I've been in quite a few towns where someone was telling everyone to leave one berry on all the berry bushes in the farm.. They actually started arguing with me when I told them no, to empty a bush first before moving to the next full bush so that they can be soiled and watered. I told them that's a good way to kill babes, elders, and run out of anything needing berries. 

They would get mad and say I was griefing when I grabbed a bowl to empty the single berry bushes. (which was pretty much the whole berry farm at that point!)

I'm not sure, I had a well right next to the stew farm, so I didn't need water. What I listed is pretty much what the farm requires for a pot of stew.  Usually I request anyone near not to touch anything in the stew farm area unless they are making stew. I keep my area tidy, so everything there, is what's needed and nothing more.

Flint chip for corn
Sharp stone and hatchet (or axe) for squash
round stone for beans

Plate for squash and beans
2 bowls required for beans (corn only requires 1 bowl)
Soil to replant.   I replant squash seed right away or they disappear and you have to make a run to try to find more, which can be hard to locate sometimes.

My husband said the same thing lol

Maybe berry farms should be kept small and not massive like villages have them.  Just a few planted in between the bakery and the pen. If a village does not have a lot of berry bushes planted maybe it will force people to go and do something else. There is no need for the berry farms to be as huge as I have been seeing them. It just encourages people to stand around eating them. Wastes a lot of soil and water too.

Teach kids at a young age that the berry farm is not for food. If they die of starvation because they do not know how to survive without berries, eventually they'll have to learn a new way of playing to keep themselves alive.

I guess if need be, another SMALL patch of berries could be planted by the nursery, just for toddlers and the elders. The den mother would have to start shooing people away from eating those berries after a certain age.   If they do not listen, kill them.. They are dead weight to the village and will bring the village down.

I have no problem going to Donkey town for a bit. I enjoy playing by myself at times. lol

Overpopulation is a big problem.. You need to have population control, however, its hard to do because many die young and you risk having no girls. I just got finished with a full life in a decent established village, there was no standing around and talking, everyone old enough to keep enough hunger to adventure out and get things we need were non stop working.. The den mothers and babes stayed by the fire and berry farm.. So many babies depleted all the berries, and so many bushes depleted the soil. You are correct we were going through resources like crazy. Everyone pitched in to keep food, water, soil, farms, and the babes clothed.

However, I did have to make a few runs for more squash seeds because they would not replant the seed..  I think that has to do with the person making stew being fairly new.

As I was about to die, the village was falling apart. So much stuff needs to be done, and when you have many new players in a village, it's not going to get done, it just causes more work, chaos and a shortage on food and resources.

You now have to be selective on how many babies you keep and which ones.. Kind of sucks for the new players, but I'll weed them out in hopes to get players who know how to work and help keep the village going.

You can't keep every child anymore. IMO

I made it to 54, came back from rabbit hunting, and starved looking for food after unloading the recent rabbit run.. Over population and a lot of new players helped pick clean all the food in the camp (which was well established) as well as all the food in the wild nearby.. I was 54 so I couldn't make it too far in the wild before I died looking for food. We had a lot of workers working to keep everything going, yet it did not help keep me from starving.

Population control and weeding out the non-productive players from the productive players will be a big factor in keeping a village going.. If not it's going to be hard keeping food around.

Does this get extracted into the OHOL folder? I have zoom out mod, but I don't want to get the 2 start ups mixed up or mess up the zoom out file.

Also, there is another server that I had played on a few times, they have hunger pretty much turned off and dying of old age turned off. Would anyone know how I would go about doing that?  Not too worried about hunger, as I would like to get used to the temp system, but the dying of old age turned off would be nice..
