The concept to run into a cold biome with yellow fever (and next to a food source) is beyond most players. Only works when (mostly) naked tough, fully clothed it is a death sentence if you aren't fed through...

You can see the relevant matching code in server.cpp line 4629

        if( SettingsManager::getIntSetting( "forceEveLocation", 0 ) ) {

            startX = 
                SettingsManager::getIntSetting( "forceEveLocationX", 0 );
            startY = 
                SettingsManager::getIntSetting( "forceEveLocationY", 0 );
            }

so forceEveLocation needs to be anything but 0 (where in C++ 0 defaults to false and everything else to true) and the other files would change the cords, otherwise it would default you to 0/0 coords.

It's a split with a good reason. Here keep ranting about noobs how stupid they are and make your hair pull out. There a suggestion to make a game more accessible that spawned of it. As I also posted a while ago, this balancing is something that often goes wrong with indy games where devs listens much on the hardcore fans... who want to keep the game somewhat challenging for themselves while the average joe and gal have no chance. For example, and this time a name it, "oxygen not included" the devs realized and it gets easier and easier with every update. Being a hugh fan of the game I often wonder, really? It's not that hard to make a sustainable colony and the challenge gets less and less. And then go to twitch and watch a few streamers how they keep f*** up...

If banana trees are not the better wild berry bushes anymore, at least give us a way to get rid of mosquitoes... right now the former is a temporary boost but the later a permanent annoyance/danger. Either (slower) respawning bananas or permanent mosquito removal as well. One without the other cannot be the balanced approach.

I just was child to an eve... and i was the only person accomplishing anything. Everything build was made by me. I brought them bananas. Okay as a guy it's somewhat easier not having to take care of children. The top of the mountain was, I planted 3 bushes and had a forth row tilted.. went away to get more soil. When I came back they all stood there and picked the 3 bushes empty, they had not one berry spared to plant a forth bush!!

EDIT: Looking at the family tree, actually I was a generation 8, my mother must have runned off.. and lied to me when I asked her if she did.

Well I taught myself on a private server.

It's nice to practice for example smithing or making your own cart with tires the first time etc. before doing it in the real game.

I'm renting already a VPS for other reasons, maybe I put a practice server there online also when I got sometime to tweak some further settings instead of no hunger and no aging.

The tutorial is very berry based, all over the tutorial there are berries to sustain from, except of one onion and a carrot when talking about food variation.

I suppose most newer player subconsciously carry this over to game play.. you life mostly from berries...

In my opinion the tutorial should include cooking at least popcorn and provide a variety of food sources on the go instead of a berry bush on every corner.

See my recent newbie post trying to get another family tree to a city with a bell tower.

I tried several times, basically none of my spawns had the town reachable in a lifetime even with horse... so even with horse it would have taken about 2-3 generations to get there and that requires the next player taking over that traveling mission and being capable to do that and this with a horse. Walking there would have taken about 5 generations just watching just character walk, eat stuff on the go and avoid animals... also not a thrilling gameplay.

works for me.

There are multiple "settings" directories tough, maybe you didn't do that files in the server one?

CrazyEddie and following the Markers for a long time will most likely end up finding a dead body, at most with a backpack, seal skin and some little tools. Often I find skewers actually quite hard to find, making an arrow out of a round stone and a sharper one would be much easier.

About nomading... as a male when the town has a food shortage this always a good option. Coming back with some iron, a backpack etc. can be a little rewarding, or as I also experienced frustrating when you are obviously the last survivor of the tribe.

Once there was a town void of backpacks... I discovered a left over snare and brought 3 rabbits in a basket and put them some place. When I came with the next 3... guess the first 3 "vanished".. I did a third time, gone again. Then I just ran far off and to some grasslands with lots of milkweed and made a backpack myself. Coming the only thing I accomplished in that life it hand it to some child.

I tried this another time when I saw nodody had backpacks in that town... but it was a fairly old town so albeit I traveled quite some while one direction, everything was already picked clean.

Lets just image the game would be first person point of view 3D... how far would be the smallest acceptable field of vision compared to how far can we see in official client (albeit in 2D and I admit in all direction at the same time)
