Re: Things that annoy or puzzle you about Cantr
Why is, according to the build menu, the haystack a machine for food preparation?

Re: Things that annoy or puzzle you about Cantr
Then why isn't the pot still a machine for food prep?

Pot stills are too awesome to be grouped with hay stacks, according to two of my characters.
Customized clothes don't show descriptions on dead bodies. Irksome.

I currently have two charries that could very easily turn "evil" but I'm not forcing it. But if something else happens to cause it so be it. I also have a third that is going to cause trouble but he is young and you can't do much with bone and a stack of potatoes
Conflict......Just remember, you guys asked for it....

This is what I have been saying as well! When the lovely little carebear characters become bloody morsels feeding X or Y's hunger for death...just come back and reread those wishes.

Re: Things that annoy or puzzle you about Cantr
LOL Yes, but death doesn't always have to be involved with conflict and evil plans.
My quiet little sleepy ones that have been just waiting for me to clear out my list enough to start putting focus on them...are waking up. My list is at 8 and will be back down to 6 soon. And in the meantime, I have a few troublemakers out to have some fun and more time to focus on them with the shorter character list.

I did suggest that they should show descriptions, quickly, go vote for it

I am just taking out my inept sailing skills on this thread, damnit.
...stops to avoid hitting a coast.
Shouldn't it be THE coast? Hmm? Hmm?

Re: Things that annoy or puzzle you about Cantr
I came to realize that I don't know all of my characters because I have so many. In the past I could feel what my characters feel, at least for most of them, and knew how they would react in different situations, but some of my younger ones don't have enough of a personality to be a proper person. Also some of them developed in directions I wasn't expecting, like one of my young ones is sort of annoying/insensitve and tends to question a lot of things, while my youngest one has turned into a bit of a coward, even though he has good fight stats. Maybe it's because he's not aware of those stats because I found out about them by having him try to drag himself.

Re: Things that annoy or puzzle you about Cantr
I have sailed between two coasts before. It was a very narrow passage.

Re: Things that annoy or puzzle you about Cantr
If I'm crashing into it, that is the only coast I'm bothered about! I know it makes sense logically but it's bad English. When are you ever within crashing distance of two different coasts?
Oh, and can I just say... meh.

When a town has 350+ events in a day, it just feels like a chore to read.
