Is anyone else having serious issues avoiding Hypocalcemia? I’m pretty much finding myself unable to realistically avoid it short of taking daily multivitamins. Other than dairy products, which are pretty much gone from the game after the first couple seasons, the only major sources I’ve been able to find are Bone Broth, which requires multiple animals worth of bones to create one serving, and eggs/scrambled eggs, which aren’t available at all in some seasons and still require you to eat five of them just to get through a day without getting Rickets.
If anyone has any strategies for avoiding this that don’t take up the entire day, every day, please let me know.
Meat, and most other meat or fish based food items, give 4% daily recommended dose per serving. It’d be pretty tough to meet the RDI from meat alone. You’d think you could get it from eating bones, but neither bones nor bonemeal give any calcium at all by themselves, and the only way to get calcium from them is bone broth, which is pretty arduous to gather the materials for and takes an hour to cook.
It’s a minor issue, as vitamin supplements are plentiful, but it feels a little off that just eating a balanced diet of meat and vegetables isn’t enough to stave off vitamin deficiency.
I’m curious as to how pre-agricultural humans, or herbivorous animals for that matter, get their calcium?
Well it comes up with a Hypocalcemia message, and says my bones are becoming brittle. Does that not actually do anything yet?
Also, it seems the issue isn’t quite as bad as I thought, seeing as I haven’t had the message reappear in several days now, though I don’t know what my character has actually done in order to change that. I did start cooking and eating beans from my stockpile, but they only have an 8% RDI listed, and I really don’t think I was eating 12 of them per day?
Yeah, nutritional stats still need some tweaking. I supplement my character’s meat and veggie diet with boiled eggs for calcium. They keep forever basically and are volume/weight light, makes a perfect snack for long trips away from home.
Random question… I was browsing the in game item list and discovered the mythical weapon replicas.
Is there any point at all in making those? I thought maybe there would be a way to make them actually magical but it seems the true Mjolnir is only available through spawning it in. And the others don’t even have “real” versions.
I think it’s one of the mods that are included as standard. They’re in a book about Viking weaponry.
Anyway they’re basically swords hammers and bows made from super expensive materials like gold and silver but not seeing to actually do anything special.
Meanwhile Mjolnir itself is made of steel and wood and does 999 damage.
The rest are just replicas from a mod, mundane if fancy weapons modeled after legendary artifacts. The actual Mjolnir is a debug weapon, like the Flaming Chunk of Steel +2.
Oh I see, so the real thing existed before the mod?
Just seems a bit lame to me that there are all these weapons that can be crafted from gold and precious stones etc but unless you’re specifically using the ones from the arcana mod they’re basically shiny junk or at best just not great compared to normal weapons.
Anyone here have experience using vehicle mounted flamethrowers?
I just realised I don’t know how you give them ammo. Do they feed directly from the vehicle’s installed fuel tanks? Do they need a specific tank installed on the same tile?
I’m wondering how you make them use the right ammo. e.g. How to make sure it fires napalm not your petrol.
