Doesn't matter for trees, I've been planting them whenever I have some seeds, only thing that matters for trees is distance to other trees.
#Community Village Game
manic sequoia
Which does remind me, I'll need 5 dendrologist papers next time if we want the milling book, I already put the fertilizer book where the other books are.
queen pasture
I also need hewn logs to unlock smelting
manic sequoia
We really should, preferably someone during other hours.
manic sequoia
Which would be solved by someone else going into logging early on, as I imagine not many want to just go logging if they don't get exp for it, most will just get some if they need some or if a tree is in the way.
tribal flume
I'm planning on playing at some point soon. I just need to get through finals season. I can fill any role yall need
rustic thistle
I can pick up logging as need be, but specialization points are slow. Especially since I have Weegy and Dit bunking for now.
tacit current
i got up right as server restarted, so might technically not bunking atm, but yeah
rustic thistle
Nope since you're on my settlement until further notice, we split the bonus btween us. I assume Weegy will move back to their own space when the emporium exists
queen pasture
Two things
I curse you Murgle for making me addicted to another Sandbox
Second
This tickles my software dev funny bone
rustic thistle
pffft
queen pasture
you can limit it to 9999999999h per day
tacit current
limitless potential!
rustic thistle
Beautiful
manic sequoia
Welp, time to force some more hours into the day then.
tacit current
also, failed screenshot from when i fell through the world
rustic thistle
Man ECO doesn't explain stuff. Tried making a world and it went "Hey so we'll simulate things even while offline", and I'm like "Okay so do you mean when the game is up and I am not in it, or just in general."
queen pasture
we will see when we boot back up on friday
ashen talon
Btw, does anyone have basic engineering?
tacit current
I believe that requires dendrology, geology, and 2 other knowledge papers? Will have to look later
rustic thistle
Ye
I was planning on going full fishing to try and get us a bunch of basic research
But unfortunately it takes hewn logs to make fish traps
and a ridiculous number too. 20 logs for a small fish trap?
ashen talon
I just looked at it. Geology advanced, (which I can make easily) and dendrology advanced, (which weegy can make) and basic research which we have
I was wondering because I could get away from needing so much wood pulp and fiber and be more self sufficient
rustic thistle
unfortunately since I'm the only fisher I have limited ability to fish unless I focus all in on it.
ashen talon
Is fishing something you want to do, or something you feel pushed into?
rustic thistle
Something I do want to do, but can't do efficiently alone and without a lot of wood that we're currently using for buolding mats
ashen talon
For tier two housing?
rustic thistle
Yeah
Weegy needs more wood so we need another logger
I was gonna flatten the entire forest area to turn it into a logging zone tbh
ashen talon
Ah ok. When we play again I can help log a little
Or would just continuing to make tier two building materials help more
rustic thistle
Probably T2 building mats?
ashen talon
Ok. I’ll just continue on mining and mortared stone then
rustic thistle
Weegy needs them for a government building, and also we can use it to make parts of the emporium so they don't use up every tree on the island. :U
ashen talon
Ok. There is a stockpile currently full of the mortared stone I believe
rustic thistle
I'll pick up logging next time I get a star so I can help with that part of the game, but I just spent the star I got on a talent
I should have probably saved it.
tribal flume
Man ECO doesn't explain stuff. Tried making a world and it went "Hey so we'll si...
It only allows time to pass if the server is up. It unfortunately doesn't take downtime into account.
rustic thistle
Honestly that's a good thing
tribal flume
I ran a server for a little while, but I couldn't have it running constantly. We ended up chopping every tree and nothing grew back.
rustic thistle
Yep.
manic sequoia
I was going to go into engineering once the basics were set up to provide actual food for everyone.
Also, if the game specified that it would simulate the game while offline, then I worry about all the seeds I was making and the little food we had, as things spoil over time.
rustic thistle
Yeah I think Pancake just set that to rest
Anyways. I'll work on logging and trying to set up a forestry area so we don't obliterate our wood
rustic thistle
Okay additional question, do we want to just obliterate our home island and turn it into processed ground for people to build on? We can use the other wooded island for a lot
manic sequoia
No, everyone decided to live in the biome that's supposed to be better for farming, I'm not certain about it anymore, but I believe the fresh bright green area is the best for that, I choose it so I can plant stuff better here, but if you're actually planning on turning it into a different ground type, then the other places are better for it.
manic sequoia
Will the server be up around the same time tomorrow? Or will it be different then last week?
noble rover
Will the server be up around the same time tomorrow? Or will it be different the...
I think @static pelican stated it would be up 6-7 hours earlier at noon est
manic sequoia
Hadn't noticed there was a pin right now, last I checked it was from years back.
rustic thistle
I'll be late, sadly. but if I'm lucky, I'll be close to another level up for my specialization by the time I come back
manic sequoia
I might be aswell, that should be around the time I come back home from physio for my leg tomorrow and then still need to make dinner.
static pelican
Reminder that the server should be coming up in around 2 hours here
ashen talon
I won’t be on for a little while, so feel free to take any mortared stone so long as you replace some of it with fiber.
rustic thistle
speaking of, gatherers should be getting the plant fiber
Since they get extra from each harvest
noble rover
bad communists
queen pasture
27C, zero clouds and grilling
I have meat
I win
But later I will work on smelting stuff
if someone wants to start working on it we need fat for us cooks to make culinary research
rustic thistle
bad communists
How are we bad communists? 😛
queen pasture
Need 8 tallow/fat/oil
rustic thistle
Server should be live
noble rover
it is
@summer holly welcome to the server! what do you plan to spec into/how can we help?
tacit current
will be on shortly, just got to a new town in a game where you collect people,.heh
queen pasture
On in a bit
rustic thistle
I will attempt to gather meat to make scrap meat for tallow
manic sequoia
I'm only now home and am currently making food, I'll join when I'm done eating... Which does remind me, is the food still alright? Has everything spoiled, or is most of it still fine?
noble rover
most of its fine\
manic sequoia
Ah good, so time on those at least was frozen.
static pelican
Time on everything should have been frozen. Was it not?
noble rover
it was
manic sequoia
We just weren't fully certain by how it was worded is all.
rustic thistle
Some of it might've spoiled in the hour the server's been active, but yeah while the server's not online things aren't running
The reason it's worded like that is because it's assumed that you're playing on always online servers, and only go offline personally
queen pasture
If food is bad I will be on in a few minutes
Need to charge headphones a bit
queen pasture
Coming on and just note :
Streamin as well
So anything embarassing can and will be used against you
rustic thistle
HEH
queen pasture
rustic thistle
okay I feel like shit, so I might only be there for a short bit
Get a list of jobs you need Hunting for that I can do
so I can do it and then pass out
like setting up meat for scrap meat
rustic cosmos
Have we unlocked milling? Do we have Oil?
tacit current
I've got about an hour and a half before I can start milling, did make the book tho
Now we. Need some advanced dendro and geology researches for basic engineering
ashen talon
We have the advanced geo research already for the engineering
queen pasture
We are good on food so we dont need hunting done atm
Milling is also unlocked but we dont have a power source for it
rustic thistle
Need a water wheel, then
queen pasture
I will leave a bunch of wolves for butchering but thats it
ATM hunting bisons and rendering them into fat
rustic thistle
We should check to see how efficient it is for rendering, considering I think I get more meat from butchering and can turn that into scrap meat
queen pasture
and campfire spec I picked campfire roast and not scrap to fat
2 fat per bison
But I dont have the specialisation for making scrap into fat
so I cant use them
rustic thistle
Pnad does
I think we can get more fat if I process them
But I'm not there, so do what you need to progress
queen pasture
I dont think we need to 1000% be ultra optimized
Its also a thing of available vs not
yeah we have enough bisons and its just for research not cooking
rustic thistle
Right
I also misread what you said so ignore me anyways
Even if I made the scrap meat, you can't use it for that
queen pasture
if you want you can make raw roast for me if you feel like it
they are butchery task needing 2 meat and gives some scrap
I can make campfire roasts
rustic thistle
I can prep it thanks to how the game handles work orders
So it'll just be a few clicks
tacit current
Grabbing foodstuffs for irl, than should be on in about a half hour
rustic thistle
Did we figure out what our newblood was speccing into?
rustic thistle
Alright. I'm gonna save specialization points specifically to go into Tailoring, so we can use threads
I need more mortared stone to make work spaces tho...
ashen talon
I need more mortared stone to make work spaces tho...
I’ll do some more mining this evening then
ashen talon
Is it the mortar?
tacit current
folks should make a participation trophy for every room.
rustic thistle
Mortar and also just. The process for mortared stone, which nobody but you can do King
queen pasture
A bit late reply but I also left another 100 of that at your place
yesterday before logging off
Literally just labour
rustic thistle
Weegy, we'll need more ice boxes so our food doesn't rot as fast. Can you make a few?
queen pasture
I sacrificed smelting
Carpentry and logging
And I noticed we scuffed ourselves hard
Much experience normally seems to be gathered offline
Server off = no exp
manic sequoia
Well, yeah, if it's off enough to not spoil anything or have the timer run out for the meteor, I imagine our exp also halts.
queen pasture
Meteor is a non zero issue
if needed we can re-adjust the time for him
to account for that and our playstyle
Admin commands can add time to the timer
but there is nothing we can do now to re-adjust the exp gain rates or such
Only by letting the server run
manic sequoia
Yeah, but I imagine if we'd just let it be active and have no way of getting on, our own calories will also go down and our exp gain will come to a crawl anyway.
queen pasture
Calories dont go down if you are offline
calories are only actively burned
Not when someone logs out
manic sequoia
Huh, I thought they did when enough time passed.
queen pasture
if you log out hungry you stay hungry tho
rustic thistle
I thought one of the guys said your calories decrease as you're offline, while the server's up
I can check when I get back home since I went to sleep with a full bar of food
queen pasture
Wiki says otherwise
rustic thistle
Kay
rustic thistle
Also, on the meteor, Mini has the final say. We can see if we make it in 30 days or not, and I think having that time limit to check out the game is a good thing.
rustic thistle
Yes.
I mean 30 days of server time, not 30 days of consecutive time.
That'd be what... roughly 12 weeks of us doing the server?
A little more since the original starting time of the server was at 7, not noon, so it'll need a little more time.
noble rover
good thing cry picked up carp
i'm out for today, things are... tense IRL and i've gotta be ready to spring at any moment
queen pasture
Its fine
ashen talon
I hope things get better. Take care of yourself
rustic thistle
Oh no, be safe Weegy
Can I ask the gatherers and Ulthor as the farmer to work on the research reports we need for TailoringM
manic sequoia
Should have everything set up for it right now, Thomas knows what to do if research stops for the bench at my place.
queen pasture
Also got you that Fletching Table Green
rustic thistle
Got it.
tacit current
Getting ready for work, but theoretically when I get home in 9.5 hours I should have 2 stars and cam figure out fertilizer or try to fill another niche
summer holly
Tailoring book is ready
queen pasture
I can make it in a few minutes
rustic thistle
right
queen pasture
eating dinner and then hopping back on
Its a carpenter craft
rustic thistle
No rush, I won't be able to use it until tomorrow since I won't have the stars until like
midnight?
rustic thistle
I'm sharing it with 3 people
so the fact I have a score of 6 is an impressive thing
Unless weegy/Pnad got into their own homes
I do need more decorations tho.
queen pasture
and rooms ?
ashen talon
I'll get on decorations
queen pasture
Bathroom , Kitchen , Living room , outside
I can get some outside deco as well as the interior upgrades
rustic thistle
I have 7 score on the outside
I'm working on making a larger room for all of the categories, but I don't have a living room at all currently
... I should probably put all my work tables and fancier housing stuff on the ground floor, hmm.
That way I can keep the storage nearby.
tacit current
Currently I'm getting 7 and I know I've got a 2nd resident, can't remember who though. (If you ever make extra staturs/fountains, I'd take some for outside xp)
tacit current
With xp being very important for stars, gotta make sure everyone has rad homing, heh.
summer holly
just need to make multiple of every room
queen pasture
Basic adobe works
rustic thistle
Yes. Not enough building mats. Or time and energy tbh
I can prolly do it if they wanna stay on my plot
static pelican
<@188095410924027904> MOVE YOUR DAMN PLOT
Think you can bulldoze it with admin commands. I'm not gonna have the time to do it tonight or tomorrow
rustic thistle
Okay
We'll live with it for now, I was mostly joking.
If need be I will bulldoze
queen pasture
btw hewn logs are actively being crafted so I think about 250-300 should be in the pile later
static pelican
If need be I will bulldoze
Eh just go ahead. I like the idea of eco more than I like playing eco. At this point I won't be able to play it till next Saturday afternoon and likely won't feel like it
tacit current
eatiing dinner but ill hop on shortly
summer holly
The waterwheels has quite a long range so we don't need to place buildings next to the water.
tacit current
Mill is up in the stone building near Cryo's stuff.
queen pasture
Mill is up in the stone building near Cryo's stuff.
👀
queen pasture
:/
Thats right where I planned to put another stock pile for wood and make a tree farm...
"Near" I though it would be near not... on me
Also whats with the new started mine between King and me on next to river
queen pasture
Also its nice you made all the rice flour... except we cant use it
The coking recipes we have access to need normal flour specifically
And oil/fat
rustic thistle
My bad, Mini. Didn't mean to pressure you
tight verge
Just make sure to always make a pair, and not a singular one. Don't want to give people the boot. 
static pelican
My bad, Mini. Didn't mean to pressure you
Nah is good
I was probably gonna pull my stuff down next time I logged on so ifi I can offload that work then... :P
queen pasture
Thou hast been evicted
tacit current
shouldn't take terribly long to move stuff. We had rice and wheat with which to make flours, The byproduct of the flour let us make oil. at mill 1, I am very limited in what I could make.
rustic thistle
@queen pasture I need a Loom
queen pasture
coming up
rustic thistle
We need linen yarn, wooden gears and wooden boards
I have the yarn needed but we need an engineer for the gears
queen pasture
gears can only ulthor make..
rustic thistle
Dit is gonna do it
queen pasture
yeah
one of the chests in the carpenter room is fine
meh , need 5 advanced geo research....
Aka 100 mortared stone
rustic thistle
Is Dit allowed to use the wood in your base to make the gears?
rustic thistle
I think hewn logs?
rustic thistle
The trawling net can only be used by a medium fishing trawler, which means I can't use the net and have to stick to the fishing rod only
rustic thistle
I think ECO just needs more people in general to actually be a smooth experience.
manic sequoia
Just finishing up my chores, I'll be on shortly.
ashen talon
Did you actually get some sleep?
manic sequoia
About 4 hours this time.
ashen talon
Better than two I guess
queen pasture
Little misshap in the kitchen
will take a few extra minutes
manic sequoia
Alright.
rustic thistle
queen pasture
queen pasture
Next weekend I can optimize the layout a bit more and then we are ready for iron stuff
manic sequoia
We should also have that pottery book next week, as I've started making the engineering papers needed for it, just need some more silk fabric and I should be able to make them. Got it all set up already too, so even if I'm not on yet, if the stockpile behind my pond gets the silk it should start the process and make them.
manic sequoia
I know how you feel Cry, but hold on, it'll be back in two more days.
manic sequoia
I have flooded my spare time with mangas and stuff to keep me preoccupied, and I worry I may have taken too big a bite because of all this.
tacit current
Could always figure out a different kind of community game in the meantime. Something like "muck day thursday" or something.
rustic thistle
Yee.
noble rover
i was thinking Conan
queen pasture
Can your PC handle the new shiny Conan ?
noble rover
mine can yeah
queen pasture
The UE5 one ?
tacit current
Or an "I've got an Itch.io" game day of a random folks vote on for the next week day x.
(I'm just spitballin)
tacit current
"Freeday monday" in which a free multi-player game is hit up?
static pelican
So sadly the server host I use doesnt let me automatically swap games on a schedule.
rustic thistle
Mmm.
We'd need to decide on a game and whether we want co-op or just
game together with soem bullshit
tacit current
I'll most likely not be on at all this weekend. "Sometime" tomorrow is when the trip for vacation starts tomorrow and so I gotta be ready
tacit current
it will be, sorry I won't be able to help stuff for a while
manic sequoia
We'll miss ya.
queen pasture
I mean you warned us last week so its fine
rustic thistle
When I get home tomorrow, I probably won't play for long. I'll set up huge-ass work orders for the stuff y'all need from me if I can tho
So you just need to drop off mats and pick them up
manic sequoia
I'll likely be the same as I've been the last few weeks.
summer holly
I won’t be online Friday
queen pasture
soon™
rustic thistle
20 mins Cry.
tacit current
Good luck. Am on the road. Think you'll have trucks by the time I get back next Friday?
ashen talon
I’ll probably be on in maybe 5 ish hours
queen pasture
20 mins Cry.
At work still
rustic thistle
We'll be working Cryo hard.
Who doesn't have a Tier 3 upgrade for their base yet btw?
rustic thistle
Also also. I will probably be delayed today, so if you all need orders completed, tell me so I can queue them up before I sleep tonight. As a reminder I have tailor, butcher, and Hunter unlocked as my specialties
manic sequoia
Grease, lots and lots of grease.
I also need silk fabric specifically, as the other fabric doesn't work for the windmills.
I'll be on in an hour or so though, going to make some food right now.
queen pasture
Ulthor is mixing it up
There only is Cotton , Wool , Linen and Nylon Fabric in the game
LINEN fabric
So ulthor
Linen is made of Flax :D
manic sequoia
Haven't been on today yet, thought it said silk, but Cry is likely right, you made some before afterall.
queen pasture
~ has wiki open -
rustic thistle
So yes, I'll need linen. If you don't feel like queuing it up yourself I plan on unlocking Gathering to do that part myself
So if you just farm/gather a fuckton of it
... we should get a second person farming.
queen pasture
^^
This is more the case and setting up fields for it
rustic thistle
Rgh. I wish I could get fertilizer AND Gathering so we can amend the soil...
Weegy basically set up a good farmland on the coast, it just sucks for some crops
If I could I'd get all the skills
Who has the fewest specializations atm
manic sequoia
I'll be there shortly, just need to take care of the dishes first.
Also, I'm all for a second farmer if anyone is interested.
manic sequoia
It helps with gathering the crops.
rustic thistle
Ugh. I don't have enough free points.
If I did I'd get all the bits and work on a farm by Weegy's place. ... Speaking of, @noble rover , are you planning on continuing?
rustic thistle
Kaaay. You wanna farm?
manic sequoia
No one on voice for this?
rustic thistle
Any chance of finding it in the wild, for seeds if nothing else?
manic sequoia
I've just planted a second field of them, but those will grow in about 20 hours, I was planning on going into the wild to see if there's more for the actual stuff you'll need though.
rustic thistle
Better fertilize doesn't increase growing time, correct?
manic sequoia
No clue, haven't tried it as I have no fertilizer.
rustic thistle
Hmm. Maybe I should save up for fertilizer first, then?
manic sequoia
Sure, do what you think is right, I can just plant large fields as long as I have seeds.
manic sequoia
Don't really need the fields to be on my area.
queen pasture
Ulthor around my place should be a good bit flax
queen pasture
Taking a shower and then I am on as well
manic sequoia
Where do you need me to deposit the flax stems by the way?
rustic thistle
Also allows us to continue to use fields, because otherwise those fields will go barren
My place. Cry, can I ask for a better storage unit and two signs, btw?
manic sequoia
The stockpile outside, or the chest inside?
rustic thistle
Chest inside is for work orders for me to work on
manic sequoia
The stockpile didn't have any space anyway, so I was only able to put it inside.
queen pasture
For better storage I need to prepar materials
Lots of iron
and I have to see of I can make them at all
rustic thistle
Ah
In that case, just another storage chest or two would be enough so I have space to separate items out
manic sequoia
We currently seem to have twelve iron bars.
queen pasture
for food stuff or general chest ?
Cause ice box is only food
manic sequoia
You don't have Blacksmithing yet, right Cry?
manic sequoia
Yeah, but that's smelting, blacksmithing is needed to make better tools and stuff.
manic sequoia
Yeah, and I wanted to know if I could order some better tools yet, or if we needed to wait a bit longer.
rustic thistle
Tools should probably be higher priority than storage.
Also, the more work I get the more likely it'll be for me to get up to T3 tailoring, then I can get the better workboots and better backpacks
queen pasture
Workin on stuff
rustic thistle
So don't be afraid to give me Cotton too, since I can use that for clothing freely, it sounds like
tribal flume
I just joined the server, and I can play more this evening. What do yall need me to specialize into
rustic thistle
It would be lovely to have a second farmer
But I'd join VC and ask Cryo and Ulthor more
manic sequoia
If I go to the area where it grows, I'll get some.
queen pasture
Farming itself is basically possible for anyone
Farmin skill adds some decorations
rustic thistle
Farming skill adds passive bonuses, iirc.
queen pasture
Using tools
manic sequoia
Mostly just the hoe.
queen pasture
Milling and fertilizer would be better
rustic thistle
Ahhh.
I'd like to get gathering so I can do the processing work for flax and such myself
the skutching table needs them.
But if needs must, I'll get fertilizing so we can continue using the fields
manic sequoia
Gathering is allot more useful too, as I get no farming exp from gathering the crops, just gathering exp.
rustic thistle
I guess it'll depend, if you want to do the skutching instead, that's fine by me,and I'll work on getting Fertilizers to help your fields
if farming isn't a big deal, Imight use spare adobe and dirt to make a floating farm by my base.
rustic cosmos
I’ve exorcised the gacha demon, I’ll get on later
manic sequoia
The magic flying cart!
tacit current
Oh yeah, I forgot that there is a cart in the water by the first waterwheel, I didn't have permissions so I couldn't pick it back up, if I remember right
tacit current
I love seeing so many folks in vc. Hope it's all funtimes (:
ashen talon
it is! wish you were here!
rustic thistle
Also cryo there are roasts available for cooking if you need them
queen pasture
NOTE :
We have increased the range storages can be detected
tacit current
New research or something else?
manic sequoia
King, next time you get on, we started the work on the pottery book, just needs five advanced geology papers and for you to put some work in for it.
I need to head on out now though, so goodnight.
queen pasture
Same here but in the morning ( 6 - 8 ) I can make new tools
ashen talon
King, next time you get on, we started the work on the pottery book, just needs ...
Nice! I'll get on that tomorrow
rustic thistle
Also place your orders for bags and such. I:m gonna hit the upgrade soon. I have three types of bag and one workbook, work boot is a 10% calorie reduction and movement up.
The backpacks are a 10KG backpack, a 5KG and movement boost, and a 5KG and 10% calories reduction boost
manic sequoia
That last one for me.
rustic cosmos
Moar movement speed 
queen pasture
:D
Good news , bad news
This is MENTAL
with how we have things and play this is just ...
queen pasture
I think as is :
Our world is too small to accomodate the industry needed for us
rustic thistle
How is that possible though, considering we're on their standard world size
Are they that bad at balancing worlds?
queen pasture
We will see how we can do it
okay the Oil tooltip is a bit missleading but at the same time insane amounts of wood as I notice
Oil craft says 0.5 per craft
so its 4 boards per Oil
Next stockpile is 15 Boards -> 4 Oil
4 Oil is 60 Flax Seeds which needs 30 Flax
We just need huge Flax fields
Which atm are effectively limited by fertilizer but that is being mitigated atm
rustic thistle
We may want to focus on getting top tier upgrades for one of every work station
Specifically so we can be more efficient with bulk ordering
queen pasture
I would only aim for 3 atm
4 requires the engineering paper
which is 2 windmills per and we barely made the one for pottery
rustic thistle
Yes, but we can bulk order that to get some for free. I guess it depends on how much we want the 20-25% resource production...
We should make a larger community farm
Specifically for growing shit we need
queen pasture
Or just more
when ulthor is back we can start working on optimizing that
also green
I need leather for tools
8 leather for any tool
I made a single pickaxe so I can get more iron but there was no more leather at your place
I have 5 left over and need 3 more to make the rock drill so I can search for ore
if it REALLY comes to a problem we can up growth rates
But I would rather first expand fields before that
rustic thistle
I mean
queen pasture
We have 2 people on it atm
rustic thistle
I mean like, if we want to make one specialized t4 upgrade, it should be logging. So we can boost the amount of lumber we get
queen pasture
Yeah about that
Lumber is carpenter
you are mixing hewn logs and lumber I think
hewn logs are logging , which we have zero issue making
Lumber is a carpenter task
The sawmill is where you make the lumber
The sawmill only takes advanced upgrades
Which are mechanics in a lab
rustic thistle
No, I mean hewn logs count as wood for wooden boards
queen pasture
no
queen pasture
I have a better recipe for boards at the mill
rustic thistle
Ah.
queen pasture
Also not our bottleneck
rustic thistle
Which one is, the oil or the nails?
queen pasture
Nails are 1:16 for ingot:nail and I can use the modules in there so that could help
But the real kicker is the Oil
And I cant reduce the Oil cost atm
but we can make Oil production better
rustic thistle
Got it.
Alright. I don't have a lot of time this morning.
What I'll do is get on and make some backpacks. Which backpack do you want, Cry
...
Ah
I don't have enough fabric
I didn't get the delivery of flax like I thought
Oh double right
I need flowers and such to make cellulose fiber
So I can't make shit
I need Daisies and othe rnatural fibers, I forgor.
oh duh
plant fiber counts
alright I cna do it.
Okay, got some balls rolling. I can't do much atm, need to go hunting more. will formally request mats for a bow.
queen pasture
looking at it we are semi screwed because of the games base mechancis in farming
in the whole world this is for us where flax can grow
the city was unkowingly planted in the middle of the biggest zone for Flax growing
the area where I am is near the beach and rather hilly and a small cliff
...
we are on the small world
we have 72x72 chunks
quarter of the size that is used by other public / small community plays
if you scale it back to 1-3 player that world is more than adequate
but 8-10 ?
We can try for a bit more
Wheat and flax share the same growth spots...
All the places where we could grow our food stuffs is either a hilly mess or we have the city on top
rustic thistle
We'll have to terraform
summer holly
Cant you use fertilizer to plant in the tundra
queen pasture
As far as I read no
The crop yield in the menu overlay
that cant be changed by fertilizer
and that determines also if a plant dies or not in the area
rustic thistle
Unless it's soil moisture, which can't be changed easily
summer holly
Yield should be based on nutrients which can be changed with fertilizer so long as there is temp and moisture is okay
rustic thistle
Wiki isn't gospel, mind. It was completely wrong about calorie depletion while offline
summer holly
Afaik there was a decent sized area behind wanderbot
summer holly
Time to terraform the river
queen pasture
you need the biome match otherwise it will die
And because of the smallest world size we have barely any biome for it
queen pasture
basically
yeah
unknowingly but we screwed us over by not checking before expanding more
hindsight and consequences of our actions
Its only 4 Plants we have scuffed ourselves with
and in all karmic retribution possible its 2 core crops and 2 foods
Wheat I wouldnt be so miffed about if rice flour would be an equal substitute for the recipes
rustic thistle
I mean
We can move.
It'll take a fuckton of effort but it's entirely possible to just move shop.
queen pasture
yeah
rustic thistle
If we're super worried about natural land
Adobe man-made island
Just build the town in the goddamn ocean
noble rover
can't build too far away from the land
they've limited it to prevent that cheeky business
rustic thistle
fuck.
We can at least do a coastal town doing that
Shift ourselves off the actual island
Cryo is there a place where we don't get fucked for building in
summer holly
I mean we still have time and I think flax will be less important after oil
rustic thistle
I mean. Flax is still very important for fabric, because only linen can be used for the windmills.
I also assume there will be similar restrictions on sails, if sailing vessels are not skipped for powered engine vessels.
summer holly
Yeah but windmills is for research and at some point we will have researched it all
Are there sailing ships?
rustic thistle
IDK, I think you'd know better.
summer holly
I don’t think there are
queen pasture
The next boat tier is far away
rustic thistle
... I need to go hunting again too, we need more pelts.
queen pasture
Small wodden boat need gearbox
summer holly
Oh what does gearbox need
summer holly
Yeah I thought they needed the same
queen pasture
summer holly
So tomorrow?
queen pasture
Some of the progression is just... stupid
why wouldnt a blacksmith be able to make a friggin plate on an anvil
yes takes longer and probably more materials
but..
rustic thistle
Adobe requires wood and dirt, right?
queen pasture
yes
rustic thistle
... I wonder if it'd be more economical to use wood, then. Considering Dirt is a pain and we need it for farms.
summer holly
I will be online in 5 hours
queen pasture
He sits on top of the biggest cotton spot
If we reserve that area for cotton only ( and maybe small spots to help out )
alternative for cotton :
those marked areas the most spacious for cotton
then
Those areas are no issue at all
if we make the cotton work alongside the coast line we can use the big space at Thomas to build the next town
rustic thistle
'next' town
Are you saying we're moving there?
Or are we making a second township already. 😛
queen pasture
IF the Terraforming at the beach and possible remodeling doesnt work
Mostly its Weegy's Emporium that is the issue
rustic thistle
... You're making us an iron hammer, Cry
rustic thistle
I am not doing this shit with a stone hammer
queen pasture
Where ??
I only could see 13
Also about the cotton
THERE IS SHITLOADS in the wild
rustic thistle
I queued up 100
So we need more pelt
You'll need to get more wolves or other small animals.
queen pasture
there is another 36 here I see
rustic thistle
Yes.
queen pasture
It takes a while
rustic thistle
It should be working on them at the butcher's table.
Yeah. It said it'd take an hour of crafting time when I queue'd it and I didn't have the pelt, since I need to go hunting.
If you hunt any small animals like wolves or whatever, the butcher's table is also set to make them into meat and pelts
So that'll be your source of leather until I manage to get back home
queen pasture
Okay I have a plan
because it isnt mentioned here
Hold Shift and left click drag an item
that moves all items of the same type
one click cart empty
pile movement
queen pasture
I need to remodell some parts of my own home to accomodate crafting changes and space
So I can easier manage my stuff that allows me to get resources
@noble rover do we have permission to take down the empty emporium ?
Cause then we can
this area then fully claimable for flax and wheat growth
noble rover
Aye go for it
queen pasture
okay then I shall prepare construction tools
rustic thistle
I will also ask for 15 iron set aside so I can make a recurve bow
wait fuck
it needs lumber
agh
queen pasture
ye
rustic thistle
If I had that I could oneshot wolves
Make hunting so much easier
Also, question, do you need me to move my shitbox in any capacity
queen pasture
Not yet
its more likely the dirt in front of has to go
but you started building into the ocean so thats fine
also you can build a platform to extend on the beach I think
Deep ocean building is disabled
but not the shore
queen pasture
so you have a load of space to the east for you
from what I noticed so far personall you reall dont want your home and work place to occupy same space
makes planing for working much harder
rustic thistle
Well, I'd need more space from claims anyways
I think our major projects are
Build the actual town center building
queen pasture
you dont need claims actually
manic sequoia
Welp, it's a good thing I started on slowly expanding the flax.
rustic thistle
Claims also allow for free linking of storages. Automatically, I mean.
But that can be fixed
manic sequoia
I'll be on in a bit then, waiting for the virus scan to be done.
rustic thistle
I'll need to adjust my house again.
queen pasture
Claims also allow for free linking of storages. Automatically, I mean.
I always unlink all storages first thing and set up manually so thats a non issue for me
rustic thistle
I just let it do it auot
I'll do Adjustments
Gonna need more building materials, so I'm torn on reusing the adobe or just using hewn logs.
manic sequoia
We would be upgrading allot of the existing adobe stuff into better materials, so you could use that, doubt it'll be used for anything else.
manic sequoia
Honestly, I'm still not sure how the stuff works, I tried using it, but it didn't seem like it was allowing plants to grow in other areas, and I don't know about the yield stuff, I'm experimenting with a few fields to see if they give better yields.
queen pasture
as I said
the survivability is NOT tied to nutrients
only full yield
maybe grow time
but if a plant or not can survive is only determined by the overlay and biome
manic sequoia
Yeah, just don't know how much it impacts the yield, hence why I have one field that's flooded with it.
queen pasture
as far as I understand it determines as well if you get seeds or not on harvest
bad , okay and good harvest
rustic thistle
You can also over fertilize
manic sequoia
I think the field with the most of it, has nearly 500% of one of the nutrient, so I wonder how that'll do.
queen pasture
over fertilized ...
rustic thistle
That will kill the plants.
I wonder if grass and other plants take up nutrients too. Do we need to fertilize for trees?
queen pasture
nah
the plant with over fertilize probably have bad yield but all are alive
technically you can
but we will probably stay in the jungle for trees
where its 100% coverage of 1.0 crop yield
rustic thistle
Well, mostly wondering if we'll run low on grass for plant fiber... But whatever.
I'm definitely taking the Nylon making talent for tailoring though
It's gonna save us effort later, which is where more resources are needed
manic sequoia
The virus scan finally finished, so I've joined.
Sweet, gathering lvl 6, now I'm getting an extra yield from my crops.
Nearly got a full cart of flax because of it, likely would have way more if it had happened before I started harvesting.
summer holly
So no need to convert downtown to a farm field?
manic sequoia
It'll depend on how much we'll need constantly.
rustic thistle
We'll need it for wheat
queen pasture
The beach around the emproium needs to be reclaimed
for wheat and possibly organized flax farm
but I would guess primarily wheat
manic sequoia
Yeah, the wheat basically has only one real spot if we want to maximize yield.
manic sequoia
Hey Cry, is the ore crushing area set up to also crush stone?
Oh YEEESSS~~ I have gotten to lvl 6 farming, which means I have taken the perk to start off with 20% mature plants, so that takes a fifth of the time to grow off of them.
rustic thistle
OH hell yes
manic sequoia
This all means more crops in less time.
tribal flume
I can put points into fertilizer stuff
manic sequoia
We got someone for fertilizer now, so its up to you if you want to.
queen pasture
I uhhh
Know where the leather is
tacit current
Was it eaten by crafting?
manic sequoia
Might have been used for that, yeah.
queen pasture
I need 8 per tool
manic sequoia
Did you leave any anywhere?
rustic thistle
i mean, it was all available for taking. I had 30 some left over
30 some left over after my crafting and the hide ash fertilizer.
manic sequoia
I hope you found those 30 Cry, because I can't find any.
rustic cosmos
I needed the exp to use the spoiled food
rustic thistle
I gave him the go ahead since I didn't know we needed leather for tools too.
manic sequoia
I didn't realize all of it was being used, otherwise I'd have asked if it was useful for anything else.
queen pasture
Propably just forgot Green
I mentioned it but that was a while ago
okay gotta go get some groceries done while its still open and then I will be back after that making the desert and its iron unsafe
manic sequoia
Alright.
manic sequoia
I'll be back on in a few mins, just have to finish a few things first.
rustic cosmos
My schedule’s all messed up, again, I don’t know when I’ll get on
tribal flume
Did a lot of milling, and I might be level 3 by tomorrow. I didn't use up all the rice because I wasn't sure if some still needed to be there for replanting.
rustic thistle
... Someone took my cart and my wheelbarrow again. I'll have to take 'em back.
rustic thistle
congrats @noble rover I have made a tenant housing for you

Yer good, King. IRL health matters more than video games
ashen talon
Thank you all. It means more than you know
manic sequoia
Hey now, I'm the engineer!
And yeah, personal health is more important then playing a game, don't feel sorry for not being there, just focus on getting better.
rustic thistle
On the bright side we're finally getting into all of our good stuff.
So we should be able to make steady progress, timers permitting.
Ah, we need oil for Nylon.
manic sequoia
Which we are slowly starting to produce.
Also, we might be able to unlock mechanics next week.
rustic thistle
No, like. Oil drilling oil
I guess that's fine, we'll even get sulphur out of it...
tribal flume
How and where do we get that
rustic thistle
We need to upgrade our research, I think.
It's beyond us at the moment, we need to spend more time getting resources again so we can upgrade.
manic sequoia
That's still a bit away, but we'll get there in due time, no need to rush.
queen pasture
I think for that we should REALLY slow down next week
First trying to establish and solidify the level we have
Stable farms
Home upgrades
Food
Building materials and production chains set ups in workshops
Just so we are stable in early industrial era
then start going into higher production
We were struggling a little bit to get modules for stuff and I think we should look first into trying to master „basic“ tier first
Getting all benches that can get a T4 upgrade one or at least comfortable T3 production for all so that we can equip a bench when we build new oned
timid pond
Yall playing with the meteor?
rustic thistle
ye
A t4 or T4 specialized upgrade per person would be wisest
At least for those who use ones we can upgrade atm
...
Wait
you know
We've gone all this time. Is the game actually in a state where we can stop the meteor?
hallow grove
As in are there actually mechanics to do so? If so, pretty sure yes, it is mechanically possible to stop it.
rustic thistle
Okay
timid pond
last time I saw you had to build a big laser and blast the meteor to stop it and "win"
I don't think they would remove that.
Just wondering how much of a time crunch you have
noble rover
that was the third weekend?
60 hours per weekend
180 hours in(ish)
720 hours total
540 total hours left for us to stop it
noble rover
547 or something yeah
rustic thistle
But yes, focusing on upgrades would likely be our best bet
Since that does reduce the crafting time as well as the cost
manic sequoia
It's one of my goals to make the laser, but we have plenty of time still.
queen pasture
We are on good pace with it
queen pasture
It's one of my goals to make the laser, but we have plenty of time still.
Its not one goal of you it is THE game goal to stop the meteor
And we have over 20 Days left
over 21 in fact and that is 7-8 more weeks of playtime
if we would "fail" we can still cope with that scenario or add a week to the timer see if we would be able to make it then ( like 3 days and play another weekend I mean )
but we can well afford a week of stabilizing basics
long oak
Wait Eco’s meteor isn’t a fail condition? The world goes on?
long oak
Ah
manic sequoia
I mean, technically it keeps on going even if it would fall, it just becomes hardmode then, and you need to have prepared for it with seed vaults and such, or it becomes impossible mode.
manic sequoia
No, just becomes a total wasteland and you have to start reclaiming everything, at least from what I've heard, never tried it myself.
rustic thistle
Huhhhh.
long oak
oh that sounds awesome.
queen pasture
Yeah King also mentioned it
Some People purposefully let the meteor crash and start with some sort of seed vault and starting in the wasteland
long oak
rad.
rustic thistle
It looks like it mostly just makes holes in terrain and buildings.
It only causes an 'end of the world' by blowing up places to live
summer holly
we have plenty of lumber and bricks is rapidly increasing in production. and the flax is close to harvest so i think we could get mechanics on Friday.
tribal flume
I think for that we should REALLY slow down next week
I second this. We really need to be getting more farms down for the important crops, and we need to diversify the farms we do have.
The amount of flax we are going to need for tier three buldings is going to be challenging with current production, and increasing rice/wheat farms can get us the insane amounts of mortar for the stone side would also be a really good idea
manic sequoia
I'm trying to get as many good farms as possible, I just need to get to the areas, which is why I'm making that road south, for the wheat area... The mortar is really the biggest issue I keep having for it.
rustic thistle
Do you want that lowland area near the emporium turned into wheat growing space?
manic sequoia
No?
summer holly
I think wheat is south east of ulthor
manic sequoia
I want the bottom area near the penunsila to my right for it, it's got the best yield.
rustic thistle
Kay.
When I actually get to play again I'll open myself up for grunt labor to set up the fields
Unless we need something else I can make.
manic sequoia
We'll discuss it Friday then, I doubt most would be remembered if we think of stuff right now.
queen pasture
We can create artificial fields we learned
Overcrowding is a for now scrapped mechanic and will be reworked and doesnt apply to player crops
So we could even increase the berry field
And in the primary wheat area we can create a little terrace for the fields so Ulthor has space for farms and equipment use
manic sequoia
Things like the amount of rain and temperature still do though, and the yield is impacted by those aswell, so unfortunately I can't put all fields in just one area.
queen pasture
Yeah but the area south of you is the best one
manic sequoia
Of course, that's why I'm making a road there.
queen pasture
but the actual fieldable area is small because of a cliff
but you cant extend the upper area with a platform above the beach and it counts for the area
its just any dirt placed in the area that counts
manic sequoia
It will be reclaimed!

tacit current
Random limited time with IRL friend today, May hop in later though
rustic thistle
Oh right. You lot, tally up how many work boots you need and which bags you want so I can prepare work orders for them
As a reminder, work boots are an overall upgrade, while the backpacks are a 10KG backpack, a backpack that boosts movement speed, and a backpack for calorie reduction
manic sequoia
Do the two other backpacks have a 5 kg still, or only those boosts?
rustic thistle
They have a 5KG capacity still
I can also make one later that has a 15 KG capacity if for some reason you need that
Thankfully I can get good discounts on them with individual crafts due to how stupidly expensive they are, so I don't need to plan on bulk crafts
manic sequoia
Ah no, just didn't want to lose the 5 kg with those, I'll have a calorie one then.
timid pond
tacit current
I'd go with a work boot and a calorie reduction backpack

rustic thistle
Doors are fixed
queen pasture
Thanks
rustic thistle
I both opened them and authorized them for everyone, so you're good now.
also @tribal flume and @tacit current my pick up chest should have work boots and a work backpack for both of you when you get back
queen pasture
yay
rustic thistle
I need more flax to make more of them
rustic thistle
flax fields are harvestable but I'm not touching them, I don't have maxed gathering.
I will request to get one or two stacks of flax stems at my base for more cloth
rustic thistle
@manic sequoia your work backpack should be ready by the time you're on.
I had to steal some fabric back from you to do it, but I think you'll live
rustic thistle
There's also a spare pair of work boots in there as well if someone wants to upgrade
rustic thistle
look I was intending to keep at least some of it for clothing work!
rustic thistle
I just didn't expect you to take all 500 I had made

HELP SO MUCH
queen pasture
I KNOW
The mods I am testing
New Farmer tools ads some AoE tools ( Scythes ) to Hewn Wood tier ( also needs engineering for gears ) and Iron tier
The Second mod switches some mining talents around allowing to choose both lucky break and the pickup one ( moving one to lvl 3 and other to 6 )
Industrial elevator broken
Basic Labour ads tools like the hand plough but for road making , seeding and harvesting
Early boats moves the early boats to mid tier engineering tier and not needing Mechanics
Butcher Balance for some changes to recipes in butchering animals and making them tiered by level up ( because solo )
Storage Control is seen above
Compost bin is a station using fertilizer skill to make ... compost
And the shover mod is making all shovels better
Wood is 5 , Iron 10 , Steel 15 and Modern 20 pick up total
