Feed shorn sheep -> wool + dung
Feed grown sheep -> dung only
Feed lamb -> New sheep + dung

So if you just want some dung, you feed a grown sheep and don't have to bother with over production of meat.

As everyone knows we have a lot of new players playing recently and as such they can range anywhere from competent to completely useless. Obviously keeping new players is a huge hinder in any sort of Eve camp since they generally eat all the food and then proceed to die leaving any future kids zero food to eat in their wake.

So how do we test how useful a baby is before we even ask if they're new? Reintroducing the temperature test.

When your child is born first get the baby to talk: Hi baby is normally enough to get most babies to say hi back to you. Now that we know our baby is loaded into the game properly we are going to set the baby near a perfect tile. Do not set the baby too far away or it may just move to a random warm tile. Depending on what the baby does will tell us whether the baby is worth keeping in an early game situation.

Baby instantly starts to follow you around: This baby either doesn't know that keeping warm lowers food drain rate, doesn't care to cost you more food loss, or is just too new in general. If male you always ALWAYS leave these babies to die. Unfortunately being male and new makes them of zero value to an Eve camp. The only thing worse than a new player is a new player who rolled male. They're a bigger resource drain and won't ever make up for what they use. On the flip side you probably don't want to keep girls in this category either but should you need girls you may have to bite the bullet.

Baby stays still where you left it: This means the baby is either AFK or lacks the knowledge or care to move to a better tile. These babies are probably okay to keep compared to the runner babies as they're at least not costing you even more resources by making themselves cold. If you want boys this is the starting line when it is acceptable to keep them should you want males in an early camp. Any girl in this category is likely a keeper solely based on the fact that with so many new players running around you are bound to lose a girl or two.

Baby moves to a perfect temperature tile: This is a good baby and as such should be prized over the other two category babies. You at the very least know the baby understands its one job is to stay warm while you attempt to juggle work and feeding them. Both genders of babies should be kept in this category regardless of how many boys and/or girls you have at the time. These babies can still end up being a bust but are much less likely to and are likely just better players overall.

Another variation of the temperature test is putting babies on slow fires in the desert. Obviously this should not be done repeatedly as once a baby has jumped from the fire they show they have the knowledge that being too hot drains their food faster. The up side to this fire method is you will quickly dispose of any afk babies or new players as the fire burns them alive.

Please do not use the temperature test on babies in towns. I know it is hard to play with a bunch of new players running around like chickens with their heads cut off but it is the best place for them to learn. On the other hand, Eve camps aren't the best of places to try to teach babies so weeding out a few of the less useful babies shouldn't be that big of a deal.

I agree. Although it was funny when the boar got me right before I poped a baby. It was as if he performed a C-section.
