Hence why I'm pushing knowledge- the more we know of what's going on, the more effectively we can direct our meager powers. Primarily, we won't be able to do much about the irregularities in the forest until we know what's going on in the forest.

Knowledge isn't power; it multiplies power.

Knowledge with no power (like a sage nobody listens to) is about as useful as power with no knowledge.

But if we don't know which powers we should be multiplying, we'll just end up sending random avalanches and lava flows willy nilly and hope that solves our problems. First you get the knowledge, and then you get the power, and then... you get the women. Er, lady mountains, I guess.

Apples: Nutrients
Nutrients: Strength
Strength: Power
Power + Knowledge >+= money/power
money/power = +women
women = Nsfw
Nsfw = Aids.
You are now dead.
Because of an apple.
F*** apples.

The interaction between knowledge and power is a complicated one, not yet captured in this discussion, simply because the two elements are so incredibly vague. To make an accurate judgement, you need to define all the distinct degrees and shapes of knowledge and power each, then compare them to see where the ~chokepoints and efficient combinations are most likely. Although if you want better heuristics instead, perhaps you aught to think about specific similar situations you've experienced before. It might kick your subconscious into gear.

So, right now increasing the power of our inner flame seems to be generally agreed upon, with water and awareness forest being tied for second pick.

Just in case, wont a level in water automatically gain us water awareness (along with geyser and hot springs)?

If so, I guess Water and Fire, followed by Awareness and Thought, sounds like a good plan to me.

I think we should focus on gaining some awareness of the forest, and of that strange clearing there - that sounds like trouble. Also we should listen to the prayers of the village, and work on better answering them. The inner fire thing also sounds good, but I'm kinda alarmed by how It seems to be making our sturdiness go down. What's up with that?

[Nivim]

What's up with that?

Would you consider a volcano on a moving faultline "stable"? Where do you think our heat comes from?

[NRDL]

Try to figure out what the irregularity is.  Continue trying to connect with the villagers, and even help them.

If you can have Wild crops like wheat and strawberries grow along the edge of the village.

[Loud Whispers]

Irrigate the crap out of their crops with our water? Bring them prosperity?

also see about increasing the size of any predator plants like the venus fly trap in the forest below. Or if predator plants aren't present attempt to introduce or breed some.

Well we'd just need a dark (out of sunlight) marsh to grow predatory plants, but unless you mean we're going to end up making monstrous elephant devouring plant traps, I don't see the point

PTW...
This looks good...

Use fire, combine with life, make intelligent vines (burning vines grab you, ouch!)

When we learn to control the plants... We learn to move the Earth. I like it.
But first we need water, so that's a definite fire+ice from me.

[Drago55577]

I made a good idea?


Il go with loudwhispers

Even if we somehow managed to make animate, burning vines, how would that work with our fungus/plant rainforest? It has both many flammable things that wouldn't like fire, and of course, rain, which we can't do anything about until we have more Weather.

We already have the 1 level in ice and fire each that unlocked water; we need to level up water as its own skill if we want to use it. It seems odd that you missed this, am I mistaken?
