Once you become a patriarch mor matriarch, there´s always one dickwad who´s just waiting for you to die to take your clothes. But generally dieing as an old, accomplished grandparent is really rewarding and the people you raised and taught actually feel for you.
One of my best runs was this yesterday. Strew around in the wild for too long, eventually all alone, then found the remains of some small fields in the perfect locations and started up farming all by myself, stockpiling more carrots than I could ever eat. After some time a woman with her child stumbled in, and a new community was born that saw two more generations before I died of old age.
I think it requires very specialist knowledge to get lard from animals. Bee wax might be a bit more natural for people to figure out, I thought.
Also, if Jason really ever implants a decay feature, then honey could be an early preservant.
Bee hives that can be found in the wild.
Wild bee hives could be harvested for honey and/or wax, using a long stick or branch.
Bee swarms could potentially be domesticated. Artificial bee houses could be made from reed or something alike, and then the bee queen has to be caught and brought there for a swarm to settle. Reaching the bee queen requires to disperse/stun the wild swarm first, by using a firebrand or making a fire below the bee hive to smoke the bees out.
Honey could be used as food or ingridient.
Wax could be used to
- make candles (with thread). The main purpose of a candle is to hold fire for a very long time, so you can easily rekindle cooking fires and ovens by using just a long shaft and a burning candle
- other processes like leather working or making wax writing tablets
Bee hives could be highly sought after by bears, giving another incentive for hunting parties to form and clear out the bear population.
I think it´d be a neat idea for entry level technology.
