If you click on the fresh beans with a bowl all the beans go in the bowl at once. Why not just have the same thing happen with dry beans and then just allow us to also use the dry bean bowl for planting purposes. That way no beans ever have to be on the floor they can just always be in a bowl. Keeps the bean station tidy forever. No janitor needed.

When I was born Ashland was teaching my mom how to make a well. While making sure to feed her berries while talking to her. He taught her how to name me. She named me Boar after the wild pig running around north of the village. Ashland died of old age before seeing me grow hair. I was planning on helping my mom just as Ashland did but she suddenly fell dead with no warning. I had also been feeding her berries when able, so seeing her suddenly die after I grew hair meant that she left now that I was there. I was depressed after this. The town was nearly empty already. With her dead it was only Toby and I left in the village, and he was close to dying as well.

I went on a journey to find more iron. I came back home to an empty village. When I gave birth to Tiffany I told her about my sadness over my mother and that we were the only ones left. Tiffany helped me by getting supplies for the sanction kit needed for a mine I found earlier. After I opened the mine I gave birth to Tytan. I juggled him and the ore cart all the way back home. Tiffany then used the cart to gather branches for fences so we could finally pen our sheep. I died next to the grave I made for Ashland. I felt that he was reason I was born more than my mother that left me.

Yep that worked for me. Thanks Jason!

If Jason does add the disconnection change I do think a facial expression is needed for that state. Disconnecting isn't just for babies. It will help with adult disconnects too. It probably won't happen but I'd also like to see that if you murder someone that is disconnected that there wouldn't be a murder penalty for it(The scream and the slow). That way if the baby and the village agree that they aren't wanted banning them from the lineage is easy. I wouldn't want to use this disconnect change to force people into situations they don't want to be in.

Here is an idea for a positive incentive system that might be viable and fit with the games atmosphere. I know Pein had the idea of quests, but I don't think MMO style questing fits in Jason's vision for this game. What if the "Job Board" wasn't an in game item to look at while you were an adult? What if it was something you saw before you pressed the "Get Reborn" button. Add a meta currency that can only be used in the afterlife. Earn if from doing jobs for people. Spend it to make job postings of your own. It is more like Craigslist than an MMO's quest system. The game doesn't know you are on a quest. OHOL might just help with the lineage matching process if the quest required a certain lineage. To collect your reward you'd just message the creator of the posting with a picture of the completed project in game. It would add an additional layer to the game because usually you don't have a mission with a life that young. What if you don't even live long enough to attempt your quest? What if your mom gives you a different job? Which one will you prioritize?

With this positive incentive you've got someone who wants to be there. Instead of "I don't want to be here what can you bribe me with to make me stay?" kind of incentive.

Even if there wasn't a Esc+% or close icon in windowed mode there is always a way for you to quit. Just use task manager. If someone doesn't want to live in your town you probably are not going to want for force them to be there. You can wish that they would be productive members of society but they will more likely sponge, kill, or worse destroy structures and natural resources.

I feel that this is a supernatural problem like we had with griefers that was solved with the curse system. We needed a curse system because even if you killed a griefer in one life they would be reborn and at some point so would you and you two would run into each other again and have this forever game of cat and mouse. The curse system removes the griefer from the pool of babies until their time out is over and hopefully they have learned their lesson.

Suiciding is the new griefing now that we have the curse system. I don't feel that even if you were to curse a suicide baby the results aren't the results you want. You wanted that child. It doesn't want to be there for whatever reason. You manage to name the child before it falls dead in your arms, and you curse the dead baby. Your curse sends the player to donkey town. You still have no child, and you might not ever get another one.

The game needs is some form of positive incentive to live every life as long as possible. That way suicide is decreased naturally because every life matters. In this game you can be reborn so easily that each life seems a little less meaningful. In real life you can't open your eyes as a baby and see that your daddy isn't wearing a Rolex in the hospital and say "GG. I didn't get the rich daddy. I'm out of here."

I don't feel that punishing these players will solve anything. It will just alienate them from the game. It needs to be something even something small like a text color change. That players can earn by living and not suiciding. This would be hard to implement though. What is the difference between not being fed by your mother and purposely dying of starvation as a baby by running around so no one can pick you up. Or accidentally stepping on snake vs. purposely stepping on a snake so you can die. If the change was just to try to prevent disconnects then babies will just find other ways to die.

Suiciding hits hardest when our player base is low. The steam release should help because although there may be some increase in suicide but there will also be an increase in total babies being born that it will be more likely that someone will stay. So maybe we won't need positive incentive to life added.

It's not right to curse suicide babies to donkey town. Donkey town is for major griefers. A time out to think about what they have done. Suicide babies just don't like their town or their mother. What they need is a ban from that lineage. Which is why i always kill babies that ask me to kill them. If they don't want to be here then I don't want them here either.

The problem comes that babies disconnect or don't vocalize their wish to be banned from this lineage. They get reborn again and again wasting the mother's birth cooldown. I still want to see disconnect players bodies stay on screen until they die of starvation or someone can murder them.

We just tested it out, and when you shoot someone with a note it makes the victim say what is on the note.

You can also use notes to curse people. If you are old enough to read the paper and have a curse token available it will get used when you pick up a note that says "Curse ....."

I think it is because of the ban. Most suicide babies are the same person coming back over and over. This causes extra clutter with their bones and is a waste of everyone's time.

On the other hand the murder penalties far outway the benefits of the ban. Unable to act after the murder you can't work and you might starve, and time wasted chasing the baby to kill them. Then you will most likely be murdered by someone else for killing a helpless child.

I still think I'd like to see that disconnected players don't die in game. I'd be better to have them in a coma and then the population can decide what to do with them. Murder penalties could be eliminated for killing someone in a coma. Can you waste resources feeding a female in a coma in the hopes of grandkids?

This would also help when there is a legitimate disconnection with someone's internet that was previously a good worker and people just wonder why they suddenly die.

You stand close to the person and say "you are ..." just like a baby. I know it works because I had to ask my uncle to name me once when my mom died young. He didn't think it would work but I got named. We stood on the same square. IDK if you have to be that close though.

I'm so glad the Delatours are still alive. My mom tried to move us to a new location and we were greifed by four bears. I went on an animal killing rampage after that.

Scorp I killed my first moving person on Sunday. The first time I put the knife down because I aimed at him. The second time I aimed for the tile that he was moving to and I got him. At full speed I have no idea how anyone could manage that but I got them while they were slowed. Hope that helps.
