A wishlist of minor polishes and improvements for 1.0/1.1

[Ivellios]

Don’t know if anyone’s mentioned this yet, but for building templates… it’d be nice if they could be sorted (revealed) for Tier, Faction, and if you have someone in that profession like the base game ones.

I have a couple of thing that bothers me alot. Ranked in the order of (bothersomeness)

• Maybe it’s just me, but my pc specs are good and still the UI is slow. I don’t know if it’s the new weather system or what, but I have about 1-2 second delay from clicking a UI button until the UI pops up and even worse when it snows or rains.

• When I build with slabs or roads and discover a mistake half way, I either have to undo back to when I placed the thing or redo the whole thing. Where is the delete one tile/block tool?

• I’m experiencing a lot of times, that the enemy boss camps spawn on other plateaus than my town, which makes them unable to attack me. I just wait until I get a letter from the boss that he’s leaving again.

• That darkened overlay when you go into building mode… You can’t see shit. Hard to lay roads cause you can’t see where the doors are. Even harder at night.

That’s about it from me. The game is getting more and more awesome by every update otherwise.

Sadly, Hearthlings with this discontinuous roof from Raya’s Children tend to have snow inside of their homes. In fact, I don’t think there should be that much snow in a desert… Maybe we could get a rather harsh temperature drop at night leaving Hearthlings uncomfortably cold but without snow instead of a snowy winter in the desert? Would be more realistic.

Otherwise you should reconsider the roof design.

Also, I have to stress this combined view of the building editor and the mining, I know someone already posted about it but it should be rather easy to do and it would REALLY improve my building experience.

Use the hole tool.

[SnorrLaxZ]

We should add this for sure, I’ll add it to the to-do when I wake up. Thanks for the tag!

@Spirit

Being able to make the Bronze Portcullis door. (last I checked it is only available from merchants). This item is separate from the Ascendancy Tier 3 combat shrine reward portcullis.

This was removed back in the day due to various issues. I’ll take a look at bringing it back.

@Spirit

Do a pass on the unimplemented class level up rewards. Just so that you remove what will never be )

Hopefully this gets in : ). (also applies to #4)

@Spirit

A reminder that the town journal exists I feel like it has mostly redundant information and has been surpasses by the appeal system. Maybe it should be removed or proceeds to over scope becomes a display of the most common negative/positive thoughts of the town. (Or it becomes an excuse for me to learn HTML and mod it myself )

Heh, yeah, this is a pretty large ask. I haven’t looked at it much myself though I know other people have. I think there have been updates here or there, but doing something meaningful is out of scope : /. By all means, I would love to see a mod improving it ; ).

@Spirit

There are currently no uses for bug shells when hunting other than to sell them or clutter your inventory. Is it possible to turn them into more valuable ornaments with a crafter such as the mason or potter. Maybe it can be used in a fired clay pot recipe or make some wall decorations.

Absolutely! But it will likely be a mod addition. As stated above somewhere, I have started adding materials with the hopes that modders can do something interesting with them. I intended to use the bug shells myself, but it never happened : /.

@Spirit

The Season environment colors in the pallets. There are so many now, maybe they need their own section in the building editor.

This is an @Allie question, but I believe the sentiment is that modders can add these if they want them. Besides, since the building wouldn’t actually be terrain then it wont update with the passage of time : /.

@Spirit

Pet beds? I have this vague memory of a stream about assignable pet beds on a stream.

These were made, but were waiting for @linda to do something with them. Maybe we could release the models even if the tech doesn’t get in.

@Spirit

Making tier 3 accent colors for items for each civilization a separate color. For example, Ascendancy’s is currently green but Rayya’s children’s accent color could be the red items that use to be the old fine items and the Northern Alliance could have a violet/purple theme

Heh, sadly we don’t have time to make or modify so many assets : /. The red items were intended to be ‘trader only’ items (that you would never get recipes for), but it wasn’t a priority.

@Spirit

Different clothing for each class based on their race. Even if it is just some basic coloration changes because the silhouette is still important to maintain (and the models are already fantastic!).

We have this for workers, but this is a massive amount of work for all the classes. We did consider having player colors at one point, but abandoned it for various issues. It may come out as a mod sometime, but don’t hold your breath : ).

@Spirit

Upgraded outfits built by the Weaver for specific non-combat classes, or more simply make classes able to pick up the default worker outfits and upgrade their own clothes to the gold trimmed/winter version (which could be a subtle coloration change).

Again, this is a large amount of work. I actually am not quite sure if the code supports this directly, but I’m sure it could.

@Spirit

More tier based decorations for other crafters. So tier 3 (green) curtains, tier 3 mason and potter decor and, comfy bed equivalents for stone and clay would be awesome.

I agree, sadly its just a time issue : /. I’m sure modders will cover down on this one - there are many modding packs already that add a fair amount of assets.

@BrunoSupremo

From last stream, mummies instead of zombies in the desert. (mummies = zombies rolled in paper)
Cactuslings instead of entlngs, this one was already modeled by @Allie , but is not in the game files(?)

There are issues with biome specific overrides, I don’t know if we will get to the point of even looking at this one : /. Mummies also were never made - it was just a cute idea from the stream : ). We might release the cactusling files if nothing else.

@BrunoSupremo

Why the herbalist still has a saw icon in its craft button?

@Allie noticed this recently, not sure if it will get updated.

@PercydaGreat

Could we get a “food shelf” that the cook and carpenter work together to build that prioritizes the cook to store food in it. That way in dining halls and taverns. I know we have other shelves, but this would make it easy to store any kind of food the cook makes, and prioritizes it to the hearthlings to eat first.

Input bins now have a lot more options (especially food ones) to help store things easily.

@micheal_handy76_mh

Havent heard from yall, so here it is again, stock, item and loot not being picked up, here is the pic with a few new ones. Again this happen pretty fast in the game (about an 1 hour to 2 hours, random) but reloading fixes temporally till it happens again.

@max99x in case you didn’t see. @micheal_handy76_mh - it’d be better to put this in its own thread, this one is getting extremely full and a bug report is easy to miss amidst the requests.

@Ivellios

Don’t know if anyone’s mentioned this yet, but for building templates… it’d be nice if they could be sorted (revealed) for Tier, Faction, and if you have someone in that profession like the base game ones.

There is a search bar, and with the latest push (I believe) we added searchability by mod (so just type the name of the mod in - like northern alliance - and it should show you the templates you want.

@properpeanut

When I build with slabs or roads and discover a mistake half way, I either have to undo back to when I placed the thing or redo the whole thing. Where is the delete one tile/block tool?

I think you’re looking for the hole tool? That should work… but maybe doesn’t work on roads?

@properpeanut

Yup, goblin’s greatest enemy: a lack of ladders. This is an issue which we were unable to solve.

This was supposedly fixed - though sounds broken again. @Albert do you know anything about this not working?

Cheers all, thanks for posting!

[Avairian]

@malley Just a thought as I was playing earlier. . . I think it’d be cool if there was a T2 or T3 trader that sold the old style outfits for the classes

[Nikolay]

Is it really possible to add a panel with quests? For example as in WoW.
And also the autocompletion of quests for which you need to press a button in the log?

[Nikolay]

Perhaps this can be done with the mod.
Replacement of all usual beds for comfortable or for the chosen type.

[Spirit]

Thanks for the responses Malley

1. How about sick bay bed assignment? Where you can assign a bed to be used exclusively by downed hearthlings so that you can keep the bandages near them to streamline the Herbalist’s job? (There is already 2 beds in the herbalist’s template.

2. Possibly a game bug, however the heart above a footman wearing a helmet clips with the helmet for many angles and common animations.

3. Have Potions and Bandages as an option on Output bins to allow a player to place them (or display them) conveniently next to a Sick Bay bed.

4. Make the the new fragmented picket fence versions for the Flowered Picket Fence.

5. Varanus Skin is used for a number of unique recipes (potions and shrines). However, it is used by weaver’s Leather recipe which leads to it being consumed for common items. Varanus skin should be seperated from these general pelt-based recipes and bin sorting filters.

[Nikolay]

Is it possible to add item to craft query from this list by click or right click on it?

Also add a third value indicating how many things are in the craft queue?

[Wouter_Sikkema]

@Spirit

Seconding this one!
(and the one about the varanus skin)

[paulthegreat]

When wet stones and dry stones are “disabled,” they still give off particle effects (this may fall under modding since there isn’t a normal way to “disable” the stones).

@malley Just a thought as I was playing earlier. . . I think it’d be cool if there was a T2 or T3 trader that sold the old style outfits for the classes

Heh, that’s a LOT of work. But you are welcome to do so as a mod, I think it should be possible… you might need a little code changes.

@Spirit

This is something we would like as well, maybe its something we could get to post 1.0.

@Spirit

good idea, i’ll see if i can add that.

@Spirit

Make the the new fragmented picket fence versions for the Flowered Picket Fence.

If I get a little more time maybe I could figure something out, but they should still work alongside the other fences right now.

@Spirit

Varanus Skin is used for a number of unique recipes (potions and shrines). However, it is used by weaver’s Leather recipe which leads to it being consumed for common items. Varanus skin should be seperated from these general pelt-based recipes and bin sorting filters.

that’s an interesting point, i’ll take a look.

@paulthegreat

I’m not sure what you mean by “disabled”, you can undeploy them and keep them in your inventory to have them stop producing/removing water.

[paulthegreat]

@malley

I’m not sure what you mean by “disabled”, you can undeploy them and keep them in your inventory to have them stop producing/removing water.

The wet_stone_component.lua keeps track of an enabled status in its saved variables that can be accessed and changed with :get_enabled() and :set_enabled(value).

[malley]

Ah, you’re talking about manipulating the code while they are in the game? That is generally outside my purview : /. I guess as a mod you could disable them and then remove the effect on them if that’s your goal… but that’s really outside what I have knowledge of.

[BrunoSupremo]

The color of this little guy could change depending on his kingdom:

[Maethendias]

a “view inventory” thinggy… so you can look through your whole inventory to see what you have and dont have…

herbalist finally healing hearthlings

a way to “hide foliage”…especially in the north and the acsendency place it is incredibly… irritating to not see stuff in the forrest

a way to give hearthlings actual priorities

[illdred]

@Maethendias

a “view inventory” thinggy… so you can look through your whole inventory to see what you have and dont have…

Hmmm. Did you try the “Inventory” tab in the town overview window?

[Maethendias]

the more you know lol
