[TROPHY MOUNT] Patch Suggestion

[Riitoken]

Having recently begun my first new game in 2 years, I am playing thru the early progression.

I got a boar trophy early, but can't mount it because the build piece requires bronze which requires a smelter.

Bronze does not seem like a logical requirement for a wall mount that could be made entirely of hardwood.

I actually did not know bronze was required. But I can report that, for the early game, this counts as a missed opportunity for early player reward. I say this because trophies are just a simplicity. They don't do anything but hang there.

So, I say trophies should be mountable almost immediately.

It requires a bronze nail to build. Bronze isn't that hard to get. But you're right, since you don't get any benefits from it why not make it easier to make. It would be nice if the trophies added to the comfort level, at least one point for hanging any trophy. Especially the boss trophies, where you need to kill them a 2nd time to get the trophy.

Unless you find a sunken ship or cheese a birch tree to get fine wood (the game equivalent of a hardwood) early you still need a bronze axe to cut down a birch or an oak tree.

I chop beech trees and roll them into the birch trees to knock them down & break them up. Doing this I usually skip the first bow & go right to the finewood bow.

I also should have said that the trophy itself and the desire to hang it did not provide any motivation to go get the bronze.

In other words, I was not suddenly super stoked about dropping everything just to go conquer a bronze nail. Thus, my motivation to increase my personal investment in my first base was derailed by the bronze nail requirement.

Perhaps the metal nail is warranted for a boss trophy head should I kill a boss a 2nd time. But a boar head should hang just fine on a wooden peg.

Let us be real and notice that I put an entire wooden home together without any concept of nails. So whatever magic dust is binding those walls can certainly bind a boars head.

Once you defeat Eikythyr and raid your first Buried Crypt, obtaining bronze is easy (as is copper and tin, obviously). It's not that hard and then you can mount all trophies you want.
However... I would like a sharpened stake object you can mount a head on. Is that kind of what you were thinking? Seems like 1 piece of core wood to make a sharpened spike would do the trick. Mount your head on it and let it be a warning to the other Greydwarfs to stay away! lol

You can't get anywhere without bronze nails. Literally. Since they are needed for the karve. Bronze is also really early game.
