Suggest your Tip of the Day!

Development
1

Hi guys. I’m on stream now adding a “tip of the day” feature. Basically this is a message that will pop up in the loading screen, for example: “Your settlers will get a better night sleep if you provide beds for them.”,

If you have a suggested tip, please add it to this thread. I’ll compile all the tips into our big list o’ tips to add to the game.

Thanks!

note to @Tom… @jonzoid noticed an error in the tipoftheday logic:

I thought something looked fishy about this during the stream. Is there a category for future bugs? :wink:

random will never be 0. That means the first tip in your array will never display.

Try it:

Gives 1, 2, 3 as possible values (what your code is doing)
Math.ceil(Math.random() * (['a','b','c','d'].length - 1));

Gives 0, 1, 2, 3 as possible values (use floor and remove the -1)
Math.floor(Math.random() * (['a','b','c','d'].length));

Merry Christmas, @Tom!

Remember, you can strategically place roads to increase the walking speed of your workers!
Using the different view modes makes mining easier!
TIP: you can make winter coats if your workers get cold!

I suggested ‘Use larger fields for slower growing crops to keep your farmers from being overworked’ But I guess that might be too complicated. Maybe if it was reversed

  • Berries night and day? Vary your food options for happier citizens!

  • Suit up your workers and dress up your homes. The weaver’s workshop will really spin things around!

  • Trekking for that much needed item? Sort your stockpiles to keep useful stuff where needed!

  • Running out of materials? Top up your stock whenever it dwindles with the ‘Maintain’ command.

I feel like this guy having written these:

Be aware of minimum and maximum sizes for stockpiles, farm fields, trapping grounds and pastures.

Sorry, at first I didn’t notice the new minimum size for the trapping area because its color was also red. But it shouldn’t be necessary to change the colors so a tip similar to this one might be good.

  • [In case there will ever be anything like a tax] Tax the raccoon farms.
  • There is no cow map. There aren’t even cows.
  • Heavy caution is advised when digging through the bottom of the map; injuries may occur.
  • Your hearthlings can eat and sit on a chair at the same time.
  • Remember to take all things in moderation (even Stonehearth)!
  • Before you hit the ceiling, be glad to have one.
