Re: Embargo Lifted! (Open Early Game Discussion)

Wow, you two together almost gave me a research report there. It really teases me, and I want to definitey test it in the next HCS. Feels a bit exploity, but it requires mortar or snow and lies between a jumping puzzle and a proper door... I may just treat it as a brief optional step of gating progr...

Re: Embargo Lifted! (Open Early Game Discussion)

I felt totally outclassed by the "Show us your builds!" posts, but I still thought it would be cool to share the photo albums of my recent early-game base. So, I'm posting them here. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Base Overview Renewable Food Progress I like your neat simple design. Could you give more inform...

Re: Fire Plough still not working on servers

Yesterday I had some extensive testing opportunity in our server. With the new release, both bow drills and fire ploughs are now working very well. Thank you very much!

Re: New Release! (BTW 4.ABCEEEFA) - NO SPOILERS

The spawn change allowed proper firemaking opportunity in about once an hour, so I only have a few test results. Until now I have not experienced the problem. But I really wanted to share this story. In the past, when I was crippled and starving in the middle of nowhere without any supplies, I chose...

Thank you so much for putting effort into the firemaking problem. I cannot wait to test it! The idea of whole new survival opportunities really excites me!

Re: Fire Plough still not working on servers

In our server the problem persists. About one third of the time I go through multiple ploughs without success. Bow drills generally work within a range of 1.5 drills, but in rare cases three drills can be used up. I have visual feedback when this occurs, as the fire starter durability goes upward (r...

Re: Fun and Balance Percieved by Two Completely New Players

Thank you, the_fodder! 61-day pre-oven was natural learning curve for us. Unless we were plainly doomed in a new spawn, it took around 5 days to figure out that our approach had been wrong. So around 10 experimentations with some wiggle room could fill the period. Notable experimentations that were ...

Fun and Balance Percieved by Two Completely New Players

Hello everyone, I and another player, completely new to BTW, played ABCE5 together. We took 61 in-game days to reach our first brick oven. It took several dozens of HCS, five serious respawns, two almost-ragequit-serious respawns. After the first oven I just died once, and my friend had no more deat...
