Have a LOOK at the flora growing around you

Post by Rias »

Per the changelog: After using the SURVEY command in a room, the LOOK command can now be used to target a room's flora growth and potentially show a brief description of the targeted flora. (This targeting priority is last after all other attempted matches.)

This was a sort of tangent I ended up on while setting something up that involved introducing some more flora that I figured people might want to get a little more descriptive info on. In any case, I think it adds a little more depth to the world and that makes me happy. I did pretty much run out of steam after going over the non-tree plants, so all the trees still look boring at the moment (well, technically not all of them ...). So aside from trees, if anyone notices any non-tree survey flora that still have placeholder descriptions, go ahead and report them with the BUG command in-game, preferably with the report starting with the word "flora" just so the bugs of this type are easier to find and knock out. Placeholder descriptions are pretty obvious, things like "It's your typical specimen of a blueberry bush" or just "It's a blueberry bush." But again, don't report the trees! I already know I haven't gotten to them yet.

This has made my day.
"There is an old song which says: 'Some take delight in the fishing and the bowling, others take delight in the carriages a-rolling …' Well, to tell the truth, I take great delight in singing. … Many a long mile I have shortened with a verse of a song on my travels, and my singing has taken me many a long mile around the world. In all the places I have been, I've found that people generally like to sing. Isn't it great that even in this age of push-button entertainment—no matter how lavish and wonderful it may be—most people still prefer to sing a song themselves?" —Tommy Makem
