I just went on my first big exploration in my longship to try to find a path to Bonemass (he's super far away). Just as I landed to build my portal I got attacked by leaches and had forgotten to eat food so my stamina was super low. I died  Now I have a very long trek on my backup Karve to get back to my corpse.

I ended up building a second wall around the first pen, and when I load in they're within the second wall but not the inner pen. I might need a 3rd larger pen surrounding both because they're STILL escaping. There's definitely something weird going on with tamed animals being loaded outside of their last-known location. dogstile posted:Early game you're poo poo outta luck though Yep!

Before I could work out who it was I had to knock trees into other tree's to get the fine wood part of the recipe.

I heard a rumor that if they're partway inside the wall when you leave the area, when you return, they'll be on top of it instead, and can walk off. Try using 'walls' of raised earth, instead. Or putting them in a pit.

Wards do not stop a determined attacker from simply bashing your structures/etc down with the Stagbreaker or other meaty weapon so it's still no guarantee. That said, since servers are so small the public server life typically means that if anyone breaks the rules, they cry to the admin and the admin just bans the people who came most recently if there's no easy evidence available. Note that rules don't have to be griefing in the usual sense. I got banned off of one server for building a public waystation by their portal nexus. The reason, apparently, is that the portal nexus was supposed to be a nature reserve and me building a 5x5 hut with some basic services, items, and some beds ruined the local aesthetic or some poo poo. It's a shrug though. Ultimately the public server life is like any tiny social group. Rules, when they exist, are largely arbitrary and there to make whoever is considered king of the ring feel more important. My personal community's server has simply run off a "don't be a dick" understanding and everything's been fine. Griefing by building or bashing is fairly limited just because it takes a while to do anything and detection isn't hard. Theft and stuff is pretty meaningless because any sizable heist is going to be erased in 30 seconds as the victim just hops into their own world, presses F5 to enable the console, and spawns the 100 iron bars you took with a few keystrokes. That doesn't mean it won't happen, of course. Coolguye fucked around with this message at 16:57 on Mar 5, 2021 |

Yeah, the fact that you can trivially just cheat stuff in seems like it'd blunt a lot of non-destructive griefing. Is kind of weird you can't spawn in specific patterns for shields, though.

Goals for this weekend when there's a lull. If I can find more starred wolves anyway. Otacon posted:I had a boar pen, and the boars kept escaping whenever I'd load into the area.

The one-star boar I did catch wasn't done being tamed and we forgot about it a bit. So it nipped at one us, and the tamed no-star wolf leapt into action by chomping down the fence and eating that boar in an instant. Since then our six boars became two when the other four ran away with the fence still unfixed, while the remaining two aimlessly wander the compound and haven't bred again. So I do agree that animal husbandry has some issues.

Inzombiac posted:Wait, are people using the wood cutting axe as a weapon as well? I mean yeah, it's an axe, it does the same damage as a sword more or less, the sword just has a slightly faster attack and the secondary stab. I would suggest the axe is probably the best thing to make with new materials early on because it combines faster tree cutting with faster enemy cutting. I'm pretty sure you can also use the giant two handed battleaxe to cut trees too though I haven't tried it.

Ra Ra Rasputin posted:Some tips for new players or people having a hard time: The cost of flinthead arrows is super minimal over wood arrows for a decent chunk of damage increase. Flint is easy to find on any shoreline, and you can either shoot birds or just explore for feathers. Plus once you get to the Black Forest, flinthead arrows are in most chests, so it's nice not to manage more than one type of ammo.

Took on Bonemass last night, I may have gotten lucky with the area, as there were no visits from any surrounding creatures. I did flatten out the area before the fight. He's easy to bait a swing, run in and smack him a few times, run back. He does have way too much health though.

Yeah, but the damage increase is so small it might not be killing the enemy any faster then a wooden arrow while requiring you to take trips along the shoreline and shooting birds instead of saving up for fancier arrows with those feathers.

I bit the bullet and made a bronze pickaxe. The difference is about 4-5 swings to break a chunk of copper vs. 7-9 for the antler. That's a sizeable difference over time, and just means you'll have to haul around 6 copper ingots for a forge on site, which isn't THAT big of a deal. If you wall off a copper node and use a bronze axe set up, you'll clear the area in no time, bringing what was once a considerable grind down to a...grind.

Yeah, I'd say the order for bronze is axe/pick/weapon/armor. The axe is good for a pinch, but bronze maces and swords seem good. I was using the axe and stagbreaker for that tier. Iron the priority is a pick, though, no questions. I didn't even build an iron axe. One upgrade on a bronze axe is more than enough once your tree cutting starts getting up there. Also, bare-handed parrying meadows and black forest enemies with a good block skill is really fun and makes me really want to try out the brawling weapons mod and bring Fight Night to the woods.

Everything is a huge upgrade over the previous tier.. bronze pickaxe owns the bone one, and iron owns the bronze one. It's fun to do a group raid on a crypt and my friends are endlessly whacking on slude piles with their bronze tools and I hit something twice and it breaks apart. The durability improvement is no joke either, mine is max upgraded and I still have 50% durability at the point everyone is at max weight (and we all have belts).

Yea, I was hesitant to make the bronze pickax vs mining copper/tin with an antler and workbench, but the durability and damage do usually let you fill up your inventory before it runs out. Or if you're lugging a cart the copper for the forge to repair is simple

Precisely. It's because of that that I don't really recommend upgrading to the iron axe immediately. Because of the damage range it still typically takes 2-3 swings to fell a tree, another 2 to cleave, and another 2 to disassemble. This is pretty on par with bronze. Coupled with The Elder's ability you can lay waste to a forest with just a bronze axe I reckon.

Ra Ra Rasputin posted:It can cut trees but it's nothing special. Each to his own, but I don't think I spent any more than a few minutes total in my game shooting birds during a rainstorm. Once you start doing Burial Chambers, many of the chests have feathers as well as flinthead arrows. Flint is even easier - walking along a shoreline going from A to B while exploring your initial island will get you plenty of it. You need it anyways for the early game tools and some crafting stations. It's not like I've done any quantitative testing of how many arrows it takes to kill a troll with each arrow type. But personally it's worth it to me.

The axe damage (modified by your skill) determines how many chops you need to do, since trees have (invisible) hp. Iron axe turns me into a tree felling machine.

Inzombiac posted:Wait, are people using the wood cutting axe as a weapon as well? The axe is a swingy thing that happens to damage trees. If an enemy gets in the way, it takes damage, too. Have you never before been cutting down a tree and a greyling gets in the way?

This may be a revolutionary concept to some of you, but: Light sources don't need to be lit at all times. Light them for comfort, or ambience, or screenshots, but it's fine if they aren't lit at other times. And you have the option of only adding 1 fuel instead of filling them completely. Same for campfires.
