Bottom post of the previous page:

So... underground building sucks.

So you need to reinforce the floor before you can plan out the building
The ground needs to be flat too.
You need dig out a perimeter around your reinforcements if its off deed

You can not level tiles next to reinforced floors
Mining out cave walls next to reinforced floors can cause the ground to go uneven, including the ground under your reinforcements
Can you guess the issue here?

So if you've already reinforced the area; in order to level out the area you need to remove the reinforcements, this destroys reinforcement - massive waste of time and materials.

Its a hard life being a dwarf.

I moved a ton of clay up to the tower. If anyone can add it to the tower that should be enough for that stage and then have some left over to move down to the tavern site. I'll set about banging out the 350ish stone bricks we'll need when I get home.

The amount of time spent on just this tower is making me reconsider my resolve to make a colossus/bone altar to overlook the town.

>wants to build a colossus
>he's scared of building a mere tower

boy i tell you hwat

one time i built a guard tower and then all of my friends stopped playing wurm

i stopped playing wurm after that

Tower's done, tavern first floor walled in, floor going in soon. Progress!

And yet you have shown no screenshots of this

Looks really nice at night.

Tavern update:

Flooring is in.



Comfy is in.



Working on a spiral staircase to the second floor and some pottery shingles for the roof.

Is everyone burnt out already?

I played 40 hours during reading week but it's such a time sink that's it's dropped on my list of priorities since school started back up.

that's about it

wtf is reading week?

a week off around midterms in university

Expect people to play more on weekends too, for obvious reasons

That house up there looks huge. But then as a public building it seems like a comfy enough meeting spot if you're with a group. Nice looking place in general

Its either slightly smaller than or roughly the same size as the monstrosity that Xhagi built shortly after joining the server. This one will make for a comfy tavern spot. Hopefully done before the next winter season starts.

I got your spoilers right here.

Its funny that the slums are now rotting with missing wall panels like a real slum.

Its not funny that theres several good plots of deed space taken up by half built abandoned shacks.

This happened because, despite instructions, people went in with a minecraft "gotta build a house" mindset and just built garbage shacks and pointlessly large mansions in random places.

i hope my 2x2 shed is still alive




or else im going to login and rebuild ity

Its gone.

fucking meme magic

We are still alive

somehow

we've lost some of our comrades though

[01:04:20] You suddenly realise that you have more of an insight about animal husbandry!

I have started my own little autism fort up the hill from town. I work the towns fields.

Its no small sum but we need to hunt and raise 5 silver and change to get our deed extended out as far as the chapel. That generally means killing a ton of mobs and selling furs. Don't submit that money to the settlement upkeep fund I can't remove that money and expansion costs have to be paid with cash in hand. Just save it in your banks and get it to me manually when you can.

Photoblog updates

The view from the terraced farms. The farms New farm terrace I spent a while flattening. Probably going to put in a bunch of sugarbeets to fuel the next thing The next thing. The tavern has a new still. Might build a second if we need it. We're not really using copper for anything else anyway, but it was a pain in the ass to put together.

p much

this game doesn't require much in the survival department, it's about what you do after getting settled

Is this game worth getting if it isn't on sale?

Settlement still going strong people still playing?

Does wurm unlimited require a good internet connection?

Worth it- Depends on if you have a group to play with. If you do, yes
Still going? Cant say I know
Good internet connection?- Not particularly. It helps but you dont really need it.

I'd say it is

Yeah people still play, I've just been super busy with rl and haven't had much time for any games

Not really? If you can play other games online you're fine

-I mean, you can still probably get it cheap off GMG or something, most of us got on board at the 9 or 1 dollar range, but for all the hours I've sunk into it I'd say I'd have paid 20 for it.

-Its going. Its been hard to keep completely under control since most of it is urban sprawl from people who came, built and left so there's maybe 1-2 of us contributing to upkeep/deed expansion and we have a few structures way outside of the deed's upkeep protection range that will cost a lot of cash to bring in line. If we can't farm it out on hunting parties I might have to throw a couple bucks at the serb to expand the deed myself. Fair's fair since I think Qbop did that himself.
Apart from that, I've just been slacking on photoblogging. I just started up the brewery. We've got sugar and potato production going so we'll have moonshine and vodka going soon. Kinda wish we had some grapes to make wines with too. Malk found us some shale and a high QL iron deposit so that's pretty sweet. I just put in 5-6 new coal burning piles from a portion of the logs Malk deforested in the process of connecting us more directly to the highways. We have a hermit admin living up on the hill above us tending the crops on the terrace farms now too.
Oh, and I managed to bully Citrus into getting his house out of the middle of the road. Now I just have to move my kiln to match.

-Connection doesn't really matter. If you can handle Minecraft you can handle Wurm.

yeah I spent like $5 or whatever to get 10 silver to slap the deed down instead of spending 30 years killing animals with the default gear, because people kept getting lost trying to walk here and I got fed up

Qbopper wrote:yeah I spent like $5 or whatever to get 10 silver to slap the deed down instead of spending 30 years killing animals with the default gear, because people kept getting lost trying to walk here and I got fed up

That's about how much it would cost to extend the deed as far as the chapel I built. It would bump the upkeep a little but even our casual animal slaughter is enough to keep up with baseline upkeep for like, 50 days.

That said, do you have any idea how I'm supposed to get the fermenting booze from the barrel into the still? The barrel certainly says that its in there, but it doesn't show on the "open" contents. Do I have to use a container of some sort on the barrel?

Heh, he thinks a three wide path to the high way is deforestation, wait until I get around to stripping a plain for a better hunting ground

people like you are why i play wurm alone tbh

What's with all the hippies?

Huge tracts of deforested land are ugly and make travel to get lumber obnoxious.

Trees make it harder to see creatures

Besides, we've got plenty of trees around us

Malkevin wrote:Besides, we've got plenty of trees around us

wurm is great because it simulates what happens irl

"lol we have lots of trees its nbd"

"where the fuck did all the trees go"

this has happened twice with people i've played wurm with and every time i sigh/laugh

That also happened with Haven&Heart when I played it
"Wood? Eh, just cut some trees, its fine we have plenty"

>3 days later it's a 10 minute walk to get to the nearest tree

But we can plant new trees around the village

Reminds me I need to start on an apple or olive orchard.

Malkevin wrote:But we can plant new trees around the village

literally no one does this though they just chop trees (even though we have hundreds of logs in storage)

Baby horse was born yesterday.
Mummy horse is missing today.

Who the fuck took mummy horse?

you can use tracking to figure out where people/animals went I think

look at this old ass image



wait holy FUCK

that guy talking in the chat, Mthec? he was in the village I first joined when I started playing WO

from the log it looks like this is when he was getting started or something

holy shit how long has that fucker been playing this game

I was just looking up images of WO to use and found this goddamn that's weird as fuck

overview of our little village i'm not sure how much is recognizable in this picture but to the bottom left through the trees is the basin area. In this picture from 11 months ago we are just through the trees in the top center right.

I think I'm guilty of chopping down the willow tree at 9:41, 9:43 shows about we are at and I believe the wagon that is shown a few seconds later is still there...or it's just some random wagon.

crazy how just a random piece of land in a game I don't really understand that well could have such a big story behind it.
if you still don't think it's the same place, in this next video he lands at the place down by the lake where we get clay from. the road he is standing on is the exact same layout/road that is there still, and even that bit down below with the animals and shit is the same, just without the buildings/animals.

This is why I'd like to see a very rare chance of a permanent/not-decaying 'ruin' version of a building in these type of games. Stumble upon an ancient ruin? That would be pretty good stuff.
