I always make the bottommost foundation a higher-tier foundation.

Also my walls are lined with archer III's armed with snake arrows. Nothing likes being shot with a snake.

Re: Remnant: circle clockwise in 3rd person and you should be fine. I've done it with stone and bone at 10 or 12. And there's plenty of time between the dive and the flop to switch out your spear, and vice versa.

Also: the patch added so many nice things and did such lovely high-level balance tweaks... but omg soooooo many bugs...

Latest patch broke placing wells. And it sucks since my next three journey steps are "Use an explosive" "Lure an enemy into a trap" and "Drink from a well". Instead of making explosive devices for the first two, I decided to spend all my tar on crafting a well, which I can't place. I'm not sure, but I think using the Mitra fountain counts, but that'll have to wait a level or two to get that feat.


In another story of some of this game's bullshit buggery, I had placed a Wheel of Pain by the Black Galleon, and put a few very nice thralls into it - a T2 Alchemist, a T3 Blacksmith, a T3 Task Master, and a T3 Fighter. After they all broke(by lowering the time in server settings because screw that), I had the fun time of trying to haul them back to my base, about a third of the entire game map away - and I was out of food. The mental image is that of me carrying them in a piggyback ride chain. Realized this wasn't going to work by the first hyena attack. I put the fighter down, handed her one of the thralls, and was able to walk and fight normally. When we got back to base, I put the other slaves to work in their respective stations, and figured I'd move the fighter to inside the keep. Not sure what happened, perhaps instead of following me through the door she attempted to climb the keep, but I heard her scream. I ran outside to find a pool of blood and her legs sticking out from under the foundation. All that trouble, and I just happened to recruit the Wicked Witch of the East of all people...

It took me over half an hour in the admin screen to spawn a new thrall of the same group/class/race/gender, and the one success happened to look like the one that died probably by sheer chance.

Mitra shrines do count, and I'm not sure but IIRC you might still be able to put wells on foundations.  At the very least it's worth a shot

Tried putting well on (indoor) foundation, didn't work. Also tried putting the well on the roof, not sure why I expected that to work. Admin-ed in the Mitra fountain after buying the feat, I just didn't have time/desire to go out and gather the resources to upgrade my shrine - it did count for the journey step. Not sure why the well is bugged and the fountain is not, and I haven't checked if the upgraded well is bugged or not.

Also took me several tries for the "Use an explosive" step. I turns out that shooting the explosive pot(or converting it into a mine) doe NOT count for the step, you have to walk up to it and light the fuse(running is optional, but recommended).

PRE-EDIT: They already have a hotfix patch up. Claims to fix the well bug, as well as the bug that got my previously mentioned fighter thrall under the foundations.

Two weeks is good for a double-post?

I've been building a new citadel in the highlands, right on top of Skyholme Ruins. Admin-mode, of course, since manually harvesting resources would likely take me months for the stuff I already placed. I used a different method for the walls, this time using pillars surrounded by wall sections with ceilings between pillars instead of stacked foundations. Seems to work better, though I goofed and forgot the ceiling sections between the pillars, not so for the walls of the main keep. I don't think NPCs can squeeze through the gaps between the pillar and wall sections should the outer section be destroyed, and even if they can I can put spikes in the gap.

The main keep is a ⌀13-block circular structure, though I cannot make it actually round since there's no half-block foundation and the method for using foundation wedges is both complicated and requires you to use it from the start whereas I had already placed the base foundations down. Not really sure how to allocate space there. So far I've got a 5-block high chamber I'm going to use as a banquet hall of sorts, and the next floor up is a 2-block high chamber originally going to be used as a map room until I saw that the map was blocking support pillars. Maybe I'll make a throne room or something. Going up from there, I don't know.

One slightly annoying thing they've changed two weeks ago was changing support beams to decorative beams that provide no support. This also means little or no diagonal support.

New patch out. The changelog is small but tragic:

-The Jewel of the West Pack is now available for purchase
-Fixed a bug where tents would make players and NPCs immortal
-Fixed an issue where the Potion of Endowment buff effect wouldn't get removed after timing out, leading to potentially world-destroying amounts of dong
-Fixed an issue where meteor shells were automatically destroyed after landing, making it difficult to harvest Star Metal

potentially world-destroying amounts of dong

Damn.

-Fixed a bug where tents would make players and NPCs immortal

Oh good, that was pretty frustrating.

Hey guys if anyone is looking for a new server me and me buds got together to get a dedicated 30-slot server up.

It's PvEc with no time restrictions, meaning PvP is on but buildings cannot be damaged. 5x harvest and 2x xp mean less time grinding and more time playing. We'd like to build a nice regular social community based on base building and murdering people for their plant fiber. Also there's a Halloween event on for just a little while longer.

Name: Instance City - PvEc Dedicated 30/slot 5x Harvest/2x XP
Connection Info: 181.215.49.228:7905

!!!NECRO!!!

Anyone still playing this? I just picked it up on the long time insistence/recommendation of my friends, and was wondering if there are any Bay12 servers or groups roaming about?

[Dunamisdeos]

I pick it up every time there's a major update for sure. Not playing it at present.

Lots of fun. Was probably planning on picking it up again fairly soon.

Our server is down right now but I'm sure we'll put it back up eventually.

*brushes sand and bones off the thread*

I actually picked this up in December of 2019. Put around 20 hours into it when (I think) I had a case of the 'ol first wave Covid over the holidays. Half of that time was spent figuring stuff out and building a barebones base, the other half of it was running to the nearest cool thing I saw in the distance.

Kinda gave up because I felt like death most of the time and TBH I didn't have the energy nor was the game so amazing that it kept me playing it. It was cool to see and climb around on but the exploration/reward balance was sorta underwhelming.

Anyways, saw a Youtuber I like doing a speed run of it and it re-kindled my desire to play, maybe with a couple of friends.

TLDR: Anyone got some hot tips on some mods? I feel like for a purely solo game it lacks some things. Like I've put a shit load of time into 7 Days To Die, which isn't exactly the same kind of game as this, but is another survival crafting sim. Compared to that, the looting in Conan feels pretty barebones. I think I killed like a mini boss or two after sneaking through their lairs and it didn't really feel like I got much out of it. Are there mods to make things cooler? Spicier? So it's not just kind of a dry crafting sim with "beautiful landscapes"? No real plans on playing on an open server, just a private SP world that I might open up to my friends.

[Dunamisdeos]

Yeah I highly recommend playing with a bud or two.

I've never explored mods for this, but I understand that at this point it's got a reasonably healthy community with whole new maps to check out.

Setting your movement speed higher with the console is the only mod I need, zoom zoom.

I'm a little hesitant to resurrect a nearly two year dead thread, but I've been seriously considering getting this after rewatching the Neebs Gaming playthrough. However, the reviews are... less than stellar.

So what are people's opinions on this game?
