You don't have to spend time near the nursery. You can raise a kid anywhere. In some ways raising kids while out rabbit hunting is great since you can clothe them as they are born and then bring them back to town dressed.

If you have a horse you can move with the kid back to town with the horse if it isn't far. Not ideal, but there is no reason to avoid things like getting wood by horse just because you might have a kid. Iron is another issue.

As for killing players? I don't even get that. Are you saying you want people to kill players for not being "good" parents? Is that it? How would killing such a person help anything?

Really though I hate standing by a fire and will always raise the kid while doing something if it's possible. And I don't really like being left by the fire either, but I get why people do it.

Spoonwood wants women to stay in the kitchen making pies. LOL.

If you kill someone who two other people curse it shouldn't count.

Somehow I don't think they will be that great at co-operating. And only a small handful of griefers are really into the the game enough to know it super well.

I think the effects of this would be more subtile.

Also some people who kill a lot aren't greifers. They are the people who kill griefers right away. So, they would be there too...

I have very rarely enountered a mom who fed me to an animal or who didn't feed me.

(one time she ask "are you Korean" I sad no and she let me starve...)

But, that issue is rare. Most of the moms I've been born to have been great. Often they get me clothing and even better tell me what the town needs or take me with them as they work so I can learn new things. I don't think this is a big issue in the game at all. And frankly, considering how many babies die or run right now I don't think any of these suggestions are needed or good. I don't think there is a problem that needs suggestions.

I have made a radio and the town had a receiver and transmitter. If someone wanted to make another they can hunt for them.

I put the beans in a bowl at first, but later, like 8 years later I found a little girl emptying the bowl because she needed it for berries (there were plenty of bowls in the town, but I guess she didn't see them.) So I just took them out of town.

At this point I'm like "use it or it goes in the trash" *every* item in the game is useful in some way if you let that bother you you will never clear enough space for the town to get running again. Look at how many tiles *in the center of town* were filled with junk no one was using!

Also if trash areas just out of town become common you'll know to look for any little junky item you need out there before going on a journey for resources.

I once died because I had a rose seed in my hand and couldn't put it down without picking something else up. Clutter is deadly.

You can now at least move a bowl of pad in a cart. But yeah, some way to wrap pads (sterile gold foil?) and put them in a bag of apron would be great.

LOL sausage town means it's only dudes left and no more kids, but people stay and do stuff anyway for some reason. It's very peaceful. But can feel a little hopeless.

IDK. I've seen a lot of big towns die. The fire goes out, there are no carrots so no soil the berries die, keeping a town going is just as hard in the late game as in the early game, but most people just don't see it that way... which is why most towns die ... they may be discovered by and Eve and revived ... but to me the real challenge is to have one unbroken line. To do enough in my life that even if the next two generations do nothing one more serious person can bring it back.

I don't build cars or planes I often do the same tasks I do in the early game:

-gather wood
-gather kindling
-make kerosine
-keep the berries alive
-plant crops
-make pies
-make soup

It always feels super urgent to me since I know that people aren't really watching... I was in 4 late stage towns today NONE of them had more than 2 pieces of firewood near the fire. In one the fire went out even though I brought wood.

So I feel like I need to watch everything. The fire, the compost, get the trash out and the wood in.

When you clean a town just a little people suddenly start working. The secret is to not be too worried about taking something "useful" out of town. If it was there when you were a baby and it's still there when you are 25 no one is using it. Dump it.

I used to not take items like balls of clay or adobe out of town, but now I do. The space matters more than the off chance that someone might make a bowl or wall. Also: tomatoes are griefing. LOL-- anyway just look at how much space this clutter was taking up. I took the items six at a time and brought back wood each time. It's a good system to get a town de-clogged.

I moved all of this stuff in my last life and people went from chatting at the fire to smithing and baking.

IDK if it was taking the clutter away but I've seen it work that way a few times. It's like magic.

I think that is the only point.

My mom got her PhD (in abstract algebra) while pregnant with me and defended her thesis while nursing me. (she had me with a woman in the hall and had to pop out to feed me so the story goes)

If that isn't war IDK what is.
