A decayed basket pointed us to a new land.

I did an Eve run at long last. Feels like it's been forever. My daughter showed me a decayed basket in the desert "there must be a town!" She ran off to look for the town, but I felt like I had to care for the others so I didn't go. I was not expecting much from a "town" anyways the other towns I've found recently have been small, and we needed to focus on food and iron.

This girl was a machine though, planted a 3x5 berry patch in like 3 min. So, it's not like she ran off without helping our camp. I went off to find iron and hoped she wouldn't die chasing the ruins. I came back to camp with 3 iron, almost starving but timing it just right, there was a lot scattered north west. But my camp was empty my whole family gone!

So, I went for more iron feeling more and more sad. Would I die alone? It wouldn't even make sense to make a shovel no one could bury me.

But, then, after returning with 3 more iron, I saw them hanging out in the berry patch my girl made before she left! Everyone was there! And they had a manky old cart full of carrots! As soon as I saw the cart I knew she found somthing good.

They said "we've found a huge town" so we went there together. But, I didn't know if I would make it. I was getting so old and had to stop to rest and eat many times, but my family waited for me.

Soon we were at the town! I saw a lathe and car parts, tons of sheep, huge farms, it had everything. I only hope that my family will stay focused and keep going. But, I was so happy.

I don't have a better image of the town but perhaps someone here recognizes it. It has a "jungle building" and I was sad not to get to try it out. Or maybe you were in the Bird family. Best life in a bit no doubt.

I do worry though, a big old town can be a blessing and a curse. You have all the trappings of a place that's functional, but no baskets, no clothing, and carts need to be fixed. It's still a lot of work and the piles of food don't last forever. My kids seemed smart though, so I'm not too worried. Let's see how long it lasts.

Maybe we should have staying in the new camp. I swear old towns are cursed.

A better shot of the jungle building. It has a neat little closet.

In the second life I lived there it was completed. The village has a major basket and clothing problem as I predicted.

Isn't that Tarr's Jungle building?

Yep, you can even see where I just recently added the second room onto it. The flooring design might change as I might add quick paths down the center but nothing is fully planned out yet besides something like the nursery and sheep pen being added.

I played as Fouad Bird in generation 4. I played with someone on streams, and we played as quadrupulets. I spent most of my time at the forge. At one point I said out loud 'basket', because forging steel without a basket is impossible. Even planning to forge steel with a basket isn't a good idea, even if you won't forge it yourself. I saw two decayed carts and all of those floppy baskets early in my life, and then we had a cart. Later we had a horsecart. Someone said that he thought we were getting griefed, but it didn't seem quite like that. I did manage to use the cart and then horsecart once or twice, I think to move firewood. Later in my life it seemed like something was off, because that horsecart didn't seem to come back. Then I find Tarr out in the jungle doing his experiments. I asked him why he's doing that here instead of, like, some low-pop place or a private server. I did finally make a handcart at the end of my life (after standing for like two minutes with my friends from streaming headblocking the fire bow drill and the flint arrowhead). I did grow some carrots and some milkweed. I did make some shoes, and I think BladeWoods did also. I thought about making bowler hats, but didn't see the needle. I don't know how many needles is optimal at this point in time. Might be good to make 6, if not 8 needles. 4 might be good enough. And if anyone sees them not near the sheap pen, try to get them over next to the sheep pen.

There did exist a path of stone road like every five tiles leading southwest, to a place with a kiln and an oven... I'm not sure what was going on there.

There's always more resources out there for baskets, or people can grow a lot of wheat and tolerate the wheat mess/cook all that wheat up. More clothing can get made, so that can get overcome also. But, people have to adapt and realize that's a problem that can use improvement on during their lifetime.

It looks like they might still be alive as I write this at generation 20.

Spoon I'm intrigued by the southern path. Maybe it was just for making more pots and plates? A second camp? Anyone know?
