Tool Upgrades
Added 2017-08-24 12:32:15 +0000 UTCIt's not as much of a complaint now that sprites can be equipped in a different slot (of course I didn't convert them all, but that will change in the next release), but players have complained before about the necessity of equipping the various tools.
Well, I want to change this, but not entirely.
Every type of tool will have an upgrade later on in the game, and since I'm doing an overhaul anyway, I've decided that the tool upgrades will bypass the need to have said tool equipped. :)
I may also decide to have lower stamina costs for these upgraded tools. Anyway I'm replacing all the resource events and simplifying them, so it will be really easy for me to make future adjustments. Also, instead of costing 10 each of hygiene, hydration and stamina, cutting wood will now just cost 10 stamina.
I'll be doing the same for the rocks (stamina cost for those will still be 20, but no other resource costs). Also, in future versions the intro rocks' stamina cost will be 20 as well, instead of 10. I feel like having them cost different amounts from those in The Abyss could lead to some confusion.
I feel like hydration and nutrition should only be consumed over time so that players can keep track of it better, and hygiene should only go down from sexual encounters.
