Yeah, it makes queueing up a ton of crafting really annoying.

So, animals can escape from trap pits?
I checked my new trap-fence and there were stag footprints leading to the fence, a triggered (empty) trap pit in the fence and a stag wandering around the area past the fence. 

I'd rather not spike the pits if I can help it since I've already leapt majestically into one of them while not paying attention and will probably do it again. Is there another way to prevent this?

Just got this game today and am loving it.

[Mephansteras]

Picked this up a few days ago due to One F Jef's streams of it. Been really enjoying it!

Had an exciting time with my most recent character. A bear started hanging around where I've started building my cabin, which was a little nerve-wracking. So I made a spiked pit, baited it, and after the bear had fallen in and climbed out I tracked it down and killed it.

Now I have a bear skin tanning and about 100+ cuts of meat. My cabin isn't done yet, though, so I may have to drag it off to a village to smoke it. Pity, since the closest one with a sauna is about a day's trek away. I doubt it'll stay fresh in my cellar long enough for me to finish the cabin, since I have at least 5 or 6 more days of work to do on that thing.

Just make sure you take enough cord with you when you go on your bear smoking quest.  FACEPALM.

*sigh* Poor Vanya. She was doing so well. Smoked the bear meat, ended up killing both a raindeer and an elk in pit traps, and had a huge amount of smoked meat and two good hides tanned. Even managed to take out a njerps warrior with the help of a hunter I'd hired. And then she drowned trying to ford a river to get to a village. My fault, since I didn't think about how much she was carrying. Not even the protection from waters ritual helped her. Also, I swear that river was wider than most.

[jester]

Rafts are easy to make, 3 cords + 3 trunks, punts are better, if you start near the bottom left corner, the cyan guys sell em, and dogs can carry them if you dont want to, handy.

[The Merchant Of Menace]

Yeah, I always spam relocation until I spawn in Driik territory.

[Mephansteras]

Yeah, it would have been pretty easy to make a raft. But I was too focused on the travel to think about it. And that was my first character to try swimming a river, so I didn't realize just how dangerous it could be. Ah, well.

[Lord Dullard]

I should pick up the newest version of this. I bought it YEARS ago, when it was still pretty basic. Neat, but very basic. It's got all kinds of new features I've never tried out now...

[Askot Bokbondeler]

fantastic! i'm kinda hoping you'll take a similar direction with cult

Wait shouldn't that statement be reverse?

I love some of the stories you can get out of this game.

Just now I had an extremely tense moment. I'd recently managed to kill a Stag that had been wandering around my cabin for the past few days with the help of some spiked pit traps. It's been a day or two and I'm in the process of smoking all that meat. While I'm going to my cellar to grab another batch to smoke, I hear a trap go off. So I investigate. A bear had stumbled into one of my pits! It's hurt, but not seriously. It is mad, though, and rushes me. I barely manage to fend it off, and it escapes. Ok, lucky break. Maybe it'll run into another pit trap and I can finish it off later. In the meantime, I'm quite tired and decide that it's best to leave well enough alone.

The bear disagreed, and attacked me in my sleep! Apparently they can open doors. Not a huge shock, I guess, but I wasn't really expecting it. Anyway, I manage to fight the thing off and eventually kill it, all without getting a single wound!

I now have a bear to skin and smoke. Which in addition to the Stag I killed, and the Forest Raindeer I caught in my traps a few days before the Stag showed up. I don't think all this meat is going to stay good through winter, so I should probably take a bunch of it down to a village to trade for something. Does anyone have any solid numbers on how long smoked meat lasts?

[jocan2003]

smoke and cellar will keep it for nearly a year or is it dry meat? well sure thing youll last to whole winter, just make sure you save on that fat, it help keep the nutrition up ( not hunger but nutrition level )
