11: DON'T STAND IN THE WAY OF PEOPLE WHO ARE WORKING
- Kitchen, smithing and farming areas are not afk zones.
If you must briefly AFK, do it somewhere out of the way or if low yum, at a source of heat.
If you gotta stand around talking, do it somewhere people are not working. Nothing worse than trying to forge or cook with a room full of people waffling and standing on the tiles being used. Don't hinder the people working to keep you alive.

12: DO NOT TAKE BOWLS/BASKETS/PLATES FROM THE KITCHEN OR SMITHING AREAS
Unless there is an excess, they are needed there and should always have them available.
If you use an item, put it back where you found it, or near its appropriate area (axe to the wood stores, hoe to the farms, spade to the sheep pen/composting area etc).

13: DO NOT CLUTTER THE WORK AREAS WITH UNRELATED ITEMS
If it does not relate to the kitchen/ smithing or farming area, don't leave it there.

14: ALWAYS LEAVE SEEDS AFTER HARVESTING
For carrots, for each 9 rows, leave 1-2 rows for seed. Wheat is not as crucial to seed, threshed wheat can be used to seed farms.
After harvesting, deposit a single bowl of soil on hardened rows to reduce long-term soil usage.
When harvesting milkweed at farming area, wait until the milkweed is fruiting. Then fill a bowl with milkweed seed (if no other seeds exist) and leave at area.
Ideally, you will hoe and seed the rows ready for the next person to harvest. Don't add water until needed. Only berries should be watered asap.

15: WATCH BEFORE ASKING
If you don't know how to do something, stand and watch somebody who is already doing it and then ask questions if you still don't understand.

16: DON'T LEAVE TOWN AS A BABY.
Exploring is great, but be respectful wait until you at least have a 10x yum chain and done 10 minutes work before you wander away from village to the great beyond. Your clothes and backpack are more useful in the town being used by someone else rather than decaying and disappearing into the wild because you couldn't wait to leave home

17. DO BASIC TASKS AT LEAST UNTIL YOU MATURE
If your mother doesn't assign you a task, walk around the town and complete the following tasks for at least 10 minutes.

- Berries have soil and are watered?
- Veg farms soiled/seeded? (no need to water if surplus exists)
- Soil deposited around the berries? (Leave spaces at corners and junctions)
- Area around farms de-cluttered of unrelated items?

- Logs near the fire?
- Tinder near the ovens/kiln?
- Player bones deposited away from town area?
- Animal bones removed from animal pens?

- Threshed wheat available in kitchen? (pile it outside the door)
- Variety of ingredients available near the kitchen? Ask what they need

- Manure composted?
- Sheep tended?

- Empty unneeded crock pots/bowls/plates/baskets stacked in main storage area?
- Vegetables/farm materials stacked
- Scattered tools returned to tool storage area?
- Clothing items deposited near nursery area?
- Forge area cleared of unrelated clutter/items stacked?
- Kitchen area cleared of unrelated clutter/items stacked?

- Nearby trees picked of branches?
