The dystopian sandbox

Leilani · 2018-07-13 13:53:02

I wanted nothing more than a sandbox where I could build in peace, undisturbed by tiny players screaming "F" and toddlers taking my sharp stone every time I turned my back. I found myself in a utopian space, surrounded by everything I would need to craft in peace. I quickly set up my kiln and fire, and snared some rabbits. I picked milkweed whether it was fruiting or not, knowing that no future generations depended on my responsibly using the resources. I got my forge going, but I started feeling uneasy. I realized I liked the challenge of raising a girl who would survive to continue the lineage another generation. And boys are so helpful once they're big enough to carry a basket. I dismissed the unwelcome thoughts and began to set up to start forging the iron that was just laying there.

Suddenly--another person! She cut down the tree keeping me in my sandbox, took one of my snared rabbits (which I figured was fair payment) and was on her way before I could say anything. I ran north after her, amazed that there were other people here. She cut another person's tree, and I went inside. "Hi!" I exclaimed. "What?!? I thought I was the only one here." "I thought so too!" "This is so weird!" "I know!"

I asked, "Are you new?" She replied, "No, but it's been a few months." I said, "Want to build something amazing together?" We agreed to combine our efforts and started up a kiln and forging in her sandbox. But she went away and didn't come back. Did she succumb to the snakes? I stood there, suddenly feeling the meaninglessness of my efforts. There would be no daughter spawning to use everything I'd crafted. I even began to miss the annoying kids who took my tools.

I suicided and started playing the real game.

You could always bust others out, I've seen a whole town built by the tutorial people.
Make a cart and bring your tools north and you'll eventually encounter others. Free as many as you can and hope they free you when when you die.

If that town is still alive, they should make a bell. Call other tutorial people and let them know it exists.

Milkweed no longer respawns no matter when you pick it.

I build two 2 small and one quite big city in the tutorial with a lot of other guys. That was pretty funny. I wonder if someone saw the places outside if the tutorial?

I noticed that the time spent in the tutorial doesn’t get recorded. I tried to show Jason a glitch from when I played in the tutorial, but I couldn’t find it in the recorded games folder.
