Press "Choose Files"

Then navigate (go to) the folder where you have your screenshots saved

Then start the upload.

More Information about the Test...




 




I posted the last message in a bit of a hurry, so here is some more information for anyone who tests this.




>> I plan to keep the beta test up for a week for feedback, longer if necessary.




>> Any major issues, I will update the beta ASAP. Other things will be added to the list and included in the final release.




>> Pine Trapper - Currently this building functions as a hunter lodge, as I have not got around to incorporating fur etc. That will come with the new release.




>> Pine Cabins - I am planning to add upgrades to these to increase family size and warmth etc.




>> Capacity and production - Please compare against other mods and let me know if there is anything too far out of line.




>> Take screenshots... and lots of them!




>> I can't think of anything else right now!




After a few hours of game time, so far my feedback is:




1)  Pine trapper, he did nothing for a few seasons so I had to pause the hut.




2)  Maple production line, I couldn't figure out why I had a bunch of map sap, but no syrup.  There isn't an 'items' window in the distillery UI, so I'm thinking that there is no charcoal.  I have over 1,000 coal, but no charcoal and I couldn't find a building to produce the charcoal.  

2.b)  Maple distillery, the worker is showing as a rope maker, and is in the game Town screen as Rope Maker.  




3)  Which Flax is yours? [img]<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/smile.png[/img]/emoticons/smile@2x.png 2x" title=":)" width="20" />



So far, I am really loving the mod, it's got some great colours, it fits in with my game play, and there are some fabulous production lines!!

Overall, well done [img]<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/biggrin.png[/img]/emoticons/biggrin@2x.png 2x" title=":D" width="20" />[img]<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/biggrin.png[/img]/emoticons/biggrin@2x.png 2x" title=":D" width="20" />[img]<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/biggrin.png[/img]/emoticons/biggrin@2x.png 2x" title=":D" width="20" />



Oh, the Pine chain work fab (except the hunter, oopsies) !  I have the Turpentine building churning out turpentine [img]<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/biggrin.png[/img]/emoticons/biggrin@2x.png 2x" title=":D" width="20" />[img]<fileStore.core_Emoticons>/emoticons/biggrin.png[/img]/emoticons/biggrin@2x.png 2x" title=":D" width="20" />

That is strange, not sure why that should be it is the exact code as the hunter. I'll look into it, although it is no big deal because it will be changed anyway, more for you to see the building and give feed back. Do you like the furs on it? Should they be bigger so you can see them better?

Pitch kiln produces charcoal and pitch at the same time. This should be in the tool bar description, perhaps I forgot to add the charcoal. I will also add a consume/produce requirement to it so you can see in the building UI what it is producing.




On that note, I wanted to get away from using wood fuel for production, it is harder to balance. Charcoal will become, for now, the main fuel for any production buildings, so I might add another kiln just for that, maybe not, depends on production values. I just had an idea though, we could mix charcoal with the pitch or turpentine to make a super fuel.

Oh yeah I forgot. That was just a place holder for the time being, I will add a specific pine profession for these production chains. I want to keep the professions to a minimum, so might actually change the rope maker and dory builder to a general ship yard worker.




On that note, what are peoples preferences regarding professions? Do you really like to micromanage, or do you not mind if one profession fills a lot jobs?

I believe the one on the left. What is that other flax? The wild flax mod from WOB or the <abbr title="Colonial Charter">CC</abbr> flax? If it is <abbr title="Colonial Charter">CC</abbr> there should not be two... If it is WOB then it is not usable in the maritimes chains.




Glad to see you like it!

Up that is an issue with a lot of my UIs, I have to figure out the part of the code to change the size of it. Thanks for showing!

If so, could you do me a favor? Give yourself access to all crop seeds, and plant a crop field with flax and hemp. Then let me know how much they produce.... the flax was ridiculous so hopefully it is not so bad anymore.

cool,busy people. to me less worker jobs is better than overly specific. takes up less space on the labor window.most of the managing takes place at the building more than the labor wndow.unless it's like a market or butcher,etc that already has a tag in the labor window grouping jobs under few categories  works better.

Well, modeling animals is actually not as complicated as I thought it would be. I've no idea how to animate them, sounds next to impossible, so we'll have to make do with stationary ones.

Seriousness ...  I have an over abundance of feathers & reeds, so I've switched all my tailors who make the survival coat to making survival coat, then I built 4 more of those buildings!!  I start with these buildings as often I don't have wool to make Warm Coats, or Woollen ones. 

I also have an abundance of leather, so start by making the basic leather clothes. 




Completely unrelated to this topic, but when I have too much stuff I trade it for expensive foods. Well, usually for the exotic fruits which only cost 2, but that's still twice the price of normal food. And for some strange reason my villagers seem to gobble up the imported fruits in preference to the normal ones. They must really like lemons and limes and mangoes.

Who doesn't??




I actually use Ketchup's choo choo mod when I have too many feathers. Trade the for coin then use that to buy foods, same deal, but you can just leave them to it.
