Hello, just a quick question. Is there any possibility to reuse empty Stew Pot ? Because it is a bit contra-productive to have 10 empty stew pots laying around and to have to craft new ones to make an even bigger mess.

I was born to a very advanced city with a huge cemetery. My mother named me Jacob and told me that I could do anything, forge, bake, anything at all ! I sat still on the warm fur of a bar and let my mother nurse me and my sister while looking at the people running around and working. Once I was old enough, I started to look around, to see what was needed, what had to be done but the city had already everything.

While I was wandering around, I saw the most beautiful girl in my life. She had long black hair and a smile that turned my legs into jelly. I was only 8 or 9 years old and already madly in love with this girl. After running around clueless and thinking about Maria, I stumbled upon a beautiful blue rose. Or was it violet ? No, I think it was blue. Gosh it's been so many years ... . Anyway, I took the flower and gathered all of my courage and went to Maria, my heart beating loudly. "Maria.", I said shacking. She turned around and answered with a lovely smile. "Yes ?" "This rose - is for you." I nervously handed her the rose. She looked surprised and then flattered at the rose. "Nawww," she said while smelling at the flower "Thank you!" "It reminded - me of your - beauty." I stuttered and she giggled as response. I was on cloud nine, she loved the rose ! I wanted to make her more presents, a blue sweater and a blue hat with matching shoes, I wanted to plant more rose bushes and make her the happiest girl in this town.

I hoped to ask her one day to marry me. So I made a plan : I would built us a house, next to some wells and plant some rose bushes around it. We could make our own little garden with carrots and berries, just a little one, and have a fireplace to keep us warm. I would go kill many bears just to make the floor out of their furs so our children wouldn't have cold feet. And plant a small sign next to the front door reading "Marias House". We would grow old, while around us our children and grandchildren would run around, and we would hold hands and die next to each other in our little house.

I wanted to build the house first and then, when finished, I would ask her in front of our house with a blue rose in my hands if she would marry me. So I started to gather together the needed tools and materials and started to build. Years passed and while I was going back to the heart of the city to chat a bit with Maria, I stumbled upon some bones drowned in blood. My heart stopped but I could see with relieve that those were not Marias. I ran to the city and warned everyone that a person hat been murdered. I saw Maria running around the Bakery and was happy to see her alive and unharmed. Someone said that it was an accident, so I went back to my project but was still suspicious so I was on my guard.

Time has passed and the house was almost finished, just needed some more walls and floors, so I went back again to grab some stuff to eat and to chat with Maria. When I arrived at the Bakery, someone shouted "BEAR" and three people went off to search for arrows and bows. I searched for Maria to get her to safety, but it was not easy to find her with a bear running around the city. So I tried to look for some arrows in the other houses around the city but didn't have any luck. When I came back, bones were lying around the city. The bear had killed a few of good men and women and was nowhere to be found. I searched everywhere for Maria and even looked at the bones lying on the floor, hoping not to find anything. But she wasn't under those victims, so I assumed that she escaped him and was running around the city. The city was very big so she could have been anywhere, so I went around screaming her name and asking people if they had seen my Maria. No one seemed to have seen her and I thought "Maybe people didn't pay attention or didn't knew who she was."

So I went back to the house, continued building and hoping, that she will come back to me one day. Years passed, people passing by, wondering what I was doing and I would always say "This is House is for Maria, my love." One man, I think it was Eric, asked me if he could help me, but I wanted to do it myself, to tell Maria that I build it alone just for her. Kids and Adults came with their buckets to get some water from the well, but not my Maria. My Maria never came. And then it hit me. My Maria isn't going to come back. My Maria is dead. She will not see this house that I have build for her, she will not be able to hold the rose and hear me proposing to her and she will not be by my side. Sadness filled my heart and almost torn me apart when I realized that I couldn't give her a proper funeral and lay a rose on her grave.

I wanted to end it, I wanted to die. But I was the house that still needed a door, a road that led to the house, some rose bushes and a sign that said "Marias House". I wanted to finish it. I wanted to honor her, the girl I deeply loved. So I continued. I wanted to search for her bones after I made the road so I could bury her in our little home and give her one last rose before I rest my bones next to hers.

Live continued in the city and we had a King, Eric, the man who offered his help. And a murderer seeking to spill his blood. The King managed to kill him I believe but I didn't really pay any attention. I was getting old and just wanted to finish the road. While building, one kid watched and complimented me on the house. I thanked him and said that it was for my Love. He asked me if there was anything to do and if he could help, so I showed him how to make stone roads. He was very interested and learned very fast and soon I had a great assistant. He even got some pies saying "Those are for Maria." I was touched and told him that she would love those pies. Due to my age I forgot what his name was but I am very grateful that he was there and helped.

More and more children came to see what we were doing and even the King came by. He had the knife in his hand and told us, that we needed a school to educate new young souls so the killing rate in our city would decrease. I told him in a weak voice, that he could use Marias House as a starting house. He thanked me and told me that they will honor her. I was very happy and as a last request I asked to plant a lot of blue roses around the house.

I wanted to thank the boy who helped me, the girl who gave me a bucket to use it as a toilet in the new house, the King to remember my first love and I wanted to say so much more but my weak old body didn't let me. I died before thanking everyone I wanted to thank. Before looking at the sky and telling Maria for the first time that I loved her.

Maria, even though we were not meant to have a happy ending together, I still enjoyed the little moment that we had as children. Know that you were always my true love and that I will always love you.

Love, Jacob

I love the new update. Sure, it gets more difficult, you can't make a well alley, a well labyrinth or build one in front of a door (for even better security), the bakers will have to walk a bit further to take the water (but honestly just make two cistern next to it and problem solved) and the farming situation got a bit more difficult.

Yes life got hard, but we got so many cool stuff ! Corn and popcorn (I've made 20 popcorn bowls just because i loved the little animation), we got a ball of threat, people look fabulous with those hats and those cute little worms are not that useless anymore ! They are so cute when they wiggle around in the harden soil. But I have the feeling that after a long time of being jobless, they got a bit slow. They need one hour to finish their work so we can re-use the soil. But one hour is a lifetime (literally) and people are forced to make a bigger farm, so big even, that it will reach another Biome until those cute little slow creatures are finished.

Is there a possibility to motivate those cute basta- ehm worms ? My idea was to bread those who are the fastest and continue with their fastest children and so on until the soil will be finished in 20-15 minutes ? Or should we get them a treat for when they finish faster ?

Like i said, love the new update, those little monsters and how the game is developing. I just hope that our hardworking worms will get just a tiny bit faster.

Much love,

Tea

In the past 5h I've had some really great lives.

Once I was born a girl into quite a big town, that already had a nice farm and a forge with a lot of tools. My mom named me Bailey and while people were fighting about something my little mind didn't understand, I started to clean the forge up a bit and make some tools that were missing. I've had a really good time, the forge was near a desert Biome so I was always warm and I had everything near me. I made a shovel and started to dig up some stones and made a bunch of cut stones. There are two things in this game, that I really enjoy doing : Tending the sheep and building houses.

So I started to make a big house for the forge. In this live I didn't have a lot of children, only two sons stayed with me and got older, while everyone else was popping out at least 2 at the same time. But I was fine with that, just wanted to build in peace. Fionna joined me soon after and we were a great team together! She cut the trees and brought me the butt logs, while I made them into boards and used them for the floor. Time flew by pretty fast and we were getting older and older. The house that we both worked on wasn't finished but the next generation was already starting to take over. I hope they could finish the forge mansion and continued making other beautiful houses. I hope I will see it one day.

In another live I was a boy named Mars Sol. It was a nice smaller town. it had a small farm and a little Forge. I helped out a bit on the farm, cleaned up, cut down some trees and helped my mom at the forge. There were at least 3 females working on the farm so I thought 'Hey, lets start to build a bit' and so I did. I prepared everything and was having so much fun when all of a sudden a Bear appeared in the town and killed the last fertile female. It was only me, my brother Jupiter and my mom.

Jupiter took over the farm and started a milkweed farm while my mom continued making tools with the little time she had left and I started building walls. When mom died, it was only me and my brother left and we just continued until it was our turn to return to rest our bones.

I never really started from 0 as an Eve. Normally I find an abandon forge or farm and I continue from there, if the location is nice. But this time, there was nothing near and I had an infant in my arms so I didn't wanted to wander around and waste precious time. So I settle down in a moderate place, gave myself the name Reinhardt and my first born Sparrow. Unfortunately Sparrow might have been a new player, died and I was alone.

It was quite hard to start from scratch, searching milkweed and reed, while looking after my child and trying not to die. But things started to become better once Frida (Friday) became older and helped me out. She was such a great help and eventually we had a decent farm and a small milkweed farm going. I had two wonderful daughters who helped to so much and beautiful grandchildren. Even though it is hard, and you have to make a lot of sacrifices, it still is so much fun to start with nothing and so rewarding to see a nice settlement with children and grandchildren running around at the end of your life.

I came back as a boy and it really filled my heart with joy to see that this family was still going. Even though they might be dead because of food shortage, I am still proud of the Reinhardt family! You all did a really good job.
