Game Development: Under Pressure

[lachlaan]

A lot of people have had worms surrounded by herbs and herbs surrounded by worms for more than 12 hours and have reported no change in the boxes. Does the general area the containers are in need to be "active" due to a player being nearby? Sort of like how animals decay a lot slower in houses when nobody is in the house?

Some bug, then. Investigating.

Worms only eat from inventory squares immediately next to them. They eat every 12 RL hours.

If this means what it says, no boxes, baskets, chests, etc, only your inventory?
Every 12 hours.
April fools was 12 days ago.
Here's a game, hope we're extremely vague with new patches and explaining how things work and you don't enjoy it.

Nor have mine, I have 1 next to a lavender blewit and some milkweed roots, another next to some wild garlic and crowberry stalk and a third next to a lobster mushroom, they have been there for 24hrs now.

Cheers for checking on the issue. Also, while you're around and answering some questions, does the time a worm spends next to food reset when it's moved? If so, is it just when it's moved onto a tile without herbs adjacent, or just when it's picked up?

Myeah, I'm calling that a bug.

Oh oh, how about the negative signed int purity stuff people have been making? Could that perhaps get nukefixed along with the worms?

Of course not, fool of a Took. Any inventory will do.

I believe it already should be.
