| *Salem V.1.2*: Exploring the Bowels
|
Feb 14, 2016
|
Exploration Events
There are now dozens of new items in the game related to special events you can find in the wilderness. Finding these strange, wondrous, or sometimes spooky structures and discovering what they mean is something we're going to leave up to you! This mechanic will most likely need a lot of balance and tweaking that will require use on a large-scale vs. our test server environment. As it stands at launch each season a random number of exploration events will be seeded throughout the world. On Popham that number will be closer to 100 and on Providence that number will be closer to 1,000. The hope is that on each turn of the season the Pilgrims will feel an incentive to leave their base and get out exploring.

We Finally Did Something With Fishing!
By something. I mean nothing. And by nothing, I mean took massive steps backwards. The general idea was quite simply that no game would be more fun than the current existing minigame. Instead the minigame now exists more in if you can catch the fish, if you have the right combination of bait and pole to catch the fish, and the dynamic sizes of the fish you catch. Most larger fish are indeed harder to catch and will get away etc. etc. It was our opinion that we simply lacked the tools to create this game the way we wanted it. In order to revamp this to our liking we will be implanting more visual HUD overlay bars that you can interact with for things like fishing, archery, etc. But for now, we are taking the approach that this is an improvement in the meantime.
- Mini Game has been removed.
- Players may now fish from a longer distance.
- Each fish caught now has a different weight depending on how long he has lived.
- The weight of a fish determines the amount of value given when you compost it or feed it to turkeys etc.

- Fish Trap has been renamed to Shellfish Trap and now only catches shellfish.

The idea of this skill and hopefully more skills to follow is that newer players will see an incentive to learn and have the skills required to assist larger towns in labor intensive processes.
- New Skill: Silversmithing: Silver Spoon, Silver Platter, Silver Circlet, Silver Buckle & Silver Coins all unlock from this skill now.
- Debasement now unlocks with Arson and Silversmithing.

- Players may now move empty stock bins.

- Butchering Animals with your bare hands now adds insanity.

- Pulling the tail on a salamander will no longer have him jump from the box he is in to your inventory. He will now stay in his container and the tail will appear in your inventory.
- Mining Phlegm has been adjusted. Mining sets now provide a greater benefit to phlegm reduction. Also, the deeper you are in a mine the more phlegm that is required to dig. Digging on lower levels should now be a significant investment.

- Squashed two bugs that allowed for dead animals to become sick after they have died to natural causes.
- The negative penalty for an animal getting sick when not in a barn during a coldsnap has been reduced.
- The chance for animals to get sick when they have plenty of food has been decreased overall.
- The chance for animals to get sick when they are hungry and out of food has been increased.
- The way animals eat has been entirely re-written. Instead of their metabolism (yellow bar) being a highly volatile and random trait it is now far more straight forward. Animals will now eat once a day (previously an animal could attempt to eat as many as 4 times a day). However, the metabolism of the animal will now directly impact the amount of hay they eat at each visit to the trough. The base hay eaten is 2 hay per day per animal. There is then an additional hay eaten for each 10 points of metabolism the animal has. This should cause players to be able to predict and project the hay consumption of their animals far more reliably than before. In addition to this, animals should be consuming less hay on average.
- Cows, bulls, and calves no longer prefer 4-Leaf Clovers as treats and will happily eat regular clovers as a treat.
- Goats no longer demand Indian Corn as a treat and will happily take baby corn as a treat.
- Sheep no longer demand Wild Oats as a treat and will happily take carrots as a treat.
- Managing temperament of animals has been rebalanced and re-written. It should be generally easier to keep animals happy than before and animals in the extreme Ornery levels should no longer be so exaggerated in their mannerisms.
- Obtaining a cheese culture that is not farmer's cheese is now more common.
- Graphics for Lamb from the Popham Animal vendor has been changed.
- Graphics for Kid from the Popham Animal vendor has been changed.
- Graphics for Calf from the Popham Animal vendor has been changed.
- Fixed a bug with the reductions caused in mutton meat.
- Added flavor text to Pig Snout.
- Statues now have a mini-map graphic.
- Statues now play music when they are rendered on your screen.
- Please note this is by far our largest patch since launch. There are bound to be quite a few kinks due to some fairly massive systems being adjusted. We have done a backup to RIGHT NOW and may or may not have to revert to this backup if we corrupted the way map tiles are saved. Also please report any oddness with whales as soon as it happens. Given that it is a permadeath mechanic I very much do not want there to be any 'issues' with players being stuck in whales, being unable to exit whales etc. etc.

| *Salem V1.1.8*: Windmill Revamp
|
January 08, 2016
|
Windmill Revamp
- WARNING: JC decided to leave legacy windmills and they "SHOULD" work like they did before more or less.
- To gain the functionality of the new Windmills you will unfortunately need to build it again.
- Windmills are now 3 stories with more generous allotment of tiles inside.
- Windmills now have their own music while inside.
- The Windmill grindstone now acts in 3 parts. The bottom holds 1 Thousand kg of flour or cornmeal in a similar fashion to a barrel. The middle part is simply for looks and to get in your way when traveling to the 3rd floor. The top piece is where you load your grain. The interaction with the top floor is the same as before with the difference that the flour does not go in your inventory but instead fills up the bottom windmill grinder. The speed of all this is 50% ticks so processing large chunks of flour is now faster on average.
- There is no safeguard if you overspill. If you attempt to put more than 1000 KG of grinding in a session the flour will just spill out onto the floor and be wasted. If you are doing a massive session on an already nearly fill windmill it is best to have a friend watching the bottom and emptying it.
- Windmill Theory now requires stocks and cultivars in place of mines and mountains.
Networking & Lag Fix
- Implemented new server technology that will flood out clients who send too many requests to the server. This will decrease both harmful and unfortunately non-harmful activities that have caused server lag in the past. For the record you will need to do quite literally thousands of messages to the server in a second to trigger this, so it is quite impossible to accidentally do this unless you have a malfunctioning or misbehaving custom client, or are attempt malicious things.
New Stuff
- New Building: Questionably Effective Scarecrow. Works like regular scarecrow, but worse radius.
- New Building: Makeshift Table. A wonderous creation unlocked from those who are skilled enough to get to Whittling .

- New Skill: Friendly Wagers
- New Craftable Item: Superball L
- All users who have recently logged into Salem will find a Gaming Token on their Postmaster
- Two figures from Far away lands have now arrived in town along with a strange character who seems to govern them. They have announced to the people of Salem that they and their faction will soon be having a tournament of sorts. A grand battle of fiery conflict that dwarfs any and all competitive games, especially those involving small checkered balls kicked around by lesser men. This game is said to be taking place in the following few days and these figures will allow those with the skill Friendly Wagers to bet a Gaming Token on their faction.
- The factions are The Mustangs Vs. The Cougars
- Each player may only bet on ONE team. Should you manage to get your hands on multiple gaming tokens and bet on each team the LAST bet will be the one that remains registered to your character.
- Sometime next week (or late sunday) I will bring the server down again and the Referee standing between these men will then reward a gift to all those who bet on the correct faction that did indeed win.
- I have made necessary calls to necessary people to make sure that the outcome of Sundays game will be partly determined by how many Salemites with the skill Lucky have bet on each team.
