I've taken care of one of my daughters and it's saved a village. I don't see a problem. It's not like you're forcing them to be there. Sometimes life comes up and the kind thing is to stay there instead of accidentally dooming your village because you mom calls or some other emergency comes up. If your family chooses to spend more time to make necessary children, more power to them.

But listen big towns like those stop eve camps from forming. If anyone /die in that town it would cause the player to be banned in any eve camp within 2000 tiles radius, this is because the new area ban update.

You get griefers in eve camps so don't give me that line. You're no different than the guy that takes the first bowl he can get his hands on and spam empties the ponds. Don't try to be all noble about it.

#128 Re: Main Forum » seeds despawn now left on the ground » 2019-03-08 19:32:13

every OHOL player has to know that :

a seeding row of carrots - decays within 10 minutes

a bunch of straw separated from where wheat is threshed - decays within 4 minutes !!!

a wheat sheaf - doesn't decay !!!

an undisturbed threshed wheat - doesn't decay !!!

a wheat seed - decays within 2 minutes !!!

a gooseberry seed - decays within 1 hour !!!

a gooseberry - decays within 5 minutes !!!

tule stumps after reed is cut & harvested - decay within 1 hour !!!

a reed bundle lying around without tule stamps - decays within 4 minutes !!!

now new

a carrot seed - decays within 5 minutes !!!

a milkweed seed - decays within 5 minutes !!!

I've been trying to teach all my kids about decay timers every chance I get. It's hard because there's so many to know. This is a great guide and posting it maybe to guides would be a good idea. Maybe even enhanced with pictures.

Too bad the berry bushes are gooseberries and not mulberries. We could grow silkworms on the excess bushes.

Oh yeah I was there earlier in the day. Sad to see the corral hadn't gotten finished yet. I like the Warning: Bear West Warning: Bear Northwest stuff. It's actually pretty useful to have an eye in the sky.

Perhaps use roman numbers like XXVI which is 26, XIX is 19 and maybe like seven- XIV for 74. Always remember that high valued need to be drawn first,

Duh! Roman Numerals! Do they still teach that in schools? I mean I had to learn it but schools these days...

L = 50 For those playing the home game wink

#133 Re: Main Forum » Our accidental UBI experiment » 2019-03-03 17:21:31

I think I worked harder and was /more/ productive given I could just make a pile of carrots where I was working at the moment. I hunted rabbits, I made gaskets for newcommen engines, I farmed I did everything faster because I could run back and knew where the pile was. It was great! Sure I got chewed out by the anti exploit purists but I knew it was going to be shortlived so I took advantage of every second extra I gained.

That's amazing! Great to see you got it recorded. I am thoroughly entertained.

#135 Re: Main Forum » Made a new steam guide » 2019-03-03 02:07:10

Keep in mind that all seeds decay now and picking them before you're ready to plant/have a bowl  to keep them in can mean they'll disappear.

#136 Re: Main Forum » we have stackable carrots! » 2019-03-01 13:48:56

You can take the handle off sledges now with the adze! Wooo! You can move boxes around and then leave them in better places! You can take the top off of chests! OMG!!!

YES!!!

#137 Re: Main Forum » Yum bonus tutorial - step by step guide to start with x10 yum chain » 2019-02-27 23:40:21

I like to keep a bit of popcorn around the family fire for feeding emergencies. It can save anyone, especially the young or old.

Oh no, I just turned old and I'm watching four babies! What do I do? Popcorn tops off all the babies so that a replacement can come and take over. 

Corn is soo incredibly productive and while its primary use should be milk and stew, there's only so much stew and milk you can make in smaller towns. Having dried cobs laying about just takes up space. They're only /potential/ food at this point and actual realized food can be just what you need in a pinch.

Also the popcorn animation is fascinating and satisfying. It's fun!

Definitely post this to the github or Jason might not see it. https://github.com/jasonrohrer/OneLifeData7/issues

There was a guy yelling in the berry field one day not to pick the last berry and I just steered clear of him.

#140 Re: Main Forum » Education of the baby. "Child tours" » 2019-02-22 00:33:23

If you are pre-sheep and have a cooperative baby, you can give them a backpack, wear one yourself and together you can bring two soil back. You can also do this with yew branch kindling and a handaxe. Between the two of you you can bring back seven kindling in one trip if you can forrage on the way for yourself.

If you have to go far, bring food with you but replace it with the item collected.

Other collecting with baby ideas: bananas, round rocks for wells, limestone for walls, iron.

#141 Re: Main Forum » Live changes to donkeytown threshold for repeat offenders. » 2019-02-21 23:00:42

Is this starting now, or is it retroactive? I'm worried about Tarr, to be honest. He really was just doing what Jason asked with his Apocalypse.

#142 Re: Bug Discussion » Cow freezes after milking » 2019-02-21 22:56:27

I'll second this. There was a cow labeled Milk cow which I tried to use a bucket on and it gave no milk. Definitely had udders. Definitely didn't have room to move. I wanted to fix it but there was no time with everything else going on in the village.

#143 Re: Main Forum » The village almost starved because it was overrun with pork. » 2019-02-21 11:52:41

Pork bao! Made in steamer baskets.
Maybe domesticate onions and we can steam those and carrots too.

#144 Re: Main Forum » What New Stuff Got Added by The Temperarure Overhaul Update? » 2019-02-20 16:58:47

I found out today that kindling can be carried in a backpack. I was shocked.

#145 Re: Main Forum » [Corrected] - Temperature Update - Potentially not so bad. » 2019-02-16 22:13:08

It wouldn't be so bad if you didn't have to wait so long for rabbits to have babies as an Eve. It feels like an eternity while I wait for the buggers to slowly creep out of their holes for the first time. I love trapping and hunting and making clothes but the demand now far outstrips the ability of a town to produce enough in the early stages to make a growing family comfortable. If you want to have people wearing clothes, you gotta have the resources.

#146 Re: Main Forum » [Corrected] - Temperature Update - Potentially not so bad. » 2019-02-16 11:08:51

If you want to make a non lockable door, use a pine door. Sure it's resource intensive and a pain but it's better than a death trap. 20 Milkwed 5 LSS and pine needles. Don't

#147 Re: Main Forum » eve chaining and I died. 7000m to travel back, is it possible? » 2019-02-15 11:37:22

Depending on where the spiral starts, it's doable. You can just keep pressing towards your coords one life at a time as long as you're super careful. The other thing is to hope for the Eve spiral to come back around closer after the weekly reset. I believe it's centered on the longest lineage? I forget the exact mechanic. It's described in a thread.

#148 Re: Main Forum » A Grave Problem » 2019-02-14 18:47:44

First thing I do as a kid is start hauling bodies to the edge of town unless there are more pressing concerns. I enjoy it. I hate seeing shovels used, especially when the Eve is still alive and we don't even have compost yet, for graves. Also remember, if you move the logs off the stumps, the stumps will just disappear on their own after an hour. You don't need to use a shovel.

#149 Re: Main Forum » How should clothes work heat-wise? » 2019-02-12 11:53:42

Oh god, more things for me to misclick on.

Oh I'm hungry better get that pie out of my backpack
