Haha, fair.
wary vapor
What I love about Lost Lake is how much more organised it is
I went into it like "I love Origin Cave, but it's layout is an MC Escher painting. Not this time"
spring cradle
The signs have been... useful. It also probably helps that any expansion had to be levelled out first, so some planning was necessary to begin with.
wary vapor
As the first couple scattered buildings went up I crafted a bunch of road and built the town square bounded by them, then quickly threw down The Crossroads before anybody could build anything in the path of it
tropic yacht
🙂
wary vapor
Someone started a bridge across the lake and I sneakily went in and moved the whole thing 2M east to make it line up with existing buildings
tropic yacht
lol
we opted to make our first boat ever I'll be growing flax till I'm dead to replace it
wary vapor
Slapped down the foundations for the forge fast as I could to cement the basic layout of the town and build a forge big enough for the community in long term instead of ending up with 3+ scattered smithies all with different ore shortages
The result is a beautiful town
Organised but still natural
tropic yacht
🙂
wary vapor
The house over the storehouse is beautiful, the longhouse is magnificent, the pantry is majestic, and it all just fits together
dawn moss
ive also been battling to make the town actually expand instead of crowding around the forge
tropic yacht
you sound like someone who was tempted to rip the town down in the other game and refresh it
wary vapor
Haha yes, your work building out the road system to encourage sprawling is key to it too
wispy swift
Now that I think about it, it may have helped that not every single person that hopped on was intent on putting a building up right away. I know I kept myself preoccupied with exploring and the canal, and didn't even put up anything for the docks in town until spring/summer year 3 when the roads and town areas were more established.
wary vapor
Very true! There were no actual personal homes for like, the first year basically
I lived out of a chest for the longest time
I can only think of like, 4/5 people on the server with designated private spaces, me being one of them
wary vapor
"Ooh, the tannery has some ready made winter gear for me" - AT LEAST TWO PEOPLE
spring cradle
Oooh, we're up to two now?
wary vapor
Well the first is the one who never said it out loud, and did take your first set
the second is Hoshi, who said it out loud, so I was able to direct them to put it back 😆
steel crater
Hey, I have a "private" space.
Your private chest is right next to a public chest that a sign tells people to deposit hides into.

Hence why I said it out loud
spring cradle
I can remove it if it's a bother.
steel crater
it isn't a bother to me, the point is I'm worried it's a bother to you! Like one minute with a pickaxe and a door and the chest could actually be in a private room just for you without the risk of misunderstanding
spring cradle
I am not particularly bothered if things go missing there, but I should probably make it less confusing for folks if that's what happened for you.
wary vapor
I regret everything I said, RIP Tanner the Chicken
spring cradle
These are the consequences of our actions.
Context: We have had a chicken hanging around in the raw hide cellar of the tannery almost since the start (though I had laid my private chest in there before they arrived).

So Wyn asked about TL's earlier, and I've gone through and confirmed my list of TL's I know of that are close to town.
Welleporter: Take the town well down to the TL, and it takes you to 6581, -6990.
Tin Pond Sea: Access is under the South bridge, through the dock building at 1, 63. Takes you to 4728, -1734.
Ocean Bottom: Surface entrance is -341, 291 ---> 4517, -6189.
Nickel Mine: Surface entrance is 432, 158 ---> 1664, 3638, and a furniture trader on the surface.
South TL chain: Surface entrance is 95, 323 ---> -6775, 7147, follow the mined tunnel to -6671, 7148 ---> 147, 14484. Follow the peridotite trail and it will bring you to a direct tunnel to the next TL shortly, 277, 14158 ---> -5894, 19850. There is a peridotite trail through the cave to the entrance at -6040, 19751.
West Link: Near the end of the South TL chain, there are a couple that shoot you out West and back North a little bit. Cave entrace is -6264, 19574. Follow the trail of peridotite stones through to the TL at -6180, 19565 ---> -11807, 17323. A short peridotite trail leads to a direct tunnel to -11774, 17328 ---> -11336, 10430. This is the Lava TL, and a ladder is being worked to the surface, but not completed yet.
North TL chain: About -1, 192 on the road, you'll see a trail of peridotite stone on the West side of the road. Follow it down the cave until -44, 208 --->-2981, -6845. Follow the tunnel to the end at -2964, -6830 ---> 1426, -10216. Follow the trail of claystone stones through the cave. There is also blocks of glacier ice to assist with this as well. 1471, -10171 ---> -2249, -14818. The claystone stones continue to the cave entrance and a trader is near the ladder at -2279, 14889---> -5476, -10396. This last TL doesn't go anywhere at the moment.

Why is there a bucket brigade?
spring cradle
Because people kept stealing buckets from the kitchen and tannery, I presume.
Honestly my take is it’s the drifters armoring up. We’ll see the buckethelm version any day now.
slow surge
Looking at classes, what does wild crop drop rate affect?
And does animal loot include milk? I suspect it does, but want confirmation
long comet
Looking at classes, what does wild crop drop rate affect?
Wild crop drop rate affects only the drops of wild crops so you can get a greater amount of seeds early game, animal loot affects butchering, you always get a full bucket of milk when milking sheep
Essentially malefactor has a far easier time in the early hunter gatherer stage by foraging wild produce and can make a meanigfully large farm very fast
Late game the foraging comes in handy when gathering resin for mechanical power systems

I only have the buckets i made plus one from the wind Smith

I was doing a lot of squishery
I know nothing about what happens in the forge but I'm pretty sure there were two in the kitchen last time I checked
dawn moss
i made like 6 milk buckets so i could steal one from the pile with impunity any time i needed one without feeling bad
plus we seemed to be perpetually low on buckets
tropic yacht
lol we made two so we won't have to cross the water to return them, speaking of which would it be okay with people if we set a dock up on the west side of the town, and if so where would be a good place for it 🙂 we are slowly expanding a channel on this side for boats to pass through and it involves a lot of building terrain then removing it slowly to avoid those eddys
wispy swift
Lost lake isn't particularly big Dark, and I already have a large dock set up on the South bridge. I personally don't see a huge need to have multiple docks set up on those two sides of town. I have a small one started on the West side of the South road by Wyn's forestry that I can expand on if needed.
tropic yacht
okie thanks

I hadn't been up to the trader on the bluff since early exploration. It's great to see how much Lost Lake has grown since then!

so what happened?
wispy swift
Yeah, our flax stocks took a hit this winter with the making of one and a partial set of the reindeer herder clothes. At least those are the ones I know of. I wasn’t sure if more than one set was made the first time through. As to the cheese experiments, the lantern that was encased the first time is now on top of that cellar. Light from those kinds of sources seems to be able to go through walls, and even if that’s not affecting it, it’s probably still not low light enough.
wary vapor
We'll have to make sure to plant the full stock of flx seeds this year and get two full harvests out of it

In other news, I did find another luxury trader Bentham!

hahahaha of course
How acessible is it?
wispy swift
Taco planted the entire flax stock last night.
It’s a little bit distant like the first, but not quite as bad because most of that can be done by water. I forgot to write the coordinates down outside of the game, but if you take the next leg of the South chain Agra connected up, there is a direct tunnel to it now if you go into the tunnel to the right instead of taking the ladder up. When you get to the surface on the other side you are on a this strip of land, if you go by water take the South side and pretty much just go directly West and you’ll hit a landmass in the general area of the trader. It has an oak tree just on the bounds of its claimed site in the front.
wary vapor
Nice!
wispy swift
I should probably make a stone trail like the North chain for that tunnel now that I’m thinking of it.
wary vapor
I do love that peridotite trail 😆
rotund dragon
is it possible for a trader to not be acessable?
wary vapor
Entirely inaccessible, no, I was asking in terms of how easy it is to reach them from Lost Lake
wispy swift
Yeah, the other two artisan traders I’ve found recently are “accessible”, but are in highly inconvenient locations outside of our current TL or road networks making them less ideal to check regularly.
wispy swift
I've updated my TL list with the new additions to the South chain, and what I'm probably going to refer to as the West Link. #1353169187173961778 message

so I think just 2 hares are enough to clip through a pens if they only have 1 tile of space between them and a fence

It's not just the hares. The pigs have regularly been getting out as well despite a significantly larger pen size.
rotund dragon
that means the trough is agains the wall
long comet
It's not just the hares. The pigs have regularly been getting out as well despi...
the pigs though have much greater numbers and do crowd on the edge of the pen
the main problem with hares is that when I expanded the pen to a reasonable size somebody shurnk it back down
and sombody keeps reducing the numbers of hares to just 2
which gives us no margin of error to lose them
wispy swift
I just saw a few pigs wander out, despite having a recent culling and a lot more space being available. It anything, this would suggest there are ideal pen sizes to animal numbers and we aren't hitting that ratio very well anymore.
rotund dragon
what fences do you use?
wispy swift
I've even been seeing the occasional chicken ending up in the apiary despite there being a second fence to get through? And I don't think there are too many of us going in there on the regular.
rotund dragon
also maybe an outer fence with some space would help trap escapees
long comet
we do have one
wispy swift
The current pens are made with 1-2 high fences depending on how much a given animal was escaping their pens with the snow the winter before last. One side in general does have a second layer of spaced fencing, although it does not wrap fully around any of the pens.
long comet
Help, I tied myself with a rope to myself

It might just be worth setting up full block walls around the hares. At least until we have a proper breeding population at gen 10.

So I've been doing some testing and some training on the eidolon
and I've got a plan
The next time Dapper Deldritch is up, I can take a group of people to the resonance archives and have them wait outside the boss room.
I'll drop into the boss room, kill him down to 5% or so, and then have everyone else flood in and mob him.
I've got enough practice in to confidently kill the eidolon solo with just a bit of healing
Sblibbo, Darkwytch, and a67shadow were kind enough to help me test this plan on the Lost Lake server.
strangely, the boss's health did not go up when they joined the fight.
We only got one head out of it, though
(by that I mean eidolon elucidatory vessel, but who has time to type that out?)
.
if I remember right, the first time the dapperlings took out the eidolon there was... maybe 5 heads for 25 people? So maybe a low drop rate is to be expected.
I think I heard from somewhere that one head is always guaranteed, but multiple heads drop at a low chance.
.
I also tested and confirmed that he respawns every week, so we can kill him about every six real-life hours
.
Hopefully, however the code works in this game, the boss will decide what to drop according to how many people are attacking it when it dies, so flooding the room at the last minute will help drop more heads.
.
Every head is effectively worth 50 gears, so this'll help folks get their elks.

if I remember right, the first time the dapperlings took out the eidolon there...
At least 11, if I don’t remember wrong.

@blissful cipher okay the eidolon was killed with Shelab, rye, 124, Suomi, Niko, and myself present. He dropped only one head ><
When we next kill him, BooPuLoo has volunteered to join me to try killing him in a different way; we'll try both starting the fight together and killing him down to dead the more normal way. If his health increases with this method, that would be a strong indicator that his loot drops will also change.
For science!
If some other gladiators want to join us, that would make for better data.
I started the fight a bit too early before the others had arrived yet at the RA. I killed him down to 5% and then stalled for time at a safe spot behind the eidolon. It was three minutes of fighting, and then 15 minutes of fighting off locusts ><

I'll be able to farm eidolon heads without assistance, so long as the armor doesn't disappear from the armory. I can scrounge up the little healing that I need. Thank you for the thought, though.
This reminded me of another issue: Your original list of people who wanted elks for the expedition was made before Aavak took a break for his back. Some of the people on that list may not have returned after the break.
For example, at some point in the future: if we have five people that still want the elk, and five previous winners of the wheel haven't picked up their elk gear yet, then should we just redistribute the winnings?

I remember back when I took my own plunge into the abyss, I was able to hold my own and fight and kill lots of nightmare mobs, but they came at me constantly so I just didn't have time to skin the corpses so I didn't get all the gears I could have 😦

PSA: check growing conditions before you plant a seed.
For example, turnips can handle temperatures between -5 C and 27 C. The coldest time of day is 4 AM, and the hottest is 4 PM. Also mind that temperatures will shift with the season, so the temp range will shift up or down as the turnips take time to grow.
They also use N nutrients, so the farm plot needs to have decent N nutrition or the growth time will slow.

Not counting Bentham’s recent gear acquisition while I was in Lab, I know there are two heads ready to go (thanks Hoshi!), and enough gears for 4 elks with the discount.

wary vapor
Yeah it turns out that if you dig out a super wide chamber with a totally flat stone roof, a cave-in can propagate basically indefinitely across it
It feels like there's like, a 99% chance of cave-in propagation across a flat surface like that
So it just keeps going till it gets a bad roll
knotty helm
experience from the iron mine here, the (relativly) flat surface just collapses locally, instead of the entire thing
which makes me think if a collapse is triggered, the chain-collapse spreads in a pyramid-shape downwards
it would explain how me digging in the area above the market excavation traveled all the way trough market hall, i was way high up compared to it

Yeah, you might be onto something there

@blissful cipher Last Saturday you said you would be interested in seeing if more people showing up for an eidolon fight would trigger more heads to drop. Do you want to make that a firm plan for this Saturday? If we want another max-participation eidolon kill, people at Labrador will need about an hour's warning to prepare and travel.
I don't remember the in-game date we ended on last Saturday, but I did write down that 4 Oct @0400 is a week after his last death, and I remember feeling that was about a real-world hour away when the server shut down.
steel crater
I did some testing on a single-player world with god mode to speed up time. After killing the eidolon ten times at exactly 00:00 of the first day of the month, he always rezzed on the eighth day plus a random partial day: as soon as 02:21 or as late as 23:54, with the average being 12 hours.
So for the sake of planning eidolon kills, the safe bet is assume it takes eight days to rez.

My map of the road
I took a bunch of screenshots of my map yesterday and for a somewhat related project I found a progrom that stiches them together so I'm working on this map to see how I'm changing the road

quick solar
I will have to have a look
oh I'm picturing some kind of chiselling

chiseling was 32x32x32 right? or 16x16x16

Why?
quick solar
oh the anti aliasing was on a drawing software I love and I'm used to using but when zooming in instead of seeing the individual pixels it put antialiasing on and it's a blurry mess
quick solar
My map of the road
I was using it to plot out the road based on this map which of course if I zoom in far enough is a bunch of pixel but pixel that have meaning and I can read
if it wasn't a blurry mess
and this was something that has annoyed me in the past and I was fed up so I was trying to do something about it
but there is no setting to turn it off so I was having to come up with more and more isosteric solutions
like decompiling the program looking through the source code and exterminating the anti aliasing code
quick solar
I now realised I was having a slight manic episode
I feel better now
and a friend pointed me to a program that is close enough to the one I use that doesn't have anti aliasing
rotund dragon
glad you're doing better
quick solar
ok I finished planning out the new road path
I'll essentially be making a highway
A very direct route to labrador
the old one will stay in place and be marked as a scenic route
if you just want to go from OC to Lab the highway will be great
It will only have 2 major turns
in addition to that there will be 3 areas of more windy roads that I can't really change
Those 3 areas are:
The road connection monument
Mokkun's Inn and Resonance archives
The underwater tunnel
I don't have a very good image of it but I got this
this is an option
I'm not making decisions yet
blissful cipher
That looks amazing!
nocturne magnet
Seems I will have to really get the food ready for the workers for that road, and hunt for materials to atleast be abl e to supply some tools... hope my place is not to righ blocking hte way, and not far off, so travelers still can get food.
quick solar
Oh I'm making a point of leaving your area intact
The changes are on either side of the tunnel
It's sorta like A roads in Britain if my memory serves me right that go pretty directly from town to town but when they reach town they merge into normal roads
just popped into a creative world for testing signs and I really wish the hand book had sections like the creative mode has
like just this
the tabs we have as well but then maybe a toggle that turns on these tabs for filtering
Seems like I will need slate rock blocks
rotund dragon
Seems like I will need slate rock blocks
Oh no now there's going to be loss memes everywhere
wispy swift
I've learnt slate is just a really nice rock in general for chisel work. As a note, don't forget about the wattle and daub blocks. They provide a different set of shades, and when done at a solid application, have pretty uniform colouring across the block. Sand blocks can also be chiseled and can have a more even colouring as well for another option.
quick solar
oooh good tips
wary vapor
Plaster is a useful block too, it's a super uniform white
quick solar
I was thinking of doing them in monochromatic because that should be good for everyone regardless of colour blindness and means it's a easier process but I will explore the possibilities for multicoloured ones
rotund dragon
Plaster is a useful block too, it's a super uniform white
it's a pain to get though
quick solar
my first round of designs will be in slate and claystone with slate being the main component
wary vapor
You can buy plaster in bulk for cheap from building materials traders. Once the elks are all paid for I could start providing a steady supply
wispy swift
This would be an odd block to throw out there, but in terms of reflectivity at night, a border of glacier ice will be picked up by a lantern from a good distance away and could be useful for highlighting a sign.

wispy swift

I was thinking less as the font type, and more a border around the edge of a sign instead. I wouldn't expect it to work as well if there is any block behind it.
wispy swift
I know the slippery qualities of glacier ice are lost when chiseled, so it would be interesting if the reflectivity is also lost.
quick solar
I'm planning on having at least a candle on them
or oil lamp
but a single candle lights it up enough
wispy swift
if we're going there
could glass be interesting?
Glass is transparent, and I don't think light picks up with it the same way as glacier ice. I like using blocks of it for cookie crumb trails when cave diving because you can spot the ice down the tunnels whereas I don't think glass does the same.
quick solar
Very simple turn sign at night

@wary vapor You are a legend - I think there may also be a head somewhere from Hoshi's most recent boss run, which would mean we are 3 heads and 50 gears away from completing the expedition list. I think next time we should try and organise a big group to go and get as many heads as we can. I can then make a list of the very patient non expedition people who waited for their elks, if people would be interested in continuing it for a bit, through it might be at a slightly slower pace.

I have to bring it down as Hoshi got another run in shortly before server shutdown, but there will be two heads ready to go for the start of the next stream, along with enough gears for five discount elk, inclusive of those two heads. One of the heads has already made it to Lab.
wary vapor
My strategy with both Lost Lake and OC is to draw out a calendar, visit all traders that are close and of value and note down when they reset. Every time I visit each one I mark it off for that week.
I laid out a bunch of tool moulds in redsmithy and cast tin bronze and bismuth bronze picks, shovels and falxes for treasure traders and hammers, axes and ingots to be worked into sawblades for building materials traders. I keep them in my inventory as tool heads because that lets them stack, and I assemble the tools as needed when trading. Using onions I make yellow, then orange dye, and dye leather in batches of 8, which makes a stained leather poncho that many traders buy. I also carry normal leather and flax twine to craft gloves and boots to order, and make longbows and leather reinforced shields for the treasure traders. Then I grab whatever gems redsmithy has acquired for artisan and luxury traders.
Traders only restock so many gears per week but as I trade tools to them I can buy items that resell elsewhere. Treasure traders sell paintings, for luxury traders, gems for luxury and artisan, and cracked vessels which sell to commodities traders at a profit. I also buy their treasure maps, which often reward clothes that clothing traders will buy. Building materials traders don't have anything you can resell but they do have a very good selection of rare, or fiddly to craft materials so I yoink some of those. Anybody want to make a roof out of fire clay roof tile?

blissful cipher
Everyone online, everyone offline, the only people it wouldn't ping are people who've expressly muted (at)everyone pings.
lethal canopy
I wish Discord had something in between. Like everyone in this forum, online or offline
blissful cipher
The reason I don't use them for the community server if I'm not streaming, is more people care about watching me play it, than playing it themselves. Or, put another way, an everyone ping would poke an order of magnitude more people than would care that the server were simply online, but I wasn't streaming it yet.
Yeah, me too agrajag. In fact I just checked to see if there were any updates on that front, but sadly no. It's still all or nothing :(
On the flip side, since I bring the server up on more of a 'schedule' than I stream, anyone who's interested in playing should know to check here on Saturdays every couple of hours if it matters to them.
tough thunder
Not sure if it's really worth the effort, but would it be possible to make a 'community game night' specific role. For people who are interested in the ping?
