Game Development: Theatrum Chemicum

[ysbryd]

Uh, okay, will get back to you next wednesday, by which time I MIGHT start understanding all this
Seriously tho, thanks Jorbtar, for all your hard work slaving over a hot thingy alembic and bringing us weekly updates PRAS

Allow cuttings to grow back regularly

Jorb, you have forgotten to metion the metal chest, removed from Boston, which is another cheating backstab from the developers. An noone seems to be willing to return it's contens.

You are welcome. We had Jorb nuked it and then we all did the Safety Dance to rejoice.

That was, for instance, our reason for lowering wall HP and soak -- that is, because we assume people will generally reach lower humour values than the previous (broken) ones which may only have been possible with 100% pure (broken) crops to back them.

What about people that still have 300-400 biles? I hope you killed that characters

You know what it takes to gluttony a village of fighters? Set aside some time and cook thousands of pumpkin pies, make hundreds and hundreds of cabbage crumbs. hundreds and hundreds of cabbage cakes. Storage of 1,500+ just for gluttony.

So now people won't create few alts per player so easily, that is change in good direction.

These time based alchemy tables won't do ****.

We lost the ability to MASS PRODUCE crops and mass cook food.

Mass production wasn't fun, another change in good direction.

Fields and humus is the ISSUE and this alchemy / pressure cooker **** is not a solution not even close. How the hell are people going to penetrate 500 brazier hearth vaults when they have to sit there with stupid alchemy tables waiting on values to change and micromanage all compost bins and worms to get 10% of the results of the past?

Farmers doesn't go to war, they are too busy for that

i am also (still) curious why 88% seeds and 88% humus produces 69% garbage, seems that something is broken or there is now a hardcap.

Yea got same issue, but I think that fields may have now some low purity and maybe in time they are going to level up.

So lots of new things to build in my pilgrims hovel/alchemy lab. What I need now is some weird lighting to go in there, some cobwebs and herbs to hang from the ceiling and some bats oooh oooh and a soundtrack of things bubbling in cauldrons... and and... a witches hat that makes everything I do in there work better... and and... more coffee so I can get my head round how all this works before I manage to blow myself and my base to kingdom come

Wtf character with 50 phlegm destroyed 10% of stone wall and phlegm dropped to 40 I hope this wall nerf is bad joke.

Has anyone gotten the test tubes to work yet? My baseline items sat in there for over 2 hours and nothing happened. I thought maybe the server reset caused them not to be recognized, so I took them out and put them back in. It's been an hour and a half now and still nothing has happened.

I also wonder about cuttings. I took cuttings of some trees 3 weeks and 3 days ago and they haven't grown back yet. I thought they were supposed to come back every 2 weeks?

Less skill grinding! <3

Interesting stuff.

Too bad I raised my proficienicies by the dozens a few day s ago.

(IMO walls didn't need to be downgraded though).
