Security Leak? #1130

DougLefelhocz commented 5 days ago

I just played as Sugar Spoon. A tan male comes to town, not using YumLife mod, and we have paper. I don't recall that character's name, only that the last name was Buddy. I write a note and drop it near him to ask for buckets of latex and palm oil. Then he speaks and it's completely understandable. I speak to him out in the wilderness also with no problem. Server count was like 50ish players. He wanted cactus fruits. I thought I saw cactus fruits suddenly appear in his horsecart and I even commented on spawning them. I played as Eve Spoon, Mina Spoon, Sara Spoon, Penny Spoon, and Sugar Spoon without any tutorial lives or use of /die in between. I mention that, because not only would it be an odd situation for tans to have learned blacks language, I don't recall seeing any tans in any of those lives, so I find it rather unlikely that language learning took place.

I hate the language barrier. I do think that any sort of resource exchange system would work better with all families having the ability to speak the same language.

However, it's more concerning if someone hacked the game and we have a security leak which enables them to arbitrarily bypass the rules which everyone else plays by.

Added: Also, I checked the waystone and it located the man, not any town's well. Once a town has a family well, waystones usually locate that well not people from what I can tell. Though, I haven't checked a waystone with someone that close and a family with a few other players from what I recall before.

Did you check if any other of the Jungle family members were understandable? I am unfortunately unable to do further research without having the full name, life ID, or something along those lines.

If you are able to send a link from the Wondible map where the interaction took place, and which items wrere handled by both of you, I might be able to find the rest of the player information
