Solved'n'fixed bug reports / [Fixed - persists in 3.80b] Zooming inside the western wall of fortified village

« on: May 07, 2023, 12:45:22 PM »

If you enter a fortified village from the western side on the zoomed out map, you end up on top of the wall in the zoomed in map.

Gameplay questions / Disabling the zoomed out map

« on: March 12, 2023, 12:53:26 PM »

Would it be possible to disable the zoomed out map or change the keybind for it? I'm going to try a challenge where using it is forbidden and I just know I'll accidentally hit enter out of muscle memory... Disabling the proper map would be nice too, but I don't think it'll be that much of a muscle memory thing as pressing enter.

An extra cool thing would be if it could be modified so that you could only use the zoomed out map when you're on a mountain tile, as you would see farther there naturally.

Burning down houses still can be done, but you need to set multiple fires side-by-side and then it may spread.
Few decent fires beside the wall should get the house burning. But it's more like the villagers should react to this sort of firemaking eventually with stronger actions than just shouting - that is, if they witness you are the one who did it.

Ah, I see. And yeah, it has always been a very lucky endeavor to get even that one fire burning because the villagers notice and do turn physical very quickly (understandably). So we have the same experience there for sure.

How did you manage in this, and was it with some previous version? They oughta warn you few times first, then ask you to leave, and proceed with almost an immediate attack if you continue with breaches. I did a quick try and managed to start two fires before getting attacked.

I covered a house completely with branches and slender tree trunks (put them over the wall tiles) and then sneakily started a big fire on an adjacent tile. Then after getting shouted at I just waited and watched the fire spread and eventually burn the whole house down. But yeah, it was a long time ago on an older version, and now that I tried it on the current version I couldn't get the fire to spread at all. Has there been changes to how that works?

Suggestions / Villager exploit fixes

Some suggestions after finding a couple of quite nasty exploits involving villagers:

• Villagers should be able to put out fires. It is possible now to trap a whole fortified village by setting a fire on the entrance tile and shooting the villagers down one by one through the fire. I've also been able to burn down village houses without the villagers doing anything but shout at me. (It would also be neat if the player could put out fires, but I'd say villagers being able to do so is more important balance-wise at the moment.)
• Villagers should react to violence even if it doesn't involve the (current) village members. After hiring someone from the village you are able to kill them instantly in the village right in front of the villagers. This contradicts a bit with the villagers not letting you hire them before the first companion has returned.

Not bugs / Returning already eaten food

« on: October 08, 2017, 12:33:06 PM »

When you take food from a village and eat it before anyone asks you to pay for it, you get it for free. When someone finally comes up to you and asks for payment, you can "return" the food by choosing the chat option "I am not able to pay. Take what is yours." while maintaining the same hunger level (so your character doesn't just vomit the food out). Villagers shouldn't accept back items that you don't actually return.
