after I reach menopause to look for iron as by that time I'm sick of homebase and relish a change of scenery.
Reunions with family when you return from your voyages are always interesting.

#21 Re: Main Forum » Ohol got mentioned on Co-optional podcast » 2018-11-26 15:37:57

I have seen people saying art style reminds them of Don't Starve and generally crafting survival gameplay is kinda similar but similarities end there.

#22 Re: Main Forum » controller support? » 2018-11-26 15:32:10

I have a controller and love it but I don't think I would enjoy playing OHOL with it. Nice of you to offer it though.

Unfortunately none of the hosts played it, Jesse talked how it reminded him of some other game which doesn't really sound like Ohol and they commented on how it's looks like janky Don't Starve... Too bad nobody was on the show who actually played it and they got a completely wrong impression...
