General Discussion / Flocks of Birds?

« on: March 02, 2022, 05:10:59 PM »

I just caught 5 black grouse in the same area in the span of hours. Is this flocking behavior normal? I have never seen this before.

Thank you for the advice to kick the birds. I got a fin skin the first time I kicked a tufted duck to death.

Gameplay questions / Profiting off birds

« on: February 23, 2022, 10:29:35 PM »

So in my current game I have been doing a lot of trapping and I am building up a big pile of bird leather. My only problem is that it is almost all harsh. I would like to make leather clothing for trade, but harsh leather is no good for making trade-worthy clothing.

My questions:
What is the best way to kill trapped birds to obtain fine leathers?
Is there profit from trapping birds for leather?
Is there another avenue of profit that I am overlooking from birds?

Thank you.

I'm an expert at spears and so my hunting is always with javelins. I decided to practice my bow and arrow... it was real bad. I stood 5 tiles away from a trapped bird and couldn't hit it.

I have been watching a lot of unreal world youtube videos. I noticed that most of the content is 2+ years old and I haven't seen a lot of active youtubers doing unreal world. Does anyone have nay good channels they would suggest watching? Thanks!

Yeah, I am always trying to check the njerpez out with look before I engage to see what they are packing. I think this seems like the safest possible strategy, but not fool proof. Oddly, the dog and the njerpez were on the same tile and I couldn't see what he was carrying because of that.

I recently got brave enough to take on a Njerpez, easily won my first battle. I am well armored, green everywhere except face, and I am an expert with the spear. I fight by throwing javelins until my enemy is close and then using the northern spear. I was considering fighting another Njerpez, but he is accompanied by a dog. Are dogs difficult to fight? How much does the dog add to the average Njerpez's fighting chances? Thanks!

Sorry to revive such an old thread, but I found it because I heard a thud! I heard the thud "in the west". The only problem is... the west was all water... 

Not sure what could have thudded in open water.

Thanks for the advice PALU, do you just completely encircle your crops in traps?

I have a trap fence that I'm working on along a treeline, so far no dice, but I will try and incorporate more than just trap pits in that trap fence line

Awesome, Thank you. That clarification helps a lot. I had read somewhere else that someone had the approach that they make a circle of paw-boards around a central bait pile, so I had tried to adapt that approach.

Do you have any advice for how many traps should put in specific locations?

Gameplay questions / Trapping advice

« on: March 30, 2021, 06:34:34 PM »

Hi, I am in my first year of trapping. I have had some success trapping fowl in small deadfall traps, but I would like to make trapping a major part of my income. I have been laying paw-board traps trying to get foxes. My strategy has been to put four traps around a piece of bait, in some cases I have a small deadfall trap with the bait. I put a set of four traps at each tile along this river. So far its been about a month and nothing caught. Do you have any advice for making this approach better?

Here is my finished cellar. Mostly surrounded by fences, but I put a few traps on the off chance that I might catch something

Are animals more likely to try and take plants than meat from a cellar?
