This can be done with a measuring jug until 1g of old liquid remains in the container (as it is the smallest possible amount).
• Bugfix: Fix for recent tunneling action  which resulted in open voids and death leaps.
• Bugfix: Corrected a few more spelling and text errors.

Very nice, especially sealing and under the hood.

In tomorrows update we'll be taking an initial step of scaling SotG according to path level, starting at level 7 with 20% of the 30% DR (6% DR).

Each level will then add a further 6% up until the full 30% at level 11.

 

Hopefully this does lessen the "six month" requirement on PvP and reward newer players as they advance, we'll keep an eye out and continue to monitor what else can be addressed.

 

Was this included?

[Lisabet 1,016]

yes it was; I see it on my screen and spell list now

[bangzuvelis 549]

That new SOTG update, could we please see the real values what current DR is, rather than seeing 30% on any meditation level.

Will require a graphics update which is pending

[Omar 479]

NIce change to SOTG, and some nice updates rolling out GJ.

[Miretta 1,415]

cool updates  just one thing....I get no secure option for none if the new items added mentioned  I tried in my house...on friends deed(im allowed to plant) I tried kiln, oven, forge, bow rack, polearms rack, cupboard, square table, dining table. I checked having all the permissions and I got those options on old items that had secure option. I even tried it the old fashioned way to do it from inventory.

 

could we have an option to hide "take" option from the context menu?:)

I hope you understand that this 'fix' make the mandatory salt even more rare and impossible to obtain. "Veins" only have 50 actions, without regeneration it means some recipes will be impossible. Can we have more infos on this please?

rock salt tiles give 20kg rock salts which can be miilled into multiple salts, meaning you actually wind up with 100-200 salts per tile. as opposed to occasionally getting some salt when mining rock.

[Cecci 1,609]

I don't consider that reply "more info", that is info most of us already had.

Btw, keep in mind that some have low skill in milling.

 

How often will new salt veins spawn?

Requested less than 2 weeks ago here.

The turn-around time on suggestions/requests to implementation has been noticeably awesome as of late.

Good Work!

[Retrograde 12,013]

Rock salt "veins" aren't veins, just differently named rock tiles that have salt in them, so they have a chance of occurring when a cave in occurs, the chances of a rock tile having salt are far higher than an ore vein being the tile collapsing.

You also can get regular salt from mining these walls, and veins that have salt in them will continue to operate normally.

 

this was also to address reinforced walls turning back into salt tiles

Do that means the salt flag will be removed from a tile when depleted (which was not the case before) and randomly added to new tiles?

 

Do you also understand that with the whole collapsing mechanisms taking month, there will ALWAYS be a salt shortage.

At 4 salt per rocks at high milling and with how little salt 'veins' have been found, it's not a reasuring statement when a bunch of recipes REQUIRE salt.

 

If you want to keep it that way, maybe implement salt marches or salt water that can be boiled / evaporated to get salt.

[Niki 2,278]

nice updates, thanks for listening to suggestions made!

[Lycanthropic 523]

A very positive update, I see lots of qol-stuff added that was suggested by people in various topics, more off these kind of patches

[MaurizioAM 919]

What is the not being able to smelt glimmer ore all about?

 

SOTG changes although continuing in the right direction when will we see the trigger pulled to the real fix to the problem and go with zeke's suggestion 3% per level till level 10 which would be 21% and then lvl 11 jumps 9% giving the total of 30%.

 

 

[Morrowen 428]

Can new planted items be taken by enemy kingdom players?

[Galatyn 438]

Great change to SotG.  Thanks Wurm team!

[permo 1,263]

Good changes but still no fix for embark bug = game unplayable... It's been like this for months now, somebody e-mail me when fixed cause I cant be bothered reading these anymore.

[Mclovin 2,590]

I embark bugged at DD the other day EVERYTIME i jumped onto the boat; Luckily when they came out of boat themselves I embarked and the ONE TIME it didn't embark bug me; otherwise somebody would have died. 

[Lianya 70]

Thank you! \o/

A clarification.

 

Any rock tile that has a chance to yield salt also has a chance to become a rock salt vein. This is a random chance on polling, which means existing rock faces may just suddenly appear to be rocksalt veins.
