A devs generated database with stats for wiki and apps

Postby iamah » Mon Mar 10, 2014 7:01 pm

Basic information is missing and ever requiring devs confirmation for simple stuff like numbers.

Info such as HP and base damage of animals, braziers, skills, object's size, liftable or not, proficiencies points, requirements... stats form every type of object in the world....

Suggestion: devs to create a script that gather all this info from the current server, and assemble it in a file or database, so it's accessible for wiki, apps, etc... when the devs changed the game around they could just run the script and all the stats would be available and updated... this would make wikis much more complete and updated, and would allow creation of apps even...

I don't think the developers OR the players want ALL the data know. This takes the fun out of exploring and testing the game.

Agree for most of things we have in game, but braziers, walls and claims should have full details writen and updated by Devs.

Nope. You can build braziers, walls, and claims and figure out exactly how they work. There is no less exploration in these mechanics than any other.

Except fact you need minimum 40 c&d on one character and second character with 45 f&w, over 2500 silver, few walls, few braziers and over 80 black bile :)
All that makes it impossible to explore by medium players before they will make their first town with lots of structures (invest lots of time) and it is possible that after those tests they will have to make new town with good design?

Education in the harsh world of Salem shouldn't be free to criminals.

True, but should be free for peaceful people.

It is. The Tribe shares knowledge that people seek with Treaty Signers. So it seems like your complaint is that non-peaceful people have limited resources and this should be the way it works.
