Healers are pretty good at the whole horse thing. Also, doesn't the crafting reward increase when stockpiles are low, when they were initially high? Also, is the max crafting reward reached from an empty stock that's on default?
EDIT:
Also, craftsmen have the same labouring as peasants, who in my opinion don't really need any help with chopping wood. And why do craftsmen need to repair things? Shouldn't that be left to engineers in factions?

Map designers should put convenient flax stations next to clothes.
That way crafters can make the linen to make the clothes themselves rather than have to buy it = better profits.
As a class I think they need more help from the maps.

No; the most recent change to trees was in beta5, slightly shrinking the UV maps of some native types to fix the thin line glitches at the mesh face edges. No trees meshes have ever been swapped with entirely different ones, to the best of my knowledge; maybe you should download the full latest version again to isolate patching errors? If it still exists, specify the scene prop names.Splintert said:
I still don't agree with that common opinion based on my testing and evaluation; on a well designed scene (not one that has flax and clothing crafting dumped in as a minor afterthought) it seems possible to make comparable amounts of money for the time spent as things like iron mining, provided that is not made ridiculously trivial. I started writing a detailed testing report based on playing on a public server, but had to restart my computer and forgot to save it, and just don't really have the spare time at the moment. Remember that craftsmen can gather their own resources (slowly) and craft most horses by themselves, which often have high possible crafting rewards. I have increased the component of the variable crafting reward based on the skill required from 100 to 300, which will increase the possible reward proportionally more for lower value items.Aldric said:
Increasing the linen and leather prices is the wrong solution, as it would make the raw resources much more valuable than the end product. I have already decreased the time required and increased the processing outputs, but linen production could be increased once more, with 1 flax bundle -> 2 linen thread -> 2 linen cloth, so the gatherer can make more money from each flax bush and bundle moved. In almost all player designed scenes I have examined, far too many iron mines were placed with huge hit point values, but far too few flax plants were dotted around singly, sometimes long distances from a spinning wheel and so on (wrong). You are not supposed to place a single plant, but multiple in a field, so multiple peasants can gather it at the same time.Aldric said:
Nothing has been changed in that code for a long time: all weapons should still be dropped.Aldric said:
Hmm, I don't really want to do a complete overhaul. Building and repairing just requires engineering skill greater than 0 (higher levels do it faster), and the engineer troop name is just that, not a distinctive job title (as with "mercenary").BlitzKrieg-BoB said:
I still think the main keys are unintentional bad scene design, and intentional sabotage of the mod design, to make money grinding as easy as possible at the expense of everything else.Aldric said:
That would prevent craftsmen from making them: though, it seems reasonable now that the small mining picks can be crafted (which would remain at 2 engineer skill required).Melvarius said:
Correct.Melvarius said:
No: if the stockpile is set the default 0 target, there will never be any crafting reward (since the current count can never be lower than the target); it is a way to disable crafting rewards for items. A target stock count of 1 (recommended for top tier speciality items) means that the full reward will be given as long as each item is bought before crafting another, to encourage making to order rather than using it for grinding money.Melvarius said:
No, peasants have 2 labouring, serfs 5, and all other labouring troops including craftsmen 1.Melvarius said:
As explained before, repairing is a general skill, not a specific attribute of engineers - which seem attractive enough as is, without giving them more exclusive abilities.Melvarius said:
Spinning into thread requires labouring skill, weaving into cloth requires tailoring.Melvarius said:

Not sure I understand the animal changes in beta 6.
I bought 2 of each animal in aminal pen.
Both boars died after a short which but the others grew up ok.
Does 'die if cant move enough thing' only affect boars then?
What and how do you 'manually feed' animals?

All die after some time if they cannot move. You just pick up one wheat sheaf and hit the animal with it.

Just a question.
As I understand it, this mod was first made by Laszlo, and then Vornne took over. I tried to check Laszlo's post to find this, but failed. So when did Vornne take over this mod (version,year)? Or where He/You here all the time?

Baby animals (like boarlets) starve much quicker than adult animals that produce more meat when killed, like cows.Von Blucher said:
Test to find out: from memory, I think the herd leader needs to move at least about 10 meters at ground level for the herd not to starve (I'm at work and can't check).Aldric said:
Laszlo started it alone, though I answered a few coding questions before first release, then about a week after the first version I got the full code to implement some features, helping behind the scenes with scripting for version 2 and 3, but Laszlo did all the public announcements and releases apart from 3.2 (while he was away); I decided after version 2 that the current module system base was unworkable for the features we wanted to implement, so started work on a total module system rewrite from scratch, which eventually got named version 4 (it actually started development in parallel with version 3 and before _WAR). Laszlo had some changes in life which meant he didn't have the same time available or inclination for modding (second hand information, you would have to ask him for exact details).Armie_knock said:
Thanks for clearing that up ^°^ Now I do actually remember seeing an old thread where He asked something about modding, and You answered it.

Ok I did see 2 baby boar and 1 baby deer die. Some deer did live so i guess those were lucky and managed to find space in the pen.
They only seem to die as baby. When grown they seem fine and never die. None of my cows died and I bought quite a few who got stuck around the pen quite a lot.
Havnt managed to feed them. I had wheat and tried both leaving on the floor and hitting them with it. Hitting them did nothing.
