The colours represent the different possible events (red is the salt event, green mercury, etc etc), the chance of each even depends on the purity of the food 38% lead crackers have a 38% chance of the yellow even happening. The first column is the gluttony value for blood, second phlegm, third yellow bile and fourth is black bile. I realise at first it is a bit confusing but you get used to it. Read this


Yes, I understand that. What I'm saying is that color coding system for salt, mercury, etc, is unnecessary if you just label the events instead. THEN you can use a color coding system for the blood, phlegm, yellow and black bile instead, there's less colors to confuse people, and they can understand the game concept in game instead of having to check a wiki. If it's confusing, why not clarify it in game? I mean, don't get me wrong, I did read that. I read that before I ever bothered to post here. I know how the system works, I just think the information could be presented a lot better.

MadMaliceMcCrea, I believe this is the SMALL suggestions thread. If it's a small helpful feature that won't involve much to change, then this is the place. Most of your suggestions should have their own thread. (Secondarily, many have been brought up before.)

This thread is for things like: "Ammo pouch" or "Pickaxes increase quarrying speed".

Yes, please keep this thread to small suggestions that need no real discussion. "Change the humour bar colours" as an example.
If it requires any sort of added input/questions it's better off being in its own thread.

Noted. Also apologies for snarky tone of original post. I kinda felt the need to vent, and this was the first seemingly applicable place to do so in a semi-constructive manner. Will attempt to keep future suggestions, if any, short, (although I have a tenancy to ramble) as well as bothering to do a more comprehensive search of the forums before suggesting anything to see if it's already, y'know. Been suggested. Thanks for taking the time.

Create "Small Announcements" thread and post there informations about small changes in game... I know Devs hate to write info about ninja updates, but today I couldn't copy master key that wasn't signed to my character!!!
It is very important change imho and we don't have any info that it WAS CHANGED, I don't mind if Devs won't write info about HOW IT IS WORKING NOW, but imho they should post info about WHAT WAS CHANGED!

Very unique and interesting suggestions. Thank you. I wish it'll be implemented. Especially with some unique stuff happening on each part of the day.
