And how many tool slots do you expect to have after an apocalypse?

Most towns are dying because they are poorly placed, and poorly built towns. So let them die. No reason to reset. Towns that are well built still have plenty of resources.

I have eliminated the endstones from this location, but there are more out there. I've seen more than three Dark Nosaj activated. Be on the lookout for more sites under construction.

Can you look on Wondible's map and post the rough coords? https://onemap.wondible.com/

Exactly. My case is largely dependent on Jason's design mechanic. If he had Eve's expanding outward in all directions, then a main East/West road likely would have no advantages.

Well Spoon, all I can say then is your road design is horrible and I'm glad you aren't on BS2 making roads.

With such a town layout you have essentially left B and D towns unconnected. Players would just run direct, rather than take the long, long route. You only got 33% more efficient but basically left out 25% of towns. Not a very good trade off.

You also lose any "landmark" effect you get from having a long flat road that's easily recognizable. If a player gets born to a mother running around in the wilderness and wants to make it back to a real town, and they do come upon one of your roads, it has zero stand out effect. Is this the main road or just another winding path going nowhere? When you move down a long straight road and you come upon one of the branches going off to a side town, a player that's been down that way before will recall that branch and where it leads based off the biomes and other player made markers at that location. You will know where you are for sure regardless of bells ringing or now. This can happen with a winding snake path, but it's much harder to remember. Waystones can assist with this, but now you need to add in the effort needed to make the maps, run to the stones, set them up. It isn't much time, but it's still time, and that cuts into any efficiency gains too. With limited tool slots doing this pretty much takes up an entire life.

In one full life I could have just laid a complete branch road of about 150 tiles. If that isn't enough to complete fully connected then with light spacing someone WILL complete it if that town is active. Boom, I just got a free helper. People don't naturally help on a snake road, It isn't clear where it's going or what the plan is. Others will generally leave it alone and not help. If they are road builders they are just as inclined to work on a road project of their own that may well duplicate efforts going to the same spot.

The longer a continuous flat road is the more players feel a desire to work on it. It's the same reason a big town will last and see people always building on it, and a tiny camp will get abandoned and nobody wants to take it over. If a project looks piddly and random, nobody wants to be part of it. Because of how logical my roads are, I compound my efforts by gaining helpers, sometimes too many. Because of this I can get far more road laid and more places connected. I simply could not achieve this with a zig zag snake highway.

Again, NOT of you are trying to connect many towns, only of you are connecting TWO towns. If you are connecting many towns (that are slowly moving mainly Westward) the one main road with branches uses less stones because many travelers from whatever town, from A to B, or B to C, or C to D, ect will utilize the same path (the main road part). If four towns are connected, the common main road part of all of the network has 4x value. If five towns are connected, the main road part has 5x value. It also makes the road less likely to become obsolete. If one town in the network dies out, then only the branch section of the road becomes unused, not the entire road.

This all is made true due to how Eve's move westward and how far player towns spread. East/West they can be 4-5K apart, yet North/West usually less that 1k apart. If Jason's design was different, an actual spiral perhaps, then one main road may no longer be the best design for material efficiency, but because it is the way it is, then a main road is far and away the best design to get the most bang for your buck so to speak.

I look way ahead and know where jungle is. I use that to help decide if I should move a road one direction or the other to go around bear caves, goose ponds, or berry bushes (I do not remove the latter two). I go straight through all other biomes and think straight roads is better for a long main grand road. Winding roads are cool for short roads. Anyway, If I get to jungle and have to cross a little of it, I take the time to "herd" all the bugs out of the smaller side of what's being crossed and build stone walls so it becomes safe to cross. This takes time and effort but it's part of the fun of the challenge of doing this to keep road straight.

Rose, I like the cow pen. I will add that as a needed "structure" to my design. I forgot that when I was in design phase. It's a good spot, near the kitchen.

Are we certain this is current? I checked life data on the three Eve names I know since the Apocalypse. One was born around -800, and other arounf -300, but one was at +900. When I do a search by name on the map, it shows where they were born, right?

Also, why does the lineage tab sometimes work and other times doesn't? Is it normal to have to fiddle with and reload multiple times to get the data to show properly? That's why i'm so confused. Often I can't figure out how to work the map because so often it just isn't working.

"Thinking for yourself" when you have no education is like "cooking for yourself" when you have no ingredients. It's clear your refrigerator is empty.

"History is written by the victor" is an especially stupid thing to say, especially from you (which really is saying something) because Germany and the German people still exist, and those "defeated" people have contributed significantly to the writing of the history. "History is written by the victors" is why we don't usually read stories about how allied troops committed war crimes, executed prisoners and such. It does not mean that the history about what the Nazis and the SS did are not factual.

Oh come off it. Some little shit kid didn't make it because he wanted to celebrate an aesthetically pleasing tribal design. Amazing they never make any of the other variants or a reverse swastika as shown in your little linky. Never a repeating pattern either, Nope, always seems to just be one big symbol of the Third Reich and Nazism.

What are you, an interior designer or tile layer? What cause do you have to give two shits about any design? Never seen you posting much about the herringbone or houndstooth, but now all of a sudden defense of the swastika is on your agenda. Don't be that obtuse prick.

It's not jut SJW, it's offensive in all of western society, and everywhere else on the planet that suffered directly during WWII, and has been so long before SJW was even a concept. Once the swastika was an innocuous symbol. Not anymore. Unfortunately it was co-opted by a fascist regime that went about systemic genocide and other atrocities, and plunged the entire planet into a world war that caused incalculable amount of destruction and loss of life. If you don't see the issue with celebrating what that symbol has come to stand for TODAY, then you are either a white supremacist or an ignorant child, or have the mind of one. Good day.

I personally think Jason should take a little action of some type on this, because if I was a gaming reviewer/reporter I'd absolutely eviscerate Jason over the lack of any moderation or censorship of highly offensive material. The is no blocking of people using the N-word. I have found where someone made a giant swastika with road tiles. Things like this should get reported and Jason should be able to look up who did these things. IDK if he can track typed words in the past, but if someone reports "Korman Boots" was using the N-word, Jason should be able to log in as a spectator and follow that player when they are on and monitor them. I've found they don't say it just once. They say it 1000 times until someone stabs them. If Jason is online and gets a notice right now that someone is being offensive, he can go right then and see. It would be in his best interest to ban such players from his servers.

As for someone who builds a swastika, I'm sure he can see what account placed the tiles. That should be a perma ban right there as well. This isn't even a moral issue. If a player doing this is located in Germany or Austria they are actually committing a criminal act. As the creator of the game that makes it possible to make such things and display them to the public, he bears some responsibility in regards to it.

I have found that most people still don't use all their slots. Especially many new players that just focus on something easy like farming. If I need something I know I'm only going to need one time, like shearing a bunch of sheep, I will ask someone to do it for me. If you have the shears and the sheep all ready to go and make it easy for someone to help, they will 90% of the time.

This is what Jason wants us to do. I do this and I find I hardly ever have a tool slot shortage. Of course, it helps knowing what uses a slot and what does not. It is hard to plan out what you want to use slots on when there isn't a way to check what will use a slot and what will not until after it's too late (for a new player that doesn't know all this that is). That's what I'd like to see implemented. Some spot on your info bar that you could click and a pop up would appear showing you what you know and don't know, and how many slots still unassigned. Then when you pickup or mouse over an object, it should say (learned) or (unlearned) next to the object name, if it's something that takes a slot.

Easy right? So easy Jason probably won't ever do it.
