Construction of my homestead has been pretty good today. Got a few things done, such as finally adding the last plank to my house, working on the fence, repaving the road where my old house was, and moving my old forge out of the way.
So with construction starting to near completion, am I happy with the process so far? Well, at first when I planned the idea in Mapper, it seemed good. Trouble is… it’s lacking something. Something called a Log Cabin feel. It’s the fence, highway, and the hill around and behind my house. All three things are throwing off my enjoyment of living here.
I know I said I would feel like I’m living TS2 style. But this isn’t TS2. I should’ve known cars wouldn’t be invented yet. But thought the cart garage was a pretty good idea.<\/p>\n
With the fence. I feel like I’m trapped in a box and can’t get out to expand.<\/p>\n
The highway. I wish there was a way I could… move it around my Homestead? It seems to be the thing that’s throwing everything off.
No one walks on it or even visits me. So why have it? .. Why even lock my doors and fences?
I feel like I’m sharing an old road no one owns or goes on except me and angry.<\/p>\n
And the hill? God I wish I could flatten that piece of shit without hitting rock tiles. I have all of that land to play with and I have to give it up due to fucking rock tiles.<\/p>\n
I got to remind myself though. That this place is just temporary. Once Elysium finally decays fully, it’ll be mine… err, ours. Angry and Gop will also be living there.<\/p>\n
Later on as I was trying to figure out what to do with making my land alittle better, a guy named “Redsyndicate” pops up in my local, needing help retrieving his corpse, and some food so he can outrun the two hostiles on the road. I grabbed two of Gop’s meals and handed them to him. Then noticed the scorp that didn’t notice the guy. I went over and tried to lure it to my deed. As I did the game decides to lag, giving me a few heart-jumping “URRGH!!” pain sounds.
But I made it back to my deed ok… however the scorp had better ideas instead of walking in and introducing itself to my guards.
I tried repeatably and from different angles to lure the bastard, but it wouldn’t come in and gave me a few “mementos” in the form of light wounds. One time it nearly gave me a leet wound at 13.30 damage. That’s almost a medium wound.
I told myself to stop pissing it off or it’ll kill me, and left it alone. Finally my wounds healed and angry comes on and also tries to lure it into the deed, but no go. He then goes to play around with my “uberforge” as he calls it. I have no choice but to ask kchat for help, and I get it in the form of Beartrap.
He unfortunately doesn’t know how to get here, or how to follow directions… he keeps telling me I have to meet him at BBHX(Bearback Highway Crossroads) which doesn’t exist anymore(it’s now Trading Post). I would meet him except there’s a Mature starving slow black bear in my way.
Finally he responds to my directions. Then me and angry help him kill the bear, along with the scorp.
Soon I have to go to bed since it’s nearly 4am. Tomorrow I need to go to Elysium and view it’s progress. Angry wants me to plan another house there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
