REVISION 30F UP

Oh no, had started a game just before the new version was out.

Will report back as soon as it crashes! Might be long, it`s getting pretty stable... (which is good!)

 

For those who are wondering, the soldier rally button is now in the work crew dialog, and can be set by crews. Great improvement!

Now if we could only be able to drag it after setting it *wink, wink*

 

Keep up the good work guys. Will have a quick peak. Will check it out more in depth later on. Build 31 will defo be significant for all those who haven't even tested the previous sub builds

 

I am going to take a wild guess here and say he means that if once we have placed the point. Instead of having to set it up again or remove and then place again, we could simply drag it and place to a new area of our choosing.

In instances where the fishpeople decide to go away from our rally and we have to re-deploy our positions Or is our Officers misjudge where to send our men etc etc

I think it would be cool to have that in place if that is ofc assuming what he meant :S

 

Dragging it (maybe coz I'm lazy) would save me the opening work crew, scrolling to or selecting military squads only, figuring out which squad's way point it is (if there is many), and then clicking the rally button.

I think an easier way to implement that idea would be to have a "move rally point" option in the context menu of the point itself, which would achieve the same shortcut.

And being able to select a rally point with a drag box would also make it easier, especially when it's inadvertently set among objects like trees and such.

I should really have put that in the design suggestion thread but I just had this idea .

Now on I'm my way to upload a game freeze that might have something to do with workers getting into a loop...

Keep up the good work Gaslamp!

Practically answered at the exact same time haha. How did you know I was here and likewise to myself

 

It's looking pretty cool so far. The only thing I'm slightly confused by is that beetles drop raw steak.

 

The Jungle biome is cool looking but very difficult. Making two of the four available crops produce nothing worth eating seems pretty harsh at this point.

 

I do however like how fungus is amazingly abundant, meaning you can get pickling like a boss. Curry however since it needs two ingredients needs to be a much more filling foodstuff.

 

Isn't the map full of fungus and fowls? Can't imagine running out of food (or wood for that matter) in that biome. Why would it be harsh if we are not forced to choose those crops you are talking about?

 

The fungus seems to come back very slowly. I know now not to bother with any crops but Maize & Chilies, but didn't the first time around. This is just from one play through into day 15, so perhaps it will be easier with more experience.

 

Maize has no real purpose yet, Sugarcane however can be turned into Rum, Molasses, and other useful stuff.

 

Oh, and the threshold for fishperson raiders was reduced from 4 points of fishanger (over 20) for each additional raider (over the standard 3) to 1 point per extra raider in the new biome. On day 14 I got hit, and although I accidentally right-clicked and didn't see the exact total, this is what it looked like.



There were some more raiders to the South, as well.

Those two death notices in the event window were all but instant - the raiders appeared around those two colonists and killed them in moments. I think you can just make out their remains.

 

No crash so far, but I did get a "CorruptCrop" error message. And I have some kind of ghost carpentry shop. That is, I scheduled the construction of the carpentry shop and it's workbenches, but even though the workbenches never got built they are still able to use them to make planks. Not sure what to file that under

 

What you're saying is, they travel in schools now.

 

Oooh, nasty!
Btw did you tweak the numbers yourself? Would it be interpreted as "for each 1 point of fishanger add one raider"? I havent looked all that much in the files yet, just taken a peak and changed the supply drop timer thingy although I think that might have been fixed in F version already.

Anyway, I was wondering if you intended for the fishpeople to be that many or not.
And wasn't the new biome cool?!? I feel like I'm lost in the amazonas and instead of a orderly "We shall create a beautiful city HERE! *points at ground*" I'm more or less "Omg...omg...omg....must..not...starve...must...not...die.... ooooh, longpork"

 

No, these aren't from any changes I was fooling around with.
