I'd like to thank you for the farming idea in the first place. This could actually be pretty groundbreaking in the farming department if it picks up any.

Your smaller system is probably better in the long run though. Yours works better with a team of farmers harvesting crops rather than my system which likely is easier on a solo farmer. It's not too finicky to get yours up and running properly, the clicks can take a little getting used to but it's pretty easy to get into a good rhythm. I ended up being able to teach a few children in the village how to properly use the harvester before I ended up dying myself.

A sample image of the farming system I ended up using. This takes up much more space but once set up is easy to manage. Plant your seeds, water, and when time to harvest comes just pick and press against a pillar. This one ended up in a heart shape instead of the normal diamond shape due to the pond at the top taking a spot.

Here is FounderOne's setup.

Post harvest:

If you can afford to set these things up with stone I would recommend it over doing an adobe set up. I ended up having someone accidentally water one of my pillars causing me to have to fix it and a misclick caused one of the pillars to become a full adobe corner. This isn't the biggest of deals but it does mess with the vision of the crop behind it.

TL;DR Smaller is better for team farming, larger probably better solo farmers and aesthetic.

Hi there. That was me when I was first taking babies through the teleporter yesterday. I'm glad other people were showing the babies the trick after I had passed on from the village. Being male kind of sucks for launching babies as you have to make sure to stuff the babies with food to ensure their safety.

A small test proved that a small diamond (Just one pillar in each cardinal direction) will indeed allow babies to teleport. However these smaller teleporters will clog up everything around them rather than the larger ones which will only clog up the side you use items on.

Nah, you have to take the baby over to one of the sides that have been set up like in the picture and touch it against the middle pillar. This poofs the baby to the nearest available tile.

Sorry, the original designs were waaaay too close to towns when I was first making them. (Jones Family + one other family I forget.) I now make sure to put them in a corner of a town to prevent carpet bombing a whole section of town with corn.

For best results do not set up the teleporter to a specific location so the baby ends up flying off to an unknown location.

Yeah hopefully if he ever implements real teleporters they go a little further than a screen and a half away from its starting point.

Both carrots and berries have pros and cons.

Carrots pros:

Faster food production: Once watered it only takes four minutes for these to grow out and be ready for picking. You can grow three sets of carrots in the same spot in the time it takes for a domestic berry bush to be ready for harvest again.

I heard you like pie: One plot of carrots is enough to fill five pies vs a berry bush only filling one pie and leaving a singleton berry on the bush. Cooked berry rabbit pie = Cooked carrot rabbit pie. In the early game if someone is catching rabbits making pies is a great food source for people out traveling.

Here today, gone tomorrow: Since carrots leave behind hardened soil rows when harvested you can always move your crops from one spot to another. If you're done growing carrots you can always till the row and regrow another crop in its place. It's also just as easy to move a carrot farm should water become scarce in the surrounding area.

Carrot cons:

Hoe haters: You're gonna bust a whole lot of stone hoes and skewers presteel tools if you only grow carrots. If you happen to be unlucky a stone hoe can (and will) break on it's bare minimum amount of uses for you (six). This feels terrible but maybe if you're lucky you'll hit that normal twenty uses out of it.

Hoarders: Once harvested if you do not have plenty of baskets be prepared to have a bunch of tiles filled with their presence. Each plot of carrots takes up five tiles worth of space or 1.66 baskets. I'm sure everyone has seen a whole screen dominated by their orange glow once or twice after a big harvest.

Never forgives, never forgets: Carrots go to seed after five minutes of being in their harvestable form. Should you leave dry carrot seeds in the ground to attempt to save space someone will more than likely come along to water said dry patch. Overwatering used to be a bigger issue in the past but still comes up every now and again. Every large village has this issue and you see rows upon rows of seeding carrots because someone got too carried away with watering.

Not approved for children, elders, or new players: I'm sure you internally scream if you've ever seen a streamer eat on one or two food bars empty. Each carrot is worth seven squares and thus are almost always wasted on children and the aging population. Calorie waste brings down the whole farm plots efficiency when new folk/young folk/old folk eat up a carrot.

Berry pros:

A berry forgiving plant: Should you pick the last berry off a bush you have ninety minutes until the bush actually fully dies. Should you not have the supplies to take care of said bush you have about thirty minutes to stake it before it ends up drying out to where it actually needs to be taken care of. A berry bush with stakes does not degrade down into a dry bush so you may keep an staked bush around indefinitely if you really wanted to. Another note: Berries can be left on their bushes until you actually need them unlike carrots which will seed.

Yum yum: A gooseberry bush actually produces more food overall than just a plain jane carrot plot should you alternate between eating a gooseberry then setting a gooseberry in a bowl and eating it. This is the easiest way to start a yum chain that leads to you eating less food overall.

Saver of hoes and noobs: You are going to save a lot of hoes in the early by planting a sizable berry farm. Once you get that initial area of bushes up all you need to do is remember to feed your bushes a well balanced diet of soil/water/workers to keep it happy. Most new players know how to eat and take care of bushes. If not this is an easy teachable activity that most towns need to keep trucking.

Berry cons:

Famine now served in bush form: If your berry bushes are your only reliable source of food you had better be taking care of them. A berry bush requires two minutes before it will change to languishing and eight more minutes before you get anything from it after being soiled + watered. A large berry farm can be misleading if you aren't paying attention to how many berries are on the bushes. Should you fail to maintain the farm in a good shape say goodbye to a large chunk of your population.

An unshakable and unmovable object: Once a large berry farm is established it's going to be there for a towns lifetime. Even though a large berry field is indeed destroyable it's unlikely to occur. At some point water is the likely thing to run out around a city and these bushes aren't gonna just up and walk over to the next well/pond. Another issue is that a small berry farm will likely be continued to be expanded slowly eating up more and more space you have in town.

Lazy if not given attention: If you want food from bushes you have to give them plenty of attention or else you're getting the cold shoulder. Yes, a berry bush is forgiving in the sense you can ignore them for a lifetime and a half but it's not doing you any good to actually ignore them for so long. A big enough berry farm is going to chew up your labor force and spit out their bones due to how much attention you have to put on a berry farm. Bushes aren't regrowing food until they've been picked clean and resoiled/watered.

Ideally, there's probably a lot more to this than what I've listed but this is just some basic pros and cons.

TL;DR - Berries are good at an eve camp if you want to give them care, carrots are good if you feel like quick food but don't mind spending time breaking hoes all day.

Your last paragraph was poorly constructed. People are going to focus on the glaring issue of you admitting to repeatedly destroying different cities and have no sympathy or relation to your original message. Murder very much fits into this game in one way or another. The problem comes up when you decide to start mass killings for no reason what so ever.

You specifically talked about how you should go on a mass killing in the west village we played in together but didn't because it's "no fun." killing while nameless since you can't be cursed. Why would anyone want to work on making new cities if people like you eventually show up to ruin those ones too? When a town is rediscovered it generally takes a bit of work to get the thing back up to livable conditions. You make it sound like eves just pop up to a pristine town and relax for sixty minutes instead of working with her children to fix them up so others can enjoy them.

If anything it sounds like your source of fun is ruining the game for others.

I mean different people like different stuff. I cannot stand being an eve or the first child of an eve. Both of these are incredibly repetitious jobs. Spend ten minutes finding a good spot > Grow thirty bushes > Start tools > Die.  A city has many different possible jobs to do vs constantly doing the same four things as an eve. I don't want to go back to full blown mega cities like Ovenpost where the only real thing to do is go find your neighbors to stab. I don't mind having cities die off and become lost forever but most cities don't have natural ends due to some bored person coming along to ruin it for everyone.

Yeah it's rather unfortunate that mother wasn't a very smart person. She only managed to name me out of all seven of her children and that only happened after being yelled at for not naming the troll running around. (The guy wasn't even hers to begin with but at least it got me a name.) Jhon and his lackeys ended up busting down the wall to the armory once they had enough of said nameless troll running around and killed the dude. For whatever reason they decided to have a "nameless." crusade through town and attempted to kill anyone who wasn't named at birth. My poor nameless sister was the first person I seen to be attacked since the nameless troll had been killed. Thankfully while I ran to fetch a bow and arrow from the armory a saint patched the poor girl up. With a little looking I found the still bloody king Jhon standing in the town berry patch waiting to be able to strike out again. Just as fast as he struck my sister, Jhon was now attempting to mend his arrow wound. Killing a king however does not come without consequence. Cousin Dolce, Jhon's right hand man would deliver a fatal blow to me as well. As I held on with the last bits of my strength my little sister stabbed Dolce which led to April striking her down next. At the end of the little confrontation four people lay dead in the fields.

You killers of nameless are no better than the griefers who go around killing without any sort of reason. I cannot wait for the naming patch to go out so you people have to find a "better" reason to grief.

I generally only play one eve child run per day when I play. Being born to an eve is the most repetitive gameplay that normally just leads to a failed village anyways. Between being stuck doing the same few things and having to gamble whether the kids willing to live are worth their weight in berries playing as an eves child is unfun for me. Don't get me wrong I do feel bad when I suicide as a girl baby but I'm playing a game to have fun.

It was a little different before the lineage ban came into effect. At least then if I helped an eve camp grow I had the chance to come back and continue helping it grow into a small village. Now a days eve children lives are just: Plant some berries/make tools then go die to be some other eves berry planter. As long as the lineage ban is around I don't play eves and I certainly don't play second generation lives.

Hi Jim, we were born at the same time and dropped off at the same fire. You tried to tell your mother how you were new and were going to be a useless baby. As we grew up you seemed lost in our little village just trying to make sense of how the world worked. I decided to take you under my wings as I started to grow some beans for stew and burritos. The first thing I taught you was to make little rows of soil so we could grow our beans. You were a quick learner and the next thing you know tons of little sprouts grew from the very earth we tilled together. Just as soon as I was ready to teach you the next step you came home to the village covered in blood. Just as quickly as you came you to me you had been yanked away. As I mourned your death a little bundle of joy was born. J-I-M. Amazingly you were not only born back to the same village but to me as well. It turns out you were given another chance to learn and this time I would make sure to see it to the end.

Once I taught you burritos we moved onto stew. Jim you did such a wonderful job at helping out the town. You thought you were just going to be dead weight when in reality you probably did more in your time there than most will do in a lifetime. Before I knew it I grew too old to enjoy all the stew you made. I would have to take a back seat in your life as others offered to teach you pie while I started to get slower and slower with each passing moment. You reminded me why I fell in love with this game in the first place, this is what OHOL does best. Thank you for letting me share an hour of my time with you.

Your mother,
Sariah Gorges.

You guys really shouldn't be paranoid about cursing. It's not that easy to get a group to mass curse one person without rhyme or reason. Though I really do like the curse sound and text, I laughed when explaining how cursing worked and my uncle cursed me in response.

And yes, you can curse anyone alive or dead on the server from any distance. Though I think dead people have like an hour time limit to curse them.

This sort of sounds like a sort of filtering player by player based on how you curse. If I'm reading this right it feels like I'd be using the multiple curse system as a guide on my babies. One curse - The new players. Cursing new players gives you an idea when you have a baby that is still learning the ropes of the game. These can be a detriment if they do not know the very basics but are redeemable. I for example would keep these babies due to the off chance they've learned since I've had them last. Curse level two - The sponges. These are people who may or may not know the game but seem to be eating more than doing anything else. These babies are only kept if the correct gender (female.) Otherwise, since they've proven in a previous life that they weren't worth their weight they get dumped on a snake unless able to continue the family line. Level three curse - The troll. This always goes into the garbage whether correct gender or not. If you're off stabbing multiple people in a life without rhyme or reason I'm not risking it.

I'd much rather see a system like described where cursing someone causes you and the other to suffer some sort of consequence. You shouldn't be cursing people just because they're slow or learning the game. You should be using this sort of thing on people clearly going out of their way to ruin the game for others. It should also be a one per lifetime sort of thing to prevent someone from burning their own score to ruin the score of others.

If system one is implemented it should only be a one tier sort of thing so people aren't just filtering others based on levels of karma. If system two is a thing it should be limited to once a life and always cost yourself negative karma to place negative karma on others.
