The timer reduction is only in your mind, that needs to be in the negative set. Reducing from 3 days to 2 or 6 days to 5 is not a reduction particularly when they cannot countdown/sequence chronologically so that time actually passes to match them.

It's a small thing, but I like that storms now bring new chests instead of damaging buildings.

Have you tried a reinstall? I did that yesterday and haven't had any problems yet.

So click to leash, abodes shows -10 - wait a bit because sometimes there is a delay when you force an exit from abode or start a leash - the slightly blurry digits are not a cheap video card artefact its the -10s floating by and multiples of them.



switching from leash a group of abodes to a single dragging to just in front does render the leash target but they do not exit. Just trying to evict (waiting a minute or so no effect).

All those barrels in deep water show a grid when excavating which typically trigger s3e.




before completely locking up when not actually doing anything..

I still don't think the mechanism makes any sense, even in the terms of this representing a 'living board game'. But at least for now it eases up the sticker deficit... some.

Or, at least I've heard it does as I haven't played in months.

I'm almost positive the ONLY reason storms were changed to give out stickers is to circumvent the broken game play. There are certain scenarios where you can pigeon-hole yourself into a situation where you absolutely cannot progress without collecting more stickers to unlock cards (I've done it once early on in one play through, and there are a few examples of this on the bug section of the steam forums).  Nothing more that a band-aid for a pretty big black eye on the design side. "Oh, you can't progress? Silly god, wait for a delicious and zen-like storm to blow some random cards your way. "

Well, yeah. That's exactly what it is; a quick way to "fix" the lack of stickers for the time being, hopefully/supposedly until they can get to the PC sprint later this year - I think. It really doesn't address the issue, of course, and it's not fooling anyone (though I don't think they presented it either way), and we have not been informed of even a middling of an idea about how they potentially might fix it at some future time (unless I missed or forgot something, which is entirely possible). Unfortunately we've pushed for an answer but it's clear we'll just have to wait until indefinitely.

Oh, I feel you on that.

I've been somewhat defending, or at least mediating an understanding of, the MODs and 22Cans/Godus - it feels a little dirty, and makes me a bit nervous that I might come off as a disingenuous "positive supporter" since I'm actually a heavy critic of the whole project. But, again, I'm the type that works in a middle ground or fairness and positivity - or try to be. It's a learned and practiced perspective that I'm still working on balancing, despite personal opinions, because reasons.

Quite true. I feel very much the same.


I can't say that Aynen has rubbed my nerves quite as ostensively much as so many others profess, but I do find it a bit unusual just how steadfastly positive his/her attitude is towards Godus/22Cans and the entirety of the project - despite when shown any evidence to support certain factual missteps - but I also haven't seen anything approaching a 100% refusal to compromise his/her viewpoints; there have been a few "moments of clarity" or admittance that it's not all completely been sunshine and roses. Likewise, as with the dismissal of said evidence in particular, I detect an subtle self-inflicted naivety about Aynen that is tough to pin down what influence, purpose, or cause of such an outlook could be derived from, or the intent there-of. Perhaps he/she is just an overtly positive person, by choice or experience, and no degree of goading will change that. Perhaps the desire for a positive outcome outweighs and offsets any thought of the negative; be positive, get positive? Whatever the reason, we really are devoting wasting an awful lot of time psychoanalyzing someone that we have no real right or justification to. There are far more matters to focus on and be concerned about than Aynen's opinion.

Though, I agree adopting such a positive supporter as a MOD might - as has occurred - put off those opposing the state of things; perhaps they should stabilize the balance by recruiting someone on the opposite polarity of views?


Me too; it seems like there are at least a few more "positive" things we could list. And probably a few more "negatives" too.

What about the (re)planting trees suggestion? It's something that was requested starting in Alpha, and surfaced again during Beta and Early Access - and has since then been implemented as "God Seed" power [that still sounds a slight bit... filthy]. Though I don't think it still quite matches the players requests or views entirely, but it was a good start.

Although I'm fast approaching 40 (come August this year - good heavens) I feel my memory is still quite sharp, but it's easily distracted and influenced by the large amount of information I try to ingest. So, crotchety? No. Old? That's debatable, and a matter of perspective. Besides, who's expected to remember every little detail that has come up in this entire process? Not even Peter can keep it straight...
