Title: Vanishing Water
Description: Pots of water emptying mysteriously


Paul - April 24, 2008 03:04 AM (GMT)
I had several pots full of water on my table in the corner of the house for several days (winter time, broke hole in ice to get them), and I went to pick one up to make some porridge and all the pots together are showing as less than 1lb and the little bar showing how full they are is completely black. Drinking from them once returns the standard empty pot which weighs 1lb, and the water from all 5 of them wasnt enough to make porridge.

My tub of water sitting by itself was still full, so I believe it has something to do with stacks of containers full of liquid. It may even be tied to the same problem that was causing stacks of traps to turn into one?

Its not really a huge deal in terms of gameplay (just chop another hole in ice and fill em back up), but a bug is a bug.

edit:
I just noticed another one, it warmed up a bit one day in mid winter and I took my skis off. But I kept skiing! No ski stick, no skis, and im permanently skiing. The only way I was able to turn off the skiing was to save and load. This is repeatable, and is happening every time I start skiing - I just can't stop without saving and loading, even if I take off my skis unwield the stick and drop them both. I archived my save file just in case its a specific issue with the character at this time, and can send it if you can't get it to repeat.

I also notice that I still skii inside the house, but I don't remember if you could do that last version or not.

Also, I know its been around a while, but can you remove the whole "strange feeling wakes you up - unity with the world" thing? For someone so at peace with the world, you think he could get a good nights sleep instead of waking up in the middle of every other night and sleeping through until noon the next day because of it. At least make it stop happening once you get all the rituals, or just give you a message when you wake up, maybe "You had a wonderful dream, you feel that you are at peace with the world" instead of waking you up.
This is one of the larger nagging problems of the game once you settle somewhere, you go off hunting for a few hours only to come back and sleep for 2 days due to constantly being woken up by "unity with the world."

How im still at unity with the world is beyond me, I've clear cut over 400 trees and slaughtered enough foxes to have 150lbs of dried fox meat over the winter so far. And I haven't done a single ritual, other than to summon more foxes to slaughter. I was actually hoping to get a bad rep with the spirits so they would stop waking me up.

I've noticed that as well. Other than in the beginning where doing a ritual several times in a too short time, the connection to the world always seems to go up. While that's all well when you don't have any rituals to raise it, it's something I would like to see slowed down once you do. Getting closer to the world when you're trying to get away from it doesn't make that much sense.

Possibly, I would like it if you didn't get closer to the world with time unless you actively did something about it. However, if you start off without any rituals to appease the spirits, there should be a command to pray or something similar.

Heres another one: Light sources never seem to burn out. I've wandered around for a week with my torch never burning out. It keeps telling me that it burned out, but it doesn't go away and keeps providing light.

Unity with the world only seems to acquire when you're not in a village.

Try moving into an empty house in a nearby town if you want. This worked a few versions ago, but I haven't played in a while. :o
