The problem with numerals.

So our fine generations of carrot farmers and cactite lovers are none able to speak out numerals. I suggest we should adopt the roman way of numerals as in there is not enough ingame time(you die of hunger if you try to say 10245) to spell out the western option.

If people adopt this policy then it will in time come a new standard and easily readable. Also people get to learn something of our history.

Just for you reminder...

I = 1
II = 2
III = 3
IV = 4
V = 5
VI = 6
VII =7
VIII =8
IX =9
X = 10

L = 50

C = 100

D = 500

Re: The problem with numerals.

needs a modifier, to know what you are tallking about, like #, or n. dunno if possible, great ideea btw

mom needs to feed you 3-4 times if you stand on ideal temperature

you can tell how many boxes you got, 8 is the needed one
sometimes numbers are too long, "i brought twelve seeds" you can say "brought #XII seeds"
" need fourtyfive adobe"

Re: The problem with numerals.

But you can type ! ? and . not sure if anything else non alphabetic

so type .V. for five .X. for ten and so on

I believe if you have XL it is 40? But LX is sixty

Re: The problem with numerals.

I made a post on an alternative solution to "the number problem" as I called it, back in June here: https://onehouronelife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=686 (my first proposal had 'V' as 5, but I changed it after input from some comments to 'L'.)

Pein also had an alternative solution.

Question:

If someone says in game "DIC DIC IRON" is that about the location of an iron vein, or is someone using badly spelled vulgar language?
