Unreal Engine Wicked Island [v0.8.6.1] [RawDarkness]

[CaptainBipto]

I'm not sure if this question was asked before, but could you tell me where the best place to build a house is?

Overall the game is not bad, there are some bugs and glitches.

The Southern half of the island has quite a few flat, open areas for buiding. The Northern half has a lot more hills and dense forest, but you can build there if you can find a decent spot.
Any place where there is flat, level ground is going to be good. Any place that doesn't have any roaming monsters is going to be good.

If you are at the fisherman's hut, there is a small flat space about 30 meters west of the hut that people have used. It is right on the same hill as the hut is on, so it is a pretty small space, skip it if you want something bigger.
Towards the desert there is a nice wide open area, just down the hill from the fisherman hut. It's a long walk to get to anything, but it is a nice open space.
If you go 'a few hundred meters' north and west of that hut, there is a nice open space between two small forests. There are a lot of trees to harvest, plenty of charcoal, tons of copper to mine, and plenty of other resources to harvest.

New hideout finally complete. With crafting building as well.

Questions - having searched the thread I don't think I am asking already answered Qs
(this game really does badly need a functional guide)

• Repairing used equipment (pickaxes etc):ahem... ETA of course after posing the question about using repair kit I immediately figured out that I was doing wrong order... (trying to put the item on the kit and not the other way around)
• Discarding used up / broken equipment: in case repair isn't possible (besides putting in a box)?

• Repairing used equipment (pickaxes etc):ahem... ETA of course after posing the question about using repair kit I immediately figured out that I was doing wrong order... (trying to put the item on the kit and not the other way around)
• Discarding used up / broken equipment: in case repair isn't possible (besides putting in a box)?

It sounds like you figured out how to use the repair kits, dragging the Kit onto the item. A popup tooltip or something on the repair kit that says to drag and drop onto the item you want repaired wouldn't hurt.

For discarding anything, just drag and drop it onto an empty spot around the UI.

So, when you open your inventory, down at the bottom right of the screen there is a nice little gap to the right of the hotbar that is perfect for dragging and dropping things out of your inventory. You can use any 'empty space' around the inventory screen, I only mentioned the bottom right area because that is the area I use to discard things.
I am pretty sure you can do the same thing when you have chests, barrels, or any other loot window open. Just drag the item to an empty space around the UI and then drop it. It should throw the items onto the ground and when you move far enough away from that area, the discarded items will despawn.

is there a way to turn off the close range light?

I am assuming that you are talking about that bright ball of light that sits over the left shoulder of the character.
There is no ' remove the blinding ball and just light up the area' button. You can either have the glowing ball or be blind at night or in dark areas.

So, if you want to get right of that light, you need to unequip the necklace/head piece you got from Isabel.

I'm referring to the automatic light when the camera gets close to the character.

Thanks.

Another clarification question that hopefully a good citizen can help: is there any way to see a list or determine who (& possibly where) the followers are? Having banged a satyr and given birth to one (and used research table), can't quite figure out if the birthed one has gone off or not (or even be sure on a list of followers... assuming in future I can add more)

 

[CaptainBipto]

Well, the picture helps. Would have been handy when I replied to you.

Sorry, though, I don't have an answer for you on that one. Maybe try turning off Lens Flare?

The only thing I can really suggest is to go into the settings and hover your mouse over the text for each setting. It should pop up a small tool tip with a short description of what each setting does. I never noticed that effect in my game, but that isn't saying much. I don't have a house built and I spend most of my time running around outside.

Thanks.

Maybe someone else will know better than I do, all I can really say is that your followers vanish into the Ether if you tell them to stay in one place and walk away from them or enter a dungeon.

In previous versions there was a hotkey for followers (U i think), but it never seemed to work right even when it showed that I had a follower/summon around me.

The tamed/summoned creatures tend to not hang around very long, especially if you tell them to stay in one place (such as around your base). So, think of your crafted summon as a 1 time use thing. Play around with it, have it follow you somewhere, and when you are bored of it, just tell it to stay and walk away. You do have to get knocked up again to be able to create another summon though.

thanks anyway for the answer.
I checked all the settings, and it seems there is no way to disable it that's why I was asking. it's a really annoying light that is accentuated near walls or during sex scenes if you get closer the camera to the scene.

Little repost for new users: map mineral spots.

so how can i see sex scene? monsters keep killing me instead of sex scene

Possible Reasons you are dying instead of seeing 'the sexy times':

#1 - You haven't enabled Defeat Sex. Press the Escape key and on the page for Game settings there should be an option to enable Defeat Sex.

#2 - You can't fuck everything in the game. There are enemies that will just kill you no matter how slutty your character is. Sexable enemies have 2 small hearts to the left of their name. If it doesn't have a heart, it will kill you.

#3 - (<- most likely scenario) You don't have enough Grit points. How much Grit your character has is denoted by small pink hearts above your health bar. Grey hearts (empty hearts) are not Grit points. Pink hearts are Grit points.

Why is Grit important? The number of Filled (Pink) hearts (aka Grit Points) MUST equal the number of skulls that a enemy has. So, if an enemy is 5 Skulls above its name, you need to have 5 pink, filled, hearts (Grit Points) to be able to have sex with that monster and not be killed.
1 Grit point equals 1 skull. 8 Grit points equal fuck pretty much whatever you want. Empty hearts (Grit Points) do not count.

Thanks this helps, at least I know I'm not blindly missing something - I suspected this was the case but thought there was a possibility I had missed a function or key.

Other question for the Helpful People in demystifying - I know from the thread that there has been significant buginess on using the followers but wondering on current version (0.8.5.5 to avoid ambguity) if there is wisdom, so far I seem not to have great success in getting them to do anything (other than sex which is of course a main attraction although it seems easy to get misalignment on the animations [also noticed comment in thread on that]).

Anyone find the X and Cntrl X working?

I wish there were hair colour presets, because I can't figure out how to make brown hair...

The RBG Values make no sense at all...

Edit: Apparently, I can't get pregnant a second time. Doesn't matter what creature or save.

Edit2: I just noticed it says "time multiplier" in the options. So I assume that the effects are the opposte of what I thought.

Bug: I found several points where the floor has no collision in the Grandwood Ruins: it falls inside the runescape and there is no way out.

the time multiplier multiplies the length of the pregnancy, so 5x is 5x the normal length. If you want it shorter, set it to like .5 or something

Noticed that, yes. Thank you anyway.

Now I have an actual problem: The text immediately continues when I talk to someone. Any Idea what causes that?

The text issue is a game bug.

It isn't anything on your end, everyone is having that issue where text just keeps flying past and you can't read anything except the last page, if that even.

I intentionally dropped one of my babies on the ground. In the open. In the middle of a field. And walked away from it. With every intention of abandoning the thing until it was dead.

actually how on earth does one even drop a baby in the field?
Or even other items - I opened up Inventory out in field myself but escapes me how to drop things (which I suppose is good in a way to not idiotically lose stuff unintentionally)

(do the babies even die? I put one in a box and it seems to be immortal... in the box at least)

.... She asked for werewolf seed samples (5). I have several seed samples in storage. You must fashion empty bottles from glass at the workbench. Glass is made by cooking sand in the furnace. With empty bottles in your inventory, when you have sex you obtain at least one sample, or perhaps on sample per session. Edit: ( You can obtain samples when defeating them also as long as you have empty bottles for collection. )

another question for the Good Citizens: while I have successfully collected samples by killing the Werewolves (etc), I prefer a Make Love not War strategy, but although I have five empty bottles, can't quite figure out how to collect the seed from the sex sessions. Sans doubt not doing something obvious but....

ah yes, I thought myself I had missed a setting...
