You don't need to add a new homemarker, you can just dig up an existing one (with sharp stone) and place it down again.
You probably recieve your mum's homemarker if she has put one down.
How do I join? I edited the settings by deleting the localhost in the custom server address file and put a 1 for the use custom server file too. But when I logged on , I couldn't be born, plus it was laggy.
You have to delete 'LocalHost' (or something like that) in the file where you paste the URL.
I would like to try this, but how do I edit the settings you are talking about?
Obviously it's going to need tweaking as the game has just come out. But I don't think farming carrots is the first food tier. Playing solo, I managed to live off bunnies and berries. Also, farming bunnies means you can make clothes, which gives you time to invest in other things (like farming).
It is possible that we haven't worked out the best strategy yet for surviving and thriving. For example, are you wearing clothes? If you're naked, you consume 3 items of food for every 1 item of food you would consume if clothed. Therefore, sitting by a berry bush isn't going to be a very good long-term strategy, and it might be better to focus on hunting rabbits for fur.
To me, the unique selling point of the game seems to be about being a small part of a larger whole... using what previous generations made for you, so that you can take the next step to leave something behind for the next generation. If the algorithm was set up so that you could easily get back to where you left off, there might be too much permanence, and it would become more like other survival games (e.g., Don't Starve).
You might spend most of your life hunting and gathering to sustain yourself, with not much left to show for it at the end. But as long as you craft one new item during your lifetime, or taught a new player a new game mechanic, then you will have made a small step towards a higher civilisation. Lots of these small increments over many lifetimes lead to big changes. Don't forget we are still in the 'hunter gatherer' stage, where people lived hand-to-mouth, and innovations were extremely slow and rare.
Dev* There is literally just one guy working on this game. It's highly unlikely to happen.
Is there any particular reason for heading east? Why not North, South, West or in any random direction?
