When is this fucking game I barely understand that is already consuming my life fucking coming out? I hate early access games so much it's unreal.
>>
>>744221725
You hate them because they release in early access. They release in early access because you still buy the game. It's your fault. Stop buying games in early access.

>>744221725
i love everything about Elin except for the fact that i'm fucking incompatible with the amount of stat management in the game. Everything is a stat and i'm too OCD to manage it all. I'm too autistic to wrap my head around the farming and how to properly do it to raise your levels, etc. I got fucking filtered and like 20 hours in i was convinced that i bricked my save because i wasn't levelling up correctly or something. I want to go back and try again but i need a really good and simplified guide on the basics again.
>>
Is the dev still dropping updates everyday?
>>
>>744222149
I have like 75 hours I played that I abrely remember. I think most of it was just learning, making mistakes, and starting over. the game is fucking brilliant, but I fully expect to be filtered time and time again still. anyway, I blew like 4 hours into a new save last night and goddamn is it a great game

easier typed than done. Managing that + storing the right seeds + figuring out how much time to dedicate to training + making money + it never fucking ends with the systems. I sometimes get close to convincing myself to just ignoring the metas and trying again but i can't help but feel i'm playing the game wrong.

it's sandbox Nethack, the rpg elements are really well thought out and there's a lot of unique modifiers that can keep you experimenting with stuff you've already "figured out"

>>
>>744222982
Plant husbandry min-maxxing can be put off until your farming gets higher since seeds will be power-leveled to match your farming.
Training skills should almost always be making you money at the same time, the exception being stuff like weight lifting that can't be actively raised.

>I'm too autistic to wrap my head around the farming and how to properly do it to raise your levels
Farming is pretty braindead. Just start from the best cooking recipe(s) you have and work backwards from there with the stats you want in mind. Once you're actually made your superfood you can have the dupe guy make copies of it. Excess produce can be made into booze for sale.

gotta find an altar aligned to the god you want first.
>>
>>744223773
You can convert at an altar. You'll come across one sooner or later, there's fixed ones in towns but they pop up randomly in dungeons and wilderness too.

Ehekatl's altar is relatively light, carry them home whenever you can, you can convert them into an altar of whatever god you're currently worshiping.

I don't like the story and I don't like the preset map. I wish it was all randomized, the worldmap, the towns, the npcs you encounter, adjusted by your level of course.

>>744224197
only real timer is paying your taxes, as long as you're a good little goy then you can do everythign at your own pace.
>>
>>744224197
I forget what altar(s) were at Palmia. A bit straight north from there you'll find Truce Ground which has every altar (except the foxes?) and also a generator you can grab if you can carry it.
>is there any consequence for taking too long in this game?
As long as you can manage your taxes and ether disease, no.
>>
>>744222149
i always just skip farming, buy inn food early, and make some decent enough high stat dish from some good stat egg or higher level meat or fish instead and then just kettle dupe it, doesn't do well for every stat tho probably
i don't like farming either

for the sexmod, should the nymph keep her original design as an ordinary girl with a harp (lyre?) or redesigned with an explicit succubus look. I guess the idea is she's supposed to be more of a siren.
>>
>>744222982
You are always making progress no matter what you're doing, if that makes you feel any better. The new(ish) slime race also allows you to get insane abilities. If you wanna ignore food you can also be a vampire or a succubus, or a slime who absorbs a succubus. They won't overtake perfect food in the long-run, but they'll certainly service you long enough to play for hundreds of hours until you figure out food. In fact, Vampires scale with the learning stat virtually indefinitely so you'll still be improving your food benefits for thousands of hours even without learning to cook.
>>
>>744224197
>is there any consequence for taking too long in this game?
You have a grace period at the start where you don't take a penalty for dying. Good chance to do a first visit to various towns so you can use magic to get there later.
>>744224497
Extremely early? Pick some flowers from the squares surrounding your base (they regenerate every couple of days) and toss them in. From there you can transition into booze made from what you farm or fish* or dungeon loot you don't need.

*You can saw fish into bonito flakes which can then be turned into booze. This is a very potent way of making money way into midgame.

You could also hit a town and do quests for money.

I haven't played in a while but I assume it's Fairy+Executioner since both of them have good feats that you can't get normally (Fairy's special dodge can be recreated with Mist of Darkness, but this spell is more inconvenient than the fairy's passive because it's not a simple self-buff).
And good luck farming all those flying scrolls to deal with your equipment weight limit.

Equipment weight can be modified with flying scrolls, you just need to invest in magic shops (shitloads of money required).
Golem's bleed/dim immunity is great but they kinda suck because of their low base speed (can be solved with a mount, but that requires adding another skill to your grindfest list) and light eater feat (food is one of your main sources of stat gains).
Slime is a new race and I haven't played with it yet, but I assume having access to gene customization is great for minmax players.

Elin is a simulation game. It's about creating a character that lives in the world and controlling what they do. There's really nothing for it to open up for after the initial tutorial, quests are all optional. Pick a goal, break it down into smaller objectives and start working. Everything else like starting a farm to make better food that increases your gains for particular stats is just a shortcut in the long run.
There are no limits and you can do anything, but if you try to do everything you are either going to immediately burn out or commit the next 3000 hours of your free time to the game. Probably more if you care about making your home look nice.
>>
>>744228487
Yerles are americans.
Eulderna are the average fantasy desert people from your favorite japanese cartoons.
Juere are just gypsies.
Eleas are knife-ears (and their women is the source of all the problems in Elin's society).
Hillfolk are dwarves.
Golems are rock people (they look like normal people, but with rocks, like rock horns and rock skin cancer).
Mifu/Nefu are fox kemonomimi nippon banzai people.
Everyone else is the standard fantasy race (fairy is fairy, centaur is centaur, etc.).

Nope, Elona+ is focused on the "numbers go up" side of Elona (and combat in general) and Ano's expanded universe of big titty magic aids angels and sexy singing ducks and the occasional "piss forest" update.
Elin is Elona with more content and improved versions of old/abandoned features (now you can build manage your own town, extract/add enchantments, etc.), plus better mod support. Combat also got some extra features (like weapon and shield types having innate enchantments) but don't expect to be able to "nothin personnel" enemies with teleporting 8-hit 100% crit rate attacks or to blindly spam a large collection of low-cost screen-wide AoE attacks.

Remove that and let me just play the fucking game. Is there a way to just have max "Potential" growth at all times? A cheat or whatever, I don't care. The farming and stuff is really boring and getting +10 ingredients is an inhumane grind.

sell flowers, hearts, and offal at the beginning, if you're ultra poor.
pretty sure taxes are also affected by fame, so selling that shit will not only give you money, but lower the subsequent tax bills
however, fame correlates to dungeon levels, and thus, the quality of gear.

>>744245998
mushrooms are super easy to grow as far as farming is concerned
make sure to dig up weeds and other useless plant-life around your base, since they occupy fertility, needed to grow crops. This can include trees
you'll need to learn better recipes, and get better crafting stations before you get good food, so even just meat on the bone is fine for a beginner
>>
>>744246445
You can get people drunk and have sex with them in this game.
You do this by throwing bottles of alcohol at them and asking them if they want to watch birds with you, and then two fully clothed sprites move up and down a little. After that they throw some money at you like you're a whore too. And there's the succubus race that gets stats from having sex.
There is no explicit imagery or even arousing dialogue here for the normal individual, you have to imagine it or mod it in. It's less horny than your average shovelware fanservice game if that's what you're expecting.

and slot machines and basketball

>>744246445
If you play succ/inccubus you can hide worms in food and gift them to other people and this would make them horny and teleport on top of you at night which drains your stamina

the succ mechanic is so dumb

You can just run nefias over and over again. You don't really need to engage with base bulding or farming unless you want to really optimize your character

It's like you printed something directly from my own conscience. Please stop.

you go to tinker town early and learn the appraising skill so you can do it passively, and there's a mage vendor there too where you can pay to identify shit too

ok I have a farm. what do I grow to make money?

where in the fuck do I get scrap

Reading this thread makes me want to play Elin again but I don't want to try and figure out what I was doing with my old char and I don't want to go through the early game again with a new char.
>>
>>744252141
You grow mushrooms to turn into bait, then catch fish, saw them up into bonito flakes, and ferment into fish wine. So you have to progress until you can craft barrels. But I haven't played in awhile so this method is probably old and shit I dunno.

this is the greatest video game I've ever played I think. it's stardew valley if it wasn't gay.

Learning recipes is still retarded.

Vote with your time, retard. You only have a few years on this planet and you're spending it playing a half-finished game and whining about it on a mongolian stone smoothing forum infested by the FBI.

>>744236026

It's a shame the game doesn't actually generate maps like this and makes basically no use of the verticality it supports.

Infact, the map generation the game has right now just sucks. Most dungeons look the same and there is like 3-4 layouts, all the open areas look almost identical, and most of the towns aren't that impressive either even though they were handmade.
>>
Wait why is Juere the brown choice?
>>
>>744252141
I turned rusted nails into fish I think

>>744255308
Oh shit you're right. Yes, I got Yerle and Juere mixed up. I haven't played in a while.

>>744253296
The early "hobo with grass house" game feels shorter and shorter every time I replay Elin with a new character.
>>
>>744229593
So there's no whites. Bleak.
>>
how do weapons even work. I equip it to my hand spot on the right, but it never comes out when fighting unless I hit a hotkey with nothing on it then sometimes it comes, sometimes it doesn't. do I just need to set it to a hotkey? what is the hand equip slot for then?
>>
The only time I played this I played for hours, barely walked around, garbage started piling up, the garbage caught fire somehow, I caught fire somehow, and I died. I play 4X games that should be more complicated than this
>>
>>744255750
If it's a melee weapon, you just equip it in the slots and it'll automatically use in combat when you're not holding something else. If it's something like a gun or a staff, you have to put it on your hotbar and use it like a consumable.
>>
>>744255936
so I have to leave a hotbar slot open? it wontjust overwrite it when im using a tool?
>>
>>744256056
No. Eventually you will have multiple weapons anyways
>>
>>744256164
I still don't understand how it is suppposed to work. i have a sword. I equipped it to my hand slot. now how do I reliable switch to it when I'm holding an axe?
>>
>>744256164
nvm I figured it out. just scrolling up moves it off the hotbar to your equipped weapon,
>>
>>744256195
You scroll on your hotbar over to the hand/free slot on the left instead of onto your axe, in the default UI.
>>
I'm busting my fucking balls going into caves day in and day out so I can maybe get one scrap I need of 5 to make a fucking watering can to water my plants.
>>
>>744256387
Use the pickaxe on those metal caves
>>
>>744256575
what metal caves??
>>
>>744256721
Well, they're not caves. They're like rusty copper-like ruins. You should find some of those easily.
>>
>>744256721
the nefia that look like little castles iirc?
>>
It's been at least 6 months since I played and even though I've made four different characters I still feel like I wasn't understanding what to do in the mid/late game. Anything change the last couple of months that breaks the game? The last thing I remember was trying to get high lvl monster eggs and using milk to fuck around with stats but I never actually tried doing it.
>>
>>744256992
I'm gonna be real, I am just figuring out how to sustain myself, I have barely gona anywhere but the same two dungeons and one town
>>
>>744244879
Play a vampire
>>
>>744257087
Then craft a hammer and smash trash/furniture.
>>
>>744257178
what furniture gives you scrap?
>>
>>744257629
Metal stuff. But you should get enough smashing just empty cans.
>>
>>744256387
You should also get the scavenger feat and max it out asap. Traps in dungeons give plenty of good materials for early game
>>
>>744257963
I have put every feat into fath and being a good believer. I don't know why. This is my path,
>>
>>744258180
basically as long as rent stays the way it is while I slowly branch out and figure shit out, then I'm good. but this game has a steep learning curve for sure.
>>
>>744258210
Yeah, the welcome backy experience.

>muh scaling
sell your fame
just sell your fame
literally just sell your fame that solves all your problems
you don't need to grind or farm to keep up
>>
>>744244928
I thought they scale with fame?
>>
>>744258630
Yeah, there's also a setting that mitigates it in the world settings too.
>>
It's been a year since I last played so I do wonder how much has changed since then. Had a pretty nice city going too.

I love this game, it literally feels like one of these isekai where the protag becomes incredibly op

Some stuff also have a time (in-game years) modifier on top of the fame modifier, like taxes.
>>
>>744259579
Mifus are good as buff/debuff mages (inquisitors and any mage class) and Nefus are good as sword mages (warmages, sword sages, paladins).
>>
>>744259579
Mifu is for the traditional kitsune, based around trickery and whatnot. Nefu are the anime fox girls with big boobies, fighting with talismans and katanas and stuff. In-game and the lore they have basically the same culture, so it's just vibe or gameplay difference.
>>
>>744221725
Noa is probably going to keep tinkering with it for years and years, but the main quest will probably be done at some point.
>>
ok so I am surviving farming and selling what I get. I still for the life of me cant fucking get scrap, I made it to tinker town and had a moment of culture shock. more after a cup of coffee
>>
I'd like to be able to sail to the other continent but that'll likely take another 10 years of dev time
>>
>>744245959
>with piss turned off
You didn't play the game
>>
It's easy to get your base income to be higher than taxes once you know a little about the game. You just need one valuable item, like a generator or ticketing a high value bed from one of the towns, the +value to your highest item policy, then the tax policies. Ehekatl worshippers give the most with Faith tax so try to get them (Eyth worshippers give a bit more actually but that's a pain)
>>
>>744260023
Are berries and deep sea(weed) still the meta? Even a small manual plot with a few bushes will net you 30k per month. Even more if you worship the shota.
>>
>>744259915
>cant fucking get scrap
Go to the random dungeons on the world map, machinarium or whatever the type is called, and mine out the walls.
>>
>>744260440
what the fuck
>>
>>744260802
Breaking things with your pickaxe is one of your main sources of basic materials.
The other one is breaking things with your hammer.
