Re: [3.82] lippo can't use axe from the ground, has to be selected from inventory
Minor bug: When making a lippo, it didn't autoselect the handaxe I had on the ground, so I had to pick it up in order to craft it. Hmm. It seems the autoselection isn't initiated in this and few other cases if there's no required item number specified - although it naturally is assumed that one tool is needed. You can fix this manually by editing Lippo requirements in diy_glossary as follows: Code: [Select] replace {Cutting weapon} <Axe> '+(to shape the pole)'

Another lost dog situation [solved]
I'm settled on an island of ~7x4 tiles in the middle of a lake. I have six dogs. I was out looking for herbs and the dogs were with me. At some point, back at my settlement I noticed that three of my dogs have gone missing. They were not leashed and there is a fence surrounding my homestead. I can still call the three missing dogs but they won't respond. I can call them on most tiles of my island and some anjacent water tiles, so I'm assuming the doggos are somewhere on the island. Can't find them however. Any suggestions? I miss my pups. edit. So I found the dogs. I took my punt and systematically called them at every water tile adjacent to my island, and located them to the sout-east quater of it. I then started combing thät quater up and down calling them every now and then. Finally I got a responce "you hear a creature barking in agreement..." Followed the bark and found my pups stuck inside a square of trees. Never seen that before. I had to fell a tree to get them out. This has never happened to me before, but I used to keep my dogs leashed until recently, after growing tired of constantly leashing-unleashing them/tying them to trees.

Re: Running on Linux-ARM (it can be done!)
Is there any chance we can get native aarch64 builds? Box64 is neat, but it's buggy and slower than native performance. It may not be too hard to produce aarch64 binaries (hopefully you aren't doing any x86_64 asm or other arch-specific things!), but obviously since the game's source isn't available I have no clue

Re: Add cooking with wooden bowls
No*, but I don't think it's supposed to be a ceramic pot. The game icon, it's price tag and especially the fact it's within the scope of metal items one can order from your local blacksmith suggest an iron pot. On the other I'm not so sure on the importance of the oven's passive heating for cooking now. Another archaeologist said that when Finns switched to heat retaining fireplaces (sometime during the Viking age) there was switch to outdoor kitchens in kotas and similar. *Apparently, iron age Finnish ceramic pots were fairly smallish generally, at about 1 litre (but up to 4), and were glazed with ferriferous clay or bog iron limonite.

Villages should keep their water sources free of ice during winter
It's not just matter of having to smash the ice yourself, I can almost never find the things during winter since they blend in with the snow.

Re: Add cooking with wooden bowls
Matti as Im updating BAC again do you have more details to share? Going by the instructions from there for the modern day traditional dish from Lemi: https://www.maajakotitalousnaiset.fi/reseptit/lemin-sara-etela-karjalasta The tub is carved from birch or aspen, and is sized to the oven. It's then soaked in salted water for "weeks", which is said to help prevent cracking (reminds me of the salted water treatment given to kuksa, traditional wooden mug). After this it's treated with sheep tallow. For the dish itself, salted mutton or lamb (1kg salt for 10kg meat, so were are talking properly salted for preservation) is rinsed in water to remove excess salt. A heat retaining over is fired up. Any cracks on the tub are patched up with combination of water and flour. The meat is placed on the tub and placed in the oven, with few pieces of alder separating the tub from the bottom of the oven (this both protects the tub and imparts taste, alder being traditional smoking wood in Finland, I guess just branches would be closest URW equivalent). It's cooked in the oven for hours (as many as 8), with meat flipped halfway through the cooking and Note that this is a "dry" dish, even if the meat naturally releases liquid to the bottom of the tub. I suppose we can assume the tub can handle the in-game stew type dishes as those contain minimum water, but no idea how it would hold up with a soup. @Plotinus I suppose one could take a stance that the iron pot shouldn't even exist in the game, it's a very complicated thing to hammer that kind of thing together from wrought iron. I'm not too sure it would be easier to take care of such pot in real life. Taking that kuksa as example, it's arguably easier to take care of than modern carbon steel cookware is (wood is somewhat hygienic material naturally, as it tends to absorb moisture from the surface and bacteria don't like being dehydrated).

Re: Sauna instructions and usage
At minimum, the sauna mechanic requires: sauna stove; an ordinary fireplace isn't adequate for the purpose
water for steam
In general terms for the game's setting, when the weather is freezing a sauna bath becomes the main method of maintaining hygiene. Although hygiene as a system isn't modeled in the game, using the sauna gives a boost to the player's health in terms of wound/illness recovery rate. (For symptoms of poisoning, you're basically sweating out the toxins.) Applying a vasta will buff the health benefits, so it's a good idea to stock up on birch twigs when they're in season during the summer. Since the game performs checks to wound status once a day in the morning, a daily sauna regime could help when you require it. December 16, 2023, 10:31:30 PM |

In the real world at present-day Savo
The year is nearing its end - so let us send you our winter season's greetings with this post. Firstly, we wish you all the best with the festivities and holiday season you might have at hand, and happy new year! Then, as a season's speciality let us entertain you with little something recreational from the real world at present-day Savo. The winter has come, and for the devs like us it means the balance between coding and cross-country skiing must carefully maintained. So, a week ago Erkka came over for a visit - and we went exploring the real world on skis.   Over the years, we've found ourselves doing many kind of media works more or less related to the game world or inspired by the iron-age culture. And now, quite spontaneously, we ended up doing small stop-motion animation - and then though of publishing it as 2023 season's greetings at Enormous Elk YouTube channel. There's more, and surely more sophisticated content to explore, if the channel wasn't familiar to you already. We call it Tanssivat tontut in finnish, which would translate as Dancing goblins or Dancing household spirits in english. https://youtu.be/du2pkQUN9Fg?si=aOPZkYand2qcKmFW And lastly, for myself the last weeks have been more busy with horseback riding and archery than coding. In early December I did three horseback archery demonstrations at different stables which required quite a bit of both time and energy. But hey, sometimes one has to ride a horse to endure extended still sitting periods in front of the computer. And maybe it's good for one to try out the bow for real if he intends to simulate archery in the game. So, this also falls into category of in the real world at present-day Savo. Let the bow skill speculations start  https://youtu.be/oPaZKJluLDQ?si=vAzUS2KX986sx7ux Let's see you in 2024, with all sort of new achievements, features and adventures to follow in the real and unreal world. Cheers! December 17, 2023, 06:46:33 PM |

Re: Cheat a "permanent" companion?
Update! Pietu stayed with me for a total of 66 days. He helped me hunt at least 7-10 elk/reindeer, 5 bears, 2 lynxes, and 1 wolf. He assisted me in finishing up my giant cabin, skinning, and roasting meat. Even though mechanically he didn't, I like to pretend he also helped me harvest my 700kg of turnips  At the end of our adventures, when time came to reward him, I tested how many goods he wanted. I gave him a northern spear at some point and couldn't get it back because he was wielding it, so I'm not sure if that item counts towards the final value. He seemed totally satisfied with 120 pieces of dried elk meat. But for roleplay purposes I ended up giving him a fine bear fur, 50 dried elk meat, the aforementioned northern spear, and a bear tooth necklace. I like to think of us as good friends and I'll will be visiting him every once in a while, since he lives in a nearby village. Next goal is to find another NPC companion and keep them around for a whole year! January 01, 2024, 02:07:50 AM |
