few tips: you start picking up things at 8 food bar boxes

you can go with a basket of food to explore, try to make a home marker and move in a spiralic way outwards

ask family where things are like furs milkweed, snare, what they need

swamp biome contains the lakes, clay, reed, best place to setup farm, move the soil there after picking out carrots
try to find a horizontal desert, which is bugged into other biome, so small patches all around, this tend to be perfect temperature, if cant find, go under a desert, and build kilns on hot tiles, so you spend your smithing on perfect temp mostly
you still need small green biome, and big swamp

run on edges of biome to see what is the size of it, easier to imagine where you are in the world, a small biome lacks resources usually, they form a closed circle so if you run around it, you see most of it and you wont get lost

a desert biome with many cactuses can be also beneficial, place flatstones to signal the way 4- in a line signals way between cactus and city, if you can make entire roads, you cant die to snake or bear

green forest biome contains the food, best way to start game, but the only important thing for a camp is to have the trees close enough to make a fire later on, so you need to make your camp between desert and sswamp and green biome, close to a yellow one advantage, also iron isnt bad but easier to carry resources other than branches, avoid metal and desert if you can,  can be dangerous animals

you need to make a farm as soon as possible, this requires the ability to move water, so pouches or bowls are your options
to get a pouch, you need one rabbit, 2 milkweed stalk and to cook a rabbit on a fire
bowls are a bit more complicated as they need reed, clay to make a furnace, tongs made from a long straight shaft with a flint chip, clay and a stone, then fire and quick clicks to make at least 3 bowls and maybe 3 plates, one noozle, you can even make charcoal if you palce adobe after making this seven items, 9 can be done, more if others help

make new ones for oven and pie making, dont take it from smiths, dont leave the plates in wilderness

you need to keep this in mind when choosing location, reet renews each hour, clay is finite, buildings require both, close to  a mapple tree and a juniper to make fire is better, in the middle of the green biome you need a lot of time for each water run, also is colder than desert now , if someone dies, others cant even find water and start starving


might be a good ideea to build small outpost farms and leave it dry but prepare the water.

edited after updates temp changes, deserts become more viable

The xp system would be based on groups of items you crafted from basic to advanced items, you couldnt use some of them if you never crafted them ie. weapons on other players.

The karma system: once you kill someone, you would receive negative karma, this would make you born into families with low xp system and high death rate or as an Eve over and over until you improve it by making larege families where kids survive long, and you craft things. Also keeping kids and naming them, feeding them would give plus karma to born into larrge and wealthy families. Some randomization, more options would be nice, like similar playstyle families, similar xp level players as reward, or doing things what you didnt before would give you higher xp kids/parents.

after a few bad runs, like nobody accepting me, got to a family in desert they had a small farm, i took some carrots explored north, one thread and a milkweed, asking for a snare nobody answer, explored south, made my first snare, headed to forests, eating berries, cactus, geared myself up, didnt wanted a child and most kids accepted it, a girl was just running around didnt even let me to tell her that we got a city. then a boy died after seeing a farm, was the biggest today, so dont understand, after four lost kids wanted someone, but i couldnt anymore, so i went back to south bringing stone for a well, clubbed a seal, made the well, made the seal jacket. the only fertile woman died by a wolf, i took revenge , killing it, no thread to make a hat. my sister died before me telling "kids are useless". a nepfew was makign tools, first was the axe and shovel.
i gave him my seal jacket and the wolf, my sister gave the shoes and pants, one extra backpack.he told me he goes to find a family. i died alone, fully geared with almost nothing accomplished, never talked to anyone other than my sister. my mom fed me 2 carrots as she was too old to feed. and died before i came back with some bunnie meat. they made a lot of progress but the city died.

even more bad moms, one throw me to a rattlesnake.

then a mom was close to making fire, and had a barely functionable carrot farm, she told me that i will be his only son, until more food arrives, had to see my brother die, but was a correct decision. i went exploring bringing thread, she went with a water pouch, never to return again. her last wors: good boy as seen me drop a thread near the camp. i made a farm near a snowy area with 3 laeks, the only place she didnt explored. made my small 8 tile farm, used her furnace to make bowls, found a camp south where somebody died even sooner, got my reed skirt and went to find mom by the water she first found when i was born. she was nowhere to be found, never  returned.
made a few snares, gone back to cook rabbit,  made an adobe wall as monument, left my carrots dry. went back, made a pack and died at 59 years running back in a mix of 4 biomes. lost a lot of time running , eating berries and never had a sister to help me.

#4255 Re: Main Forum » New player experience » 2018-04-07 07:02:33

i like small to medium cities. like having a carrot farm so i dont worry about food, but still challenging when a famine runs, triyng to fix problems like bear attack, bad logistics, mikweed shortage. when all tools are there is kinda feels boring. nobody needs anything, kids are selfish and start griefing. a few runs i was hunter, spawned int osame place 3 times, i was gearing everyone up, making more than 10 backpacks in a lifetime, filling with carrots and giving to newborns then taking it back when they died. even enjoyed a city with some sheeps, small milkweed farm, grew into my heart, or once when my mom died and raised my brother then we had random eve settle and making a bit of progress. i dont enjoy starting over and over just to end up dieing before i can start crafting advanced tools.the game needs more content, different paths. now you can have 2 types of clothing, like 4 types of food the foraging, the farming, hunting then mixing both. i would enjoy some kind of group events, random weather, for example rains, and picking mushrooms after it, hot wheather when you would need to store up water, hurricanes, fire, wild animal attacks, npc attacks (if the fighting system wouldnt be 1 hp aim to kill), just soome random events which would modify the rules temporarily.

some games you were born in big cities but only 1 of each tool and nobody could use properly, it can be fun that too. but you can always leave a big city, run 5 minutes and make an outpost.definitely should allow/force playing as an eve or as a small group.

2-4.th generation is enjoyable, i seen cities where 5th generation made everything and the griefing started

A home marker should fall out if a person dies, a grave should show a name and some statistics like items crafted, food consumed.

#4257 Re: Main Forum » let's talk about how often you die building settlement & family as Eve » 2018-04-07 06:38:54

yesterday on many restarted runs i was pretty annoyed at the end, usually my mom kept all children, they die, had a mom once, she was pretty good, managed to make a furnace and an oven, a farm she couldnt water, then converted to berries, my brothers and sisters often die early or ask stupid questions like "where is the pouch?". make one you spoiled bastard. one run after apocalipse, all my family vanished, but later i found them. also found water and some farm tiles, empty, watered them amde a farm, went back to starting location, told them i got a farm and water supply, my brother told me that "i worked hard, i dont leave, we got water too"
in the middle of a green biome, sure. a lady came over asked if she can join, then she left with a snare and never seen again. didnt take my furs and made her own snare so was fine.
i adopted an eve and a kid, and we ran the farm, i seen them goofing around but they helped a bit. was good that my legacy wasnt falling apart totally.

the other run, in morning, born in a rich berry farm, hectic child factory, became a hunter , geared up, died in the desert by a rattlesnake near a tree. next up as an eve, wandering around, clubbed a seal, carried my kid, a hunter escorted me back to same city, found my gear had six kids, died in green biome by rattlesnake before i had any fun.

next after few other games, born in same city, went for my gear, somebody just found it, told him was mine he gave me back my pack after i was asking for it. managed to raise six kids, made a new farm in swamp, near the berrybush city, brought a grandson to take care of it. later i born back there and to my surprise the farm was still running and was the most populated on the server, my kid jumped out my hands and everybody running crazy the screen went white.

other run, i and a granma survived from 10 kids and reached old age, one nephew was starting a furnace,  helped on wood, on seeds, geared myself fully, watered farm, we were like 4 constant players and the rest just goofing, at my old age i seen my nephew making the axe and chopped down all annoying swamp trees, i gave him my backpack, pants and hat and died. we barely talked, was a fun run

i can survive on my own, i can raise all kids seeing half of them die and not seeing half of the half anymore, as a guy i adopt an eve sometimes and we make some progress,i can pick a good location to settle down. i cant do much crafting when i get very old, but itry to make something useful for future generations.

i also used the desert trick, once i shoved my mome that, on the horse update day, that some desert tiles are perfect, she choose to die there then i too

dont keep all the kids
dont move water to the soil, move the soil to the water
focus on one thing at a time and ration your food, dont risk it
even if you die make something memorable

#4258 Re: Main Forum » Keep all the children alive » 2018-04-05 12:22:00

some of you just talk without experiencing really crazy towns
i spawn first on a village all milkweed was gone, that takes one hour to regrow
water wells hold 7-10 then they are useless for 10 hours
berry bushes can die out cause people wait for carots, its worse when you try to look around the map and die at age 10-15
i rather die as a baby

#4259 Re: Main Forum » Keep all the children alive » 2018-04-05 12:12:30

did a few runs, you actually got no clue how many females are sometimes

i had a run where all boys survived while girls dont because they were noobs
they tried keep all alive they killed all

there is a limit how many can you handle, like a new run when you setup carrot farm, maybe 5-6 when goes above 10-14 liek 6 of them will die
get some rules and dont feel bad about killing off some babies, dont waste their game time
i pefer having a daughter who is smart enough but i dont just kill off boys
people who communicate are smart enough to live, ask yes no question and tell them to ask to feed
show around ask what he can do, i seen people afk dieing near fire cause were too old
keeping all is just a waste most time

my rules so far: when i only turn 16, and can have kids, one at a time, it seems they use more of your hunger meter, which can kill you very easy even in full gear
i dont feed others kids, if the parents dont name them , even if they do and dont ask for it, "hey raise my kids cause im bored of it". i still wont if we dont have resources
we should help new players to learn but they should and could pick up things from youtube videos

had some kids run away after i told that we got not enough food
i would do the same, if they ask me
after 7 or 8 a run when i had full gear at eight scavenging for myself only could teach one properly
you cant spend all gametime with running after kids
also you need to extend accordingly or you are the fault of famines

#4260 Re: Main Forum » How to be an effective, good murderer and wipe out entire villages » 2018-04-05 11:41:56

today had like 5 runs same village, first somebody took a shovel, 3 runs later found it 2 biomes away in middle of nothing no grave, nothing just some milkweed

then they started doing stupid shit, a girl called sunshine killed me for no reason at all, maybe wanted my gear, but pretty sure was same family, had five kids, all had food, all had gear than comes this stupid, five kids in 32 minutes raised and when i want to do fun stuff kills me
then next again some random chick shooting with bow, i lost my knife, she almost had no food left but then some stupid bug allowed to kill me without me stopping at all, this 1 hp thing is stupid, if someone gets wet by killing in a point and click game then its sad.  its ruining the game, give us a hp bar to at least retaliate, show like real names cause anonimous nolife kids ruin everything

its no point on what you all saying, spend all you gametiem to revenge is fcked up, unenjoyable, it only requires bad intention, nothing more, if there is a fighting system where skill is involved, i accept it, but this game is not about that

#4261 Re: Main Forum » Favorite moments » 2018-04-04 09:40:34

i had many runs today and liked it mostly

once i was in avillage with many fence kits which werent placed, were like 6 sheeps but someone opened the fence and they ran out the last 3 was killed
spent half of my life getting geared up then at old age i went with a knife and a rope and got a sheep back, i lost the horse tho, at 10 bars i went up to get back the knife, i think was the correct decision, even killed a bear

the other run i was in a village where it was an empty fence, i saved people by running from bear and enclosing it, told the girl who used the horse not to park there the bear can get out, i was busy at 45 age making a new fence for the horse, as we had none and or the bear or the sheep gets out, i got my straight branch, ran back, and as i was picking up the sharp stone to make stakes, a girl stole it, i ran after, they just parked the horse near the fence and the bear got out, i was typing a message, and got killed by bear, we had bows but not many arrows, maybe one, i should of killed the bear
spawned back two times later but didnt wanted that map

last i was spawning in a baby factory we were standing like 5 babies in fire, some of them got gear, most of us none. was worst run today, i was naked till adulthood. we had only like 16 milkweed fresh harvested when i born. too many ropes made. we had two horses one saddle, one horse wasnt moved at all . a lady made a fence in the steppes, making it easy seed runs. i made myself a snakeskin shoe and a wool booty, rest naked. later i was getting an old pals seal skin and blue cap. gave it all to a kid, spwaned back, never found those items. another blue cap kid was griefing, killed the old lady with the horse and tiara, lost the horse. we lost a shovel and a knife too. next up i was a girl, making like 3 kids, they all survived, i dont remember much that run. next up i born as a daughter of other girl my mom old daughter was  still there. we had many kids that run too. made to full gear again while barely anyone had gear. we had many famines due to lack of seed, brought back 14 with a cart and lots of soil too. at old age i died in desert triing to bring back cactus. later a girl born me in steppes and i was following back, stopped 3 times for milk. she called me scout, was from random word as she typed something "sadadsa" or so. she saved the village just as me before, with seeds. by that time we had lots of compost and berries but barely any milkweed and tools were missing the run before. at age 8 i headed to the dessert and found all my items from other run, i was fully geared at 8 bar! i gave life to 7 kids, kept 3. last died cause i had no milk, i tried that one. as i changed to adult, 16 age i born two ery fast, the second wasnt communicative, one more ran after i said sorry. a bear attack wiped out the city i gave birth to second daughter who was killedby bear before, she typed in one by one. only reason i kept. others made plenty babies and kinda destoyed berry farm. a guy was in good gear he knew where is the shovel, gave me a knife, he had two. showed my daughters how to compost, how to feed sheep and how to kill sheep to make cooked muflon, keep one with fur, feed baby keep their count on 7 at  least. at 4th run was looking much better i made a well,  brought lot of soil, we could afford to use berries to feed sheep, plenty of compost, when they made too many babies the famine wiped all out, we were making pies but not many snares not many backpacks, partially wool clothing but mostly nakeds. was nice to meet some people again and get back the tools. no tiara, horse or snake shoe do. met a guy who was naked in forest, told me there is village south, might have been far. he was running with full cart of pies later, my screen bugged, seen it run across 10x, might have stolen from us, unmade pies. loved that city, if anyone remembers it drop a message.

#4263 Re: Main Forum » Horses Problem? » 2018-04-04 08:32:31

the problem they allow to go trough fences. i catched a bear today, by  running inside fences then enclosing it. told one girl not to put horse there. later i was trying to make new fence and i had my branch, when someone stole it, i run after, she went straight to fence, i  tried to say not to put the horse there, bear got out and i died. was funny at first i should of killed that bear.

cmon damn troll.

i got a tip for people who wnat good gear. just step to smae tile as other kid waiting clothes, if you see any fur clothes or crowns, just pick a reed skirt on give on the baby, it swaps out then you can wear it

perfect house lock xD just someone not  to take it

#4268 Re: Main Forum » Forms of Griefers -- Please submit examples » 2018-04-03 01:23:45

worst was that i was almost 8 bar, bitch told me to go with her, and put me down in the frozen biome, my mom fully geared me, and i could work almost, then she just picked the last berry surprised that  i survived, killed me this way

was a granny who enclosed kids in sheep farm, and did some dance with taking off on the pants, i almost cried laughing, wasnt annoying to me, just weird

generally just the lack of focusing on important stuff is a problem and hard to communicate

#4269 Re: Main Forum » Favorite moments » 2018-03-31 12:49:29

some cities are interesting. murder city dies all over again when overpopulates. has no easy way to make fire, they cut all trees every direction other had no water. if its something to improve is okay, but some are just massive with no goal.

#4270 Re: Main Forum » Seriously, why is murdering people so ridiculously easy in this game? » 2018-03-31 12:34:32

worst was one when i was barely mad into adulthood, everybody died, me and momma found a traveler, she born a child, i offered to feed them before going south, better to get privacy. she born another, i geared both almost completely, told her agian wait a bit till moma dies, when we started walking south, i wanted to carry the arrow so she can take the second child. she shot me. after farmign for her and taking care, felt so bad.

other game my mama geared me, my uncle just asked me over to side of scrren and shot me, probably to stole my gear for other kid.

were a lot of things liek farming half of my life and some idiot just shot me for no good reason.
or when kids dont appreciate what you do for them.

#4271 Re: Main Forum » Favorite moments » 2018-03-31 12:20:42

best ones: mama asked for leaf, i searched 10 years and lost myself. always build home marker

one day i was born, my mother was busy building a wall, she was picking me up but doing the job, my brother born like 2 min after. my mother had something and died, connection or dunno. i feed my bro carrots he would of died, took it 2 minutes, then asked him to farm. he farmed all his life, supporting all the family. i kept all children  was 2 daughter 1 son i think, i was thinking on 4th but my son wanted to keep him. i was in end exploring around bringing stuff back. i liked this one cause the base was  very basic and 2 even worse base near, isolated, like 4-5 players can survive. i did made a difference there.
the other day i born back there . in the end me and my small bro survived, i was carrying him showing around feeding carrot at 8 box so after breastfeed ver, he was pretty good, we crafted a few good things.
i still wish to return.

the other base, i was arrived with mom, from forest, we rebuilded it, i geared all my children, teached them things. i reborn as the daughter of my daughter from previous game, they kileld other kid to give me gear. we expanded nicely there too.

getting bored of chaos, big cities big population.
