You can peel a mango with your teeth. It isn't that difficult. My beef is that the mangoes have a red tint to them when everyone knows the best mango variety is Fazli which is only green in color.
Green mango (less ripe) salad is also a thing.
I disagree that pies are late game. Rabbits are often caught very early. As long as you aren't getting in the way of the early game blacksmithing there's no reason to not use those first rabbits for some food diversity. Apart from plates, the other ingredients are dirt cheap and pies keep noobs from berry munching.
I was Love Gluck -- Generation 8 under Eve Gluck III. It went well. Some hard workers. But your usual baby suiciders slowed us down.
Learn the Yum System. See here: https://onehouronelife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=2397
Basically, diversify the food you eat as much as possible. If you don't know how to do anything, do at least this. Don't just eat berries non-stop. Also, realize that not all food is equal in terms of how much it fills your hunger bar. Try not to eat until your bar is low(ish) otherwise you're wasting food. Don't waste food.
Learn berry maintenance first so you can at least keep those going. The next thing you should learn is composting and how sheep work. Soil is the most important resource. More than backpacks, clothes, and knives.
Learn how temperature works. It's nice to have clothes but it's often a bad thing given how most villages are placed (near deserts). Overheating costs food, in other words.
Don't WATER too many carrots. Feel free to plant them but only water as much as is needed.
If you're an adult male, do your best to eat outside of town. There's plenty of food not far from town -- burdock, onions, wild berries, cactus fruit. These will bump up your Yum score and you'll soon find you won't need to eat as much at all.
Other easy but highly valuable tech: shallow wells, catching rabbits for pies, baking, omelettes.
Fate – monstrous
and empty,
you whirling wheel,
you are malevolent,
well-being is vain
and always fades to nothing,
shadowed
and veiled
you plague me too;
now through the game
I bring my bare back
to your villainy.
--from "O Fortuna," a medieval Latin Goliardic poem written early in the 13th century
The wheel is turning and you can't slow down
You can't let go and you can't hold on
You can't go back and you can't stand still
If the thunder don't get you then the lightning will
-- Jerry Garcia
I think there are probably workarounds to the issues limiting growth (communication, short time scale, lack of incentive to actually work [i.e. barter system, ownership]) but they would involve fundamental changes to the game. For example, off the top of my head, a workaround could be a RPG-type class system (farmer, cook, guard, etc.) so you know what lane to stay in. But that would change the game. So I dunno. Let's see how far Jason can take it with this model?
A+++++++++++++++ Ralphie!
But we'll need some of that Okinawan fish.
Entertainment:
Entertainment seems like a late game thing (modern era I mean), but it isn't like that: it could be music, poets or else
It might seem like a waste of time, but I had plans for it
A person doing music with an instrument is not only a free time activity, it also helps others by making their hunger decrease slower, making bards and such very helpful for the society, but the bard doesn't get the effects of music, so they do need to eat stillflute:
short shaft + flint = small wooden pipe
small wooden pipe + flint drill = flutedrum:
yew shaft + thread = yew drum frame
rabbit fur + sharp stone = tanned rabbit fur
yew drum frame + tanned rabbit fur = drum frame with tanned fur
drum frame with tanned fur + needle with thread/ball of thread = drumwar horn:
mouflon skeleton + hatchet = mouflon skeleton with horn
horn + flint = war hornThese are some of the primitive instruments I know of
To activate them, pick one of them up and click on your self to start playing and to cancel, just drop them
the music could be a repeating song for every instrument and some together form a band; it's hidden so the only way to hear it, is to play an instrument and to hear the full song, multible people need to play the correct instruments to hear the complete song and the complete song gives others, who aren't playing, double the effect
You forgot string instruments which probably came right after drums. Could get sinews or hair from animals, a gourd (dried squash maybe?) or wooden box, a skin, and some bone tuning pegs.
A functioning city with dozens of inhabitants working hard with no griefers.
I appreciate how much fun you are having role playing. However, your fun is ruining others' fun. Find a game where your fun doesn't ruin others' fun and go play it.
A king/queen could be useful as a griefer magnet.
jason will never allow:
People want to scratch their boredom itch. I can sympathize as this game does feel somewhat repetitive and purposeless at times accurately modelling life in that way. So they try to spice things up with some conflict or achievement. I suppose if you're about to quit for the day/month/forever why not go out with a bang? I agree it's stupid but there you go. I generally try to avoid crowns at all costs because they just attract griefing and idiocy.
In a recent post (on Steam migration) Jason reasserted his intention to take the tech to iPhones. For obvious reasons, not all tech can be in the game. For example, there are currently no boomerangs. What are some other techs that you predict WON'T show up?
Here are some of my non-predictions going off of stream-of-consciousness:
dentures
braces
suspenders
jockstraps
cricket bats
bug zappers
blood pressure testers
CB radios
those things you rest your wooden spoon on after stirring the sauce
pressure cookers
door stops
sun dials
pogo sticks
keurig coffee machines
I vote let the nudity stand. This is almost literally National Geographic magazine nudity. That's never been problematic. Don't let a vocal minority sway you.

Well racism doesn't exist either in the U.S. "except if you are dumb and believe everything."
If you think racism doesn't exist in Europe, you're nuts. It also exists in South America, East Asia, Southeast Asia, South Asia and, yes, Africa. The particular form it takes in America is obviously specific to America but try visiting Southeast Asia as a Pakistani. Try visiting Eastern Europe or China as an African. Try visiting Japan as anything other than Japanese. Try coming in from the countryside into urban Africa. Try finding a spouse if you're a dark skin Indian other than another dark skin Indian. Tell an Arab from the northern suburbs of Paris that racism is only an American problem.
Racism takes many different forms and is highly specific to context, country, the people being racist and the people being shit on.
Well i live in South America, and no, racism is not the same here, as it is in the Usa, here the word nigger is not offensive, in fact it doesnt mean anything. Then i ask you, why should we adapt to whatever social rule there is in the Usa?
I feel realy offended that you think you have the right to censor us, since you do not own the universal truth.
Of course it's not the same. I stated that. I was reacting to TrustyWay who stated: "Where I live racism doesn't exist except if you are dumb and believe everything." I wasn't addressing the point of you having the freedom to say the n-word in OHOL. However, now that you mention it, I would support Jason prohibiting people from using hate speech in OHOL. Regardless of the differences in racism between the U.S. and the rest of the world, the N-word is hate speech. That's inarguable. There is no way possible to argue in good faith that the N-Word is not hate speech. It's impossible. It simply is hate speech. The fact of the matter is that English is a global language. The N-word is an English word. It is well understood by anyone that speaks intermediate or above English that the n-word is hate speech. Therefore, its use shouldn't be supported. I don't know the equivalent words in Spanish or Swedish or Japanese. But hate speech in those languages should be prohibited as well. It isn't censorship. It's being a good person and citizen. And furthermore, it's not difficult to avoid.
It's disingenuous for you or anyone else that speaks English fluently to claim that the n-word has "no meaning to them." If you're a non native English speaker you might claim that "grommet" or "aleatory" or "umbra" have no meaning because you might not know the meaning but anyone who speaks fluent English knows what the n-word means. Therefore, it has meaning to you regardless of your claim. To be sure, it doesn't have the SAME meaning to you as to an American and I agree that it's probably not as offensive to non-Americans. Sure, of course. But why risk it? For fun?
About 40 or more ice holes together in one area near a large city. This was just last week so some of you might remember the city.
Or was that something the players did that I'm not aware of?

Did you really just write that unironically? You can't possibly be serious. Don't even know if i should waste my time on this obvious troll post or not.
Racism: prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior.
Opposing Racism: Being opposed to prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior.One is mistreatment of someone else simply based on the color of their skin, the other is opposing people that mistreat people that have a different skin. Opposing racism doesn't target any race, there are racists in every single race and opposing that goes directly against the main criteria of being a racist.
"From: Finland, Oulu"
Well that probably explains part of why you have this belief. You are from a country so white, I bet you haven't even seen a black person this month, let alone have any of them in your social circle. Just because YOU haven't experienced racism or you don't think it's a problem (easy to think this when you can't come across the situation for it to be a problem) doesn't mean it doesn't exist or that it's not a huge issue that should be opposed at every opportunity.In practice, "opposing racism" in the modern society is very commonly defined as being racist against the majority.
I would add that it's defined that way due to either ignorance or willfully to advance a pro-white political agenda. Either way it seeks to redefine the term racism.
As an european, this kind of thread about races are always funny. This is such an american problem, but you extended your problem world wide. Where I live racism doesn't exist except if you are dumb and believe everything.

This is missing a key point that changed my game regarding clothes. For the longest time I had no idea you could get thread from sheep. I always assumed it was milkweed only.
So, for the new people, fleece from shorn sheep plus drop spindle equals a ball of thread you can add to the bone needle for multiple use sewing.
Origami mini game!
I spawned into a massive city once that at one point had everything. But almost everyone was gone, the sheep were running wild, and there was a field filled with dozens of wooden tongs next to a field of mature trees. I can only guess that some jerk or jerks demolished the pen and took all the branches from the trees and made tongs from them.
I kinda understand the murder griefers because that's quick, spur of the moment, scratching the boredom itch. But to systematically ruin things over the course of an hour? It's bizarre to me. I have way better things to do IRL.
Could substitute stacks of paper for wheat in compost (compost needs a large portion of carbon) although I guess then people would just go around throwing everyone's notes into the compost.
I think you mean cast iron.
I like the idea of cupboards. More carpentry!
I'm not of Asian descent but I live in South Asia!
It only shows dead descendants. Maybe it should show the live ones too?
