Stop letting use be able to just pick up poison dart frogs with "E"

[Oedipus's Stepdad]

Have the times I die while just trying to pick up sticks and sh*t in the jungle when I can't see anything, this is really F*cking stupid and game/imersion-breaking

[Jaunitta 🌸]

+1. Its annoying becareful when you see them around your area kill with spear and leave lying on the ground slows respawining.
These dart frogs are a left over from the Story.
Now we have centipedesas added in as well from SOA.
Its not game breaking to me just keeps me on my toes.
Reminding me this is the jungle with lots of critters that can kill us when we dont pay attention. Adding Goliath spider rattle snakes Caimon puma stingray acorpions piranah. Oh yeah :)

Since the Animal Husbandry update, there's a lot more of them, too.

As Jaunitta says, you need to stay conscious of their presence if you're living around them. In new areas, have a good look around to ascertain if they're present or not.

Incidentally, if you treat the wound/fever promptly, they won't kill you.

Why would you pick up stuff in the jungle when you don't have a clear vision of what you pick up? Of course it's dangerous to just touch everything. You're talking about immersion but blindly pressing E while running in the jungle is not immersive. Just be careful when pressing the button, what to grab.

Its survival so yea noobs with pain will learn on thier mistikate xDDDDDD

How do you guys have x-ray vision that lets you see every single piece of stick that you've cut down from a tree in dense jungle? Honestly this isn't too much of an issue for me anymore since I've started using the crafting-carry exploit, but still this is immersion-breaking for a game that stresses realism.

I can see how it's really annoying, but sticks -- even at night with no light -- have a white outline around them to show their shape whenever you're 'targeting' them before you press 'E' to pick them up.

I mean, a stick doesn't really look like a frog. At least, not to me.

No, but the frogs can "insert" themselves in the split second between registering the stick & clicking on it. I still get zapped by them this way sometimes, & I have many hours in this game. All it takes is letting your mind wander for half a second, coupled w/ bad luck.

I went to pick up some bamboo logs and a yellow frog, from behind, jumped as I reach for the 2nd one, right between my hand and the log and I was had.

cute frog there Hunterkiller XD

Thanks.

My problem is with the sticks that look like frogs. I've kissed so many sticks.

Stop drinking that looney juice and frogs don't turn into Princes. That's only in fairy tails if, your a little girl.

+1, apparently while you're holding logs you can still pick up poison dart frogs, unlike any other items, cause I just lost several hours of gameplay getting poisoned while picking up a third log. I'd love to be able to disable them, ideally without sweats interjecting about how great they are and people shouldn't enjoy the game they bought the way they like.

I get the frustration, have died myself doing it. However I think it is intended and the game is a meditative exercise in mindfulness. You don't just run around mindless spamming E.

You have to slow down. You have to use your ears. Observe your environment carefully, know what things are. You need to know what species of plants are, the behavior and benefits / risks of everything around you.

You have to clear bushes and see what is around. Hear croaking? Kill poison frogs first with a spear and pick up things without obstruction or use the crafting or tab inventory screen.

Just prepare yourself...


...put a pot/shell on the fire, cook water, add tabacco leaves to it.

And now all of a sudden frogs aren't bad anymore.
