We thought it'd be fun to share some of our workings here...
My 8 year old has recently developed a big interest in this game! He also keeps asking about a multiplayer version. :) It's encouraging to think that even if we got bots to do lots of labor for us, we still want other people with us, eh? :)
The animations are super adorable. I'm really enjoying watching him play as much as he is enjoying playing. It would be fun to be able to play multiplayer with him. :)
After much research I finally figured out how to make string! And, at last, a means of catching some of the fish swimming in the deeper waters... I have passed on this new-found knowledge to my loyal Bots and we can now feed our Folk some much-needed 'brain food' (not that I'm expecting it to make a noticeable difference to their intelligence).
I have a suggestion for an update, theme vehicles.
Metal scooter.
There is already a crude scooter but the lack of a proper, or metal scooter upsets me. Recipe: Metal workbench, 1 metal plate, 3 metal poles, 2 wheels. 2x or 1.5 as fast as crude scooter
Engine
Material for recipe. Recipe: Metal workbench or workerbot creator, 4 metal plates, 1 metal pole, 2 metal gears, and 1 string (I don't know why, just feel like it needs one)
Pillow
Material for recipe, can be put in house to make folks happier. Recipe: Rocking chair? Maybe... 1 wool and 6 straw
Moped
I NEED MORE SPEED! Recipe: Workerbot creator or metal workbench: 3 metal plates, 6 metal poles, 2 wheels, 1 engine, 1 pillow. 4 times as fast as crude scooter
Nail
Material for recipe. Recipe: Metal workbench, 1 metal pole
Kayak paddle
Makes all vehicles that require a paddle 1.5 times as fast. Recipe: 2 paddles or 2 planks and 1 pole
Kayak:
Can house 2 creatures, for multiplayer or for carrying a folk, sheep, or cow with you. Recipe: 2 logs, 2 nails, 1 metal chisel, 1 wooden mallet. Same speed as canoe, unless you use kayak paddle
Fanblades
Material for recipe. Recipe: Metal workbench, 2 metal plates
Motorboat
I NEED MORE BOAT SPEED!! Recipe: Metal workbench or workerbot creator, 7 metal plates, 4 pillows, 2 metal poles, 1 engine, 1 paddle. 3x as fast as crude scooter.
Ok yes I admit I JUST NEED MOre SPEED
Also, they can also be made in a new building called a vehicle assembler. Materials needed: 6 metal plates, 2 logs, 4 metal gears, 1 beacon, 6 nails and 2 metal poles.
Ok yes some of these recipes are bizarre but maybe someone else has better ideas..
