Patch Notes 18/MAY/17

Recommended Posts

 

The Almanac!

  • Crafted with sheet of paper and string + 2 leather strips, the almanac will hold reports you create about the nature of the tree, bush or trellis and estimate the harvest times.
  • Reports are created by studying a harvestable tree, bush or trellis during its harvest season.
  • You then can write down the record using a reed pen with ink or dye on paper.
  • Forestry skill will determine how much information is collected
  • resulting quality of the report will determine how far in the future you can see harvest times.
  • These reports may then be stored inside the almanac.
  • The almanac can then be used to check on harvest times and read up on information about the reports they have stored inside.
  • The command /almanac will tell you what is in season as long as you have the applicable reports.

Catapult tweaks

  • Tweaked distance for crowded message when using siege weapons. Shouldn’t be able to use 3 rams on a single wall anymore.
  • Increased skill gain from using catapults.
  • Tweaked damage output from catapults upwards, should be a bit harder to hit the 20 damage cap at 10 winches now.
  • Damage from catas/trebs over the 20 damage cap that is currently ignored will now increase the splash radius, and deal a small amount of the extra damage (the ignored damage over 20) to things in that increased radius.
    • The radius gained from this is up for changing, as with the base radius.

Cooking affinity adjustments

  • An option to fix players missing certain available cooking affinities has been added to your character profile.
  • This is a ONE TIME TOGGLE which will switch your character to the new affinity system.
  • The new affinity calculation will not take rarity of cooker into account for determining affinity
  • This will recalculate affinities gained from existing meals as well as all future meals.
  • New characters created after this update will automatically be on the new system.

Repairing changes

  • Changes to fence, floor and wall repairing and improving.
    • Base timer for repairing and improving these is now 4-8 seconds, depending on your repair or building skill.
    • This applies to all building material types.
    • Timer is doubled if there is an enemy presence nearby.
    • Damage repaired per action is now between 5 and 10 damage, depending on repairing skill and the quality of the item you’re using to repair.

Cave building

  • Clad reinforced cave walls introduced.
    • Created by activating a trowel and building on a reinforced wall.
  • Paved reinforced cave floors introduced.
    • Created by preparing a reinforced cave floor with mortar and then applying paving.

  • 3 new fruit bushes have been added – blueberry, raspberry and lingonberry.

This is an amazing list - will try to bug out items in the mine where a bridge is above after the restart :)

I'm very afraid to see how bad my tunnel levels, I see a lot of work coming to my miner slave to fix everything :P...not mentioning the wall and floor changes.

Thanks a lot for the tweaks and the bugfixes, my favourite surprise this time are the tundra ones I think.

Fantastic!

 

Some pretty nice fixes as well as the love for tundra (finally), but why this?

Do they really need to decay? At least they represent some history where only paving would be left otherwise.

Can we make destroying tundra harder then? Like only packing to remove it instead of just digging?

Love the new stuff!

 

But...

 

[18:23:59] <Kadmint> [18:23:30] You finish studying the Maple tree. You now need to record the study results.

 

How does one make a record?

Activate a reed pen with ink or dye, right click on paper or parchment and record the info (it will give you that option for the bush/tree you just studied).

So many cool updates that were asked for!  Move to center, pillars inside... great turn around time from request to release and that's just 2 examples.

Almanac will be interesting!  Was is ever confirmed that we can update our entries as skill improves?  @Cecciwas asking in another thread, I'm presuming we can indeed update...?  I know, I know, when I presume I make a prez outta you and me.  Better off assuming these days.

New bushes :wub:  I'm planting asap, totally awesome.

 

Just one little thing: :lol:

    • Timer is doubled if there is an enemy presence nearby.
    • Damage repaired per action is now between 5 and 10 damage, depending on repairing skill and the quality of the item you’re using to repair.

 

Could have been a very nice improvement to repairing and improving these objects if not for the 5-10 QL range variable effectiveness. I see the old strong urge to add a benefit and at the same time reduce it has yet to become overcome. Old mindsets still need some tweaking in this respect.

 

Added:

Way over 90 Masonry skill with a 35QL stone brick repairs 7.75 damage on an Iron fence with a 3.9 second timer.

 

Mid 80's Carpentry skill with a 50QL plank repairs 7.80 damage on a wood fence with a 3.9 second timer. Note: previously any successful repair on a wood fence repaired 40 damage regardless of material QL used or skill level. Severely nerfed this one.

 

Basically the repair timers have been reduced a lot (except wooden fences due to requiring 5 repairs for 39 damage now) at the expense of requiring more materials to be made and used to do the repairs. This makes the repair timer reduction much less impressive.

The /almanac command doesn't work if the almanac is in any kind of sub container, even just in an inventory group.

Great update!

 

A question, though. There is now a way to transmute moss to something else. In the interest of not seeing moss disappear completely with Wurm after some time, can we have some transmutation liquid that would transmute another surface to moss? Or is that already in?

 I don't know if it's in, but you can plant moss.

Moss can be planted just like grass.  It's easily removed by packing it down.
