I tried really really hard to think of reasons why I shouldn't give you this nice thing. In the end I couldn't think of any. So yes this will be the case in the next patch.


Careful, this may be one of those things from that awful Leprachan movie where he grants your wish but somehow makes it back fire and make your life worse in the end.

Excellent point. Maybe I shouldn't change this afterall. ¦]

I know, this is not a single player game, and the deadliest threats to your characters life here are other players (and your mistakes that might invite them to do something).

Yet, I feel just "playing" salem is a bit too easy,though a bit too much grind maybe.
I mean, if you don*t happen to run into a hostile player, which is not that likely by just sitting in the wilderness, there is not much that can hurt you, or that provides a challenge.

The elements and the wildlife (and plants) could be much more deadly.

And there could be someting like effects of weather, seasons and biomes, there could be snow, and rain, hot desserts demanding hydration, cold places demand warm cloth and a fire...
I don*t think of effects that just slow you down, but that provide a challenge, and maybe a reward for taking that challenge.

It should feel like an accomplishment to just survive for the first few days, or to explore or just move through some rougher territories, adapting to the elements and using them to your advantage...

Anyway, just an idea, has something likee that been brought up yet?

I like that idea, and that is the exact reason why under our watch we have gotten injuries, diseases, and perma-killing monsters. I agree its not enough though.

In compost bin: Dead Wild Turkey gives 5 points whilst a Plucked Wild Turkey gives 8.0 (7.0 + 0.5 per feather)

Should this not be the other way around logically thinking?

Perhaps, although I'm of the mindset that not only are you rewarded for 'breaking down' your materials before composting them, but that there might be a logical foundation that things 'compost' better based on the exposure to air which would of course be higher if you were ripping it to shreds or otherwise breaking it up before throwing it in the bin.

I dont know if the idea came up before but..

How about being able to plant a lawn (just like you pave with stone/brick) to make things look a bit nicer? Its actually fun to design a nice looking place with some trees and paving, and adding a nice lawn to areas would be nice instead of the grey paving.

I think it would be fun if the judge at the stocks would make an Area Chat announcement declaring the release of said criminal and who paid for that release.
