Just a little effort

A lot of the time this game is pretty brutal to your efforts. You work so hard and a newb, goof, or griefer that is your descendant will piss it all away. Or the baby roulette keeps giving you boys. But every so often your work pays off.

I found myself in such a situation today. I was the last girl in the village. At first I assumed I would just have babies while I worked. But when I did not have one for 7 minutes I realized I need to take being the last girl serious. I camped a perfect temp in the berries and focused on just having kids.

I had 6 sons before I had my last child a girl . . . who was pretty much a total newb. I never fed and guarded a girl so much. I taught her to farm and told her to stay in the berries. I knew the wild animals would kill her if she stepped away from them. I brought her soil and water, so she had something to do and could help. When she started having kids I had to interceded to keep her from letting her babies starve. Her first daughter was a moron that went looking for iron at age 13 (way too young). But her second daughter was a genius. She found perfect temp and all I needed to do keep that one alive was feed her like 2 or 3 berries and she made it. I even named her.

That little bit of difference on that girl is all it took. She was a good player who had 11 kids with 5 of them being smart girls in turn.

When I checked up on my descendants an hour later I was expected them to have died out as usual, I was shocked to see they had survived and still look like they are surviving.

It is amazing how much a big difference a little effort in that little girl made. I thought for sure I had failed when I died, but those spare two berries is all it took to give a good player a chance to turn things around.

Ohhohh.. That is quite long! I admit you did make it matter as a last girl. Good job!

the other life we had a smart guy who was smithing and others who rabbit hunting so my effort on getting thread, one rabbit for bellows as kid wasn't needed, but i made a pack as the furs were there a long time, and i found some green biome with branches and seals
so i made myself a seal skin
when we were down to last girl, i gave all my clothes to her, skirt and seal skin
literally almost starved without it, so got used to it but was worth it

i could never finish the pen, but i got more iron and we made all 6 into tools, so we had complete set and the vein was pretty close

i like small families where a little effort can help them survive

the other life we had too many babies and i wanted to kidnap some to slow down the baby boom
but this little one was like 'hi un cl' and he said hi every time she seen me after, so i couldn't let her starve, and i took care of her until she went old and couldn't raise kids, and she did what i asked and enjoyed herself planting carrots, milkweed, seen my pen and said to her kids, we are now ranchers, i could have done myself but told her to feed the lamb with berry and carrot bowl, she was so excited about everything

I agree. I love like coming in as like as the daughter or grand daughter of an Eve, or when a village has just suffered a set back and is almost dead. Those are the most satisfying places to jump in because all you work is immensely useful. I often sucide now if I spawn in too rich of a village. It is boring.

This life was the most satisfying in a long while because my actions allowed the line to continue on for another 19 generations! This was a town that would have died at generation 6 if a typical player had played my life. But because of my efforts I kept a village going another 19 generations. I very proud of that. I was hoping that this note would catch the attention of the Eve or someone after me. I am really interested in hearing from the guy that build a road to the goose ponds. That was very smart.
