Agreed. I've said before, eating is not interesting. It's still possible to starve if you're not careful, and if your town is poorly managed, you still risk food collapse, but damn it feels good to be able to teach folks and have adventures.

Ah, didn't catch that. Thanks!

Ah, gotcha. I've played vanilla since day 1.

Am I the only one who's curious about the mysterious green orb? Am I missing something obvious?

It's hard to tell, but it also looks like it's in your pack in the second screenshot. TELL THE PEOPLE ABOUT THE ORB

This is so wonderful and wholesome. Great job, Miskas.

IDK, I think specialty crafted novelty items outside of just biome-locked essential resources would be a great personal incentive for individuals to trade. "Hey, that's a sweet backpack. Trade you a tattoo for it..."

Making tattoos available to everyone would take the awe out of it. If you see a white guy with a tattoo, you know he has some stories to tell.

I also like the idea of requiring some biome-locked resources to make specialty novelty items. Salt, sand, sulfur, snow, mango leaves, tomatoes, fish bones, snake skins, seal furs...

Maybe introduce walrus in the ice biome, and then gingers could make horned helmets (not a real thing, I know) with their tusks. I'd walk through hell in a gasoline suit to get a horned helmet.

I once spoke to the oracle through a well. It was weird and exciting.

This got me thinking: what if entering a specialist area was simply hungry work in the form of a temporarily shrunken food bar for everyone but the specialists? And what if interacting with specialist items (rubber tree, tarry spot, wild horse) was hungry work even for the specialists? Only specialists could do the work because only they would have the hunger capacity to do it.

Ex: immediately upon entering the jungle, the ginger's struck by heat stroke and their entire hunger bar (not just their pips) gets cut in half. They cannot slice into a rubber tree, because it's hungry work. Their hunger bar is literally smaller, so they can't even eat enough to interact with the rubber tree, but can still pick things up, pick bananas, etc. When they leave the jungle, their hunger bar restores to full size.

This would only require changing oil tech, rubber tree, and wild horse to be hungry work, not some specialist tag.

Edit: I think it'd also be a good disincentive to traveling through bad biomes, making it much more likely that only desert specialists would collect ores for dying, etc. No need to code ores as desert-specialist only.

I only played once today (about an hour ago) and it's chaos right now. No idea how many families there are, and I haven't kept up with the status of the Eve spawn rules, so I can't say. Heaven help any Eves that spawn in the next few days.

Tonight I told every new player born to me to not let this first experience ruin the game for them. I'm telling them to come back in a few days when things have settled down a bit and experienced players can actually coach them.

Can confirm. First time playing in a couple of weeks, popped so many bbs that I starved just trying to give everyone a halfway decent chance. Of course, there's no chance for these players when there's so much competition for baby care, and so few experienced players to give care *and* develop a town. Cut the pip drain in half for the next week, and we might get somewhere.

Hey, can you link to your lineage? I think I might've been your grandma. I was Bonita Klank and sent one of my kids out with a horse cart full of empty buckets to keep the town alive. Great work on the maps! http://lineage.onehouronelife.com/serve … id=5445002
