Are you using awbz windows based server or the linux based one?

Damn yeah you are completely right about the fact its a crafting resource like a tree and should be seperate from food. Good thread.

Solid point spoon. Typically someone doing something like this would just be a minor inconvenience and eyesore till fixed. In this case it would render the entirety of the building useless, which is part of the concern.

To Tarr, yeah I wish neutral buildings were better, but if they were wouldn't they make these jungle and desert buildings useless? In a sense the higher reward for mastering a more difficult habitat fits well.

Not sure if any style of rug will look pleasing repeated over and over in tiles. More flooring options that behave differently would be more ideal. Such as stone floors would cool better than wood floors in this specific application. Unfortunately stone floors are way to expensive at the moment. 49 rocks to dig up to do that room in stone floors is sadistic.

Hmm thats what I would worry about heavily, is the general user to not understand the cooling/heating property of buildings and claiming it doesn't work simply because they aren't closing doors. Still though mad props for getting a desert building up, and I do hope it is used.

The visual noise of the rugs is quite hard, I usually don't like them in anything but a nursery for that reason.

Personal opinion also is that 7x7 is a massive room, and there is little reason to use them especially as a bakery. They end up turning into a junk room that holds all the random stuff from a town, and have tons of traffic. If it becomes cluttered you have what, possibly 30+ tiles of objects to clear out, rather than a dozen or less. A room like that I would say would be better suited to hold all the extra tools and organize food for yummers.

It's the fact that you were seeking violence over a rather mundane event is the point. Doesn't matter what level of violence was used, or what level you wish you could have used, you still wanted to use violence to teach a lesson. You have lowered yourself and we are kindly pointing it out. Also you mentioned you were frustrated because a group of anonymous people playing a game together online did not value your personal efforts on the same level you did. Another slightly cringe worthy point honestly.

If you hope was for an echo chamber and general agreement, this was not the venue you should have chosen.

As to property, pretty sure Jason is mulling that one over to give us a better tool against griefing other than kill on sight.

I have done this a few times by accident when breaking out the of tutorial area. Although it took the person I found a few moments to realize I was a real person that was in their tutorial area, when the confusion was gone I brought them to the extra area and taught them smithing 101.

More possibilities to have settlements in other biomes than swamp/grassland mix. Relocating and entire settlement is quite a feat, and starting off its really hard if you don't have close water or soil. Giving us someway to make full towns in savannah or badlands or even tundra would be a fun change of pace.

Another thing to note is that an optimal player caan support a town during their lifetime but once their time is done, its done. Their can be a surplus of every resource possible but if the last girls don't understand their importance the town will fall. The entire game is complex sand castles with a constant tide ebbing to wipe it clean. If your last girl only knows how to eat berries and doesn't know to keep a carrot or something on them to avoid starving when venturing out means evryone is six feet under is huge.

Thats part of the point. We are so constrained on what a building needs to be shaped as for warmth, that artistic and functional freedom is out the window. Buildings are rather expensive because they are attempting to be a survival element. Tarr is heavily pointing out that they are failing miserable at that goal as well, and should be addressed. Every single room is just some ticky tacky little box that has only two differences, the walls are made out of adobe, or they are made out of stone. Why people are trying to shoot holes in a proof of concept, that jungle buildings are WAY more efficient than neutral biomes, is beyond me.

I personally don't understand this. Why is it that important to access the oven from all four sides? A crowded workspace does not always mean it can not be efficient. There does NOT have to be two people baking if you are doing it right. The below picture was one of the designs I have played with for bakery, that is not another stupid rectangle box, that also can pump out a ton of pies. There is three rows that can hold full plating, and the three column spaces on the left side can hold plates/rock/water/bowl/etc while you are making the pies. When you are going to cook, you lay down three baskets, one from each loaded box, in the space between the two lower boxes. Little right click magic on the baskets, which you don't need to move a single square to access all three, again right click to rotate cooked baskets for raw (the other reason you take one raw basket from three different boxes to speed this swap up). A single person can cook about 36 pies ALONE. If a second person were to join in, which would indeed be rather unnecessary but for sake of argument, unless they are standing in prep row, they will not block the baskets/oven/boxes anymore than you are.

If you are in a town that needs more than 36 pies cooked in a single kindling burn of an oven, you have bigger problems I can not even fathom.

One, if buildings ended up being cheap, having a room just for pottery would not be a stab-able offense. You could end up with a room adjacent to another, that one is the regular smith, and one does newcommen and lathe stuff. Also very much yes on the hallways, there really is a lot that can be done with the building mechanics already in place, throne room hallway that is like six tiles wide with stone corner walls as pillars going down it, hell yes. We essentially can build castles that would look like Legend of Zelda, but don't because it takes enough resources to simply make an 8x8 room. As to the springy doors, honestly I just wish all doors worked like that and didn't need tech. People are more likely to close a door on someone walking right behind them IRL than they are to leave it open. Closing a door when walking through it is a basic reflex, and in game its such a tedious step.

P.S* In the bakery above I would not attempt to store food or have a fire inside of it. In a live environment I would maybe put boxes along the walls on the outside to store the food after it was cooked. Too much traffic in a workplace is super annoying, people are usually pretty good about staying out a smiths way, same should go for a baker. Lot of times people feel like they need to "help" when you start an oven, and that is not always true. Idealistically in a large town that is producing almost all the food available, a mess hall food storage room would be great. Signage and everything to denote all the different pies, crocks of stew and broth. But alas, settlements don't last long enough for this or are too disorganized for it. The game of telephone that is OHOL is a heck of a hurdle for ambitions such as this.

+1 to the frustration of people not thinking of clothes as communal just because they are worn. I have had to slowly collect iron or adobe one basket at time many times meanwhile the nanny and her baby she is "guarding" like fort knox are fully clothed and packed up even though they are straddling a fire.

Its right up there with lack of communication amongst the camp. I had one life that i spent thirty minutes struggling to get rope to make a bow and get a goose for the file, as all local milkweed was gone and none grown. When i finally got back with everything, turns out someone was already working on that project and no one knew and half my life was wasted, well all of it because i suicided afterwards because i was down with that town.

Milk is a super good food for those that know its food. I have played the part of milkmaid before, setting five to six buckets around town near nursery, forge, farm etc. In twenty minutes or so i would say maybe four bowls were consumed out of the six buckets. Two of them were by me.

Same with stew really, i have seen kids running around like crazy saying there is no food because the berries are empty. Place of death, right next to crock of stew.

The tutorial needs a revamp. You can show people complex foods without showing them how to make it, leaving the learning experience in game. Part of the symptom of oversized berry bushes and dozens of rows of carrots is simply because a large portion of the camp don't know whats food and not, and how to chain them for yum.
