Stonies

Stonies

Feedback/Suggestions
So been playing the game now for several days. I enjoy it alot. Just some things irk me and other things I wish it was there LOL.I am at Era 3 as I'm writing this.

1st thing is the Limit of Stonies under your control. You are allowed to build LOTS of houses but can only have so many people.... this is weird to me. I can have 4 houses for 4 adult stonies and 2 children. since only adults need houses this doesnt make sense to me. So losing space/resources slows you down. I would like to know where my MAX Stonie limit is. since right now none of my stonies are giving me kids anymore. since Technically right now I only need 2 houses. two married couple share their house.

2nd: Building on Renewable resources. NO WHERE in the game in the beginning does it tell you to NOT build on renewable resources. Heck you dont even knew that was renewable until after time passes maybe a day later LOL. This cuts down on you harvesting resources in any sort of quantity in the beginning. This is not so bad later as you get more space, and unlock what I call spend extra time farming resources with stonies.(where they sit on the resource for like 5 hours)

3rd: Level ups Need a bit more explanation at the start. Since my first two stonies level up went into Science and Animal Husbandry. I like to max something out so ALL points go into one skill, make specialists that way you know. Science is pretty much non existent in the beginning, while animal husbandry is not until what ERA 11.....Long way to go before that stonie is useful....

4th: Kids... Great Idea yet annoying. Go pick grass kids or go berrypicking.... Ill care about you in about 3 days when you become somewhat useful. This stage for me is the level up period for them. where I get lots of food since I tell them to pick berries/Grass for 5 hours sicne they cant really do anything else.

5th: Wish there was a Self todo "list" not the Objective thing to the left. Where I'm at I have to Expand,Level up fiber shop,Research storage,create rope. and so on. since you have Limited space in your box. This Self list that you can physically type down or maybe use a Stonie to scratch the wall in your cave of what things need to do in what order. Since I can't remember what I need to do after I went to bed and check on my stonies the next day. I have Maxed out my storage box and realize that I need more of this resource to progress this way, and more of this other resource to progress that way. Especially when things start saying I need 300+ resource just for one ITEM!!!! so Now I have to throw things away, this rolls into 6th for me.

6th: throwing things away scare me. sometimes I'm not sure if I'm keeping the number on the left or the right. since it says throwing Stack away and gives me a number. "am I throwing the left number or the right number" and it stress me out each time LOL

So far this is my list that plagues me everytime I start up the game. Great game though.
Thanks for Listening :)

Hi there :) Ive been playing a little while now and hope these anwsers help a bit :)


#1 I only build a house when they ask for it. Saves me resources, space and time.

#2 I agree ! I only have one "spawn" place for corn now, and because I had more stonies and had to build houses, I lost one place where the cabbage is.. Also when you build where there are trees, and remove the building again, not all the trees / stones / etc, re-appear.

#3 It was indeed frustrating without a tutorial of some sort, but the stonies could only pick food and materials, so giving these points to farming or hunting at the beginning, was kinda useless..

#4 Kids can pray / offer too. This way you save the adults for the work :) And with this they get experience and then you can give them other points they need when grown up.

#5 If you press the left "button" on the top left (looks like a walkie talkie ?) , You can see your current, and upcoming goals. I make a list myself and for example. Now I have to pray a lot to get cristals, I need nothing more for expanding. But I know, after expanding, I have to build another workplace, So Im allready gathering the resources for he next one.
PS: I too think we need a lot of items for 1 building. I had some trouble in the beginning, but when you can, build another warehouse or food storage, It really helps :)

#6 When you click an item to remove, usually it takes about half off. The first number is the one that gets thrown away. For example 8/10 = 8 out of 10. Try to throw away as little as possible, Or only basic resources you can gather easy, like grass and twigs.

PS: If you have the patience for some things, it is indeed a great game ! ;)
Greetz and thanx for reading..

I see the todo list, yet I notice I start grabbing all the resources required for 2-3 projects, and i'm at half for each since I max out my storage.

I also Notice that you will need ALOT, I mean ALOT of crystals. 2 for a product shrine and 5 to upgrade the circle, thats 7 right there to progress to Era 6 and looking into other goals for each Era you are going to need ALOT more it gets kinda crazy how many crystals you need. Next two kids are going to be religious. at this point it seems Like i will need to have someone praying all the time 24/7.

I agree with you it is a great game. I notice I come back to it just to see how they are doing :)

Tip: if you build on renewable resource and you need that resource later just move the building into another spot to relieve resources underneath. I do this all the time.

6) right number indicates the total number of the resource you have in the inventory, the left one is how much you are throwing away.

I have suggestion for this one for the devs: instead of choosing the number by the arrows, it would be better if i could just type the number of resource i want to throw away. Its bit annoying if i want to throw away a lot of it, thats lot of clicking.

You are also getting crystals if you get into game 5 days in a row (3 crystals on 5th day).
And if you are really desperate get stonies to make painting bundles. When you use the bundle there is small chance you already have that piece and you can change that bundle into a 5 crystal fragments. I know thats not a lot and it takes a lot of resources but sometimes it might help you.

Hey :) Thanks a lot for all your input. Even though we don't comment on everything, we of course notice feedback and forward it to our game designer and our programmers ;) So please keep on posting ideas and improvements!

Thanks for all your responses. It just feels like I'm wasting ALOT of time making paintings and praying alot. One thing that really irks me now though since im collecting resources to make paintings is seeing the animals that I cant hunt yet get in the way of me Clicking LOL. Like that bird or that turkey. when ever they move into a resource im clicking its like "INFO BOX" yeah I know stop let me click this grass bundle here. when it happens alot in a single sitting....I get the URGE. "Just you wait I'm Gonna MURDER YOU ALL!"

Just found another thing that needs tweaking. Having an ODD amount of Stonies. I'm lucky or not Lucky that I have more girls then guys in my camp. Yet now I have a girl left "OUT" She wants a mate! yet I cant do anything about it. so now shes stuck with the Red bubble of I want to amte Blotting my screen now.

i have painted ALL the pieces of the hammer pictured tag, exept 3 of them... the last non-repiting piece was a 1,5 weeks ago... since then i've done about 40 of them and not-a-chance for new one :,(

7) please, add choosing quantity of food items, that i can feed to my stonies. Example: i have 149/450 slots of food and 7 loafs of bread (50 points of nutritional value) and i loosing 49!!! point for nothing!!!! instead choosing 6 of them to feed (can i choose to eat just piece of cake or i had to eat the whole of it in real life?)

The kids phase seems like a waste until I realized i could get them to do the small things to gain them lvls and skill points for later in life. It also took me a small while to learn to specialize my Stonies for certain things. I usually have them focus on two related skills like foraging and agriculture.

just pick berries manually for such small values.

when you reach era (idk which one, i am not there yet) there will be option to make bundles for hunting, and later for religion and then for one more
lubopytna Apr 22, 2018 @ 9:47pm

maybe for such small values it can work (mushroomc too), but now i making pictures, so i have a lot of berries, small of spase, and it makes me a little uncomfortable to distract on this... (and ithese resourses have finite number and a lot of time to renew, so....back to №7)
