Odd Realm Dev Tracker

Thanks! I'll take a look and see if I can get a fix into the next update.

Originally posted by Turnovus: I wasn't previously aware of the notification settings. The amount of control provided is very useful.

Another thing, I just noticed a small bug after capturing an Ardyn. The default Ardyn diet has everything set to restricted. I don't know if this is because human food is supposed to be off-limits for them, but I can give them a custom diet and they will eat it just fine.

Thank you for responding, it means a lot to be able to have a back-and-forth with the developer. Keep up the good work, I expect great things.

Edit: After going through the notifications menu, it seems that "Entity has no profession" doesn't have a setting (unless it's named something else). As far as I can tell, thi...

Thank you for the detailed and clear feedback! Capturing is very much half done. Lots coming to help improve it, especially in the next expansion because it will be a big part of the Ardyn playable race. I'll be focusing on tuning and tweaking the system.

I didn't know about that Nequhtli bug. Thanks for letting me know! You should be able to disable Nequhtli notifications for profession in the settings menu if it's becoming a nuisance. I'll address these capture related bugs for the expansion.

Cheers!

Thanks for the feedback!

Are they just standing around, or are they moving about doing other things? Usually what keeps settlers from doing a job is that they are busy doing other, higher priority jobs.

If you place a Vault room, the Ren will spawn there instead.

So how do you get settlers to do jobs when it seems like they have everything they need to do a job (items, zones, skills) but won't do it?

Big dog with horns.

Oh! Good thinking! That's definitely what happened. Settling a previously settled town will indeed spawn a bunch of hostile entities. That's the only thing I can think of where that many entities would spawn while the threat rating was set to never.

Hmmm, when it's set to never, you shouldn't be attacked at all. Silly question, but did you apply the settings after changing to never? I'm sure you did, but it's easy to miss.

This is a strange bug because 15 is such a ridiculously high number, outside of spawning at all. You'd have to have a population of 60 to get that.

I'll do some more tests to see if I can reproduce this myself. Does this happen to you every time you start a new settlement?

Ok, I'm finally able to read your write-up!

Stockpiles
100% agree with your points, and this is next up on my list of to-do's. I'm going to add exclusion options (blacklist) and priorities.

Meat/Leather
I think a nice middle ground is a job in addition to those individual jobs which can use any of those items to get going. i.e., a general "butcher" job.

Coal
It's funny you bring this one up because I was JUST thinking about it the other day and how weird it is to be in the Wood Mill, and that it should use the Misc Skill. I didn't make those changes because I was so close to shipping the beta out to live, but also, I'm not sure what room to put it into. Any ideas?

Cages
I agree here as well. I have plans to add a 'hunt/gather' room and I think cage baiting/capturing would fit into this nicely.

Unit Pathing
Hmmm. Could be a bug. I'll check it out. They should be moving down your paths. My math could also be incorre... Read more

You can continue to play the beta. All the new stuff for the next expansion will start to roll out there.

Thanks Kyrros! I haven't had a chance to read through this yet, but I'm sure there is some great feedback here. I'm going to read this in the morning. Cheers!

Yes, it's a planned mode. You can currently use the debug tools to build anything you wish if you just want to design settlements.

To do so:
1. Hit ` to open the debug console.
2. Type 'paint true'

This should bring up a list on the right of all the objects in the game you can place.

Hello!

Thank you for the interest in the game. Once 1.0 is out, I will be focusing on localizing the game to as many languages as I can manage. Japanese will be one of the languages I will work towards adding.

Thanks again and hope to be able to do that work soon!

If you're playing the non-beta version, you'll get attacked by bandits when settling untamed or ferocious tiles. Try looking for peaceful tiles where you won't encounter them.

Not yet! Have anything you'd like to see it used for?

Those ratings are no longer a thing as each tile (in beta) now shows the types of events you'll encounter. So, if you see, "Bandits Sighted!" there's a good chance you'll be attacked by them. Those events are the same as you'd encounter under the ferocious rating.

You have to capture wild animals in cages. Based on the animal's evasion, they have a chance to be caught when they walk over a cage. You can also lure animals by placing food they eat in a cage. Once an animal is in a cage you can use the Capture job on the cage. The success for taming an animal when using the capture depends on the Tame skill. You can actually capture bandits and non-animal NPCs this way too.

Sorry that this is quite hidden. I am just adding in tooltips and UI to communicate that stuff this week. :)
