You can hire people with spoiled meats? Oh man, as soon as I get that bear I dine on long pork for weeks.

[Robsoie]

You can use spoiled fishes too.
And when you have several nets, and do not smoke anything, you're going to have a very lot of spoiled fishes in your stockpile.

Perfect to hire your own little war party.

[Lukewarm]

Do villagers replenish, or do I have to stock up for the hike if I run out?

[Askot Bokbondeler]

damn guys, what a bunch of cheaters. how can you even enjoy the game playing like that? sorry, i'm not usually one to judge how others play their games, but after pages upon pages of you guys discussing the same exploits over and over again its getting rather boring

well in the iron age we all know there was some cannibals.

People aim for short term goals: Food and hunger now, mercantilism with your own food for later. :/

Barter trade system. You can amass a fortune given the "From this clip, I trade a stapler. From this stapler, I trade a box..." type of ideology.

This also ends badly D:

I think he's more referring to the fact that you can vomit up everything you eat without it dropping your nutrition at all, and that you can hire people with rotten food.

So you can just eat a bunch of rotten meat, throw it all up, and then fill your stomach with water and be perfectly healthy.

[Mephansteras]

Yeah, personally not fond of using exploits at all. Especially in a game about survival.

[Sergius]

The problem with that line of thought is that playing the LEGIT way, you usually CAN'T fit in your stomach enough food to get your nutrition up, at least with most fish and nearly all vegetables. I would consider it a bug.

Fish and meat have always been able to get me back from starvation without any problems. Although vegetables aren't too good at it, it's true.

[Haspen]

It's because they don't contain enough proteins.

The only vegetable that can get your nutrition high enough are broad beans.

[Moogie]

Beyond basic survival, there's really not that much to do in URW currently. People will exploit bugs and loopholes to accomplish things that would otherwise take too long, or be impossible to do without.

There's only so many times you can enjoy starting a new character and spending 2 in-game months on the edge of starvation and not being able to do anything but fish all day. It's a game, and a singleplayer one at that: let people have their fun. People can discuss anything they want about the game in this topic, and if they want to discuss exploits, they're free to.

Out of 30+ pages so far, not many are devoted to this issue, only the last few. If it bothers you, don't bring it up- the nature of forum discussions means that we'll soon have moved on and be talking about something entirely different in a few pages from now.

From what I can see, there are two things that need/should be done.

A: Make building buildings a two step process. I can be at best nutrition, no hunger or thirst, and start to make a wall, and hit malnourished before I am done. First step, carve and organize logs. 2nd step, place them. There is no reason a man should spend 5 hours working on a wall, stop for lunch, and come back to nothing.

B: The ability to make certain items, like nets and punts. They SHOULD be very high skill reqs, but it should also be possible to weave a net from a handful of ropes.

It's planned, but it needs a bit to work, as you'll need to put a percentage for everything (tree cut done at 58%, wall built at 33%, etc)

B: The ability to make certain items, like nets and punts. They SHOULD be very high skill reqs, but it should also be possible to weave a net from a handful of ropes.

You can make rafts, which are heavier punts.
Else, there is tons of mods to be able to make nets, punts, etc. The only issu is that you can't fix a minimum skill required (but you can put a malus for skill, which means you'll probably have bad quality items if you don't have very high skill).

[beorn080]

Make the wall building similar to tanning, with multiple steps involved. It's really just about the only task that takes so long you can easily start starving in it even when not hungry at all.
