NESCraft

Can I get Warrior instead of Charm, then? Kinda opposites, but I feel like it would be a nice boost to survival.
 
Hey Daft, is the pond empty of fish now, or is it still full? IF it is still full, how much (turn wise) is left?
 
Thanks :salute:

Ideas for more traits? Just let me know!

I would like to change Charm to Waterborne if you are implementing trait change this turn

1 AP on gathering mostly more stones, but also a little sticks on the way. If possible, it would be nice to put all non-crafted materials near the camp for the time being, but it is not important
1 AP on turning some stones into Stone Tools
1 AP on using Stone Tools to finish building clothing. If possible, save a tad of Hide to turn into a belt at a later date.
1 AP on going to the river and fishing yet again

Free actions: Turn on fire at night and cook the fish. Eat by the fire.

Just picking up stones and sticks is a free action if they are within easy reach. Stones can be gotten from the riverbank in the north, just keep an eye on the bears. Thus you should have an AP left over for sleeping...

That makes me wonder how Daft is going to handle human children in this NES. What genes are they inheriting from what parent? Are they inheriting skills too or are they required teaching? In Pokémon (lol) breeding within the same egg group will produce a Pokémon of the mother's species with the skills of the father.

I think the ideal would be to simply go 50/50 for each of the parent's visual attributes - hairstyle, eye color, hair color, skin color... Or perhaps skin tone and hair color could meet at the middle. Skills would be something that needed teaching. (Needing AP.)

I haven't quite decided yet! I may chat to Iggy and some genetics-minded people about this. I am thinking of a mix of realism (recessive and dominant genes) combined with a little fantasy regarding crazy hair colours and etc.

I think children should be born with at least one special, innate trait, that can be passed on through genetics. But there will be at least one turn of childhood that will be a good time for learning skills in-game.

Is shagging a free action? Or perhaps one could not bother to make any effort and just get it over with? Does it cost extra AP to get the woman off?

Taboo subject maybe? :) I may leave this ambiguous ^^ if players of different gender sleep together / spend time together at the same location, and don't seem to object to each other, then nature takes over. But it shouldn't be an AP action to 'WooHoo'. Unless both players really want to make an effort.

I talked to a couple of people on NESchat about this, and I was convinced that there have already been NESes with royal marriages and etc, so it wouldn't be such a big deal to have another NESer's baby inside of you :lol:. But, please everyone, don't feel obliged to go and have children. I've put the option into the game, hence the different genders, but its up to you how this NES evolves. It could be interesting to have the whole genetics side of things, but I don't want to railroad players into it.

But conversely if you are female and don't want to get pregnant, you should maybe stay away from those 'charming' types especially :p

EDIT: i mean more sexy than the usual pandas- so let me rephrase:

Are there any particularly sexy pandas near Pandaholme?

I think human-human relations may be tricky enough subject as it is (!). Although Panda People would be cool :lol: But basically no, the mana spirits would not look kindly on that sort of thing.

EDIT: Also, can one person collect enough food for multiple people? I assume yes since I wouldn't be able to eat a whole deer by myself.

Yes indeed, you can stockpile food. You really need to craft yourself a basket/backpack from hide or linen though, because you only have two hands on you. And then you need to guard it from hungry animals. Perhaps someone will also invent pottery or somesuch. Dwellings like Immac's can be good places to store food also, though the bigger animals may still cause problems!

Hey Daft, is the pond empty of fish now, or is it still full? IF it is still full, how much (turn wise) is left?

On the scale of the map, it is actually a substantial little lake there. When you see the fish icons disappearing, you will know, or I will mention it in the update. After a while, the fish may get too scarce to make spear-fishing worthwhile, but they won't suddenly vanish.
 
Replace Digger Trait with Animal Lore

Seon:

1 AP: GET THE HELL out of the tall grass and craft a replacement spear for self-defense purposes.

1 AP: Climb up a tree and take a break. We'll just have to look for food once the lions give up.

NEW ORDERS

I would like to switch my Crafty (ie. Inventive) to Warrior please, making me a bravehearted warrior.

1 AP - Craft Stone Tools with rocks at the bottom of the hill I'm on.
1 AP - Try murdering the hog on the hill to my south for food, using the flint knife included among the Stone Tools. ~ if its multiple hogs, try to scare them, and then take on the closest.
1 AP - Sleep in the cave at the base of the same hill.

In the morning, before the sun is at its strongest, you venture to a group of cactus you have seen not far away. Clawing at them with your bare hands, you take in some water and refreshing cactus pulp, but you also gain painfully sliced and pincushioned fingers. You retreat to the shade of some rocks as the sun reaches its peak in the sky, where you find yourself drawing symbols on the rock with blood and sweat from your fingers. In the cool of the evening, you set out to explore in a random direction, which turns out to be westwards.

You find a way down from the hot plateau, entering a dry plain. Haze and mirage clear from the horizon; you see green plains to the north, hills and tropical forest to the south and west. You stay clear of a couple of lions as they have a stand-off with a large buffalo-like creature. You keep going as far as you can through the cool night, being frightened by the noise of hunters on the prowl in the darkness, before finally collapsing at the base of a small tree.

Before you can recover your strength, day dawns and a swarm of migratory parrots descend on the area, squawking loudly and mercilessly into your eardrums. You are rather hungry and exhausted. You have 2AP (-1 tiredness and hunger).

Hmm...

- Snap off or gather a decently large branch from the trees and sharpen it with a gathered stone into a nicely pointed spear.

- Use the spear to hunt parrots in the trees for food. If unsuccessful, try to take on something less deadly than a lion, or even [preferably less deadly than] a panda.


I like my traits as is! :)
 
No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!... PANDAS ARE NOT DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!!
 
No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!... PANDAS ARE NOT DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!!

Considering the direction your missing panda traveled from day 0 to 1, I wouldn't be surprised if that is it.

Yes that is a panda head.
 
/me pouts.
 
yeah 'cause i find you with panda fur i'm gonna cap yo a$$ (EDIT: or fall in love)
 
1AP - Forage from all of those nearby plants in the south, maybe make friends with the panda but if it looks aggressive stay out of its territory. Use anything I can't eat to cover my tender lady bits and avoid sunburn.
1AP - Use my stone axe to begin chopping down one of the trees for long pieces of wood/branches.
1AP - Use those pieces of wood to assemble a lean-to. Failing that, climb in a tree and sleep the night.
 
Sorry, can't make the next verse for this update. :(

Spoiler Situation :
Angst

udbSIOg.png


In the morning, you craft yourself an artistic set of stone tools using some colourful stone. These tools make the afternoon's foraging somewhat easier. Mushrooms form a large part of your diet for today, and while this is filling, something about them seems to upset you. A sense of anxiety grips you as night begins to fall, as even the giant geese by the river seem to be stalking you. Much of the night is spent with visions of a darkened wilderness full of nightmarish beasts, screeching with demonic fury.

Spoiler Mushroom Trip :
But, the terror passes. A sense of calm descends. You see a globe spinning beneath you, the entire world; you see visions of other places, of strange and wonderful creatures. You see visions of other people, and a myriad of wonderful and terrifying experiences that may yet come to pass. And you know that whatever happens, all is well. The Great Light lies beyond, ever loving and welcoming. You know that your True Self shall never be lost, nor abandoned, but can only ever grow from its experiences.

You awake on a hill, on the other side of the river, shivering from a night exposed in the cold, with no recollection of how you made it here. You have 2AP (-1 cold, tiredness and mushroom hangover).

[1 AP] Move to the pine tree to the north while Carefully avoiding wolves and megageese and Forage around it Carefully.
[1 AP]Rest in the pine tree when it gets dark.

Descending from the plateau, you craft yourself a spear and enjoy an afternoon's fishing, finding yourself a sheltered spot by the lake. Today at least, your spear aims true and you fill your belly with raw fish. But as you look for a nice tree to settle in for the night, you run into a foraging dire-boar, which seems to take offence at your presence. Before you can react, it charges!

You manage to hold it at bay with your spear, and it soon retreats. It is all over in a flash. But with the adrenaline pumping, it is a few moments before you realise that, somehow, you have taken some nasty wounds to your legs. You are hardy, and able to shrug off the pain, yet the night passes in some discomfort.

You awake with 3AP. With your wounded legs, you cannot move anywhere in a hurry, and it will take 2AP to walk as far as the horizon.

Lord_Herobrine

-Spend the earlier part of the day harpooning fish from the lake, all the while being attentive to my surroundings and possible dangers. Be careful not to overfish the lake and to catch only what I can eat. If any large pieces of scales remain, tie them around my legs with grass to act as a bandage and protection. (1AP)

-Choose a place beside the lake, but not too close to the tree to start a campfire. Then cook any fish I catch on the fire. (1AP)

-Climb the tree I spent last night in and spend tonight in it. Goto sleep. (1AP)
