This, so much this.

Without using external sources to learn how to craft (onetech, youtube), I would have surely given up on this game before really understanding it at all. Even after the addition of the search ability it's still so difficult to learn new recipes ingame, I really resent doing it but I use onetech instead. I found learning to make a deep well nigh on impossible using the search for example... much easier to use another source.
I feel like the search ability ingame is more of a crutch than anything. I hope that Jason finds a way to make it easier to learn new crafting recipes ingame, otherwise I dread to think how it's going to look as more and more things get added..

The logic goes something like this... When I was very new to the game and didn't really know how to do much of any job in a town let alone figure out what a town needs, I tried to tidy up. Yes, this included throwing all those poor dead lambs in the trash pits. I simply didn't know any better, I didn't know that the lambs despawn relatively quickly, I didn't know that throwing the lambs into the pits will fill the pit up and let the sheep escape. I genuinely thought I was being helpful, when in reality the opposite is true... Sure it's easy but maybe stop using pits as fences to hold your sheep in, it's the only way I can see that particular problem being resolved.

I know your pain, many a time my life has ended with me as an angry old person yelling at people in town over stuff like this...

Thing is we're fighting a losing battle when using something ingame for something other than it's original purpose, it's a trash pit, it makes sense to throw stuff away into it. Now if we could dig ditches instead....

You've made some good points here, as a new player the game is difficult enough without having people F-ing and blinding at you left right and centre for being a bit clueless. Sure there is the tutorial now but it doesn't actually teach you very much and I think it's easy to walk through most of it without really reading the notifications.

Someone once did yell at me for eating a carrot off of his farm, I was starving to death and it was the only thing I could see that was edible... due to being embarrassed for my ineptitude I didn't stick around and ask why I shouldn't eat the carrots (or give him a chance to explain) and simply ran off and (probably) died in the woods anyway...
I think for this reason I didn't get the kind of abuse you did, I was too embarrassed to even attempt working on something I had no clue how to do. So promptly spent most of my time foraging alone desperately trying to stay alive, I think it took me about 3 days before I found out you could dig up and eat burdock... yes, most of the time I died before age 20.

Now I myself have cursed at people rather strongly a number of times; maybe it's the 8th time someone has taken a bowl or some other object I'm using out from under me in a single life. I feel bad after when I realise it could have been a total new player but ehhh...

If I'm female in a big city I'll ask my babes some simple questions, can you make compost, etc. If they answer no I'll ask them if they wanna learn, not once have I had someone say no. Also if I see someone who's dithering around a lot and doesn't seem sure what to do I'll ask them if they're new, and again ask the simple questions; these people are very willing to learn too.

I find it generally quite easy to teach them too, get them to watch you while you work and highlight key points such as "only feed the lambs". just ensure you have some food in the areas you're working (you might need to point it out) to avoid losing them as they go looking to fill their bellies. Once they've been shown how to do it once ask them to do it with you, everyone I've taught has always been super grateful to me for showing them something new.
Like that time I was nearing my death in a fledgling camp, I was making a well and knew that one of our family were pretty new to the game. With shovel in hand I asked him to follow me, I made sure he had seen the empty pond with the pile of stones, then bam! smacked it with the shovel and... he learnt how to make a well!

....I don't remember your name but I do remember your face and your manner... Here's to the shepherd who taught me making mutton pies within my first week of play, he requested that I no longer made berry pie as we had sheep and mutton pie is king. He then proceeded to show me how to make said pie in lightning speed time, asked me if I understood to which I timidly replied "think / so", at which point he ran off to tend to his flock. One of the few times I learnt how to craft anything ingame without resorting to https://onetech.info/

Weed family?! Was it this family line? http://lineage.onehouronelife.com/serve … _id=879583

I loved that little camp, am glad you guys survived as long as you did. Oh and incase you see this ma, I did bury you in a lovely spot by a tree just north of our little village

When I first started I honestly thought there was already a kind of hidden overflow tank, based on where the vertical line sat on your hunger meter when you overeat, heh.
