questions and feedback

[chesdaywalker]

First, I have to say this is quite a detailed game for the price, good job! It's definitely keeping me busy. Good job developers.....

But with that said, my biggest question is WHERE THE HECK ARE THE STUPID OAK TREES? All I see is Maple and Pine.

As for feedback, I have a couple of suggestions/feedback for development to consider. 1) The amount of materials to craft something seems a bit heavy. It takes forever to gather the materials to make even the simplest of the crafting type benches let alone trying to craft any of the mining type sites. 2) it would be nice if you could sell anything to the vendors or at least the trader booth you can build near your own place. I have a lot of extra junk that I'd love to just get rid of for coins or something rather than just pitch them on the ground to disappear. The trader you can make is so rigid with what you can "trade" I doubt I'll ever use it honestly. 3) could we please have a mount rather than running everywhere? There are zebras and all kinds of animals you could use as mounts, even two mules over by the Overseer in Ur. Would be nice to have. and 4) the snapping of the fences either doesn't work or it is really difficult to use as I've not been able to get them other than manually to line up. 5) can we please use the holder on the planting square to hold water and seeds as well as the fertilizer? I love how you can just stick the fertilizer in there, but it is really hard to water correctly and this would solve the problem. And adding the ability to put your seeds in there will help expedite the mass farming I think we're going to have to do to come up with the hundreds of items and seeds we need for the ark.

That's it for now, thanks again for a fun game. Looking forward to see how it evolves and for the multiplayer aspect.

hi,

some spots for the oak tree

1) The amount of materials to craft something seems a bit heavy. It takes forever to gather the materials to make even the simplest of the crafting type benches let alone trying to craft any of the mining type sites.

this is intentional. the game is focused on crafting

2) it would be nice if you could sell anything to the vendors or at least the trader booth you can build near your own place. I have a lot of extra junk that I'd love to just get rid of for coins or something rather than just pitch them on the ground to disappear. The trader you can make is so rigid with what you can "trade" I doubt I'll ever use it honestly.

I am thinking about this matter because some others have also asked me about it.
i bet you will use the tradingpost :) at least for the leather in exchange for the cloth.

3) could we please have a mount rather than running everywhere? There are zebras and all kinds of animals you could use as mounts, even two mules over by the Overseer in Ur. Would be nice to have.

You can fly in the game.

4) the snapping of the fences either doesn't work or it is really difficult to use as I've not been able to get them other than manually to line up.

You have to aim for the edges to snap. However, I am still working on the fences to improve the snapping.

5) can we please use the holder on the planting square to hold water and seeds as well as the fertilizer? I love how you can just stick the fertilizer in there, but it is really hard to water correctly and this would solve the problem.

You do not need to water each single plant. It will count for all the plants in the crop if you just randomly, for example in the middle of the crop, water the crop.

thanks for the feedback. i have noted some of the suggestions.

Thank you for your quick response and for listening to our feedback!! Great Game.

Ok I think my game is glitched. I've been to 3 of the locations so far where you point out there are supposed to be Oak trees and all that is there are the maple ones. What do they look like? I've never found one so I have no idea what I'm looking for, but nothing stands out as a "different" tree from the maples. I can't progress further without them <sigh>.

at the lake near the village. the path to port..

Ok got them....thanks so so much. They also give the pomegranate like the maple do so I guess that's why I didn't think they were oak. They don't look much different....bark maybe....thanks again.

the fruits and trees have not much to do with the reality :) we had earlier birch which was giving pears...lol

I have a lot of extra junk that I'd love to just get rid of for coins or something rather than just pitch them on the ground to disappear.

what items are "junk" ? I'm checking the item list, but haven't found anything yet.

I have a couple other little bug/suggestions.....1) first we need an "unstuck" button. I got trapped inside the ark and had to demolish a wall to get out. 2) when you click on loot, then V to take all, please have it close the window so we don't have to use ESC to close it manually. 3) can we name our saved games please? I wanted to start another new game and would have lost all progress on the first if I hadn't realized it and quickly loaded the autosave back in again. If we could name our save games, then we could have multiple games going. 4) when building the ark/ship I could not see where to put the scaffolding beam. It didn't seem to want to fit anywhere so as it wasn't numbered, I kept going past it. I have #56 and steering wheel to finish, but I'm hoping skipping that scaffolding isn't going to break the completion of the ark/ship build. It might be helpful if the placement of the pieces were a little more clear where they should go. And lastly, 5) please give us an up/down control when we're flying. I would have been able to get out of the ship had I been able to fly more upward. And I've been dropping, then flying, dropping, then flying to go down....which if you miss the flying part you kind of splat on the ground and die <smile>.

Again, thanks for this game. It's been a LOT of fun and I'm looking forward to finishing and stocking my ark/ship and seeing what's next. Good job developers.

1) first we need an "unstuck" button. I got trapped inside the ark and had to demolish a wall to get out.

unstuck button is "alt + o "

2) when you click on loot, then V to take all, please have it close the window so we don't have to use ESC to close it manually.

sounds good. noted

3) can we name our saved games please? I wanted to start another new game and would have lost all progress on the first if I hadn't realized it and quickly loaded the autosave back in again. If we could name our save games, then we could have multiple games going.

? you can do alot of savegames and name them

You can skip them. the place is at both sides of the ship. like in the video on steam page. yeah maybe ghost showing would make that easier.

5) please give us an up/down control when we're flying. I would have been able to get out of the ship had I been able to fly more upward. And I've been dropping, then flying, dropping, then flying to go down....which if you miss the flying part you kind of splat on the ground and die <smile>.

shift = up / ctrl = down
spacebar = boost

I thought I had already added the keys to the “Basic Controls” section of the journal. But it looks like I accidentally deleted them or simply forgot to save them..lol.. my bad


thanks. i will fix these points.
