Hey, 

- oh dear, i apologize for making that -- of all links -- a restricted link; 'access granted' ;-)

- wrt to the messages, i have never seen the ui itch puts up for developers which means i can't really help you on that end. having posted them i can no longer see them, they go out via an interstitial page that tells me that posts (from this account) are subject to moderation. i have no idea why; i've written to itch about his thrice and think we can consider them lost.

- its a comedy of errors; not just that the early feedback got lost, or that i wound up sharing the save 'for authorized users' only, but that i also have another save where i'm stuck in a dungeon after having dropped loot right by the exit in ~ 0.3.2 when the game was still replacing tiles, and that i wound up with truly deadly lag after pushing to get somewhere fast!   

but its all ok.  I hope you got the file and can find a good abstraction for dealing with the many 'previously home' camp-fires i spammed on my journey (if those are what are getting in the way)

keep up the good work -- oh, and please consider using the now awesome looking dungeon floor tiles instead of soil or 'harvested bush' etc tiles when rendering those tiles in dungeons.  that would look clean and perhaps perhaps let one use them for loot storage once the map-waypoints can be named (or comments added to the dungeon names) -- i'm speaking from great ignorance about the rest of the game here, that is without ever having used the teleporting cheese or those waystones the docs hint at.

that's all for now, glad i caught you, going to sleep here.

Love that you're actually enjoying the game yourself!

looking forward to 'cleaning up collapsed dungeon ceilings and leaving the world a better looking place' ;-)

since the defense reshuffle my loop has been to
rest near water, build just enough defenses to make a profit each night -- and actually sleep. i had not ever used the sleep before.

then, get up before day turns on, get going, clean up stragglers, keep moving while keeping an eye on the hp of wolves and wyverns. look at the loot once inv is full -- and you can see how there's no room to pick up flowers, shrooms, or to keep animal parts.

i aimed for lifesteal and eva over dmg and def, and began dumping all the set pieces i'd found because they could not compete with the randomish mix i'm using.

once the danger level is high enough for me to worry about groups of wyverns, i look for water and set up for the night. so far, on the path to the city, that has worked and i only needed the extra water bottle once, maybe twice. that is soooo much better than the 'thirst game' i was playing in earlier versions!

i notice with a touch of chagrin that 'my clever moves' to break line of sight and to keep it broken - to get away from wyverns - who i will sometimes miss 3..5 times in a row - rarely if ever work. i suspect you're tracking me 'by scent' for one more turn than my fingers would expect (4 turns rather than 3?) .. but that's ok, they drop loot and then i get to drop stacks.

i dont know under what 'policy' you clean up my old camps or dropped stacks, and i just want to say that .. unless i build and use storage at a site, i'd expect it to be gone (for memory and performance sake) after 2, maybe 3 nights. (i'd expect stuff i leave in dungeons to stay there though) (no idea what you'll do, as is, given that i generate money each night by sleeping and already have more than i'll ever need, it would not matter what happens in the wild)

as you wrote 'fixes', it sounds like the architecture is holding up -- and that is great!  good job man!  and ty for 'being here'.
all the best. later.
