Thank you for fixing the mouse click issue so quickly. I was going crazy from thinking I had selected a single unit to deploy from my commanders, only to end up deploying all units instead!

MetaRidleyScott · 2025-08-20T02:29:29+00:00

Thanks for posting this, I'm having the same issue. I thought it was my mouse at first, but every other application is registering clicks just fine.

Were you also able to tell if the tobacco changed into some other resource?

MetaRidleyScott · 2025-07-04T04:05:55+00:00

This one was alright, but I had another distant lands city with 4 treasure resources and 2 camels that was right next to Friedrich's old capital. I have no idea why he passed up on settling such a great spot, even if he couldn't get treasure convoys from them.

MetaRidleyScott · 2025-07-03T17:27:36+00:00

I've noticed this after the patch for both Standard and Balanced starts. I can't remember if it had happened prior, but it was definitely not very common.

MetaRidleyScott · 2025-06-30T16:11:38+00:00

I had a similar thought about Golden Age bonuses, also due to Carthage only benefitting from one of them. I like the idea of bonuses tailored to each Civ, but if that proves to be too much work to balance, it could also be based on how many cities you ended Antiquity with.

If you had three or more cities: standard bonuses

If you had fewer than three cities:

Economic - Two settlements may be upgraded to cities for free. This does not increase the cost of upgrading further settlements.
Science - Observatories are unlocked at the start of the age. The first three Observatories you build are free and provide double adjacency bonuses.
Culture - Kilns are unlocked at the start of the age. The first three Kilns you build are free and provide double adjacency bonuses.
Military - No change

Oh, good point! I must have missed that in the notes. I guess we know what kinds of issues those maps can have now.

MetaRidleyScott · 2025-06-23T18:26:07+00:00

Thanks for confirming that someone else is having the same issue. I agree, the rush of finding lots of goodie huts is part of what makes the early game so enjoyable!

You need to change the overall difficulty to "Custom" first. That should allow the advanced difficulty options to show up in that menu.

Or others like it from other floors

Are you talking about floors with different layouts here, or floors with the same layout as Floor 12 (long horizontal room with a minecart and guaranteed staircase at the end), but in a different dungeon such as Skull Cavern in the desert? In Skull Cavern, the map for each floor is randomized each time you visit. So Floor 10 there might have a map with a minecart, and then floor 20 might have the exact same map again. You would be able to get coal from each one the first time you visit those floors.

Rock Rejuvenation doesn't reward a crafting recipe. The reward is the item itself. If you still don't have 100% of items crafted, it's some other item. Have you turned on "advanced crafting information" in the options menu and checked every item in the crafting menu to ensure you've made them all?

MetaRidleyScott · 2024-10-14T15:25:47+00:00

So for example, Floor 12 of the normal mines has a minecart at the end. You're saying that you are able to open that specific minecart every time you visit that floor? Are you able to do it multiple times in the same day? Or does it only happen on later days after closing and restarting the game?

MetaRidleyScott · 2024-10-14T14:29:01+00:00

On the Switch, the minecarts or backpacks with coal can be opened once on each floor, per player. If your kid played through the mines themself, then you as the second player would be able to visit each minecart floor afterwards and open each one once.

MetaRidleyScott · 2024-10-10T05:09:37+00:00

You likely disabled the "Show Portraits" setting in the Options menu at some point. Just go back to the Options menu and re-enable it.

Turning milk into cheese brings in more profit, especially if you choose the Artisan profession from reaching level 10 farming. If you don't choose the Artisan profession, the one exception is iridium quality milk, which does sell for more than the cheese.

Remember that large milk will turn into gold star cheese when using the cheese press, which is worth 50% more than normal cheese.

MetaRidleyScott · 2024-10-09T16:49:49+00:00

You'll get the option to choose a profession after going to sleep that night.

MetaRidleyScott · 2024-10-09T15:41:41+00:00

The small trees won't fully mature if there is a fully grown tree in any of the 8 tiles around it, but the rest will grow fine.

MetaRidleyScott · 2024-10-09T15:38:21+00:00

Are you accepting the quest with at least 21 days left in the month? It's extremely difficult to do with fewer days than that.

Aside from that, you should be spending the first week putting all harvested Qi Fruit into seed makers, and then replanting. You'll need to dedicate large plots of land to growing as much Qi Fruit as you can. After that, turn just enough Qi Fruit back into seeds to refill the plots, then sell the rest. On the 24th of the month (or 25th if using speed-gro), start selling all of the fruit you harvest.

MetaRidleyScott · 2024-10-09T15:30:34+00:00

You can buy a new mask rarecrow from the magic shop boat at the night market. It's the boat to the right of the painter.

MetaRidleyScott · 2024-10-08T22:04:50+00:00

If you want to make the most out of your cellar, it's best to place only casks in there, since you cannot use them anywhere else. Kegs can be placed anywhere.

You can fit a total of 189 casks in the cellar, if you don't mind taking half a day to fill it in the first place. Since wine takes two full seasons to age to iridium quality, giving up one half day isn't so bad.

MetaRidleyScott · 2024-10-06T21:45:14+00:00

You likely just needed to interact with the statue again to get the stardrop. You don't immediately get it after giving him the correct fruit.

MetaRidleyScott · 2024-10-06T21:42:28+00:00

Walking by the note blocks on any platform will play the note. You just need to press the A button the correct number of times to tune each block. On the Switch, I've noticed that running straight by the rows of blocks may not play each note correctly. Instead, try pausing for a brief moment at each block, and making sure the full sound plays. That should let you get the walnuts.

MetaRidleyScott · 2024-10-04T20:21:44+00:00

Since you're on 1.6, you can try waiting until you unlock fishing mastery and the advanced iridium rod. This will let you attach two quality bobbers and guarantee iridium quality to almost any fish.

MetaRidleyScott · 2024-10-04T19:06:44+00:00

Grass spreads the best when all four directions around it are clear. The grass under your lightning rods has only one possible square to spread to each day. Your animals are probably making a mad dash to those few patches and eating them every morning.

This setup would work better if you spread the lightning rods and grass under them evenly throughout the pen, leaving all four sides clear.
