Why are Blueberries so heavy?

[TEAK]

Just curious why blueberries are so freaking heavy. I get about 200 of them and it weighs me down like im caring bags of concrete. Even when you inspect the weight in the inventory you can see how heavy they get.

Must be due to high levels of nitrogen in the valley.

Imo, they should have changed the wording a bit. It says 1 "berry", but what they actually mean is a handful of berries; to be more precise: 50 grams of them.

they aint blueberries. (unless the devs messed up modern poland with historical)

blueberries is an american plant that did NOT excist in medieval europe.

and billberries are on much smaller bushes.

no looking at the fact of size of bush, them excisting in the wild but starting to get cultivated (there is a group of them near each village in the game they can only be ribes.
Most ribes spieces give earlier fruit so do not match the seasons ingame.

leaving me to conclude the berry ingame is ribes nigrum otherwise known as blackcurrant or cassis berry.

why they are shown as blue ingame is an errror.. today in poland there us grown a lot of blueberry on plantations that traditionally grew ribes.. that may have caused this mistake by the developer.

Probably Vaccinium myrtillus that we have had in northern Europe for 1000d of years, just a slightly less accurat bush. Even if its said to have changed over the last 400-500 years, to be able to survive.

no.. I already said : no billberry. (billberry = vaccinium myrtilus)
-billberry scrubs are a LOT smaller than the bushes we see ingame.

Okej. So I guess all studys are wrong then, because you have said so.

As with most information from you 🤷🤦

i thought you were done with this game and were going to go share your vast wisdom with some other poor gaming group? You really should go play 7 Days to Die. The Fun Pimps desperately need your knowledge for the eight hundred and fifty millionth iteration of their alpha game.

@Morri, is there any way to flag all of their posts with caution tape or something? People actually sometimes believe them.

They're heavy because they read too much philosophy. Yes, they finally found their Nitche in life and raised their meanderings to a new Plato. I tired to Hagel with them to cease because of my Socratic oath but they didn't abate for which I give them bad Marx.

Because of their plump ripe juiciness filled with the sweetly heavy nectar of the gods.

So I guess the apples ain't apples either, because the trees are too small.

Good grief, dude. You're giving pedants a bad name.

aww well dutch did elevate the discussion I mean you reposte with scientific latin names and actual history so this is quite interesting. no clue whose correct but interesting none the less raises thoughtful question. if I was feeling better i would actually look up these plants lol ...quite fitting as much horticulture etc in the game ! should be a whole tread on plant life in the game. speaking which I watched the memorial tree video in the game and it teared me up...makes the devs awesome. cheers all ! dont clubb each other...except in love...lol

ps we had dwarve and full size apple tree orchards ... lol just saying ;)

We also have magical potions of nightvision, so dissecting the game realistically is a fool's errand.

hey kyew!
true forgot about that stuff. they have walked a decent line on suspension of disbelief and fantasy... another aspect that makes this game special too me.

yeah i liked the less fantasy stuff in this game. i found the last update sounds too magically sounding with sparkles when im picking up poop or sticks or whatever...still maybe the kids like it should be a slider for that one. personally it should should like squishy poop and a shovel scraping lol. almost every game goes way too far fantasy for me except one I know and its not family based village builder...KC I might be in the minority as you see a lot of people wanting to go to the fantasy side...

plants of medieval dynasty could be a thing! be cool if they or someone made a historical/game guide of flora they tried to depict in the game. maybe the devs make a pack dlc or put some more easter eggs of plants in the game.

Well, to be fair, even Kingdom Come has its fantasy aspects - potions actually, the same as here. But it's not too intrusive in either game for my tastes. As you say, suspension of disbelief is a relative thing for people.

It's interesting the way games portray actual creatures/items in real life. Take Green Hell for example. It's a survival game set in the Amazonian jungle, and I was surprised how accurately they portrayed the gray armadillo (which is also indigenous to Florida where I grew up). And in this game Plantain is the same shape as (what we call) Rattlesnake Plantain, though here it has a smattering of purple in the coloration of the leaves, and has anti-poison properties.

aww thats cool man. was hard to find if the plantain had a fruit lol...watched a frank taylor vid he explained it. guess we wont be eating it lol. yeah says it might help soothe muscles and similar. apparently its a weird orchid and one few plants that is evergreen in temprate winter forest

medieval dynasty is like if henry as a young man just decided to settle in another valley in a way. the two games mesh so well with each other to me, just hope md keeps getting the funding since they are so small dev in comparison, but they seem to be growing well! unfortunately no 100 million + budgets and decade development cycle ...yet ;) some aaa release sucked the air out of all the fantasy stuff recently.

wonder what a grey armadillo does ...did notice animals and bandits sometimes move oddly in game makes it hard to target em sometimes ...but they got a ton of creatures so that is good.

Armadillos root in the ground for grubs and such. They also like to dig burrows under houses, which makes them a pest. They can literally destroy the foundation of a house, so we usually kill them around these parts. They also have a reputation for carrying diseases like leprosy. It's funny though that they portray the armadillo shell as being a makeshift armor, when in reality a dried armadillo shell is very brittle and wouldn't provide much more protection than cloth. I'm curious if the Amazonian natives actually used their shells for armor.

I'd love to see a game that's a mix of KCD and MD. I think that would be a big seller. I imagine it would be huge as far as system requirements though. KCD is already pretty stout in that department, and adding all the things that make MD great would require a pretty high end PC. Maybe we'll see one in a few years. Star Citizen is breaking records left and right with what is feasible to run on a PC, so maybe it'll happen.
