You can always do this away from a town. All you need is a 3x3 corn and carrot patch near some wild berry bushes. Fence it in for added security.
Not in the picture: the sheep pen right below. It's small but workable. I have to say it was a delightfully pleasant morning. Nice spending it with you guys! I'd love to add a bigger porch for stew and babysitting.
You all better send Oblong Mother's Day cards and a nice bouquet of flowers.
More griefer wank material.
When dropping down baskets of soil, think in terms of a 9x9 plot
U _ U
U _ U
U _ U
Drop Dirt at U then bowl the excess to the center _
Penguin griefers are the worst! Careful with that guy.
Well you can turn it into a door later so it's not like it's a waste. Just a bit of fun.
Carrot watcher.
Seriously it's a terrible and thankless job but you know when the carrots aren't being watched. Seeds take an hour to despawn and the rows never despawn now. The balance still feels off.
It's either feast or famine.
Milkweed farmer
So many things in a village depend on milkweed. Boxes, buckets, doors, carts, bows, arrows!
Tool returner
Always return broken tools to the forge. Bonus points for combining broken tools and getting the crucible ready.
Also trading is fun! Remember fun?
I was just in a town and we had a note that said another town was a short distance to the NorthWest. We were really low on females because two were murdered. Tons of wonderful guys though. No lineage name.
Jesus. Roads suck around farms. It's not neat. It's a pain in the ass for your fellow players.
Historically, cave paintings have a lot of dicks represented so I'm fine with that.
I love it! Very clever!
2000/200 = 10
Not to be picky. Just clarifying.
I put it in the nearest container. If that happens to be the kitchen box or my backpack or a random basket I don't care. A drawn knife is dangerous.
If you were really free ranging it, you could plant a square of berry bushes three wide around a three by three plot for carrots. Sheep couldn't get at the carrot patch.
Yep, I'm out until this is fixed. I'd be shooting people digging graves all day and that's just not my thing. I don't want to make it my thing either.
Now we're worried about mouth sounds? Half the sound fx are mouth sounds.
Maybe I just have a high tolerance for that stuff.
Maybe its because my brother spent our entire childhood making weird sounds and I am now immune.
If you create your basket out of reeds, you are no longer able to pick up the basket if you create it on the tulle stumps. I saw six of these in an eve village so it's not just my character.
Shepherd's pie would be amazing
baked potato + bowl = baked potato in bowl
baked potato in bowl + sharp stone = mashed potato
Mutton + copper pot = mutton in copper pot
mutton in copper pot + bowl of corn kernels = Mutton and corn in copper pot
Mashed potatoes + mutton and corn in copper pot = Unbuttered shepherd's pie
butter + unbuttered shepherds' pie = buttered shepherd's pie
buttered shepherd's pie + oven = Baking shepherd's pie
hand + baking shepherd's pie = Shepherd's pie
Did anyone else notice that Jason has never killed any of us in game? I mean /with/ the game, sure, thousands upon thousands, but he's never even stabbed one of us.
I try to tell other players that if a kid runs off, it's not worth chasing. Right now the situation isn't great for anyone. I try to take a head count of all the female characters before I leave because I don't mind spending twenty minutes to pop out a kid or two to help keep the place going. After that I'll leave my stuff, if any, behind to the other adults.
Pigs are a waste. Don't feel bad about disposing of baby boars if you've killed the mom. Cows on the other hand should be adorned with wreathes of roses and allowed to happily munch corn for the lovely things they give like milk, butter and paint.
If I have time and am not currently putting out a fire, I ask my kids what they like to do and what's fun for them then I try to connect them with people who are already doing the job. Do you like to hunt? Gather things? Haul? Bake? If they want to hunt or haul, I'll keep an eye out for or make them a backpack. If they like to bake, the apron is an easy choice. Maybe it's just me, but it's pretty darn hard to get much done in the first years of your life when you're constantly hungry. A full suit of clothing makes someone more productive than scattering bits over a bunch of kids.
If I'm not in the middle of a project, I'll walk them around the town. If they react to things that might be less than optimal, I know that's the kid to sink effort into.
Having actually farmed potatoes firsthand, the pitchfork is the weapon of choice for picking potatoes. Pitchforks are also great for turning compost piles and breaking up soil.
