Cantr II Discussion Forum

Heck, someone was going to make this thread anyway.

What I think has happened:

All occurences of the old strings (hemp, cotton, silk) have been replaced by generic "string." If you see old string anywhere, report to bugs@cantr.net so it can be changed to new string.

Machines that used or produced old string (twiner, simple twiner, rope machine) have had those triplets of projects changed to single projects, with new string.

The hemp and cotton bowstrings are no more. The silk bowstring now requires generic string to make. (This weird naming will hopefully be corrected in due time.)

The drying rack is unchanged; it always required generic string to build. Finally that string exists, so people can build them. And there was much rejoicing.


RD information needed for the wiki:
Does the silk bowstring still weigh 20 grams, or does it now weigh 10 grams in accordance with the amount of material used to make it?
Confirm: The twiner and simple twiner are unaffected, except that they now output generic string.
Do the various bows still list "bowstring," not "silk bowstring," as requirement?
Will the silk bowstring be renamed to "bowstring" in the near future?

Currently they have not been changed, Please don't contact ProgD about this issue for the moment.
