Game Development: As Above, so Below

Let me just get this straight. In order to get high purity... anything.. You need high purity, of all 4 types, ore, lime, autumn grass, and water... all of which are randomized in location?

How is this a good thing? High level folks will just grab the high purity spots and hold them for themselves... right?

Yeah, I guess it is pretty much HnH at this point, isn't it. Ugh.

Best quality lime/granite anyone has found so far??

7% salt granite, willing to part with it for 1000s.

Granite is scattered all over. No node mechanics on that I assume?

Perhaps on newly spawned boulders...

Will fires/stoves be affected by this new system? Will the qual of stove decide the qual of the fire itself and then affect the qual of food??

currently, it apparently doesn't (see baking cabbage crumbs). It's a fair bet they will eventually, though

1. Nice post there Mereni. I think you hit on everything we had discussed via PM and has been (wrongfully) stated so far about this update.

2. Walls DO decay when not on a claim. It's slow, but if it damage ripples like it did in HnH, when one section does decay, it'll take a HUGE chunk of the wall along with it because all the sections are already at low HPs. (If they're not decaying, we might want to see if that's a bug or intended behavior.)

3. I really hope the kilns, ovens, and smelters (and other tools) aren't factored into the equation without some way of raising purity other than the destroy/rebuild cycle. That was just hellish in HnH. It wasn't so bad if you didn't mind moderate quality and were willing to trade for high quality goods with established villages, but if you wanted to grind up to the top yourself or for your village, it was just plain painful. I also hope we get a way to properly label our tools so we don't need a metric f*-ton of signs.
