haven't played hnh since january

just trying to figure out righ now how food and skilling systems work here.

Yeah it's quite different. You should really check this guide out:

Liking Salem a lot more than H&H too. Feels that a lot of stupid shit was removed, like having to tile and replant countless times to make a semi big field or waking up at 6am to refill steel or feed those worms for silk production..

Yeah it is, BDClient and Ender Client are already made around it.

Also, a new content update:

We've been developing, and here's what's new:


Developed Board Industry:
Sawbuck yields Fresh Boards.
Fresh Boards build Timber Pile.
Timber Pile (in ~five RL days) yields Dry Boards (or worthless moldy boards, should you fail).
Dry Boards build Press and Carpenter's Bench.
Press presses cottonseeds and pumpkinseeds to make oils.
By a carpenter's bench you can make planed boards (or wood choppings, should you fail. Hammer & Nail proficiency is relevant).
Planed boards build Oiling Trough.
Oil goes in oiling trough.
Planed Boards go in Oiling trough.
Planed Boards soak up oil in Oiling Trough over ~2 days to become either Warped Boards or Oiled Boards.
Warped Boards can be planed again in the same way as dry boards (to make planed boards, or wood choppings, should you fail).

Boston townhouses buildable:
Two floors each. Not free.

Shed:
Large outdoor container. Can't be moved. Not free.

Emotes:
Unlocked by skills. There's a bunch of them.

Random:
New boards used here and there.
Monogrammed pillow only costs one cloth
Wood Knot & Game Board inspirationals.

Some graphics are place holders.

Enjoy!

interesting, thats alot of processing to get oiled boards, but what do they do?

Builds you the new outdoor large storage container (Shed) and the new Townhouse. It's kind of like the material needed for high tier crafting/building. Probably going to add more stuff to use oiled boards on later.

Btw, I always enjoyed reading Chief PeePooKaka's posts/threads in House of Burgesses section, here's the recent one:

Yeah I managed to get one, I'm digging it so far, it's slow and a bit tedious, but oddly addicting. And the thought in my head of having my own little colony pushes me onward. 
Any advice for a new player?
