Ideally you first send a small group from your village off to find a suitable area. Next you send basic steel tools out to your secondary group so they can start up making the new area livable. Once the new area can support multiple people you send the next wave of people to the second settlement or just have the original group pump out babies in their area. You can't afford to move a whole town into the wilderness but you can afford a smaller expedition out to create a sister site. Once said sister area is up and running generally you just have people running back and forth between cities to whichever is more livable at the current moment.
If you don't like a sign in town just learn to make locks and keys. It seems silly people want to make all signs easily griefable when it's already a bunch of work to make them in the first place. I've been enjoying sign making and it's not like they're the easiest work in the world. I'm sure people have seen the Trinity sign or the lesser well----well----well sign or even the bakery sign in the village with the medic one. I'm sure the Monster sign I made today got messed up because I didn't have time to lock that one up before dying.
Making a lock and key probably takes a few minutes max vs making a sign which takes a lifetime+. Being able to burn them would just lead to having to babysit a town sign or having trolls burn them when no one is looking.
As long as you don't get identical twins/triplets/quadruplets it should be fine. I mean could you imagine getting four boys? That's a lot of hassle for little pay off. Always getting at least one girl born with each cluster of babies would also probably increase the likelihood for mothers to keep twins.
On the other hand, if you're going this route you might as well go big or go home. Give us octomom difficulty. Can you imagine spawning into the loading screen and hearing eight children all crying at once? Though I guess bombing a village with eight skeletons at once seems a little cruel.
I don't think we'll ever actually get to a real point of tribal wars. In my 400+ hours of gameplay I've seen exactly two wars and not just trolls killing people for no reason. Both events took place before the lineage ban. One was in Ovenpost between my family and another after we killed a begger coming through and the other was in Ducks. Any sort of large fighting now would just lead to having a bunch of eves in the middle of nowhere vs babies being recycled through the war machine.
The closest thing you're going to get to any sort of battle is probably just people defending themselves against griefers which is a real shame.
Berry bushes are good for a multitude of reasons.
1). They don't require mass tilling every single time you want to grow more. Because of this you can ignore mass producing hoes in the early game as stone hoes can just turn out to be crap. If you've ever busted one on six or seven uses you'll know how frustrating this can be. Buff stone hoes to at least have a bare minimum amount of uses so you at least know when you'll be needing another one.
2). Berry bushes are incredibly forgiving. You have 92 minutes before a bush is even going to die and be unusable what so ever. Two minutes after the last berry is taken off leads to languishing. Languishing lasts 30 minutes until it goes dry and dry lives another hour before actually dying. Compare this to any of the seeding crops. Carrots take four minutes to grow and another five minutes to seed. If you do not pick these carrots in their time frame you lose all the carrots + the plot you planted them in. Berries can just be left on the bush indefinitely without worry (unless someone is leaving every single bush at one which can lead to issues down the line.) Either have berry bushes be less lenient with their death timers or have domestic bushes shed leftover berries after some length of time.
Berries are going to be king as long as they're easy no matter how taxing on water or soil.
Jane was 100% a griefer. When famine hit the town in my childhood she was stuffing babies faces with all the berries she could manage. Thanks to whoever planted those extra berries/milkweed/skewers. Me and a few others ended up moving there when things got bad. Sadly my little sister ended up heading back to town where Jane killed her. I ended up expanding the eastern farms and returned to the village to just find the bones of everyone else who lived there. I picked my last few carrots before passing next to all the food/milkweed/compost I made for a nonexistent village.
Yeah we didn't have a bow or arrows until I made them in gen 6. Ended up getting three bears in my lifetime so maybe I ended up getting all the bears that dude released. The town is currently still kicking even after multiple bear attacks..
Don't worry I ended up finishing both your graves up before I stepped on a snake like most the family. Both you and your mother Finlay have marked graves next to each other by the farm. I wasn't quick enough to hand you the mallet to finish your mothers grave and that's my fault for not realizing sooner you wanted a mallet and not that saw.
Son and mother lay side by side each with a rose adorning their graves to commemorate their love for each other.
For anyone interested I ended up checking the distance between Stormville and Cafe. It ends up being four hundred units east from my bear rug and about nineteen units north to reach the wet - af sign. Unfortunately by the time I took a new girl from Stormville I was too old to really run back again or start a road connecting the two villages. However, next time around since I know exactly where it is road construction will start.
If you haven't see PHS before in your village or have been a victim of OHOL's first known disease Lucas Storm ended up finding a cure for it today. Should you find yourself suffering from a craving for corn kernels, subtle oinking, or a large hog attached to your hands you have managed to contract this (formally) fatal disease.
An example of PHS for anyone who hasn't seen the vicious disease in action. Whenever you see someone afflicted with PHS you can have them stand in the corner of the sheep pen (I only attempted the lower left corner for this, more testing is required.) and spam click the ground/piglet that the mother hog has. Normally the piglet would be deleted if the pig is left stuck in your hand but spam clicking right as the piglet tries to delete itself you instead swap the mother hog for the piglet.
With limited testing I found that the piglet could not be swapped one space right of where I stand nor could the piglet be swapped when I was standing in the wide open. With this knowledge people should hopefully be able to prevent deaths due to PHS and it's lesser known cousin BHS (Boar Hand Syndrome.)
Good luck out there and remember to never pick pigs up out of baskets/carts/chest/backpacks/aprons.
You poor unfortunate souls. I warned people earlier in my life to never ever take pigs out of containers or it would lead to such a horrible situation. Pig-hand disease is always fatal unless someone spends their whole life feeding you. I'm not sure whether people were trying to be vultures and loot my pig ridden body or mistakenly yanked the pigs from my backpack but I'm sure quite a few people learned not to do that one in the future.
That's what you greedy kids get for stealing an old woman's pigs. I warned a few people not to take pigs from containers but I guess no one warned you poor kids.
This isn't even my final form.
Seeing the new update I had to try to catch myself a new pig to show off to our little village.
My first life was a rather simple one. I exclaimed to my foster mother how cute little baby piglets were and I would bring one around for everyone to enjoy. I mostly sat around this life doing basic things until I was finally large enough to hunt down a boar to bring a piglet to town. There was a lot of awe from this little piglet running around in our village until I made the mistake of feeding the piglet. I learned a very valuable lesson when my cute little piglet grew into a rather huge boar. Domestic boars unlike mouflon hate having their heads pet. Within about two seconds of the excited "Piggy piggy pig." and varied amount of pets the boar gored me and my vision faded.
Lesson learned: Do not raise wild piglets in the middle of town.
The second life in this city was to a new mother who was out gathering various objects from the north. She had me follow her back to the familiar town where I had just accidentally released boarageddon. Thankfully the boar had its fill of people and decided to just stand still bobbing its head up and down chewing on the last unfortunate soul to cross its path. Another foolish child had brought a now second wild boar baby to the village in an attempt to bring piggies to our town. Being a regional expert on this I would accompany him to the goose pen where we would release piglet number two. Just like the first piglet it would grow into a rather unruly boar however this time we were ready... or so we thought. Once the piglet strayed from the mother my dear friend reached for the bow and arrow to put the beast down. The only thing dropping dead in this goose pen was him and me. Once he had been gored by the boar I attempted to reach for his bow only to end up in the same spot as him. We stumbled our way out of the pen just to die side by side trying to explain how to treat our wounds.
Lesson learned: Boar in a pen is a quicker end.
My third life in this city was much much shorter than the last two. I had explained to my mother from a young age how mean piggies were and how I kept seemingly catching them by the wrong end. She picked me up and took me over to the head bobbing boar and I knew finally I would be able to produce a little piglet to start growing actual pigs instead of murderous boars. I was only four years old when I headed back to the dreaded goose pen containing the rather angry mother boar. I would grab a bowl of corn kernels for her baby and tried to hide behind some geese for protection. It turns out geese like humans have no will to be in front of an angry boar. Just as soon as I had been delivered into this world I was gone again. The geese made the perfect opening for mama boar and I found myself in the familiar situation of being tusked in the gut. My little brother ended up holding me until I passed into oblivion once more by the little hair beast.
Lesson learned: Stop fucking with boars.
Ended up getting into that village on last time before quitting for the night. It turns out that someone else was able to properly raise a piglet from the boar so no longer did I have to put myself in harms way to get a real piglet. It turns out baby piglets are very heavy and will drop from your hands when they become adults. However (as of writing) fed piglets can be placed into a backpack and will proceed to grow into full blown adults while staying in the backpack. Unfortunately, these adult pigs cannot be placed down on the ground. A few of us villagers got some laughs out of my now pig infused hands. I survived about thirty years with pig hand syndrome, my freak accident bringing children and adults alike to feed me. However when food got scarce so did the willingness to feed a man with a pig for hands.
Lesson learned: Pigs are not supposed to go in backpacks.
The berry bush care simulator containing murder, SIDS, and the occasional honking goose.
What your kids don't have fathers? This bug ended up happening when server one was all sorts of messed up. She had both a mother and a father. If you clicked Ree Ree it would redirect you back to my family tree of Eve Ree.
I'm glad your geese were a lot nicer than ours. We had a full on geese assault on the Zetts family. A force of thirty odd geese lined up along our main road before sending a few of their own into the city to gather intel. They knew our family was weak once they waddled up to the bakery. Three boys and a single girl under my care.
I think my biggest mistake was ever caring for all these bloodthirsty animals. I should have stopped at ten but their cute little honks kept me wanting more and more geese. They ended up chasing my poor daughter out of town where she would starve to death with one of her own boys. Thankfully my three boys: Goose, Goose, and Goose were smart enough to stay on the good side of the geese. All in all they claimed a chest near the sheep pen to call their castle in our little defeated city.
I've enjoyed the update and all the geese led shenanigans.
To think I would have never gotten to make a blue rose if you hadn't put in the time and effort to plant that white rose bush. I'm glad you enjoyed your blue rose.

I was born Beth West in the fourth generation of the current West lineage. Unfortunately, when I was still a young girl I was orphaned like a few of the other girls around town. North West killed at the very least four different people claiming my mothers life along with the mothers of the girls I would take care of in my youth. A young boy attempted to stop her killing earlier in our childhood but dropped the arrow to eat and he was the next one to fall. I told our little orphan group that I would catch North and make town safe for all the future children. North wasn't a very bright woman to say the least. She knew how to shoot an arrow straight but it took her ten years to craft a second arrow once the first was secured in my grip. The foolish woman thought she could make a beeline for the bow but all she got was the same she dealt out year after year. Once North was dead I was finally able to start raising all my little love bugs.
First came Danny. A little bit arrogant and possibly a bit too bossy for her shoes she demanded me to find a teacher for all the children in my last few moments in this city. I guess Danny just didn't get enough love, I was probably still heartbroken after the child I had to give up to finally catch North and bring safety to the city. Next came Jonathan and Johnny. I made sure each of the boys would get a fair share of my love and some of my clothes. I made sure these boys would always have a little bit of mothers warmth with them wherever they would travel. Next would come Tiffany a baby who basked in all the little moments of joy I could give to her. She was a little sweetheart who helped keep the flame of love burning in my old heart. I passed her the arrows which had slain both my mother and the beast known as North. My last born Jasmine came when I was attempting to teach a newer player some stuff around the village. You didn't get to enjoy our special time together like all the other children and I'm sorry for that.
To Spring West- I'm sorry that I couldn't teach you more in our limited time together. I was flattered by you naming your child Beth after me even if she was trying to run a brothel in the village. As tempting as it was for an old woman like me I couldn't swing around like I used to.
To the child of North- Thank you for naming your child Beth too. I know your mother wasn't very kind to you but you were just like us orphaned children. I was happy to have you in our little berry patch club and wish you only the best in the future.
I'd lean closer to yes than I would no. However, I think it's better to have too much food going around than things just being full struggle mode. In times like these you can take the time to teach newer players the basics without having to worry about them killing everyone in the village. When food is harder to come by the game just ends up being a crappy experience of of spawning into "No food baby." until you get lucky or an eve decides to keep a child.
If anything is producing too much food it's probably still berries. Either the length of time for picked to languishing needs to go up, empty to full time needs to go up, or soil produced by compost needs to go down.
To Knight- I'm really sorry how things turned out. When your backpack broke I figured I would just do the deed to prevent some bystander from murdering you just like I was. Alvin was threatening women and their children trying to cull a perfectly fine population just because he was bored or some other dumb reason. Between the repeatedly flashing his knife and purposely ruining a sheep pen he had to be removed before he actually caused real damage.
From the looks of the family tree you revenge killed Bob for killing me which led to some woman killing you. What a horrible cycle of violence caused be removing a single troll. You should have just let my sacrifice be enough but in your shoes I probably would have done the same.
TL;DR Troll threatens women and children, five people end up dying to chain stabbings due to misunderstanding on the first murder.
You water it then the moist staked gooseberry bush is able to be dug up.
It's for digging up the bush. Note: If you stake a bush you aren't going to grow any berries on it until the stakes have been removed.
Server maintenance very likely killed off the family line. I was Josyah Cray and had zero children the whole time. Managed to teach a little old man how to make sauerkraut so at least some good came of all my work.
