Re: Things that annoy or puzzle you about Cantr
Some places buy for example gems, coffee cherries or raspberries with below manual rates. If people don't want to buy, I move on because I know I can get better rates elsewhere. If they don't buy, it means you're probably too close to the source. Things like rubber and gas are sometimes sold at manual rates, but sometimes with tooled rates. Silk cocoons and seaweed are usually at manual rates but since they cannot be improved, sometimes they are below manual because it's impossible to get them. With things that are found on almost every island, tooled rates are more common.

That's the main reason I hate trading. Probably the majority aren't willing to consider travel time, fuel used (for land traders), nor are rarity or need even considered.

Re: Things that annoy or puzzle you about Cantr
It annoys me that it seems impossible to get silk cocoons on some regions, because if you go to the source and gather them yourselves, people are going to buy off all your stock and then you'll soon be out again. I certainly hope that people in the few silk locations in the highly populated part of the world are doing nothing but gather silk because they could get anything they want out of trade.

A character recently spawned with really bad eyesight. Not blind, but not seeing enough to read regular notes etc. Had a hard time recognizing people and so on. A bit of a variance to the theme at least.

Let me introduce the next domesticable animal in game: Silkworm.

It was actually quite nice seeing that character spawn. Or one similar to it. I had one personally spawn that didn't know how to talk, but she's learning how to. I may need to play her better, but it was something I was wanting to try.
Oh look, another glorious morning… makes me SICK!

Re: Things that annoy or puzzle you about Cantr
I also had one spawn not knowing how to talk, and she still doesn't know many words. I did that earlier with a male character but he picked up some words without anyone teaching him.

For the most part she can talk now, but still messes words up from time to time. Or if she's scared she won't talk at all.

LOL Definitely! Yes, was annoying for my characters side of things too!!! But it was hilarious oocly particularly when I heard the results of the whole situation AFTER the radio issue. Too funny and while annoying for my character, it was fun playing it out with you.

Re: Things that annoy or puzzle you about Cantr
This doesn't just apply to cantr, but to most text related things. Using more than one exclamation point in speech. If someone is shouting reeeally loud, describe it, don't add a little army of !!!!!'s after something. Always been my pet hate.

Lol, yes this!!!!
Very excited.
And again, very much this. Or the worst, the ones who cause drama and then act like they don't want any part of it or the victim in the whole thing.

If it is properly RPed and a part of the characters personality to be douchey like that, then it is sort of acceptable (in my opinion, of course) but if it is just the player being a dick, then yeah, it's quite horrible.
