Re: [Audyssey] Castaways 1.0b thoughts and impressions.
hi there. i've just successfully completed the game. towards the end, when i need to stock up on food items on the ship, i realise that the production of food can never cope, simply because the peasants are prioritising on stalking up the ship with food and and there is not enough man power for other stuffs like transporting stuffs from place to place. i guess this is meant to be, so i closed down the ship for a while and desinated more bakers to bake as bread was a little low and the mill already has 5 weat wating and i have got more than 80 flour. but somehow, the peasants are not wanting to transport the flour to the bakery, even the bakers are helping with the stalking up of the tavern, and grinding weat into flour. only when i shut down all farms, then did the peasants started to deposit flour to the bakery. luckily i was high on vegetables at that time and so i managed to survived thought many were on the edge of starvation. oh i forgot to add, they are all vegetarians!!! hahaha. so i'm not sure if the priorities of peasants should be tweeked a little more towards moving flour to bakery having more priority over making more flour because i have already have loads of them. maybe there is a way to let the peasants know once i reach a certain number of flour, they should stop producing more flour for the moment and try to find some other important stuffs to do? oh and guess what! i completed the game with only 20 population! because somehow, the females stopped getting pregnant after population reached 20 i'm not sure why this is happening as my fault is vegetarians. i've saved and reloaded save game quite a number of times, so not sure if it has somehow messed up the saved game data somewhat? overall, i really think this is a really fantastic game and i'm looking forward to more multi player options and capabilities. keep up the good work man!!! - Original Message - From: "Jeremy Kaldobsky" To: "Gamers Discussion list" Sent: Sunday, July 17, 2011 10:24 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] Castaways 1.0b thoughts and impressions.

They should go to the tavern automatically. Just make sure that A. you've got food and/or wine at the tavern and B. that you have a cook and, if there's also wine present, a bartender, to serve the people. ANd if your cook or bartender is injured, replace them right away so you don't have a swarm of people come in on the verge of starvation!

When you get time, and assuming this happens to you each time you select Strong start, please start a game, save it it right away, and then email it to me.

Quoted from Dark > You'll notice that you get no new messages about in game > action unless you here the ticking. Of course you can also press either the ~ (tilde) key, or the \ (backslash) key to hear messages that are currently back logged. Because you could receive multiple messages on the same tick, they are stored in a log and fed to you 1 at a time as ticks of time pass. In the vast majority of situations, receiving a message a tick or 2 later, has no negative effect. If you have no backlogged messages, pressing either of those keys will just make a sound to indicate there is nothing to show you. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Castaways 1.0b thoughts and impressions.
You don't. You build a tavern and assign a cook, and they'll go and get served food there. Actually the cook is pretty much the most important job in the game, sinse with no cook, everyone starves even if there is food in the tavern and the storehouse. Beware the Grue!

Hi Jeremy. I checked my regional settings and they are all set to US and English. There's nothing anomalous there. My comments were, as the subject line indicated aimed at 1.0b. I've downloaded 1.1B and reported the strong start bug. I didn't play beyond discovering that last night, I took a night off for reading and marriage maintenance, a chore that I enjoy more and more every year. *smile* Chris Bartlett --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Thomas, you make a good point. I've had quite a few people request that I made an automatic updater for the game, I just haven't gotten around to doing it yet. As 1 small step in the right direction, people who try to play multiplayer are at least told now, when they are using an outdated version. Once I finally sit down to code the automatic updater, it will make things easier for everyone. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Re: [Audyssey] Castaways 1.0b thoughts and impressions.
Hi Jeremy, Thanks for the long explanation. That clears up a number of questions I had myself, but just haven't had time to ask on list. As for the version issue, this is just a possible theory, but I think in some cases you update faster than some people can upgrade. In one week we have had 11 updates to the game which is good, but I myself have ended up missing several releases because by the time I find out version x is out the next version has already been posted. For instance I remember getting a message that 0.5b was released only to find out that 0.7b was up already. I just downloaded 0.9b like last night, and this afternoon when I checked my mail 1.1b was out. I didn't even know 1.0b was out until after I heard about 1.1b. This is good as I said, but its possible some people are falling behind the updates because they are coming too fast. I myself get on average 300 e-mails a day and by the time I sort it all out I discover there have been one oor two new upgrades since the version I downloaded.

Re: [Audyssey] Castaways 1.0b thoughts and impressions.
Chris, I might be wrong, but I think you wrote this post prior to the recent version 1.1b release. The new version addresses many of the things you brought up here. If you Are!, however, using the newest 1.1b version, then I guess I need to take a closer look at some spots in the code! The multiplayer characters aren't tied That! closely to their owner. If I were a character in your settlement, and I was a builder, your "Aprone" won't work as a peasant just because my "Aprone" is temporarily serving as one in my settlement. If they both are doing the same temp job, that's purely coincidental. Only their main assigned job is translated between everyone's settlements. If your multiplayer builder wasn't helping out, it could simply have been because there wasn't enough work to go around. Multiplayer characters are usually assigned jobs after your own people have been given theirs. This is because you never know when one of them is going to exit the game, and it's better to maximize how much control you have over what's going on. If you had, say, 10 builders of your own, plus an "Aprone" builder, he wouldn't even be needed if a construction site just finished being stocked. The 10 builders ahead of him would take the building to 100% competition, so he would spend his time simply standing around. It is just a guess as to what was really happening though. Back in 1.0v, co op people Did! count toward your housing, but in version 1.1b they shouldn't. If you are using the newest version, then your 4 houses example is pretty good evidence that there is a bug with that still. The materials bug has been really hard to track down. Many people have sent me saved games where the bug occurs, but it seems to work when I load the games. It must be a mistake that isn't saved into the save game files, which means it is that much harder for me to track down. I've never had it happen to me personally, so I just keep waiting for when it finally does. The difficulty settings do not change the building requirements. I'm not sure if this is a bug, or a time when a message was overlooked, but there is code that explains exactly where, and what, was attacked by the Goblins. I'm not sure why you didn't receive a message, but please tell me if it happens again. Hold shift, and press G, to hear all of the squares being occupied by Goblins. The bug that causes the game to hang was reported earlier today actually. I can't remember who told me, but they were able to tell me exactly what they had done before it happened, and I spotted the problem in the code. When I release the next update, that bug will be squashed. Even with it squashed, your advice is still good for Any! game that involves hours of work. Save often! I do have eventual plans for resource trading, although this probably won't be in the co op mode. It might be, but I haven't actually Planned! to add this feature to the existing co op mode. While different people will argue different strategies, personally I would say that yes, there is a benefit to having multiples of some buildings. Some people build out, stretching away from their first storehouse. This means that each new building is a longer walk for your people. If I know, in advance, that my city will grow quite large, I don't center my storehouse, I think of it as my right or left side to my eventual city. As things expand, I'll put another storehouse on the other side, so that all of my buildings are pretty close to one storehouse or the other. This serves as an efficiency boost for my people who need to travel. The Tavern is another building I like to have 2 of. If things like up just right, you can easily run in to a "dinner rush" where a dozen people all seem to want to eat at the same time. Assuming I'm only stocking 2 food types at the time, at least 2 of my people will have to sit in the empty tavern, waiting for more food to be carried over. With a second Tavern, I can support twice as large of a "dinner rush" without anyone needing to wait for restocking. I'd rather have my main work force eat fast and get back to work, and while they're working, peasants can take their time restocking the Taverns. A single cook will just walk back and forth between the 2 taverns, so I don't necessarily need 2 of them when I'm using 2 taverns. Multiple guard towers works the same as having multiple storehouses. When carrying supplies around, workers will use whichever storehouse is closest. The supplies all magically get pooled into the same place, so it really just comes down to distance. When soldiers travel out to fight Goblins, they will launch from, and return to, the guard tower that will require them to walk the shortest distance. This means that putting a guard tower up close to the enemy, cuts down on wasted time as your soldiers walk back and forth to the tower. As forests and rocks thin out, I have been known to
