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.
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,
X = value of 10
V = value of 5
I = value of 1
IV = value of 5-1
VI = value of 5+1
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
No. Please no.
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.
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.
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!!!
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.
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.
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.
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.
Pork bao! Made in steamer baskets.
Maybe domesticate onions and we can steam those and carrots too.
I found out today that kindling can be carried in a backpack. I was shocked.
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.
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
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.
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.
Oh god, more things for me to misclick on.
Oh I'm hungry better get that pie out of my backpack
"Click!"
No! That's my hat!
"Click! Click!"
Cloak! No! Coat! Heck!
"Click click click!
Rock, snare, pi...

Yes! The Koreans on sever 15 are really great. The town in the jungle is wonderful too.
