Horse and cart?

[Leezeebub]

Please tell me later in the game i will get some kind of transport which will allow me to move faster and transport more than one log/stone at a time.

[Hellblade]

I don't know about cart but I've seen people carry one log/stone/ore and push around second one.

Depending on the direction, you can push a lot of logs upwards behind each other .. but side to side its hard to keep them in a line. lol.

You can build an outpost next to the marble quarry. Just plop iron, stone and wood storage and build the cutters, after that you can process the big stones into smaller ones and carry those home in your inventory. No need to push those big stones to your home one/two at a time.

Well i havent made it that far yet, but that is good to know. For the record though is the quarry that you are mentioning to the left over the bridge and then up?

[Xuhybrid]

Yes but you can just go up from your church then west over the river. No need to repair the bridge.

Well .. to late already fixed it haha. Didnt know of that other way, at least now i do.

Of course that place has its own issue. Since it requires wood wedges to get marble after you make the quarry, and you can't chop wood for them up there.

It's little things like this that keep the game at good but not great status.

Wouldnt that be too easy? Just remember the next time you go up there to bring some with you ;) I usually smelt like 40+ iron and fill the rest of my inv with marble and once I need some more I go up there with some wedges (just in case).

That moment when you don't know wth to do with all those logs from trees on the left side of the church. What a chore.

You can chop wedges, then walk up there. Why would something like this alter your opinion of the game? Are you trying to live up there?

It's a broad subject but I'll try to explain:

It's really those kind of little things that can change the opinion about a game.

Design choices that feel like mistakes or, if actually planned, serve the only purpose of having the player walk around a whole lot.

Having to bring stuff there while having the very materials you'd need on site is indeed a pointless chore.
Not all trees can be cut down in the game, those were designed to be cut, but you basically can't use them (kicking logs around is terribly slow).

For the amount of different spots needing different items, the lack of an in-game to-do list to keep track of the various items you need move around is also is, again, a bad choice (or a glaring missing feature).

The game has time-based events, so it makes sense that the stuff you do takes time.
That way you need to choose what to do, it takes a bit of strategy to optimize the in-game week. And that's good!

What doesn't make sense is handling the time consumption aspect by having the player walk around for about half a day (at least) between the various activities.
It's simply boring. Yes, I can plan in advance to still be able to do stuff and talk to villagers, but it's still boring!

There's already an energy system for that, sleeping is actually a timeskip that doesn't make you waste real time, but it's underused.


Another good example of this is farming: you can optimize everything and spend 2 whole days (eating for energy) to pack stuff. Then you need to bring the crates to the village. 2 at a time.
They sell for good money so of course you need to spend time due to that strategy aspect, but it doesn't absolutely need to come down to "walk back and forth 3 times".
It could either be automatic (and still waste in-game time, but not real-life time) or something different, even better if challenging (so less in-game time is wasted if done correctly).

TL; DR: I like the game, a lot actually, but if 1 hour of "gameplay" becomes 20 minutes of walking around and 40 minutes of actually playing the game (not that far off at this point) I'm going to do something else in that hour and wait for updates.

Well i mean i cant say i dont agree with you, but of of what happens is down by your morgue and house anyway, the quarry to me is more of a .. easy location to get stone and well at a later time marble (which i still havent made to, taking a break due to Monster Hunter lol)

If anything i'd be happy if there was a horse to ride or some sort of transport to make travelling less but still require the travelling.

Am I missing something? It won't let me build wood storage there...which is odd considering it lets me build a sawhorse.

[muemura]

I want a cart too, please... There are many trees on the map, but loading the logs one by one or two at a time is very tiring.
You could expand the inventory as well, since the tools, the weapon, and the armor take up half of it.

Quick advice for the crates :
Place all he crates against the upper wall in the basement and push them all at once, sometimes, there is one that gets out of the line, but still, it's way quicker than to walk back and forth 3 times as @Darkwings said. I do it like that, it's the quickest way I found atm.
