Bump

Vaidisss, you've been trying to grief me and the people in the Discord for over 48 hours now. Also, you've taken a lot of things out of context to make me look worse in your edits. You've made it so criticisms of you look like they're criticisms of me - now that just shows ill intent. You took a quote of me saying something about "wiping out" 3 villages (from a week ago that I'd completely forgotten about). If you looked at it in context, those villages were having a famine, and I took a basket of carrots, and ironically said I was a griefer (it was all the rage at the time). Nobody honestly thinks I grief people. There is a lot more to this story than anyone is willing to trawl through, but if anyone cares to read 4+ hours of messages between us, it shows you're of low moral character - hence my comments.

The "gas" comment was meant somewhat ironically, especially when linked to me calling you a degenerate - it had a little nuance (that I doubt many will get). Also, the comment when read in context about "killing yourself" is literally about you leaving the community and taking your toxicity with you (both IRL and IG - behaviours in games often are expressed IRL). If you take everything out of context, it makes it look a lot worse.

Also, my comment was made in reply to you out of nowhere disparaging me and calling me liar (about being online while you griefed the city I founded - which btw, nobody who you intended to grief cared). You've been harassing me for over 24 hours about how I sometimes exclude people when I play. Do you expect someone to play nice when you do that? Really... stop trolling. From my perspective it looks like you just want attention, or else you would have resolved this privately with moderators.

Edit: Also, all your annotations are bullshit. I apologised after you apologised because I thought you were genuine, and what I said was over-the-top no matter the context. I did so at that specific time because Gigglesdede made a comment (quickly edited, can't remember what it was about) and it notified me (I think just regular unread on page). At that time I hadn't seen you ask for a mod on the other tab (not that it really matters anyway lol).

I agree, I went over-the-top with the insults. We've both apologised, and I'm assuming that's that. I meant no offence to other people, but frankly, the onus is on yourself if you were offended.

I wasn't online though... You just griefed some random people trying to play.

@Drakulon, Yes I did over react with the salt, and you're probably right that that's what he wants. I'm not salty for what he did, but the motivation behind his actions. It just really disgusts me that someone would go this much out of their way to hurt people (yes, I realise I'm not one to talk, since I say mean things sometimes).

Kubassa is a large reason why babies are aborted and plebs are often kicked out of good towns. Griefing people who know how to play the game makes them more hostile to plebs, not the other way around... At the current rate, it won't be long until experienced players will refuse to play with plebs outright if sociopathic behaviour like this continues. And yes, Kubassa, you are a pleb because you lack a foundational understanding of the game and real life. I hope you're a young child and are immature as a result. If you are fully grown, I honestly think you should kill yourself, or self-segregate yourself from the rest of society.

You're a complete retard who still doesn't know how to play. Go pick up a book and learn what "carrying capacity" means.

Kubassa confirmed for low IQ subhuman. Learn to play, gaylord.

I was about to tell Jason that he was wrong, then I realised he can't be wrong - he's the dev...

Best beginner guide I've read, so thanks for you service to the community. However, you've said a few things that are definitely sub-optimal.

1. Carrot farms shouldn't be too large - primarily because they are unsustainable, but also because they are time consuming and create a dependency. You really should have a section on cacti farming (~5 cacti per person, ask for more info), since that's a better long-term strategy (more time efficient and sustainable), and beginners often focus too much on carrots. A carrot farm shouldn't be more than 8-9 soil plots (1-2 for seeds), in virtually any society. 9 plots can feed a population of 10 solely off carrots, but please note that carrots are really a stop-gap food and should never be your primary food.

2. Fires are great, but desert is as good, if not better. Knowing how to use a desert (or fire/bear rug) to optimise your temperature (keeping it at the black line, and the trick Pein mentioned) is the top 3 things a new player should learn. Bear rugs and floored tiles also add heat, but it's in relation to how clothed you are (more clothes, the more warmth a rug, or floor confers). Obviously deserts are somewhat situational, but nearly all good civilisations have desert.

3. I'd probably include menopause and how it relates to milk drying. I usually use "M" (for milk) to alert my mother, but there's no established sign. Often if your baby is acting erratically it's because your milk is dry (blonde woman goes gray immediately, but the brown woman is harder to visually discern).

4. Largely a misconception. Berries are one of the best food sources, and should be planted ASAP (if dirt is very scarce, don't plant too many until compost is underway). Berries are more water efficient and less time consuming to farm than carrots, but require significant dirt investment. Both berries and carrots should always be planted near ponds. They're especially good for newer players (albeit more complex) since calories are less likely to be wasted. If many berries are going unharvested, it's likely there are more bushes available than the composters and shepherds can efficiently utilise.

5. I agree that four, very close to your farm location is the minimum. Don't underestimate the value of a desert for foraging. You definitely need a green biome (both for fire-making and early game foraging), but after 10 minutes pass, the desert will start to produce a cacti fruit which despawns if unpicked for 5 minutes. This permanent, reliable food source should be your primary food if you chose a good location. A full-time cacti farmer is more useful than a full-time carrot farmer.

6. I strongly suggest every player to make themselves familiar with the term "carrying capacity". In short, it means the soft and hard max population your environment can sustain. If you exceed the hard cap, then you will undergo a famine, and a catastrophic population collapse (50-90% of population dying). This phenomenon is well studied in the real world and is mirrored nicely in the game. For intermediate and advanced players, you should be able to run some quick maths in your head tallying the different food sources you have any how many people that can sustain. 10 berry bushes, 1 carrot plot, 5 cacti is a good rule of thumb per person. If someone tells you, "NO MORE KIDS", then listen and abandon any newborns - your civilisation depends on it. If you've already got a baby and it's close to weaning age, keep it.

Calories:
Berry - 5 bars
Carrot - 7 bars
Cactus fruit - 10 bars

Best solution is to Build a small, locked building around your wells, then the walls are cisterns. That way people can use the well water, but one player ensures the wells don't go dry.

And just as you took your last breath, you saw your carts falling to pieces from decay.

Probably because everyone else was naked as well? If you can barely feed yourself, then abandon the babies. The previous mechanic increased the chance you'd be born to a noob mother who overfeeds, whereas this mechanic increases the chance you're born to a good player who optimises temperature, a player at home, or at the very least a clothed player.
