I get this if I unplug my laptop's charger. Are you on laptop too?

Anyway... The berry bushes you planted require soil and water that were needed elsewhere. The bushes were distant from the existing farm, so logistically it was a bad idea to put another berry farm there.

I'm with you on the whole stealing area thing, but this makes zero sense whatsoever. Things don't have to be all clumped up in a giant blob. In fact, that's a bad way to build. Having a big berry farm for the kids and a separate small berry farm next to the pen makes perfect sense. Don't you know how much time is wasted on walking when you're tending sheep?

Crop blights, to punish over-reliance on a single food source.

Yeah, if the ban was location based then branching out would actually be a great strategy for prolonging your line.

We need sickle to go with the smith hammer.

#232 Re: Main Forum » Bring back lineage ban as baby » 2018-09-30 18:31:24

Not really, because both towns will share the same pool of viable babies. And it can be rather limited in older lineages.

#233 Re: Main Forum » Bring back lineage ban as baby » 2018-09-30 18:25:03

Because all that shit is useless. The great thing about this game is that you can be a hero and save your people, no other game does this so well. But you can't do that if your people don't need saving. Civilization is just too stable after sheep. The only threat is not getting any girl babies and griefers, and fighting griefers is cancer between bad combat system and bad information (which is likely to get you cursed when you finally manage to stab one). And branching off a family just decreases the baby pool for the main town, so it's being a villain rather than being a hero.

If a town has cows it's pretty much finished the tech tree. I play the game for advancing the tech tree, pure maintenance is no fun whatsoever. I might consider other servers if using custom server settings didn't block updates, and there were any other people on those servers.

Because it sucks when you keep getting born to the same city when all you want is a starter camp run. I just lived a full life in a city, I don't want another.

#236 Re: Main Forum » Immigration (new concept) » 2018-09-27 15:10:45

If the endgoal is getting babies to save the lineage, why not just cabbage babies?

#237 Re: Main Forum » Meanwhile in donkey town » 2018-09-26 23:22:53

You could just use FRAPS to record the game, using a phone is more work and less quality.

#238 Re: Main Forum » Can we change recipe for pine panel? » 2018-09-26 23:20:54

Isn't it a bit wasteful to have items in game that are never used? Drawing pine panels must've taken some time.

Clay should be craftable from soil.

At leas be accurate with insults. His post was funnier than yours.

#241 Re: Main Forum » How often do you Murder? » 2018-09-26 16:23:04

Killed two people the other day because there was no girls left so we decided to have a battle royale rather than just starve ourselves.  I don't remember ever killing before, and I have no plans to. I figure if I'm in a town with murderers running around I'm better off getting stabbed and respawning elsewhere, being an Eve's kid is much more fun anyway.

#242 Re: Main Forum » Isn't what it used to be » 2018-09-24 00:17:20

Soviet Union under Stalin had 0.8% of it's population in prisons.

#243 Re: Main Forum » Isn't what it used to be » 2018-09-23 18:47:51

Because death having no consequences (if you're just griefing) is oh so realistic.

#244 Re: News » Update: Tree Farm » 2018-09-22 16:51:41

Aw, can't plant juniper. Would be so handy to have one near forge or kitchen.

#245 Re: Main Forum » Still thinking about griefers. » 2018-09-12 16:08:26

I still think curse should make you play as Cain until it expires. Ie you spawn as a lone male in the wilderness, and you have to live out your cursed time like that. Also, base curse time should increase each time you're successfully cursed. So the guy with 114 curses would have to play alone for like 200 hours the next time he gets cursed.

You guys are saying that there's simply no way to handle this problem yourselves, and you need me to handle it for you automatically.

In real life, there is no curse system, and no justice is automatic.

Justice is one of the most interesting aspects of civilization.  It's a hard problem to solve.  It may be THE main problem that civilization faces.

And here you are, facing it.  It's tough!  People are hard to catch.  The innocent get hurt, and the perp often gets away.  Some people feel bad for the perp and give them additional chances, etc.


Sounds like a really interesting problem to me.  One that I don't want to solve for you.

The curse system is there to make up for the one small difference from real life:  reincarnation.


If you have people in your village who are raising cursed babies, and you think that is wrong, what are you going to do about it?  Argue with the parent?  Kill or curse the parent?  Start a committee to inspect every newborn baby in the village?  Then a mother notices her cursed baby and rushes into the hills to hide it from the committee?

Interesting....

In real life when you kill someone they stay dead. So any comparisons between RL and game are stupid. Also, IRL you have years to gauge people's characters, and you have millions of subtle cues about their personality that don't exist in game.

You should have to feed a sheep a bowl of salt to produce a lamb, but lambs shouldn't starve, just stay ungrown until fed berry and carrot.

#248 Re: Main Forum » I mean, you asked for it :/ » 2018-08-02 12:55:33

Make all the excuses you want, you're still a cunt and the game would be better off without you.

#249 Re: Main Forum » What new tech do you want to see in the game? » 2018-07-31 18:20:49

Complex cheese industry with various aging processes - different results in different biomes, multiple aging steps for high end cheeses requiring moving them to different biomes.

#250 Re: Main Forum » A sit down meal. » 2018-07-26 19:29:10

New crop sugar cane.
Sugar cane in bowl + round rock = bowl of crushed sugar cane
Three bowls of crushed sugar cane in crock pot = pot of sugar cane
Bowl of water + pot of sugar cane = pot of soaked sugar cane
Pot of soaked sugar cane + hot coals = pot of sugar
Bowl + pot of sugar = bowl of sugar + empty pot
Bowl of dough + bowl of sugar = bowl of sweet dough
Bowl of sweet dough + egg = bowl of cake dough
Bowl of cake dough + plate = raw cake dough (four uses like pies)
Carrot + bowl of cake dough = raw carrot cake
Raw carrot cake + hot oven = carrot cake
