worms : bug or feature ?

[iotuegli]

I believe the optimal setup is a box with 5 worms going across the middle row, with food in rows along the top and bottom. That way each worm is adjacent to 2 pieces of food and you refill the food every 24 hours, and no wasted space in the container.

you suppose a:
XXXXX
YYYYY
XXXXX

why not a:
XYXXY
XYXXY
XYXXY


where X is food and Y space (5x3 box)

I did this:

To confuse the ***** out of them worms

[Avarice]

I just put all worms and one piece of food, may the best worm win.

yeah I think touching the worm is the gist of it

I'm not surprised that jorbtar requires "touching the worm" as a game mechanic. Those two should be spanked and sent to their rooms without dessert.

even in haven you just through silkmoths in a cubby with some leaves and u were good2go, thats redongculas

I love how this is ends up creating luxury worm-farms.

"At Wiggly Acres, each of our worm fed a strict diet of only the purest of foods. Hand-picked from the compost bin and handled with love and care, our worms are the highest quality in the land.

(p.s. don't tell the Tribe where we live)"

what is the tribe?

people keep finding me but not taking anything so I haven't built walls yet. I think they are more interested in the giant lime pit a few tiles south.

hmm I think I'll put one of my 0% worms with my 2% lillypads when he fixes it. does it change the alchemy too? i noticed some of the worms have red 0s and some have yellow 0s

The "MM Tribe" is a large and powerful faction on the Plymouth server who demand tribute from all they see. Their chief is an eccentric fellow who as part of the Treaty stipulations demands all your earthworms. Someone running a high-purity earthworm farm would be liable to have them "confiscated".

You should at least build a Makeshift Fence to enclose your storage containers to keep them safe from anybody without Waste. Locksmithing will be required to craft a lock and key from stone to prevent Trespassers from opening the gate.

The color of the number shows which alchemical element is dominant, defaulting to Red (salt) when they are tied. An alchemical element can get up to 31 before the the displayed purity shows 1%. Purity% is based on the square of the elements.

Unfortunatly, they're Swedes. Swedes are notorious for not spanking their children. Their country is doomed.

There are other ways of dealing with children - like trying to treat them like human beings and educating them (even though not all of them deserve this kind treatment). FYI, Sweden is not alone with this view. http://nospank.net/europe.htm

As for the worms... I have nothing to add. I'm sure they will be a mild amusement after they are behaving as they should. But for now I'm just not interested in caring about purity when it comes to farming. I can't even keep the chosen alchemical element in check with these bins and lack of purity things to compost.
