Cool, thank you for confirming. Will respond to your other post when I have more time.

@tarr

I don't feel like this is necessarily screaming decay. The biggest offenders appear to be the new stuff (onions, tomatoes, & peppers), eggs, and paper. The new stuff makes sense. Jason has just added it, so he'll need time to adjust it like everything else. I think everybody knows, by this point, that when Jason adds something new, he typically rushes just to get it out the door and fixes any problems later. You should be able to get rid of these easier...like maybe just eating them? lol

I guess I can see it with the eggs. If people just went around and killed a majority of the geese, then you'd have less egg spam. I suppose people's laziness and inefficiency doesn't really mean this should decay; but then again, maybe it does. So I'll let you have that one.

But the paper is a different story. The whole point of it is it's longevity. Maybe there should be a way to get rid of it. Maybe after a certain amount of time, it turns to "aged paper" and can be burned.

Everything else isn't really that big of an issue. Take out the above and you're not left with that much.

Pretty bare bones. There were only a few different crops, cart was as high as the tech tree went. There was no murder cooldown and "wounded" state. When you were killed by a wolf or shot with an arrow, you went straight to the black screen saying what killed you. There wasn't even naming. Would be pretty trippy going back.

There is no real reason for grain to decay. It's super easy to get rid of (unlike poop). You throw it in a bowl, and turn it into bread. I would understand if making bread had a chance to use up the bowl used for making it, or needed other multiple other components or a large time investment; (like poop) but complaining about grain is just kind of silly IMO.

Or it adds unnecessary complexity and makes it obtuse. I'm with Jason on this one.

I am aware, but I never mentioned anything about oil in game. At least not to my knowledge. I remember you asking if I was making a shop, then I said initially it was supposed to be a home (but meant to be able to trade). Then you brought up something about posting a similar idea in the forums. I might've said something about a lucky shot you got on me way back in the day with an arrow (I don't think so), but I have no don't remember discussing oil.

Gratz on getting the oil though, I've done it in a lifetime as well. I am well aware of how skilled a player you are. Maybe just a misunderstanding?

If I had to guess, probably never. If you want zoom, do it the same way everyone else does. I'm fairly certain that Jason has shut down the idea of adding it to the game pretty resolutely. Now I'd love to have it in as default, but I find I think it's very unlikely.

Also, I'd like to say, that if you want to "endure" the unmodded experience, then that's your choice. You can even be irritated that the game dev isn't adding the stuff that people say "improves the game". But why complain about it?

I really can't quite grasp your train of thinking, especially the "no game deserves to be saved by mods" argument. What does it matter? If people think the dish tastes better with salt, they can add the damn salt lol. You can also add the salt, it's your choice if you choose to eat it without. Maybe the chef thinks it tastes better with no salt. So you think he should change the dish or only serve to those that do not put any salt on it?

Your argument seems a little arrogant and entitled. If a game can be loved and enjoyed just by adding a little something, what does it matter who it came from? I also don't think you should complain about "enduring" a game that isn't developed the way you think it should be, that was your choice man. I don't know, the whole thing just seems odd, I can't wrap my head around it.

Yeah, I kind of miss the old days before the curse system. I also used to duel a lot back then, sometimes even taking on multiple people; even after the murder cool down was added. Things are a lot different after coming back. Kind of crazy to think about how this game pretty much used to be a carrot farm simulator.....Now it's just a berry farm simulator. BA DUM TISH!!! XD

Lol, pein's story reminds me a bit of my beginning days. My mom stumbled on an deserted utopia and told me to enjoy it while she went off and died. It was really eerie; just a labyrinth of rooms with multiples of anything you could think of. I didn't even know what half of it was. I remember taking some tools from the massive stockpile of tools from the grand forge, and heading out into one of the courtyards to figure out how to do cut stones (of course, this was back when you couldn't actually do anything with them). This was also well before the coordinate hiding update. I thought it was just how far society had manage to get in the game, but it was actually just some guys on discord going back to it over and over again. My mom might've even been one of them, looking back.

I'll never forget the feeling of stumbling upon an ancient ruin from a civilization long past. Eventually though, I got exhausted with all of the wonders I had no idea how to use, (not to mention the soul crushing emptiness); and filled my belly and just kept running east until I finally died of starvation. Top two most emotionally moving experiences I've had playing this game.

I figured it went without saying that a gate and ownership would be implied. I was referring to someone who took the time to set up a fence AND a gate. If you OWN the gate (meaning you made it(game mechanic)), then you OWN the land inside the gate (and fence) and anything on the land. You are the defacto owner because only you are able to gain access to it.

In my head I was imagining a scenario where a few people tried to set up their own little 3x5 or 7x7 plot of land somewhat close to town, (but not in it) and then you, or someone else, comes along and smashes then all up because you dictated that "no fences allowed". I personally find this objectionable.

Maybe this came down to misunderstanding. If you were simply referring to people randomly building fences through the middle of the city, or trying to unilaterally claim ownership the town bakery or a communal resource; then that's far more understandable.

As a side note, putting stuff in a chest offtown or hiding behind trees doesn't guarantee any security (especially considering the "tiny tree" mod I've heard about). This fence thing would.

Personally, it seems like they'd work well enough. Overpowering through murder (if diplomacy fails) is fine by me. If someone is hording and everyone has a problem with it, deal with it like you would anyone else who is causing a problem. And as far as the "dumb queen" scenario, the maximum population you could get it to pass with no possible objections is one. And if she's the only villager for 30 minutes, I'd say let her have it. She wouldn't be imposing on anyone else, and it'll be gone when she dies.

From my perspective, the guy running around smashing everyone's fences would be the griefer. If i saw someone running around smashing everyone's fences, my first instinct would be to assume them a griefer and move to resolved the problem. (I'm obviously referring to someone who has gets no approval for fence smashing, and just does it unilaterally).

But I believe this fence stuff might raise a possible issue when it comes to curses.

As long as the threat of donkey town exists, people will just curse those that don't share. Then we're back where we started. Property would just be an illusion because if you spend a life or two not sharing with the whole world, you might very soon find yourself in DT.
