What are the opinions and how are they relevant to the game?

I cant wait to necro this thread in six months.

What would this tiered tech add to the game? Honestly town stages are super easy to see. Is there a deep well, newcommen well, or diesel well? Is there a basic forge or a newcommen engine with all its parts? Is there an oil pump? Seeing whats there and whats lacking instantly tells me where the town is in terms of progression.

Im tired of pseudo updates that do nothing for the game and jason wastes his precious time implementing and balancing. Stuff like the hierarchy bs.. a whole week spend on creating that and the sprites for it. What has it added to the game really?

With all the Spoonwood necroing i thought we could reminisce over their first ever post on the forums. Enjoy.

To my daughter Alexa, you are the reason our bloodline made it. We hit third all time deep roots for a short while. I was chased off by some xenophobe and a bear killed me before i could name you but you are epic. The xenophobe caught yellow fever and died.

Yea i really dont get the soil change. Water is more expensive than ever. Soil is more expensive than ever. Separating soil literally serves no purpose unless you are double tapping single piles. Biomes play no role in terms of soil usage. Im all for removing the noob trap but wouldnt it make more sense to make baskets 2 stack piles and compost and soil deposits have 33% more so that mistake is impossible unless you use bowls to make them three. Which would only be necessary in the snow biome.

If it was intentional fine but its come at a bad time. Between water, tool slots and biome restrictions we really didnt need another limiter before those are properly balanced.

If we are talking about base griefers that grief small towns and eve villages and such. It depends a bit.

Two main reasons i see are either that the player is frustrated with the game so they exploit or grief in some way to vent. The other is a player that enjoys causing suffering.

I run into a lot of noob griefers who dont seem to understand the game but think griefing is fun. They do very basic stuff like run around with a bow and eventually shoot an old lady for no reason. I would put them into the frustrated category. Griefing is probably the easiest job in the game. Without the appreciation for what it takes to build a civ i imagine they don't take it as seriously when they burn it down. If a player is frustrated with the learning curve and doesn't have the patience to learn i could see them turning to griefing. Noobs can often be the best town killers and not even realize it.

On the suffering end though. Which i think is a more common trait in the more prolific griefers. For anyone who builds a grand sandcastle there will always be someone who wants to knock it down. Its for a similar reason the person builds it. Its a spectacle. They spend X amount of time making this thing and they spend X amount of time destroying it. Its almost like they are two halves. One creates the civilization and the other destroys it. They are second in their impact to the town only to the person who founded it. I imagine the bigger the town the more satisfying it is for them to destroy it. These are the type of griefers that truly destroy towns. Not for any reason but their own gratification over the suffering of others and the destruction of hard work.

Back in the rift i think it had more to do with people wanting to be eve and getting tired of the same arc. For the most part nowadays i think it has more to do with the above factors.

I feel like most veteran players could kill a town easily, even without anyone realizing its them causing all the problems. Why don't they? I presume because they understand the effort and hours it takes to build towns, how many people poured their lives into those towns, and they respect that. Anyone who's been one of those people understand how painful it is to have your hard work thrown in the trash.

Dogs have been used for a lot of stuff. Lewis and Clark had a few newfoundlands that saved their lives on numerous occasions. I remember reading somewhere that explorers would often have dogs with them because their body temperature is higher than that of a human so they were good for keeping warm. Also if food became too scarce they could be eaten.

I do think it would be cool to have dogs as a kind of accessory even if they had no function. With a command like "you are my doge" and it sticks by your side for your entire life.
