WOW this is a great idea and roman numbers could be used as well for teaching others

WRITE IT ON PAPER ALL OVER THE MAP!

NUMBERS:I,Z,E,A,S,G,T,B,Q,IO-I,II,III,IV,V,VI,VII,VIII,IX,X
or
NUMBERS:I,I,Z,II,E,III,A,IV,S,V,G,VI,T,VII,B,VIII,Q,IX,IO,X

59 letters SO you could right it 2 minutes before you die

he could add a rubber tire cart behind the car.

ok idea but , Where will you store the goods that you just trade? I haven't seen any property last month.

Why would you need a property?  ( Property would not help your genes I have test it )

NiGB0 were you playing the game in the last 3 months? Nephews are a long-ago implemented mechanic.
Grandma, mother, littler sisters and nephews all count to your Gene score when you are Male.

The reason that males are not common anymore is that Jason has put a rule: as long as a family has lower than 6 members all kids will be born females.  This is to make sure a family won't die out of Luck by infertile kids (males).

Also, Jason prefers feedback and problem analysis and if the problem is important enough for his priorities then he will listen to suggestions.

Steel tools are the first tool to build a stationary camp, Shovel.

Why not a house as well?
An adze is extremely cheap as well. 101 estimated uses for half Iron.

Tearing down could slow you to 50% speed for 3 seconds and pickaxe be stuck on your hand.

no, life expectancy should be,  not genes

here is a way to do it without isolate players to pro and noobs.

OH boy, it's difficult to answer a text when paragraphs don't exist.

" I don't think that high score players should have an advantage on lower score players though."

Why? they worked for it.

"Are you proposing that the top 25% exclusively spawn to each other?"

No!  it's complicated so let's explain.
First, our Gene score distribution is not flat so forgot about % we will get messed with these, they are not a stable %.
First to make this explanation simple, If a griefer, murderer, psychopath, is living to 60, he will be born in one of the players that their Gene score is from 35 to 60 and mess with his genes.  You will have some interesting Delima to kill one bad kid to save others.
Your Genes don't matter on where you will be spawn. Your Own survival abilities matter. A solo player can be born to a Realy caring player.

"It shouldn't be easy to keep a high score and in fact I think it should get harder and harder the closer you get to the top."

This has a problem. if it gets harder and harder, you have to get more bonuses regarding how much harder it gets.

Right now it is so hard that none of us can ever touch 50. The last 7 days  I grind genes without really caring for anything else and I am at 42 the best of us is at 46-47. The difficult to reach 44 IS REALLY HARD, believe me!. It is so hard that I never use the extra tools I have and I never really contribute to my village long term. Only short term matters. You have to Babysit every offspring of yours and you don't have the time to do anything else.

My proposition makes it so that as long as you care for your survival and genes you will continue to gain points.
if you stop caring you will lose them.
Right now Caring or not, you tend to stay close to average so it's worthless.

"if the top genetically fit players are always together, isn't that just going to make things super easy and lock out the rest from spawning reliable kids?"

They fitted genes won't be together with we have a +-25 birth variation,
The only that this formula Effectively Does is that if you Constantly die at 5 age young you will not be born to a top Gene player but on an average one. An average player can get you to live to 25.
If your lifespan is average (25-30) you get born to anyone
If your lifespan is Hight (55-60) you get born to like the top genes (30-60)

So this makes your progression to be on steps. First, you learn how to survive, then how to care for kids, then how to care for the whole village.

"So perhaps there is some kind of grace period. New players with under 20-30 hours and a low score would spawn to the most highly scored mothers available, but not the other way around. Perhaps after that grace period its just random"

"I really dont like the idea of making it harder for lower score players to raise their score and making it easier for higher score players to gain and keep theirs."

"One of my favorite things about this game is that you can start with nothing but ambition and perseverance and create a better life for yourself and your family. I think genetic scores should reflect that."

This is exactly what the current system Does!
First, you learn how to survive, then how to care for kids, then how to care for the whole village.

" I also don't like the idea of segregation"
It doesn't segregate a lot only the top Genes from the Worst survival rates as long as you mildly care for yourself (live to
25) you get born anywhere.

"You would have these insane powerhouse towns (which honestly would be glorious) but then you would have these ramshackle towns with a bunch of new/bad players struggling on the opposite magnitude."

Town have many people, with many gene scores, and many survival rates, and they ALL roll a dice every 30 minutes.
A very Random dice...

I would say just keep the Ave.lifespan hidden, people don't need to know it.
And yes bootstrap it to 60. I would also hold it to 60 for the whole new player period.

you don't need to know your age , but your stomach pips and these are displayed.

Even if this would be Amazing and realistic it seems so dangerous for a game.

The question is how do you get away from lower ranking.  If you can prove me or implement some changes that would make sure one can start from the lowest rank and go up to 1st I would fanatically approve the idea.

Also, you have to make it noob friendly. noobs need good and caring players to keep them alive.
