Nubfood Tweaks *Salem V.1.0.1*

Greetings Salemites,
The good news is that we went over 72 hours through our launch without a single crash AND if you can tell from the Server Status it looks like plenty of people found out about our launch. Overall we are very excited with the general status of things and do hope a lot of the new players giving us a try choose to stick around and enjoy our little community here.

Now that the 'major' updates were largely done through beta we are going to be taking this opportunity to flesh out and tweak systems further. Probably the largest change will be trying to give more identity to both the food groups, AND the recipes. Right now they are largely the same and the incentive to make different food groups just doesn't feel appropriate as well as the 'niche' people get in where they simply find one recipe and stick to it. For our first balance change we have decided to nerf the early game "Roasted" recipes. Going a step further we then lowered the recipe costs on almost ALL recipes so they are less frustrating to compile together as well as attempted to give each food group one food that gives a VERY generous amount of biles but wipes that food group out for the session, as well as one food group that is quite spammable but less effective per use. We also increased the power of the early game snack foods.


Food Balance
*Berry Salad has been buffed
*Trailmix has been buffed
*Three Virginians has been buffed
*Berrystraw now requires 4 berries, up from 2.
*Virginian Shellroast has been buffed
*Sizzled Grubs has been nerfed
*Sizzled SLugs has been nerfed
*Roasted Pine Nut hase been nerfed
*Roasted Hickory Nuts have been nerfed
*roasted Chest nuts have been nefed
*Froghetti have been buffed.
*Garlic Rabbit has been buffed.
*Autumn Delight has been buffed.
*shrooms on a stick has been buffed
*garlic stuffed mushrooms have been buffed.
*Fix'd a bug causing tenderboiled terrine to not inherit the values from its other foods.

Tutorial Tweaking
*The First tutorial pop-up now tells players that the middle mouse button can be used to rotate their camera.
*The boat @ the docks in tutorial land decided to move so one can better see the emissary.

Balance
*Attempting a Killing blow will now add a significant amount of insanity. This means interrupting a player who is doing one will cause him to have to start the blow over while still going insane from trying the first time.
*Berrymash Laxatives now take off shroom poisoning at much faster rate.
*Rate to find Huckleberry has been increased.
*Rate to find Singing old log has been decreased.
*Players now have a better chance to see oysters once learning the skill seafoodchef.
*Candles can no longer be bought from the vendors.
*Pilgrims bibles have been significantly increased in cost.
*The Full & Fed up timer on Roasted crab meat has been reduced.
*Chopping wood heaps (woodpiles on the ground) now causes phlegm drain.
*the drain from carrying things has been reduced.
*the rarity of thornbush flowers has been reduced.
*Tearing open a prickly pear cactus now makes a sound.


Bugfixes
*Fixed an error that was causing SOME of the counting errors on stock bins but not all.
*Fixed a bug that was causing Tobacco Pipe to crash the client the first time a player loaded it.
*The sound effect on Pilgrims Bibles has been lowered.
*Rotten logs now look like Rotten logs when dropped on the ground.
*Roasted crab meat no longer weighs more than regular crab meat.
*When praying to the statue of family players will now get a system message letting you know what your cumlative % inheritance bonus will be from that statue.
*Fixed a typo in "Survival Skills" in the tutorial.

Also, we identified an issue that has been causing some abnormal lag on the servers. Providence may need to come down again in the next hour for further diagnosis and may have abnormal lag after this restart while we run some diagnostics on it. Popham should be largely unaffected.

*garlic stuffed mushrooms have been buffed..

OH HECK YES!

Though, what about the tenderboiled terrines they are currently bugged? We were told this would be fixed in the update after expeditions were launched? Testing today shown they are still very bugged.

Intended that pilgrims do not chop trees in darkness. Get a witch, or build a church.
