Salem V1.1.6 The Crows Are Coming! The Crows Are Coming!

[JohnCarver]

As with most things I implement right away I get over-excited with it and then want to see it everywhere I run. Once they begin bothering me I will probably take their spawn rate down. Although maybe I should make a leaderbord that counts the number of crows a player has chased away .

huzzah

edit: i thought it was 20 seconds to port to homestead/providence before this patch?

now excuse me, I need to lock some houses

Awesome patch Thank you! Looking forward to what's coming next.

Houses can be locked, this mustn't get any more idiotic. Lockpicking is not even in the game dude.

Usually animals spawns when there is someone in the area, or so i think. Does crows works the same?
Basically i would know if i have to avoid to sleep in real in order to fight crows, or if my lonely place is somehow safe from paranoic ways to play Salem.

If this info is too much "into the code", i'm fine with no answers. Somehow... i could find some time to test it out by my own. Maybe.
Oh well. Let me know.

Crows will not spawn if nobody is around indeed. This does come with the unfortunate side effect of town members spawning crows in your fields or a passing neighbor spawning a crow in your fields as well.

Break the house carebear.

Yeah, this is really strange... Only way to get into a locked house is to completely flatten it? Really?

How about when you get a house down to 30% the locks break? Kind of like bashing in the door.

The point being it's not much harder to flatten it but at least you get to keep the house if you take over a base.

nice patch ! thank you, John

Breaking a chest pops the contents of the chest. Breaking a house pops the contents of the house. I don't quite see the difference in the current scope.
