A domesticated berry bush does not resupply without input. This means that you need to empty it, then wait a bit until it gets darker, add soil and water and wait even longer for it to fully regrow.

Always, empty bushes that you see before picking berries of full bushes. Not doing so might cause a famine when all berry bushes have been emptied and there is no food whilst you wait for the bushes to regrow.

I think it's better to have a bowl full of berries at all times if there are enough bowls to go around for the other jobs first, ofc.

If you didn't know it already. Only works when you're an infant.

It was very fun to read. I haven't been to any of the villages or towns you wrote about but it sure sounds like a good time.

How do people find Casino town if no one is there to ring the bell?

Fair enough, I'm no mango expert. However, maybe a flint chip would suffice to cut it open?

Edgy games are kind of a lot, it's always good to have some conventional features when you break new ground. If not just revolutionise the gaming industry by deleting the EXE and call it art. Right?

Did people want fruit trees? It's not so bad. Decore, and another low effort job you can do to help the village in the long run. It's just a shame you can't eat the mangos right as they are without a knife.

Cheese would be nice. People might actually start cultivating cows more often now that it seems like they can be killed.

And dead cows too!

It's because it hasn't been released yet.

If anything I would like some structure. People are far too independence oriented in the game. That's mostly why we don't achieve anything more than villages. Let's be honest, your two building "city" is not a city, nor a town, it's a village anarchy at best.

Designated jobs, apprenticeships to ensure successors, buildings that aren't too large, farms outside the town, food sources like bread, milk and stew in the houses, smaller 3x4 berry farms spread out in the town to feed children (see it as parks if you will), trading resources for favours or food. Some degree of a hierarchy will develop naturally as the society grows and I do not mean the silly absolute monarchy stuff that holds no legitimacy. An elder council would be one idea, elders are needed to document things anyways since they can write the longest texts.

It would also be nice to see some small-scale farmholds. Build a farmhouse, plant 3x3 of stew crop, 3 rows of wheat, 3x3 berries, give them a milk cow, oven and geese, enclose farm over generations, make sure to tend the outside forest, milkweed farms, skewer farms, etc. Tada, a freeholder's farm dependent on the town for tools and luxury items and rare food like burritos. They will trade food and forestry items for services. It's the best thing. Got too many children? Send them into town to find another job or build another freehold. Connect the entire city-state with roads and you got a functioning society.

As annoying as suiciding babies are, is it just the high child mortality humanity has suffered through up until the 20th century, and still have in some areas? It can be explained like that, but I certainly agree that not having girls to bring the lines forward is a bad idea. Maybe there could be a situational mechanic that counts the number of fertile females and if there is only one left the chance for having girls would be bigger if not guaranteed? It's a bit gamey and unnatural maybe, but honestly playability over realism any day.

More insulation options would be what wool would be best for. So wall coverings, rugs, blankets, padding, etc. As society progresses it is highly likely to create a class system and it would be very nifty to have finely woven wool clothing as luxury items.

Also, wool can be used as soil fertilizer. For whatever reason, we might be needing that in the future.
