In online mode, he's speeded up time a lot so the workers work twice as 
fast, and it only takes seconds to collect sticks instead of minutes, 
however in offline mode the workers are lazy beggers who take ages doing 
things.  :)

Hi I'm playing in online mode where the map is the same and resets each
month with a new one.  I think there needs to be a donate feature like
in the safe zone, for example I have barley which I don't need, and if I
could get coins for it then I could afford my apple, but if no one else
is online then how are you supposed to sell things and wait for them to
be baught?  I find playing in single player mode quite limmeting.

HI,
couple things about castaways 2.

1. Its still in beta as far as I know.

2. the online development was done to a greater degree than single player
mode. so not all the kinks worked out for single player.

There is a couple things you can do:

1. reload the game. the map is random each time so look at the terrain
before you start building.

2. There are a couple cheat codes you can enter to gain a few things, money,
branches, stones to name a few. Think those codes are some where in a read
me file.

As for extra goods not showing up, that's highly possible

Hi everyone.  I've just started playing castaways 2, and my first plot
has no apple trees.  I tried to buy an apple to plant one, but was told
I only had 170 coins when I should have had 300.  I'm running out of

further away so I have room for either the residents or the official buildings

They do come back to your settlement before going back out to fight again.  
They will return to the nearest storehouse, barracks, or guard tower.  Once at 
that location, they choose a new enemy to attack.  You don't get to pick where 
they attack, but it will be the nearest enemy to one of your buildings.

They do come back to your settlement before going back out to fight again.  
They will return to the nearest storehouse, barracks, or guard tower.  Once at 
that location, they choose a new enemy to attack.  You don't get to pick where 
they attack, but it will be the nearest enemy to one of your buildings.

Hi.  So, when the fighters finish one raid, they don't come back to the
settlement; they just attack the next nearest enemies?
Thanks for explaining that.
I'm doing the mission where you have to breed twenty odiette.
Thanks.

Re: [Audyssey] Castaways Question

Hi Christina.

Your best off just not getting into that situation. The way fighting works 
is rather than you directing your fighters, they'll leave your buildings and 
go after what are at that point the closest goblins, and only when they get 
back from that raid will they launch another.
You can protect specific sections of the map by building watchtowers that 
let your soldiers and knights  launch raids from those rather than having to 
come back to your settlement each time, however at least on maps 1 and 2, 
your best off not getting into that sort of situation, by creating lots of 
soldiers and knights who can keep the goblins in check while you build your 
ship, indeed I'd recommend building the mine and smithy as early as you can 
sinse it takes a long time to make weapons.


All the best,

Dark.

Hi.  How can you get your fighters to kill the enemies closest to your

However, my fighters went after goblins half way across the map.

[Audyssey] Castaways, mission 6.

Hi list.

Anybody have any tips for Castaways, mission 6?
My people starve faster than I can feed them.

Even when I set everybody to fishing, except the cook.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Re: [Audyssey] Castaways, mission 6.

[john]

I'm not sure if this applies to mission 6, but it appears you get a random number of people on game creation. Also, setting the cook to not be a cook would be a great reason for starvation :). If you don't have a cook, you won't feed anybody, no 
matter how much food you have. Try making use of your wine (if you really need to) by setting your cook to a bartender for a couple of ticks. This will fix most of your people for a bit, but its not something you can do often without a lot of work.

Re: [Audyssey] Castaways, mission 6.

[Jeremy Kaldobsky]

Rick, how many tiles away is the water from your storehouse?  If it is several 
tiles away, the long trip for your fishermen will cost more food than they can 
catch and carry home.  If you are using hunters, make sure your storehouse is 
either touching a few forests, or is within a few tiles of forest.  When using 
fishermen, do the same thing but with water tiles.  Do you best to position all 
buildings so that the furthest anyone has to travel is 2 or 3 tiles, with the 
exception of some building projects that may require your building team to go 
further.  I hope this helps.

Hi.  I think you only get one meat per fishing trip.  Not sure how much you
get with hunters but you also have the potential to get furs when they're

I think it's time to toss a little money back at the community.  *Smiling
face*  I had posted this on audiogames.net, but since it is now offline I'll
post this here too.
Quick reminder, Castaways can be downloaded from the following link: 
http://www.kaldobsky.com/audiogames/castaways.zip


Castaways 2.7b has been posted, and it contains a game mode called 
Recorded Challenge.  This is how players will participate in the 
contest.  The game always starts you with an identical set of resources, but
after that it is up to you to survive and thrive.  You have the 
daunting task of surviving through 1 game ticks as you earn a score 
based on the things you save up.  At any point you can press Shift + 
space to hear your current score, and also list how many game ticks you 
have used.  1 ticks seems like a lot at first, but eventually you'll
start wishing you had more so you could save up more stuff.  Here are 
how points are calculated.
Knights, Rangers, Pikemen, and Cavalry 
all start out worth 1000 points for the first unit, but each additional 
unit is worth 100 points less.  Having more than 10 of any of these 
troop types will give no additional points.
All units upgraded 
with Tomes (Serfs, Woodsmen, Physician, ect) start out worth 1000 points for
the first unit.  Each additional unit is worth 250 less.  Having 
more than 4 of any of these skilled job types will give no additional 
points.
All food stored in your Store houses or Taverns will be counted.
Meat,
 Bread, Vegetables, and Wine all start out worth 500 points for the 
first item, and each additional item is worth 5 points less.  Having 
more than 100 of any of these food types will give no additional points.
Tomes stored in your Store houses start out worth 1000 points for the first 
Tome, and each additional tome is worth 250 less.  Having more than 4 
tomes will give no additional points.
Lumber and bricks stored in 
your Store houses are all worth 10 points each.  There is no limit on 
the amount of points you can earn on lumber and bricks.
When you 
first start up the game you'll already have quite a few points.  This is
normal, because you begin the mission with a lot of food and stuff.  As you
start to burn through your reserves, that score will drop lower and lower as
you work to build your town and get on your feet.  Defend 
yourself against the goblins (walls are your friend) and soon your score
will begin to rise as you produce more than you use.  The game stops 
once you reach 1 ticks, but it will still allow you to save your 
game instead of immediately kicking you out to the main menu.
Saving is important, obviously, but your save game files are what you'll 
submit to be part of the contest.  Save your game at any time, and email me
the save game file.  The score you have at the time of the save, is 
the score I will credit you with.  I will list everyone's scores here in
this thread, so you can see what you need to reach in order to beat 
them.
The Prizes:  (using the traditional, highest score is better, system)  haha
First place, $40 (USD)
Second place, $35
Third place, $30
Fourth place, $25
Fifth place, $20
Sixth place, $10
Seventh place, $10
Eighth place, $10
Ninth place, $10
Tenth place, $10
Rules:
You do not need to have a Kaldobsky Gamer account to participate.  This
contest is open for anyone to join.
Don't cheat, obviously.  Contained within the save game file is information 
about every action you took as you played.  I take these save game files and
run them through a special program that recreates the same starting
conditions and quickly plays through the entire game doing everything 
you had done.  I will use the score my program tells me, which means any
type of cheating or save game editing isn't going to work.
Don't 
give other people your save game files so they can turn them in as their
own.  The program I feed these files into can tell if the original game data
matches any of the other files people have submitted.  So if you 
play 100 ticks of the challenge, save it, give it to a friend, he plays 
the remaining 9900 ticks, and submits it for the contest... I will not 
count that.  Hopefully that makes sense.
Do feel free to discus 
strategy and stuff here to help others.  Telling others exactly what you did
is totally fine, because their random events will end up being a 
bit different.  I'd actually like to see the more skilled players 
sharing tips with those who need a hand.
Do have a paypal 
account.  I will be sending the prizes out through paypal, so having it 
is a requirement if you wish to participate.
You are able to win 
more than 1 prize!  (I'm allowing this because I have no realistic way 
to prevent it.)  As long as you

Second, can we play this on multiplayer? It would be really
interesting to see the strategies developed by people playing 
co-op on this mode.

Re: [Audyssey] Castaways By Aprone

[john]

Loaded question. It depends on the mission, whether or not your on multiplayer, if you have people to help you, how you like to play, so many different variables. What I will say is this: firstly, you really want a doctor asap. They're incredibly 
important. Personally, I always choose the strong start perk, so I get my storehouse built faster, or the defender, if I know that I will need a knight really quickly. If you want to experiment, play with the sandbox mode and figure out how you like 
to play the game.

One arguable piece of advice: don't forget that 10 people doing the 
same job for a small period of time can really help you.

[Audyssey] Castaways wild west suggestion

[dark]

Thinking about some of the messages I missed while being armless, one 
suggestion i did think was interesting was Tom's idea of having a castaways 
game set in the wild west, with you setting up a town in the fronteer while 
being attacked by indians, having a gun smith as well as a sergion etc. 

While I really liked this idea in principle, one problem I do see is a purely 
historical one, another is technological. From a technological perspective, the 
indians while a fierce enemy for a growing community still living out of their 
trail wagons, would be no match for a fully fortified town defended by riflemen 
and cannons. In castaways, one of the points of the game is that your enemies 
have, while not the same potential for destruction as your people, enough to 
literally wipe your community off the map, whether these are the goblins or 
other human cities. Funnily enough the same issue happened with dwarf fortress, 
and enemy factions were introduced precisely for this reason. 

This is a case of game balance vs history, since while historically speaking 
any new setlers with more advanced technology tend to irradicate their rivals, 
(often utterly exterminating them as with the aztecs), in a game you want a 
ruthless enemy who has the potential to challenge the player all the way 
through. 

the second problem is a purely historical one. i don't know too mch about the 
settling and colonization of America by europeans, however one thing I do know 
is that it obviously didn't go on forever, and what started out as an isolated 
community would, if they survived within a hundred years or so be a fully 
functional town and part of a very large new country, with accepted trade 
routes, centralized government, even a fully working railway system. 

In castaways, in the first mission you will take at the quickest three 
generations to complete your ship, thus meaning about 45 years or so pass, 
(even accounting for kids starting work at 12 and marrying around 16 as was 
usual in medieval communities), add on other missions and technological 
advances, and you have even more time pass, by which time a wild west 
communty's environment will have changed significantly simply by virtue of 
their being very many other setlers. 

My suggestion therefore, would be to have the game occur in an alternate 
western influenced world, rather than in the actual west, (for those who know 
the reference I'm thinking something like the alloy of lore from Brandon 
sanderson's mistborn series). 

As in reality therefore, the game begins when you take your wagon train of 
setlers who have landed on a newly discovered continent with a few supplies and 
a lot of know how, and need to setup a community. They have knolidge of gun 
powder (though they will need to find, smelt and mine the components for 
themselves), and of steam technology so could run a steam powered saw mill or 
build their own railway or factories, though this will take considderable time, 
resources and planning, and for a good few years they'll be on bare 
necessities. 

Unfortunately however, the country is also populated by a hostile race of none 
humans say call them umli (in DD days this was the name for half dwarves). The 
umli are absolutely zenophobic, and want nothing better than to remove the new 
human settlers, however they have a very irritating habbit, that of copying 
what they seee, meaning that while they are not the most imaginative of 
creatures, if those around them make advancements, they are great at stealing 
such measures for themselves. they also breed faster and live shorter lives 
than humans as well, making them even harder to stamp out.

this means they've slaughtered human settlers, by having similar weaponry and 
fire arms, though fortunately if they're beaten back it'll take them a good few 
years to renew their numbers. 

Throughout the game you setup your colony with it's farms, smiths, tailers, 
coblers, hunters and the like, and eventually get the where withall to create 
guns, steam powered factory machines for production, and even a railway should 
you build two close cities. however, unfortunately you learn that most other 
human settlements in the area have faired less well than yourselves, leaving 
you cutoff and alone, meaning you must forge your own government and 
institutions even as you colonize the new continent.

Hi christina.

All of aprones' games, including castaways can be found on 
http://www.kaldobsky.com/audiogames/http://www.kaldobsky.com/audiogames/


Also for future reference, remember that audiogames.net maintains a game 
database with over 400 games, all with hopefully correct links and 
descriptions. You would've found the download link on the castaways entry.


all the best,

[Audyssey] Castaways question

[Lori Duncan]

Hi I've just started out playing Castaways, but although my character seems to 
be working it says I have 14 others I think, but I can't figure out how to find 
them and asign them to different jobs.  My character seems to be the only one 
actually working and I can't seem to command the others.  Hope   someone can 
help.  Thanks from Lori.

[Richard Sherman]

HI,

to cycle thru all the jobs your characters have, use the E and r key.

Also, Nocturnis did a walk thru if you want to listen to it. The link for it 
is

http://dl.dropbox.com/u/13968355/castaways.mp3

And be sure to read the read me text file in your castaway directory.

Also be sure to try the sandbox feature the  first time. This way you can 
learn the game without any enemies.

HTH.

My games don't require you to install the VB6 runtime libraries, but

 Hi Christina,
 
 Yes, you can play Castaways on a Windows 7 system, but your
 friend
 will likely have to install a number of VB 6 libraries
 because Windows
 7 does not come with native VB 6 support. In short, your

 need the Visual Basic 6 SP6 runtime for Windows, DX7VB.dll,

Re: [Audyssey] castaways multi characters? and saving

[dark]

Hi Jess.

I'm afraid I'm not sure exactly what you mean with these questions.

You can only save one game at a time, sinse the old save is overwritten, 
however if for some reason you want to try several missions simultaniously, 
you can just download an extra copy of the game.


As to multiple characters what exactly do you mean? Obviously you order 
around all! your people, which means many characters in the game to begin 
with.


If you mean the named character in the game who sort of represents you and 
gets passed across to other multiplayer games,  well there's only one of 
those per game, though you can call them whtaever you want at the start of 
each game, even play a differently named character each time if you like.


Beware the grue!

Dark.

[Audyssey] castaways question

[Jess Varnell]

hi. I just started playing castaways, and I have a few questions. How do you 
cycle through the people? I keep changing their jobs without meaning to, when I 
just want to look at their stats. And secondly, how do you tell which workers 
are idle? Thanks much.

Re: [Audyssey] castaways question

[dark]

Hi jess.

E and r cycle betwene catagories of people, eg builders, peasants, all etc, 
while d and f cycle betwene individual people in each catagory. A and s 
change the job of the selected person.


You can also change jobs with control keys, for a ful list see the readme.

As to which workers are idle, that is a harder thing because of how 
castaways works. When a job needs doing, one of the correct workers will do 
it. if that worker cannot do a job they default to their secondary job and 
try to do that, for example if there are no logs to chop into lumber the 
carpenter will become a lumberjack.


The art to the game is dynamically changing people's jobs around according 
to what you need doing. If your building something and so need to take 
peasants of their usual work to build, make certain there is enough food in 
the tavern, or perhaps reassign some other jobs as peasants to carry food 
there.


If nobody is sick, there's litle use for a doctor and your better off with 
another peasant etc.


Beware the grue!

Dark.

Subject: [Audyssey] Castaways version 2.5, final mission 5 added.


 Version 2.5 has just been posted, and I believe everyone will be happy 
 with the additions. The list is long so I'll try to remember it all.

 - The toggle that lets you adjust the game's pauses from long to short, 
 now also includes an option to remove them completely.
 - If you get tired of using E and R to search through the different job 
 types, you'll be happy to know that shortcuts have been added. Hold Alt, 
 and press the starting letter for a job to have it selected. For example, 
 Alt + F would select your farmers, then Alt + F again would list 
 fishermen.
 - When you pause the game, if there are currently any backlogged messages 
 it will speak the number. So if you pause and hear the word 3 announced, 
 you will know to press the guave (~) key to hear those messages before 
 unpausing.
 - Kai provided an updated set of game sounds. A few have changed due to 
 people's requests, but there are also many new sounds that play at 
 different times. If you are using a custom Sound pack, don't worry because

 it will still work exactly the same as it did before.
 - I fixed a rare cook and bartender bug that could cause them to freeze 
 and stop serving food or drinks.
 - I've recoded many sections of code in order to improve performance and 
 speed up the game on slower machines. I hope everyone notices a 
 difference!
 - Destroying or selling a building will now close the building menu. It 
 used to require you to press escape before you were back in the game.
 - Fixed a bug that wouldn't allow any random disasters to happen in Easy 
 mode. Normally none happen, but when using the Murphy's law fault, it is 
 possible for them to happen now, although they will be super rare.
 - There is now a new rare random disaster that can destroy one of your 
 walls!
 - When using  and  to review internet chat messages, emote messages 
 would show *M3* at the end. This is fixed now.
 - Fixed a bug that could affect enemy raid groups.
 - When a baker bakes bread, it now tells you the specific number of loaves

 he baked.
 - Fixed a few spelling errors that were pointed out.
 - Victory messages are now handled differently to prevent you from 
 accidentally clearing with a key press.
 - And finally, the big news! Castaways' final mission has been added. 
 Mission 5!

 Mission 5 adds 2 new buildings, adds a new feature to 2 existing 
 buildings, a new job type, a new unit type, and 2 new resources. If you 
 manage to beat this final mission, you will be rewarded with a very long 
 story. I have no doubt that the story will get people excited, especially 
 if you figure out the connections it makes.

 I wish everyone luck on a truly challenging end to the Castaways game. 
 Please enjoy it, and I will turn my attention back to new multiplayer 
 content for the game.

Re: [Audyssey] Castaways version 2.5, final mission 5 added.

[Jeremy Kaldobsky]

I've just posted an update that fixes the issues found in version 2.5.

Version 2.6 fixes a bug that was affecting how fast firewood was used up.  Kai 
has given me the prison and survivor camp sounds, so those have been added.  
Firewood messages could sometimes repeat themselves multiple times.  Injured 
soldiers and farmers aren't supposed to be upgradable, but a bug allowed people 
to try, and usually lose their tome in the process.  Fixed the bug that could 
drain a building's supplies and even send them into the negative.  There was a 
bug in the new optimization code, and I believe it is repaired now.

No sir, this is a windows only game.  If you want to play, you will need a 
windows emulator or to run windows as a second operating system, through boot 
camp for example.

starting letter for a job to have it selected. For example, Alt + F would 
select your farmers, then Alt + F again would list fishermen.
- When you pause the game, if there are currently any backlogged messages it 
will speak the number. So if you pause and hear the word 3 announced, you will 
know to press the guave (~) key to hear those messages before unpausing.
- Kai provided an updated set of game sounds. A few have changed due to 
people's requests, but there are also many new sounds that play at different 
times. If you are using a custom Sound pack, don't worry because it will still 
work exactly the same as it did before.
- I fixed a rare cook and bartender bug that could cause them to freeze and 
stop serving food or drinks.
- I've recoded many sections of code in order to improve performance and speed 
up the game on slower machines. I hope everyone notices a difference!
- Destroying or selling a building will now close the building menu. It used to 
require you to press escape before you were back in the game.
- Fixed a bug that wouldn't allow any random disasters to happen in Easy mode. 
Normally none happen, but when using the Murphy's law fault, it is possible for 
them to happen now, although they will be super rare.
- There is now a new rare random disaster that can destroy one of your walls!
- When using  and  to review internet chat messages, emote messages would 
show *M3* at the end. This is fixed now.
- Fixed a bug that could affect enemy raid groups.
- When a baker bakes bread, it now tells you the specific number of loaves he 
baked.
- Fixed a few spelling errors that were pointed out.
- Victory messages are now handled differently to prevent you from accidentally 
clearing with a key press.
- And finally, the big news! Castaways' final mission has been added. Mission 5!

Mission 5 adds 2 new buildings, adds a new feature to 2 existing buildings, a 
new job type, a new unit type, and 2 new resources. If you manage to beat this 
final mission, you will be rewarded with a very long story. I have no doubt 
that the story will get people excited, especially if you figure out the 
connections it makes.

I wish everyone luck on a truly challenging end to the Castaways game. Please 
enjoy it, and I will turn my attention back to new multiplayer content for the 
game.

[Audyssey] Castaways and Lunimals language files

[Jeremy Kaldobsky]

Hey guys, I've had this conversation with a couple of people so I thought I 
should post it for everyone.  The language files for Castaways and Lunimals are 
actually meant so that the games can be translated in to other languages, but 
that is not their only use.  If people get creative, these language files can 
allow you to totally mod the look and feel of the game.

Lets say that one of you is up for a challenge, and you happen to be a big fan 
of science fiction and a space theme.  You could change the text in the 
Castaways language file to completely change its theme to one of space 
exploration.  Of course you could produce a sound mod to go with the new theme, 
but changing the text does so much more.  For example, each place that talks 
about hunters could be scavengers or mining robots.  The messages about meat, 
vegetables, metal, leather, and the rest could be meteorite ore, rocket fuel, 
oxygen, blue prints, computer equipment, and everything else fitting the theme. 
 As long as you changed all of the building names to match, people find 
themselves sending Frank (pilot's name) to mine a nearby meteor for ore which 
is then shuttled to a refinery to be processed into neutronium panels.  In the 
normal game that was Frank the lumberjack cutting down trees that were turned 
into boards at the saw mill.  The
 possibilities are endless, and there is no reason that the game couldn't' seem 
like an entirely new game by the end!

Of course the true map layouts and mission objectives couldn't be changed, only 
reworded, but I still think it would be really cool.  Instead of building your 
ship you could be building a space station, Yetti assassins could be rebel 
terrorists, and in mission 3 you might be placing mine fields between clusters 
of meteors and giant gas clouds, to keep space pirates at bay.  If you hadn't 
already figured it out, that would be building walls around the trees, rocks, 
and water so that enemy cavalry can't get through lol.

Lunimals could cease to be about raising animals in a dome.  Maybe with your 
mod you are actually growing rare plants in a greenhouse, growing illicit 
substances in your basement, or a mad scientist unleashing nightmarish monsters 
onto the modern world.  If you have the freedom to rename even the land 
resources like moss and mushrooms, there is no reason it couldn't be describing 
sections of a city, how many people live there, and how many cars there are.  
Cars?!  Well I don't know what else you'd want to track, hahaha, but that is 
just an example.  smile

It would certainly take some creativity, but I would be absolutely thrilled to 
see what people came up with!  My question is, how many people would actually 
be interested in making mods like these?  If several people were anxious to 
give it a try, I think it would be cool to have some kind of contest!  Please 
post your thoughts.

I'd be ore than willing to try out one of those, though the 
creativity to make one myself is a little beyond me. It's a great 
idea, though.

Subject: [Audyssey] Castaways version 2.4


I've FINALLY! gotten around to posting the next Castaways version.  The biggest 
change with the new version is the handful of 
bug fixes.  I've also finally updated the language file so that translators can 
change the game's text to fit with their own 
language.

Even though I strongly recommend against it, rofl, the game's population limit 
has been increased from 500 to 1000.  This has 
been requested many times so I will give the people what they want, even though 
the game will undoubtedly run very slow with 
such a huge population.

Goblins and Zombies can no longer attack the ship in the water.  I've fixed the 
bug so now enemy troops will not spawn at the 
edge of the map if a wall is already present there.  I think I've solved the 
recently reported bug where resources were 
vanishing from certain buildings.

The game now pauses when you reach messages about soldiers dedicating their 
lives as the more advanced troops.

I've added in a sandbox mission which is especially designed for new players to 
familiarize themselves with the game before 
facing any enemies.  There is no way to actually win while playing the 
sandbox mission, it is only for practice.

The new language file can be found here.  
www.kaldobsky.com/audiogames/castawayslang.zip
For those who aren't aware of how the language file works, here is a quick 
summary.  Every piece of text in the game has been 
written twice in the file, starting from the longest message down to the 
shortest.  Leave the top line exactly how it already 
is, and use it for reference as you translate the next line.  The second copy 
of the line needs to be replaced with the 
equivalent for the language you are working on.  When you are finished, rename 
the file language.txt and put it into your 
castaways directory.  If you've created the file correctly, the game's dialog 
will be displayed as the new language.  The 
language file can then be posted for others to easily download and experience 
the game in another language.

I haven't put the suggested ALT job keys into the game yet, but I intend to do 
that soon.  I also haven't added the option to 
remove all pauses from the resource messages, the end of mission status sheet, 
or the new multiplayer stuff.

Re: [Audyssey] Castaways version 2.4

[Jeremy Kaldobsky]

I think my person best was like 60 or 65.  There are some truly insane people 
though, who have crashed the game because they passed its 500 population limit. 
 I simply cannot imagine how many messages you would have to go through for 
every single tick of game time.  My hat is off to them, lol.

Oh, I had some time this morning so I coded the ALT key shortcut for jobs.  I'm 
also in the process of programming mission 5!  :D  Hopefully it won't take too 
long for me to have this all ready to post.

Managing a large population is not difficult. Your food and resources will 
just get more and more and you will become a supplier for other online 
players. haha! After some point when you get things settled down, to play 
the game is just simply hitting the space bar to let it carry on running 
when there is injurys or illness. When playing a real game, I don't see a 
need to create such a large population. Now I want to see how many people my 
computer can cope before it becomes sluggish and crash. haha!

[Audyssey] Castaways: idle military units?

[Christopher Bartlett]

Ok, I'm armpit deep in zombies with raids coming, and I have idle military
units.  At the moment, I have an idle bowman.  I have an idea that the game
may not use more than five of each type defensively.  Is this correct?

Re: [Audyssey] Castaways: idle military units?

[Jeremy Kaldobsky]

There is no limit on the number of defensive units you can have.  First make 
sure you don't have territorial turned off, press T to turn it on if it is off. 
 The next thing is that if you pause the game, you might be seeing idle troops 
who would be heading back out to fight but you just haven't unpaused yet for 
them to have the chance.  If neither of those are the problem please let me 
know.  Also a saved game would be good to help me track down the problem.

Re: [Audyssey] Castaways version 2.3, mission 4 is here.

[Jeremy Kaldobsky]

Nice work Christina!  I was hoping to capture some of the feel from mission 1, 
but also try to still give it its own unique place among the missions. It feels 
kind of like a mix between missions 1 and 3 in my opinion.  I haven't tried 
beating it on normal yet.


 I just beat Mission Four on easy
 mode.  It was a lot of fun!
 Thanks!

Re: [Audyssey] castaways suggestion for disposing of useless people

Hmmm, I think that would detract from the strategic decision about how much
to specialize your work force, since the only downside to doing so other
than the cost is the loss in flexibility.

Re: [Audyssey] Castaways: mission 4 and raids.

Mission 4 doesn't have any use for the raid tent.  If you're on multiplayer you 
can build the war tent, but it would only be useful for reinforcing other 
players.  You'll need a general for that.

Re: [Audyssey] Castaways: mission 4: invaders not moving.

[Jeremy Kaldobsky]

If there is no way to get to your buildings, due to walls or even too many 
zombies crowding the land, then they will patiently wait until there is.  In 
mission 4 there isn't any centralized enemy to raid, so the war tent is only 
useful for reinforcing.

[Audyssey] castaways suggestion for disposing of useless people

[alex wallis]

Hi list.
Just a thought, I am in the middle of playing castaways mission 4, and I 
had an idea for population control.
at the moment, we have the ability to destroy buildings, and I think it 
would be cool if we could kill off parts of our population in the same way.
for example, I am at the stage with stocking the ship, and I only have a 
handful of peasants, but I have a lot of useless upgraded people of 
various types.
so rather than wasting time building more houses, it would be good if I 
could dispose of these useless people for the greater good of the 
population.
that way I could get new peasants etc without having to feed the useless 
architects etc.

Rofl, that's an interesting idea.  I wonder what everyone else thinks about an 
option to kill off your own people.  I definitely understand the reason for 
wanting it though, haha.

Subject: [Audyssey] Castaways version 2.3, mission 4 is here.


The version 2.3 update has finally been posted, and it has quite a few new 
features that will keep people entertained.  For 
starters, I must again apologize for not having the new multiplayer mode ready, 
but each day I get a little closer.

I fixed a few more small bugs, as well as another piece of the tome bug that I 
had apparently missed the first time.  A few 
errors were fixed that caused the game to crash for people using unregistered 
files.  The debuglog.txt file is a little 
better now, so it should log more useful information in the event of a game 
crash.

Monks had a bug that caused them to sometimes ignore their tome writing duties 
in exchange for leather working.  This is 
fixed now.

If you move over a closed building on the map, it will now say the word closed 
after the building name.

I've added a clearer mission objective to mission 2's introduction.  Some 
people were getting confused about what exactly was 
required of them in that mission.  Hopefully it is easier to understand now.

The upgraded fisherman job Bait master has been changed to Angler, to make it 
sound a little more accurate.

With all of the new sounds, some people will want to lower their volume so that 
they can hear their screen reader better. 
Hold shift and press brackets [ and ] to raise or lower the sound effects 
volume within the game.

I've added a new feature to the main menu, which allows people to select a 
custom sound pack.  Rather than actually replacing 
the sound files, people making their own sound packs can simply create a new 
folder within the castaway directory.  Populate 
that folder with your own sounds that match the names found within the original 
sounds folder.  As a sample I have included a 
folder called oldpause which is a tiny soundpack that just changes the pause 
and resume sounds back to how they were in past 
versions.  You'll notice that I didn't have to use any other sounds except 
pause and resume, since the game will 
automatically look back to the default sounds folder for any missing sounds 
from the custom sound pack.  To try out the small 
soundpack, set it on the main menu by typing oldpause where it prompts you for 
the sound pack name.

Another feature on the main menu is a toggle called pauses.  By default it is 
set to short, but if you change it to long, the 
supply messages Z X C and V will use periods instead of commas.  Some people 
like the messages how they have always been, but 
a few people have had trouble since the comma pausing isn't long enough for 
their screen reader.  Hopefully this helps 
everyone have what they feel is easiest to understand.

Farmers can now be upgraded using tomes.  Upgrading farmers is a lot like 
upgrading soldiers into the different troop types. 
A menu allows you to turn your farmer into a Gardener, a Wheat farmer, a 
Winemaker, or a Shepherd.  The upgraded farmers get 
a boost to their working speed, and will also focus their efforts on only their 
particular skill.  Gardeners work in 
Vegetable farms, Wheat farmers grow wheat, Winemakers work in vineyards, and 
Shepherds work in animal farms.  For a while now 
people have wanted to divide up their farmers into specific duties, and now you 
can.

Mission 4 has been added!  Prepare yourself for a vicious new enemy that will 
force you to call upon skills from your past. 
In addition to a tricky new enemy, plague becomes your first viral foe.  The 
longer it takes you to complete the mission, the 
higher the risk that your people will catch the disease.  If the illness wasn't 
already bad enough, each person who is sick 
with the plague raises the odds that more of your people will catch it.  You 
had better keep on top of the situation, or you 
could quickly find yourself overwhelmed with dying citizens.

A new type of building has been introduced for mission 4.  The Tudor house is a 
larger home able to support 7 people instead 
of the usual 4.  The buildings are more expensive than using normal sized 
houses, but if space is important to you, the Tudor 
house may be your new best friend.

I wish everyone luck on the new additions.  Have fun, and I will continue 
working whenever I have time.

Re: [Audyssey] Castaways version 2.3, mission 4 is here.

[john]

	I really like the soundpack idea. This could turn out to be 
something where people could distribute various packs, and see 
what everyone likes best. I could even see some kind of 
competition coming out of this.
	The plague already sounds difficult, though it might be 
beatable with a lot of doctors. I've never been one for making 
houses (they're a waste of valuable resources when I can beat the 
game with the starting number of people (at least on easy)), so 
I'm ot sure how much I'm going to use the new building.
	I really like the idea of upgrading farmers (this was 
something I thought was missing from the last version). The open 
and closed being mentioned probably would have been more useful a 
couple of versions ago as  the sounds now demonstrate whether or 
not a building is open or closed.
	Overall though, I certainly think this will be an 
improvement once I can get around to downloading it.

Hi list.
is there a use for the catapult in mission four?
I don't want to waste time or space building it if it doesn't have any use.
I'm sure I can find a use for the other buildings.
Thanks in advance.

Whoops!  I was supposed to remove the catapult from mission 4's building list.  
Thanks for spotting that for me, and I will have it removed in the next update. 
 There is no reason to build a catapult in mission 4.

I do have plans for at least 1 more single player mission, possibly more.  
There are also plans for a special multiplayer mission that can only be played 
as a team online, and I have plans to make a new multiplayer mode which will 
allow people to form teams and battle one another.  I desperately want to add 
these things, but of course I cannot actually promise that they will all happen.

I wall in a section of land using different terrain features such as forests

Rick, we should be able to help if you can let us know which mission, which map 
(default or alternate), the location you are trying to defend, and where your 
walls are being placed.  There might be a hole in your defences somewhere and 
we can help you find it.

John is right, since the enemies appear at the edges of the map, you certainly 
wouldn't want to seal yourself in up against a map's edge.  The walls will 
perfectly defend you as long as they are used properly.

 If that's the case, then to me walls
 are almost not worth messing with.

Re: [Audyssey] Castaways and walls.

[john]

One way to build walls would be to put them on y instead of z, so
enemies could not get by. In my mission three game, I sealed in 
my settlement, leaving both column z and row 32 empty, and all 
the enemies have to mass outside of my walls.

[Jeremy Kaldobsky]

I've been busy, but Kai sent me a complete sound pack for the game today, and I 
found time to code it in so that I could post it as soon as possible.  The 
update still doesn't have the new multiplayer mode I've been trying to finish, 
but it does have a few new things that people might enjoy.

The biggest change is the new sound pack put together by Kai!  It might take 
some of us a little while to get used to the new sounds, but it is good that we 
are finally getting away from the temporary junk files I had originally used.
There are a few bug fixes, including better regional support and a fix for the 
tome bug.  I don't know if the regional settings bug is officially squashed for 
good, but this new update should fix the specific problems people have sent me 
saved game files for.
Secondary maps have been added.  Many of you have already beaten all 3 missions 
and have asked about new content.  Well new maps aren't really the same as new 
content, but they were a quick way to possibly breath a little more life into 
the missions you've already won.  When setting up to play a new game, press 
Enter on Default map and it will cycle to Secondary map as a step between 
Default and Random.  Each mission has 1 secondary map, which gives more variety 
but still lets people get used to the terrain and share tips and hints about 
good building locations.
Very few people have been beating the missions on hard mode, although several 
have.  The ability to play co-op multiplayer is an excellent way for people to 
attempt the game on a difficulty setting that is harder than they can do when 
playing alone.  To provide skilled players with a new challenge, I have added 
the Insane difficulty to the game.  I am personally excited to give this a try 
in co-op.

Re: [Audyssey] Castaways: People mysteriously disappearing

[Alfredo_The_Music_maker]

Hello,
I am not sure if this is supposed to happen, or if this might be a bug, 
but when Dewain the game to a close, I had 48 people total. Right when 
the ship had 50 of everything except for wine, I checked my total again, 
and was surprised that there were 23 people instead of 48. Also it 
appears that some buildings were gone. I did not realize this until I 
noticed people started to die from starvation. My question is, how could 
the number of people have fallen without some kind of a warning?

Re: [Audyssey] Castaways: People mysteriously disappearing

[Jeremy Kaldobsky]

I believe I have a pretty likely explanation as to why this happened.  Odds 
are, you had a backlog of messages.  When your food ran out a bunch of your 
people starved but the starvation messages were in the back log still when you 
checked your population.  Checking the current population showed the small 
number of people even though you hadn't been shown the starvation messages yet.

Hi Aprone,
I've been playing mission three quite a bit, and it came to 
my attention that a key to check, or display (perhaps in a menu) 
the remaining enemies would be really useful. This would stop 
people having to look over the entire map for enemies, or to 
check the strength of the enemy.

[Audyssey] Castaways: Message Pile-up

[Christina]

Hi.
I'm trying a different strategy this time when I'm playing Mission Three of 
Castaways.  I have more than a hundred people and I suspect this is the cause 
of my problem.
Often times, a persons status-mother or worker or ailing verses healthy-is 
different than recent messages would indicate.  I also don't get messages other 
players send to me for a long time.
Is there a way to fix this or to go to the end of all of my messages?

I have the game speed set to Blazing and that doesn't fix the problem.  Thanks 
for any help.
Christina

Re: [Audyssey] Castaways: Message Pile-up

[Jeremy Kaldobsky]

When multiple messages are generated on a single tick, you are presented with 
the first one and the next is put on a back log list which will be picked from 
on the next tick.  To give an example, if on the exact same tick you had 10 
people die, it will require the game to run for at least 10 ticks before you 
finally see the last death message.  I say at least, because other messages 
could also have been piling up before the people died to begin with.  When you 
have such a monstrous population, there is going to be a huge back log of 
messages since there are so many people doing things.  One solution is to 
disable as many message types as you can do without, and the other solution is 
to pause the game often and press the guave/tilde (~) key to pull the next back 
logged message out to be read.

Re: [Audyssey] Castaways: 2.1 idle workers tweak.

[Jeremy Kaldobsky]

Chris, I'm glad you like the idle category and I have written down your 
suggestion to remove mothers and ailing from that count it gives.  The idle 
category was recently suggested by someone from the community, and I was very 
excited to put it in because I also thought it was an excellent idea!

I think last week marked my finally beating all 3 missions on hard, but yes it 
is quite a big difference between hard and normal.  I didn't miss the resources 
so much, but the mission people does hurt and the extra random disasters can 
wreak havoc at an instant.

Has anyone given the new starter, perks, or fault a try yet?  I'd be interested 
to hear what people think of them.  If any seem totally useless we can figure 
out a good replacement.

 First of all, I love the concept
 behind listing the idle workers.  Could you
 pull out the ailing and mothers from the number though as
 it's confusing to
 see two idle workers but not find the idle category because
 they're both
 mothers.  I think we know that mothers and ailing are
 idle.
 
  
 
 Trying my first hard mode game and man, 10 is hard to start
 out with.  Those
 extra two workers make a much bigger difference than you'd
 think.
