Kinda building ideas off this. A 'War" mechanic to mirror the Peace mechanic would be interesting. Instead of an older member from each family declaring peace, maybe you need 2-3 older members of the same family to declare war. Then just make swords not work on other families until war is declared.

This would make sense, imo. War should be agreed upon by multiple members. War should never be literally 1 asshole running around with a bunch of swords, slaughtering anyone who crosses their path. That's not war; that's a serial killer lmao.

Your first problem is that you tried trading, period..

Currently there is 0 incentive to trade. If a random unrelated guy waltzed alone into my village with a cart full of goodies, which would be easier and gain more value for my family: giving the guy some of our own items for some of his, or killing him and not only getting the items he was trading, but also his clothes, food, and cart?

The answer will always be killing him. You get more gain out of it, with little to no consequence since 90% of the time your family won't care or will even encourage it [since you are obviously an outsider].

Maybe someday Jason will give us incentive and reason to trade instead of kill/loot.. but I wouldn't hold your breath over it. In the meantime, you can keep trying, but don't expect good results when killing outsiders isn't only easy, but also encouraged.

Edit: Add-on

Actually looking back, a lot of my posts back then were stories of my lives. I miss those days. Lives were so much more exciting and fun to share with people than they have been recently. Definitely changed since then. If anything, my outlook on the game has become much bleaker ever since the sword update and Jason's new "i dont care what they say/want" idealism. Just isn't as fun anymore.

F

Yeah I'm gone too, at this point. Not willing to be one of Jason's mindless guinea pigs anymore. He clearly doesn't give a fuck about the results of his shitty experiments or the opinions of his players.

It was fun while it lasted. I'm sticking around to see the shitshow go down but like hell I'm going to keep playing if he's gotten to the point of pure immaturity in response to the uproar from his community. But hey, at least he's having fun, who cares if everybody else isn't?

Time for Hell in a Cell: Round 2.

This time, instead of just griefing everything and the game being unplayable.. we get to spread the entire server populace between a select few fertile females, who then proceed to starve most of their babies because they can't keep up with the flood. Poor things!

And now we're back to the good ol days of having to check and leave babies that don't speak, for fear of them being a donkey.

Jason is the best game developer ever, guys! We can't match his 16 years of experience with common sense smh.

Burak appears to have been my great grandmother from my last life as Rami Song. I think I saw the large enclosure you were talking about, but never received access to it. Instead, my mother showed me a much smaller area about ten tiles away that she'd claimed herself. Inside, there were maybe 3-4 berry bushes, 5 milkweed plants, a couple pies, and a few various tools [knife, file, bowsaw blade, a few arrows, a hoe for planting, a bowl].

I'd never worked with property fences myself, but rolled with it when she gave me access. It was kinda nice having that little space set away tbh. I used the milkweed to make a bow and shoot a nearby bear someone had let loose, gave my knife to someone who had a backpack and was working on rubber for the pump, and brought back the file and bowsaw blade to the smith to reforge into steel bars since we had multiple files/bowsaws around already.

I didn't spend much time within the small plot, in full honesty, but it did come in handy a few times. The milkweed was nice to have as well, and I picked/replanted a few times, giving the rope to one person for a bucket and another to fetch a cow calf. The two pies and handful of berry bushes helped, since the town was having water problems, though I would've just kept them in my backpack if I'd actually had one.

I even managed to act quickly and dispatch a griefer that'd killed two people thanks to having my bow and arrows stored in the place already. Ironically enough, one of his victims was saved by the owners of the larger fenced in area, who had a bowl of pads and some thread in their plot for just such an occasion. There had been a public bowl of them as well, but ofc someone dumped them..

Overall, it wasn't a bad experience tbh. I think they can be useful for some things, like storing pads/thread and weapons, and items if you don't have a backpack, and sometimes for growing milkweed. Also could be handy for storing pelts/thread to make a backpack/clothing since those items are so often swiped by other players x.x

But I think their use also widely depends on the player that owns it, and how willing they are to share and work with the other players.

It's a 50/50 chance on whether it exhausts atm. Jason is fixing it now and will be diminished down to a 5% chance, as he intended, once he's done.

Biggest pet peeve: Jason dropping an update that's blatantly broken or flawed and then scurrying away immedietely after the update instead of.. y'know, sticking around a little to make sure the updates that you're so stubbornly determined to do alone, single-handedly, every single week, refusing any aid in whatsoever, actually functions as it should.

But if we're talking about players and not flaws of the based creator...

People planting a bunch of corn and barely any beans/squash. You get 4 corncobs per seed and don't need to scrap one to replant. That's 4 crocks of stew, 4 buckets of milk, etc. But it takes an entire squash/bean plant to utilize them in any way!  Clearly you're going to need a LOT more beans and squash than you'll need corn, if your goal is for stew. And even then, you really don't need more than 2 corn plants at any given time. 8 corncobs is plenty for whatever you're doing with it.

But most of my pet peeves have been stated already.

It's not delivery
It's digiorno

Unless I'm literally the only female alive and the baby is a girl, in which case I [and anybody in this scenario] shouldn't even be on a horse in the first place, it's not as dramatic as "next generation vs a horse."

Instead its more like "This single child, among all the children I and my family will have and already had, or this extremely useful mid-late game tech that took 12 of the most valuable material in the game to make."

In which case, 9 times out of 10, I will always take horse cart > kid, ESPECIALLY if I'm far from home. Sorry kid. Best of luck next time. I'm not abandoning my horse cart for a single person in most scenarios. If I was focusing on having kids, I would've stayed near the camp.

totally a virus, ignore anyone who says it's safe they're just infected with the virus and want it to spread. its a plot to take over the world I tell you!
