Talk:How To Play

Why is this article locked?
Hello to you! I locked this article to anonymous users, meaning that only registered users can edit it. I made that decision because someone asked me to because it became difficult to prevent dead links and such. This is far from a good solution, but this is the one we found for now... Feel free to discuss about it here. -BowiQC (talk)

Possible Edit
Shouldn't we put the specifications for each of the neuronal branches inside the Neuronal article? It seems a bit precise compared to other things in the How To Play... --Altimesyos (talk) 07:48, 12 September 2019 (UTC)


 * I would say : we should. Together with tips on how to unlock the specific branch. From own experience : I seem to have difficulties unlocking "Senses" even though I use them all the time. Lordflinx (talk) 09:22, 12 September 2019 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks to whoever made a bunch of corrections anonymously. --BowiQC (talk) 17:09, 2 September 2019 (UTC)

Save system
Does anyone know how the save system works? I lost 4.5 game clock hours and around 15 minutes (real time) of my last session...--BowiQC (talk) 21:09, 2 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Hm... It seems opening the "neuronal" menu or whatever it is called in English does initiate an auto-save... --BowiQC (talk) 21:37, 2 September 2019 (UTC)
 * br:
 * It is correct saving the game as i know it is only possible via entering the neuronal skill tree on a sleep spot. TheBrezzl (talk) 08:53, 3 September 2019 (UTC)


 * Another possible saving tip : first discovery of a location or Oasis. I use this quite frequently when exploring. By the way : If you do NOT explore an oasis before you are moved there through the time jump while evolving, you loose the "first discovery" achievement for the timeline.

Babies' gender
It appears that babies are asexual. They get assigned a sex once they becomes adults. I don't know where to put that information, but here it is! ;) --BowiQC (talk) 03:26, 8 September 2019 (UTC)

Should we rewrite this article?
{ {Main|This is an example of what I mean}}

I think this article is too long and hard to read, especially with its introduction in the current state.

Shouldn't we try to write an article (Whether it's called "How to Play" or "Gameplay Mechanics" that gives the bare minimum of information, and expand each sections into a standalone article? (see "Main article: This is an example" above.) This page would rather be as spoiler-free as possible while the standalone articles would be for people who don't care about spoilers.

I also think that a few sentences from How To Play would be more appropriate for Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey (which also need a cleanup). Ancestors: The Humankind Odyssey serves as a basic article, like something we would see on Wikipedia. It's also the kind of article that we use on Main Page with a excerpt of it.


 * I agree with you, the How to Play page should be really summarised and linked to more precise articles for those wanting more info. --Altimesyos (talk) 09:31, 28 October 2019 (UTC)


 * I also agree with this, short and concise with links to more in depth articles --Fynxer (talk) 20:48, 28 October 2019 (UTC)
