I understand, you do not like farming (I see no real difference planting four bowls of mw seeds to any other kind of farming, I understand you want more for less-some plants just don't work like that-planted sparragus irl ? 3 years for rare stalks).

Also, please DO NOT pick all the milkweed near towns though, I've had 10 years ride and not found one-sometimes when I find one it is so far the seed decays before I can plant it (once today so far).

There are some limiting factors IRL, milkweed is a big one in game. Don't make towns die (and don't claim it's easy to find seeds once everything or even most within 500 tiles is picked clean).
We cannot even trade it (I don't see moving it with airplane as option). IDK why everything should be easy. This is one of the rare hard things.

? I do not understand, saying first it should be easy then saying it won't bother you when it's hard.

(As I explained) it can be easy-if I'm naked, not wanting to watch my food pips all the time, I make 3-5 composts fast when young, plant most of'em milkweed, and mostly town kids water'em (even newbies). When I come back some are gone, but that amount some left like I stated above. Also, more ppl realize it is valuable asset.

Or suggest making rope from oil, might even make some kind of trade possible (if other stuff could be made from... idk, only from pond-water at the site). Encouraging trade is hard, but maybe riding to town with cart of lassoes/baskets of rope could make non-oil-town boost other tech for trading reasons.

I usually see no problem, unless someone wants smithing done I do fast 3-5 composts, then adventure, come back and plant all those milkweed. So there's enough of it to go around, I basically do two carts and 2-3 baskets(EDIT:Buckets sry), others have done other stuff. Also, if there are other composts I use'em (my composts are going to be ready very soon anyhow).

I do not plant it in middle of town, a bit on the side (20 tiles or so), so only few know at first until I tell I've done those items and go use it. Then it's like goldrush. If no oilpump at water then I do it in swamp or later in life when I can move cart. If I have bp it's easy to get some water from swamps, just bp a bowl and carry bucket after planted mw-also most kids water mw farm so when I see that happening I can go my first adventure and let'em.

Edit: It usually takes two hoes though, so ppl are sore about making'em sometimes. And if no more iron nearby town is doomed anyhow-or opposite, with mw ppl can get horses to gather iron further away easier.

@spoonwood:

Ok, maybe not let vampires feed on dead people or horses. Though IMO they could sleep in horse-carts during daytime.

Also: what do you mean recent updates being absurd ? It's Jason's work he's free to do as he pleases, wet towel you.

Kids ask me job? often.
I give couple suggestions if town is short on a thing. If not I say sky is the limit, we have everything, have fun ! (Actually I usually say hf more than luv u kid).

Often no soil so I say if you'd make one or two compost it would be great ! Or when old enough, iron's only at 20 now so needed later on badly. And that I will go east searching once I am no longer getting kids - usually kids see while I take care of them I do baking/smith/composts, hence I often see them ask for Job.

RP'ers or random I seldom see they ask about it. Not that everyone doesn't have their place, but RP without making two composts as kid is just exploiting useful (to town) people.
One day I'll take couple more drinks and waste all parasitic RP'ers in town

Vending machine store:

Item value = 1

For each bought its value +1 (or double base value if there will be one).
If none bought in one minute value -1 until price is one.

Outlets: several, so out of town can also trade (maybe cost +1).

Base value of each item may be set or not, who cares. If it is set it should be settable by input-only-terminal that would be probably fenced. Or set could be buy-value of first one bought, not sold, to prevent griefers setting value of flint to 300 and emptying store. So once you put in an item you buy it back, and sell it again.

Also, why should this be owned ? Couldn't it be town's storage ? Solve both: storage and trade. Also I can see people checking prices and riding between (now) nearby towns doing profit.

What would be the cash ? Anything. Put stuff in you get credit in that machine. Five secs to take it away if not happy at price. See prices by asking nearby, i.e. "rope price" and get answer. If you want cash, print paper with and set price to that. Fast to make, ez to trade (well, once books of paper are done heh).

o/ that'd be me, most bad words afaik.

(Next post about OHOL this one about the talk)
Disclaimer: my post had nothing to do with OHOL (oh it might since low population count in bigserver2 even).

I think I questioned his ability to convey a point. He MAY be good at his special field, but speech and his "this is everyone's problem" -nope.

Now, I've had some (few tbh) disucssions about programmers in usa universities (in, also one in our country irl), I understand the dude may have a point - that people don't know what's "under the hood" - in our small country we make people first learn the basics THEN tell how to program in higher-tier like Cpp, Java, Fortran (yes still used in math stuff a lot).

But you know what-we have professional schools (that's not college/university) that do basic teaching for that kind of high-level language teaching.
So I can see how non-college ppl can fast be taught to do non-critical parts of project (also, again, depending on expected life-cycle). But no college should (again, IMO) teach "programmers" that have no clue how hardware down there works.
I.e. how to optimize for constants, saving states, moving stuff either to other parts inside processor, which bridges are faster and need to be (almost)forced to be used. Those things can be done by higher educated/specialized people.

The project-managers (M.Sc) do choose who does what and such, so no major problem.

But critical stuff should always be coded by people who know what they do, not someone who starts programming with c++, doesn't have a clue how fast is push/pop from each processors internal storages not to mention calculations done inside processor(s).

Edit: I'll reduce my bet for Trump not to be elected to 2k€, but I still hope they build the wall. Around whole of USA, not just some borders Just kidding, thing I've wanted to say... But one wall, why not all. Some towns do it in ohol atm

"(people) would choose the difficult and meaningful life over the easy and meaningless one"
Red flag there, why would modern life be less meaningful than harsh reality of medieval peasant, doing 14 hours days in field, meaningful work to plant potatoes ?

"It would be nice if the circumstances hadn't changed. If life was still infused with meaning and beauty"
Same. How can he see more meaning being a galley-slave than current abundance of possibilities in making your life matter ?

"Human beings were built for a specific set of circumstances."
Oh, sorry now that I read this far. A religious nut. But might as well glimpse rest since gone so far...

(ancient times) "Your life consists of sleeping on a small hard cot for only 5 hours a night."
Maybe he should learn a bit of history, for example in a bit more modern understanding it was usually the case that people slept twice or three times (medieval, changes between cultures and ages, this is european way, way of your ancestors), so sleeping until wolf's time, having couple hours housework/anything done, maybe sleep a bit, do morning work, sleep couple of hours. His idea seems to be between lives being totally simple or harsh, although I do not have context why (s)he wrote that. Could've been schoolwork but probably not, it's bit short for that and faulty, also being certain of everything isn't school way. Or for some it is of course, but not in the 1st world countries (I hope).

(about life how it should go) "A compelling narrative has a well known structure to it. The world begins in a state of disharmony. It calls out a challenge to its protagonist: come change the world, make things right again. The journey is challenging. To rectify the disharmony requires some type of transformation to occur. And the transformation requires a sacrifice. Finally, the result of the transformation connects back into the world and changes it for the better. The story is complete and we can say that something meaningful has occurred."
...wordless... Basics of psychiatry, did he read about inkstains and write the whole thing on basis of that ? About only thing taught in universities that's mainly guesswork-better take image of brains (there's good TED talk about this in youtube) and treat accordingly. However at same time, it's only medical field that doesn't use anything but talk to try to guess what's wrong, coincidence ?

Same. I called them watchtowers, since three people/door to town is not rly fun (for me) to play. Don't know others might find it fun.
Load watchtower near entrance/at entrance with arrows and pies, a person inside untouchable until supplies out. Watchtower kind of very large backpack. You can open way north/south or such. Exit when mom says someone is reliable and nobody else nearby.

Sounds less OP than swords atm, or with any debuff I think they might have. Also allows trade, come in, take cart of iron, leave cart of that. Problem ? Bring a basket at a time, have a friend (eves don't need friend).

Eve tokens yup.

For trade I repeat my earlier suggestion, everything stays as it is now except:
-every 10th spring has nearby desert tile with resource that can be extracted like oil
-two of these resources are created

Two of the resources are needed for some not-essential item, say, clock. Thus -> TRADE. And persistent city, it WILL need more iron and such from far away. Only thing is how to tell its location to willing trade partners.
