But, when you look at your villagers with your hourglass eyes, aren’t they already really old, and thus already about to go? Ah, it must be an efficiency thing.

Yes, we want to add new people too. But till then, people won’t die unless you go (on average) 3 days without food. Which is something like an hour, in game.

If you’re really worried about death, you can turn off starvation in your user settings:

“mods” : {
“stonehearth” : {
“enable_hunger” : false
}

thanks a lot!! but i’m not really worried about them diying, in fact, i’ve played without gathering food just to see how they die: if the pop, or if there’s a scary sound when they die, or if a voxelized reaper comes and kills them…

But if they’re going to die, there should be some way to replace them… or it’s this a test for the “game over” screen?

I guess the population update will come later on; Anyway,Gj with the update!! the game also looks much better!

There will be a way in the future, but right now, Team Radiant enjoy making us suffer.

That’s a good thing! Helps the team, and keeps the forum games at bay. Praise Raya.

Edit: New favourite bug:

[Avairian]

What did you do? Cut down the tree of life? O.O

[Teleros]

There goes Yggdrasil .

Wait… you know what that means…

Goes off to free Loki & Nidhogg

[thorbjorn42gbf]

@thorbjorn42gbf runs in panicked
"We have some very angry elves on the line." He hands the phone to the nearest person which is @Avairian who hears the angry voices of some people coming from it.

@Teleros We haven,'t had a winter lasting a year yet (or the one lasting a half). Sorry you are not allowed to free them yet

"Moshi Moshi. Ane. . . Nihongo o hanashimasu ka?

[thorbjorn42gbf]

Okay i give up on trying to understand that. Walks out and continue my Rosetta stone japanese course

I am literally crying with laughter. Check out this thread, @not_owen_wilson. Are you really sure we want to fix this bug?

[Alfie]

Maybe you can fix it and add a rare Tree of Life that spawns sometimes. Then it takes ages to cop and drops one of those logs… which is equal to 100 regular ones!

If not then I may mod it in.

Edit: I still haven’t been able to mod in bacon crops. Is the UI for the crop selection only set to the current 3? (or two, is the first option even a crop?)

[Relyss]

The first option is for leaving the plot empty.

You can ADD crops to the picker by calling:

stonehearth.farming:add_crop_type(session, ‘stonehearth:tester_crop’)

Where tester_crop is whatever crop you want to add, as defined in a manifest.

I can’t wait to see a bacon crop!

[Alfie]

I’m assuming I may have to use a bit of Lua (or code) for this… wellp, no better time to start learning the language kinda!

Edit: I thought I found a solution that requires no coding language knowledge but nope. I don’t suppose there are any .luac files I can copy over and edit, @sdee?

[Petard]

I like this update. This update is nice and pretty. Do it again.

[Smokestacks]

There are some bugs that that are essential to be fixed for the final game. I don’t believe this is one of them.

[Alfie]

@Petard

This update is nice and pretty.

Especially the Omnipotent Logs.

Ah, I thought of a non lua way to add a crop. Use a mixinto to add your crop to initial_crops.json

[Alfie]

I’ve already tried that… I must be doing something wrong. Let me see if I can go figure…

post what you have… maybe another few sets of eyes can see where you might have @Geoffers747’d…
