last time I checked a poll isnt an argument. 1769615387 no one makes a game start to finish without feedback from other people testing the game.

To be fair, your choices in Obsidian games are dialog options that dictate the outcome of the game, not stat choices in a vaccum. I think it's fairly obvious what my poll options mean. We also live in age of hyperlinked ? marks to give you a detailed description if a name isn't enough. How can...

I 100% agree, but as I see it as a player since A6, I can sincerely say there has never been a consistent direction from the devs. That majority of major updates have done 1 of the following: Scrapped a beloved mechanic or Introduced a watered down version of a previously robust system What...

With millions of players the easiest way to get an accurate reading of what the majority of players is to push an update that has a poll at launch. Log each keys response so no one can vote more than once and tally the votes. I know of many games that use polling to guide dev. A - LBD for all...

if you are going to implement a big change like this, TFP should being doing so based on community feedback or we are just in the same boat we've been in for years. One driven by ego and not guided by concensus.

Feature creep certainly can make a game dev cycle become infinite, but to be fair chicken coops have been a topic of discussion since I first discovered the forums 10 years ago. the apiary was unexpected, but people have been asking for a chicken coop as far back as I can remember. Its just such...

as someone that owns raw land and has built his own house over the last year, I do believe survivalist and nomad are getting confused in that statement. a survivalist does everything they can to make surviving easier. this includes things like chicken coops and apiaries and also planting seeds...

I can understand what you mean. I play 95% solo when I play, so anything that let's me put a portion of my daily duties on auto pilot so I can focus on what I "Want" to do vs. what I "have" to do is a win. The good thing here is I don't expect them to reduce honey drop rates or nerf chickens so...

I went 21 stumps in a row once without honey. I thought the game was bugged because that seemed absurd until it dropped. Having something that makes it while I am focused on other things is a win. I think the biggest issue is when we access it. By day 7 I typically have 4-5 honey from...

this is interesting, I hadn't considered using the item improves crafting. that completely eliminates the spam and encourages game play decisions. I think that is really well thought out.

I failed to mention that magazines would still give you XP towards the next level in crafting in my original post. The point I was attempting to make was a magazine should be required to go to the next level and spam crafting is not only discouraged, but counter productive at the end of a tier...

A simple way to avoid someone spamming stone axes to level up passed tier 1 is to diminish crafting xp for each new crafting level in a tier and finally remove crafting XP for an item once you have reach legendary crafting in that tier. ie. Stone axe lvl 1 crafting 100% xp Stone axe lvl 2...

You only understand the instructions because you have experience with the tools. Do you know how many people that don't know what a Philips head screwdriver is? Why... Because they've never used the tools. You have experience, which allowed you to "understand" the instructions. Without that...

Here is a personal example. I was never taught how to play music. I didn't take a single class until I was 20 in college. What I learned was how to read music and what the names of the chords were. At that time I had already released two albums of music I had self recorded and mixed because I...

You can read a 100 books on Kung Fu, but until you throw a 1000 punches you aren't a white belt yet. I don't know about you, but I have met PLENTY of college educated people with degrees that have no real world experience and couldn't apply their "knowledge" in a meaningful way. You can't build...
