Haven and Hearth

[Varric]

Alright, server reset.

So, are we waiting for someone to make a hearth secret to start at or what?

Minimap doesn't work 

 

[Taimat396]

Okay, someone pick a spot. Any spot. find a river and plant your hearth.

Herbs & Plant Spawns
Plants no longer spawn in naturally occurring patches on the map. Instead, we have a new herb: The Wild Windsown Weed. The Windsown Weed can be dried in either a drying frame, or on a herbalists table, and, once it's dried, it converts to a plantable seed of some kind. Drying takes 2 ingame days in a drying frame, and eight ingame hours on a Herbalist's Table.

The Four-Leaf Clover is another new herb. The Clover can be fed to wild Moufflons and Ochsen. Doing so allows the animals to be sheared for one unit of wool(Moufflons), or milked for two liters of milk(Ochsen).

from the new dev post.

I'm near a river with a big green plain (lots of chickens and aurochs (cows) 
How do we obtain that weed? Why a river?

 

[BloodLuster]

chimp confirmed for brawl


Having some trouble downloading this also im afraid, mine appears to be stuck at about 70% and will not go any further. Anyone got ideas for how to fix this?

 

[Taimat396]

Just leave it a bit. The dev team is two bored uni guys, and the server is just an old computer. So its a bit ****.

 

[Varric]

I got download stalled, but it worked after a while.

 

[Temuzu]

Server restarted apparently. Ill start searching!

I can sympathize, my first charatcer spent a few weeks in the wilderness alone, having not said anything to anyone until some mine spectator rowed next to my house.

On my way, we shall all team up.

 

[Devercia]

Found a large grassland area with both conifers and deciduous trees nearby. has a river but clay is limited. Secret is: Site1, or was it site1?

 

[Temuzu]

We already have a place! Hearth secret is: lazy. I think its a great spot for now, until we find mines.

 

[Elisianthus]

I've been heavily on the mead tonight, and it's 0318 already - as a result the Doctor shall be calling tomorrow (Later today for those of you with both pedantry and distinction), Gentlemen.

 

[Vulkan]

Just created character and went to "lazy".

Are there any plans right now?

 

[Tuckles]

It seems we have more than one hearth secret to choose from

Temuzu's lazy and Devercia's site1.

I'm headed to Devercia.

 

[kwekl]

I also joined the 'lazy' site.

Theres a 'quality point' a little way north. q15 clay and q30 soil/worms there.

I also found a flock of chickens south a little bit. They were delicious.
