each time i play, I open my applications file and find the latest version in there.  All the ghosts of versions past are in there as well.

#27 Re: Main Forum » Just Why? » 2019-01-02 05:07:05

I think Jason wants to see how quickly we can climb the tech tree from absolute scratch and he's not going to be happy until that amount of time is like .........never.  Making us do it the reset I think might make him feel better about himself, but there are not to many of us who are happy about it.

Jason is a fickle god.  Have we not built enough monuments to his honor?

#29 Re: News » Update: Apocalypse 2.0 » 2018-12-30 06:03:17

I lived through the first apocalypses.  That’s how I got my name.  It sucked and it was a bad idea:  As soon as people start to like the game and build things bigger and stop spawning as eves so much we all have to die? This game was supposed to be about progress.  That’s not progress.

#30 Re: News » Update: Apocalypse 2.0 » 2018-12-30 05:57:26

No. I refuse.  Come on people! Don’t do it! Don’t destroy the old stone walls.  No more death and destruction. I can’t take any morez

What’s that paintbrush app you have? I have a Mac and I need a paint app and don’t want to pay for adobe.

#32 Re: Main Forum » One City Server » 2018-12-27 20:54:57

I always wanted to be able to fill up the map with a giant civilization, and I was disappointed when I found out that Jason didn’t want that.  This sounds cool

No magic?  Uh, its called black girl magic!

#34 Re: Main Forum » Spawned inside tutorial? » 2018-12-16 02:17:52

I was born to a family that lived in the tutorials.  All of a sudden, the adobe started to collapse from age and all the snakes got out!

#35 Re: Main Forum » Rope machine » 2018-12-11 04:11:50

You need rope for buckets and we have so many uses for buckets now! We need more rope! I think the jungle biome should have kepok trees.  They are like banana trees but filled with silky fiber.  That material is what hammocks are made of.  You could make big spools of it for the hundreds of buckets you will need in the Industrial Age.

#36 Re: Main Forum » Is the new update just a new way of obtaining water? » 2018-12-11 04:03:49

I have been asking for water pipe irrigation forever so I think that may be coming.  Imagine a field of irrigated berries and all you have to do is soil them and turn on the pump! But good always comes with bad so maybe we’ll have rubber hoses but our wheat field will catch fire and need to be put out??

#37 Re: Main Forum » The Milkweed problem » 2018-12-10 00:38:21

Traditional jungle hammocks are made from kapok, the fibrous center of a tree by the same name.  Now that we have jungles, a knife and axe and saw could be used to make a long spool of rope

#38 Re: Main Forum » Idea: Wigs » 2018-12-06 03:24:29

did you see that when you were on shrooms?

#39 Re: Main Forum » better transportation (traveling together) » 2018-12-06 03:22:45

Two horse teams maybe could carry more people/goods.  Jason said on reddit that he would eventually allow babies to be put in carts.  of course, you still need to stop to feed them.

#40 Re: Main Forum » Roles of an advanced town » 2018-12-04 03:17:33

I was in a town today where someone spammed carrots in the jungle to the north.  We had boxes upon boxes of mutton, and an extensive berry field that was well tended.  Naturally, we were a pie based economy as the wheat was also abundant.  My mother was the town baker and took over for her instead of running after a bell because she asked me to and I'm a supreme f-cking baker.  I ended up teaching my cousin how to make all variety of baked goods and it really was rewarding.  Of course, I'm not gonna use carrots when the compost piles are few.  But if you're gonna make rabbit pie, it really does make it better to have a carrot and berries in there.  It's almost as filling as mutton.  I guess my point is that we should give farmers and bakers more credit.  It's not as glamorous a job as smith, but it's hard work and it's vital.

#41 Re: Main Forum » Idea: Score system » 2018-12-04 02:41:35

score yourself.  I've been playing since version 58 and I still have not crafted everything.

Farmer
This is the most basic role. Your job is to put soil/water on gooseberry bushes when needed, and make sure there is always wheat, carrots and weed available. It might be basic, but its pretty important.


Berry farm management is obviously vital, but farming is not basic.  An optimal farm is also growing stew vegetables and milk weed in addition to the berries and carrots.  The Farmer is also the main water manager and so, must be responsible for the buckets.  Buckets will disappear for use in iron mines, on deep wells, latex collection, and cow milking.  So the farmer needs to make some buckets even in an established city.

Baker
Your job is very simple, create pies with the wheat and the mutton meat, or also the rabbit meat. Pies are incredibly more effective than berries ever will be.

The job of the baker isn't simple.  The baker is the main maximizer of YUM in the town.   They bake bread, mutton meat, potatoes, turkey dinner, and pie. There are eight, Yes I said EIGHT possible pies, each bite of which provides a unique YUM.  They are: carrot pie, berry pie, rabbit pie, carrot berry pie, carrot rabbit pie, berry rabbit pie,  carrot berry rabbit pie, and mutton pie.  Without getting into turkey broth, a skilled baker can provide the village with 12 unique bites just using the oven.

That happens when there is an update.  They’ll be gone in no time

#45 Re: Main Forum » Meta about town security » 2018-12-01 20:31:29

Never let the main fire go out.  Of someone is shot by an arrow, you need to sterilize a knife on the fire to remove the arrow.  If just one girl survives a murdered spree, then the town has survived even if you, yourself has died.  So, If you are a lady in a murder spree, get out of town.  This brings up something else, sometimes the best way for a family to survive is to be part of multiple towns. If one place gets griefed, the others in the town down the road may survive.  Spread out!

#46 Re: Main Forum » Griefing Guide » 2018-12-01 03:13:23

This game boils down to two goals:  Survive until 60 and be part of the longest lineage.  The only real griefing cuts at those two objectives. 

Surviving until 60 is easy.  If you just kept moving with a basket and sharp stone you can live your whole life alone just fine in the wilderness.  So, the only way to grief someone’s life is to kill them.  Stab them, shoot them, lock them up, starve them as a baby.  Any way you do it, they’ll know you were an asshole as they should.

Griefing a lineage makes you a next level asshole because you a ruining the game for generations of players.  The easiest way to do it is if you are Hope, just die or don’t name your kids.  It’s that simple.  Now, doesn’t that sound fun?

Really, what you call griefing is actually just trolling and it’s infantile.  In a game about cooperation, it doesn’t make you seem clever to just do pointless annoying shit.  Try learning something new each time you play.  Have you made a lettered sign yet?  Have you forged a bell? It’s ok to not know everything and how to do it all perfectly.  Just have fun and try a little harder.

#47 Re: Main Forum » The Case For Giant Biomes » 2018-11-28 02:41:16

This could happen, not by altering the biomes, but by dividing the map into religions where the biomes have slightly different looking items.  The trees in the north have red wood and make red floors boxes and carts.  The south has snails for purple dye.  The roads in the east are yellow because the flat rocks are yellow.  One region can make carpets while another can make fireworks.  Stuff like that. 

One awesome thing worth traveling for is regional food.  Each region could have its own spice when added to the usual foods gives it an extra yum.  Trading towns could double their yums.

It’s nice to hear that Donkey Town is rehabilitative.
