Daesig 3 Posted January 3, 2019 (edited) Maybe add skills like woodcutting / mining / sailing. You gain exp while doing this task and become slightly better at it. just saw that there is a suggestion section now, can't delete post though. My bad.

boomervoncannon 1,541 Posted January 3, 2019 This would be a skill through use system like many sandbox games have or have had. SWG was noteworthy for this. Not sure how it might work alongside a skill point per level system, but can't hurt to suggest. Are you aware there are already skills that can buff those things through the current system? Even non tool hand harvesting? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Would love to get my hands on an elephant for wood, but not a beastmaster and can't spare the points. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fun fact... cotton was harvested by hand until the 1890s. And Tobacco is still harvested by hand in some places. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nightstrasza 137 Posted January 3, 2019 It does... but ok. Having an increase from a tree from 25-30 to 35-50 per tree with this +60% harvest, same goes to other resources. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fun further fact: The american civil war would likely have never happened without Eli Whitney's invention of the cotton gin. The gin made growing cotton on a large scale profitable and made slave labor economically viable. Some southerners still like to use the red herring of claiming the war was about states rights and not slavery, but the reality is a reading of confederate leaders own words reveals the main state right they were concerned about was the right to keep slavery legal.

Did you test it per hit? I feel like some trees have random hp Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
