[Shipwreck] Balance broken for gold


Recommended Posts

With Pig King, gold were relatively quick to regenerate when you have too much leftovers: cook all food with fire, then feed to a caged bird for eggs, then exchange gold with those eggs with Pig King. Sickwreck introduced several new recipes (such as the Ice Generator 3000, Spyglass, Cutlass Supreme). Yaarctopus should accept eggs, then give gold or doubloons which could then be turned into golds. Or game balance is broken.

But the octopus king sleeps just after receiving a single fish, giving a single dubloon = 1/3 gold. You need to be around him for 6 days if you are trying to make an golden axe using him as the sole gold source. If not, then looking for gold is also too hard. (I am playing my 140 day of SW, end of the second volcano season). On the other hand, the clockwork boats seems to be spawning too much (I already have about 100 gears; the triplet spawned about 8 times).

 

Trinkets are not so easy to find. At the end of my second dry season, I have only two trinkets, and I play without a base anyway, ultimately at sea like Captain JS with my Black Pearl (armor boat with silk sail; I am looking for a better sail when they are implemented). Even so, I have only found two trinkets, from about 10 x marks the spots, and more than 5 whales.

Yes you can get dubloons from the pirate parrot. I found that the bird type is dependent on biome also in shipwreck; on seashore biome where you have seashells, sand piles and palm tress but not snakes and monkeys etc., it seems only tucans (black birds) appear. And, since the pirate parrot is a red bird, it does NOT spawn in that biome. However, other biomes are either too hostile or some resource is very restricted that it is not good for making a small home. (I don't like having a long time big base anyway). Maybe we should make the pirate parrot spawn also on seashores, not only in jungles.
 
 

+1, balance is a bit broken.

Neither gold or flincts are high renewable. I don't know which material I should use more frequently in tools. Vanilla and RoG don't have this issue, because you can always feed 40 eggs to the Pig King, plant twigs and have a (infinite) reliable source to the tools.

i have no problem with gold. i can give yaarctopus food for a trawl net and go into deep ocean and farm trinkets and the tools. i always get one golden tool and useful items. and killing whales will give you also some tools.

Well all u are talking about are random stuff, except exchanging stuff by food. But then, most those stuff are NOT a gold needed recipes, such as the trawl net you mentioned.

Also, Indirectly you will need gold to make nets, since you will need bamboo, who need machete, who need gold. I don't make the math, but I think the balance of the total gold is negative.
