cig,
i would try deleting the download and re-downloading the game.

There should be no lag but the game "tick" every 3 game hours... where you will see the sun move position across the sky.
______________________________________________
The only other thing that comes to mind is check in the OPTIONS~Graphics because i think everyone is getting the new download with the resolution set to 1366x768...you may want to move the slider back to 1024x768.

I use 1366x768 resolution and forgot to change it back before i uploaded the update. I normally set it to 1024x768 before i upload for everyone. If your monitor is not 1366x768 resolution then it would probably lag as you describe.

Hyper,
Thanks for the reminder, will add nails to machete combo. PM is on the way, though every time you update it would have to be edited again. If your idea in the Diary is good, send me a copy of your work and maybe I would replace the diary ingame, with your version. If you want too

I was using Survivalist, ver 03_17_2013, and downloaded the latest mod, (04_20_2014).
This new version constantly pauses in the Main Screen, and in game.

hope re-downloading works...let me no please either way.

thanks, glad your enjoying the mod

A,
I will respond to your post my next visit...still thinking about your content.

Z,

Currently, at the start of a new game... 0 lions spawn on small maps, 1 lion spawns on med maps, and 2 lions spawn on large maps.

The lion stone is set to spawn 1 lion if it is extinct, or if there is no lion within 100 meters of the lion stone. with the following script, in the objects_stuff.inf file under Lion stone:

on:changeday {
if (random(12)==12) {
if (count_inrange("unit",9,100,"self")<1){
create "unit",9,getx("self"),getz("self"); //9 lion
}
}
}

This script is executing in game on every "change day".( So when you sleep over-night, or at midnight if your awake.) Also note: The spawn of the lion only takes place 1 in 12 chances as the "random".

So if you wanted more lions to spawn more often, you could change the two 12's in the above script, to a lower "chance" number. Like if (random(4)==4) would be 1 in 4 change days, or simply "days".

Though if you wanted to spawn 1 lion every change day, (every day as long as no lion is within a 100 meters of the stone) you could alter the random part of the script to this:

if (random(0,1)<=1)

The only time a lion would not spawn then, is if there is a lion (unit #9) within 100 meters of the stone...shown in the script line:

if (count_inrange("unit",9,100,"self")<1)


of coarse, you could change the 100 meters to something like 5000 meters to cover the entire land part of the map.

Then a lion would always spawn every night at midnight, regardless of how many lions are already spawned on the island. If you did not kill a lion for 10 days there would be 10 lions on the island, at least.

the actual lion stone will probably be removed from the game.

How to make a burning bottles from a skin(liver)?

7. Clay: Clay needs to be tweaked. Maybe a new building or two, i.e., clay table (to carve/form) & oven (Similar to forge).

JJ,
1. Please tweak exhaustion, etc. while running. I think is not consuming anything extra atm. Sometimes I forget to toggle shift. Make it consume all much more. Incidentally, reduce 90% holding breath. enhanced sprinting, see to-do list page 1
2. Water rocks need to be fixed; now we can get tens of bottles of water. We should revert to the old 3 cap. Moreover, we should NOT be able to produce bottles when water rock s empty. looking into this, rocks were watering randomly, could tweak it a bit.
=======
3. Increase wild fruits reproduction time. Same with planted seeds. will balance before endgame yes.
4. Fish nets catch less and break more often. will balance before endgame yes.
5. Tweak omelets. Now snail omelet cost more than regular but grants less benefits. HEh, while at it, add 1 or 2 new ones. fixed, now get more out of slime omelet.
=======
6. Heh, the map. Maybe 16 flags is a bit much. 4 should do it, but make it so they have to be built really apart from each other. still looking into how I will implement the map/surveying.
7. Clay: Clay needs to be tweaked. Maybe a new building or two, i.e., clay table (to carve/form) & oven (Similar to forge). As of now building 100 bottles seems tedious. Maybe add empty cans and plastic bottles to the shores. plans to enhance clay crafting/production yes.
8. Boiling water, etc. Maybe a filter. Disease if using raw (rain/plants) water -- not the one from the distiller. i relly like this idea, must boil water or get sick.
9. While the next animals should be rats, frogs, ants, bees and hornets, the next plants should be lettuce, peppers, onions, lime, lemons, sour and sweet oranges, mangoes, guava, pineapples, etc. the engine is at it's limits, bees animations will likely end the animal additions, we can still add more foods yes, without lowering performance.
*** I am not sure how hard is to clone the fruits. I am guessing is easy (If not, please forgive me). I think it would be better to have 30 different fruits that produce once or twice a year AT most, than 6 that fully reproduce every 2 weeks. Make it so that any large map may get half of each kind available (one of each). more foods yes. added to the to-do list
10. Forgive me for the rant man. np bro, always welcomed!

Hey JJ, I've been playing around with the game some and things look good, there are some things that seem a bit odd though, will point them out below.

Paper:
It requires Bark + Stone and Statch in the inventory, why don't you make the starch part of the combo? Only makes more sense. it does require starch yes. Bark+Stone+Starch=paper

Journal Entry:
Make the Journal Entry to not be so Useless, Diary text can contain 43 Characters after all!(Excluding special characters like ( and + and ). still have not found the resolution in script to make longer text.

Berry Pie:
Make the Berry Pie so it has an Uncooked and Cooked version like Bread and Cookies so you can throw it on the Wooden Grill. hmm, probably could do this yes.

Pots and Pans:
Make pots and pans "Throwable" onto Camp Fires and add Cooking times to the soups and such, so they cook like Meat, Fish and baked goods? Maybe make it so that you can only "Throw" a max of 4 pots on the Grill also pssible, good ideas!

Why don't you put a oven in the game so you can actually "Bake" your breads, cookies and pies? It would maybe have an limited inventory and work like the barrel does for Wine and stuff. You can also make use of the cooking skill to make you able to put more Unbaked goods into the oven. more good input, possibly.

Foraging Skill could determine how much damage you do with a new tool (Hand Scythe maybe), More Skill = Less damage, it also determines how much resources you get from trees and other things that require you "Hitting" them(Like Bamboo). tools and weapons do have their own damage rates, mostly dependent on type of metal steal or iron, and then also on forging skill additionally...you can not make some tools until your leveled and they have increased damage as you move up. (stone hammer vs iron hammer vs steel hammer etc.)

Also some stuff needs to be renamed as their IDs don't match their ingame name, i.e Clams are Mollusk(WTF?) and Mushrooms are Fungus(WTF? again) will fix when i do the cleaning of folders, scripting optimize, and final balancing yes.

I can go on and on the whole day since I found out how to read the files lol, but good job man, adding things like you do takes skill. ty very much sir!

"75 - Mining........along with your chances of finding coal, sulfer, and saltpeter" this description is misleading (deceptive) me. edited the description to be more precise yes.
Moreover , I am with skill Mining<50 I can extract Sulfur from any stone (rock)
//find=4991,15,1,1,88
find=4991,15,1,1,4806//
I'm talking about the imbalance (unbalance) skill "Mining" and skill "Forging". Why do I need sulfur , if I have not soon Coal and Saltpeter? Sulfur is also needed for gold stepping stones which are available to build earlier then explosives yes.
I have the skill "Forging" 200,but I have no coal to sprinkle iron (skill "Mining" 75+).
To stop the hemorrhoids, the player picks up an iron shovel and prospect for Сoal deposit when you reach (achieve) a level skill "Mining" >=125
Excuse me is just thinking out loud......=) will review the balance before end game yes.
p.s. Diary and Printable_Guide 1.2 in this mod, Oh, Yes! I think it's a great achievement.
With respect. ty very much for your feedback!
