Roaming Fish Posted February 3, 2021 Report Share Posted February 3, 2021 What if I want to play a nomadic lifestyle? While setting up a farmstead is nice and all, sometimes I just want to hop on a horse and live on the move, while I carry my stuff on another horse. Set up some fur tents or yurts for when you and your buddies set up for the time being. Or just raiding another group of players on horses, raining arrows onto them. Burning down the wood buildings. What I desire is for my friends and I to become a steppe horde, just roaming the plains and fields, raiding other peoples farms and just living on the move. Maybe one day my dream of laying siege to my friends castle will come into reality with some catapults. I don't know, just my thoughts and imagination. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrEngine Posted February 3, 2021 Report Share Posted February 3, 2021 The most interesting: idea to carry more by use of a second horse with bags. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlphaRay Posted February 8, 2021 Report Share Posted February 8, 2021 A tent would be nice...made from fabric or leather. With bedroll made from fur. Only two items for complete home with bed. Fire in front for keeping creatures away + coocking. So you can explore the map for days without returning home every night..or for mining-missions. Like me in real live (but without mining ) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jobediah Timberman Posted February 18, 2021 Report Share Posted February 18, 2021 This thread was exactly the post I was looking for after working on this since December. And now this post will be exactly the "threads" you're looking for. More Info in the thread: The ABCS of Nomad-Mode Mod: The Advanced Backpack Construction System 1.0.0 Just now I'm remembering Dora, and the Map, and the Backpack, and now I've made a map to build backpacks. Don't worry though, I promise, it does NOT sing. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stroam Posted February 19, 2021 Report Share Posted February 19, 2021 In a block building game it's usually focus on building a place. This is contrary to a nomadic playstyle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aki Posted February 20, 2021 Report Share Posted February 20, 2021 I mean, the above backpack thing also seems impractical if you want to start of and keep being a nomad. Way too high flax costs for that, you'd need to have a flax farm first. I don't really see a nomad style happening unless we get pack animals - and even then it would require the player to either first build a temporary base, or get help from other players, if it's on a server.

l33tmaan Posted February 20, 2021 Report Share Posted February 20, 2021 Being a nomad doesn't mean that the heavens will smite you for making a farm and staying in one spot for a few months. You can make the flax farm, get your backpacks, dismantle everything, and only make camp when you want to. Sure can't wait for pack animals, though.

Roaming Fish Posted February 20, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2021 Sure it may be a block building game, but that doesn't mean you have to play it as such all the time. This is a game after all, If I want to start a nomad horde with my friends to survive and thrive in our own way, then I will enjoy it. Raiding another group of friends for resources will allow us to continue to improve our playing styles. Plus why dismantle the farm? Leave it as a landmark.

l33tmaan Posted February 20, 2021 Report Share Posted February 20, 2021 Well, with Jobediah's super fat backpacks, you could probably carry around the entire farm on your back. Leaving it behind would be wasteful, after all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
