are you kidding? you do realize Jason has a work schedule and a lot of things to work on, right? Making him actually add stuff we ask ain't easy, he usually does it when it's a popular and fitting request that's being laying around fr a while.

Ok, but it would be a great thing
Imagine, a person with a 20 yum bonus, that would be a plus
Now when I read this, maybe spices only give more food, but leaves the yum as it is

This might be a great idea
Jason should add herbs and spices, to make the food value bigger and a new way to get yum points

Also, some seasonings should be harder to get, like vanilla, what takes like FOREVER to grow and only a little bit (vanilla then should have a high food boost and to recepies due to it's difficulty)

Here are some seasonings:
Peppers (red, black, white etc.)
Chilli
Spring onion
Mustard
Till (idk how write it in english, if it's wrong, I'm estonian lol)
And so on

Feel free to add more to the list
Spices and herbs should be able to stack to a limit, like three or four
Also, you can't put all on every food if it's visual, but if it's just text, then all food should be able to be seasoned

Long ago incest used to be very common. Maybe to not make It too weird only cousins or distant relatives could marry? And of course If an Eve spawns in a populated place then her children can marry the fam who lived here before, cus not related.
Oh and when one of them dies It should show up on family tree as "Married to:(name)"

Anyway Idk If this would be hard to add into the game, just an idea I had.

Like the idea, but only if you can marry someone from another family (from another eve) otherwise it's too weird

What if married couples could change their lastnames by writing "our lastname is ____" while facing your spouse

Yellow dye would be HARD. Onion skins are a viable option, but by the time the towns are at wool the onions would be eaten. Perhaps that's a challenge for the towns. Or if travel is too hard then we could get sunflowers.

And then we should mix dyes to get purple and green and orange dye. I wish there was a rainbow emoji.

If you admit yellow dye would be hard, doesn't it stand to reason the rest would be too? Mixing dyes doesn't work that way. They're not made up of the same materials, like watercolors- they're primitive dyes created from rather old methods, and usually consisting of different materials.

Purple, for example, was a very uncommon color used in dying before modern technology. From what I recall, the romans actually got their purple dye from the shells of certain snails. Can you imagine how many snails you'd have to find, kill, and crush the shells of to get enough dye for something substantial? It was the difficulty to attain and amount of labor needed that made purple so rare, and only affordable by the wealthiest of people. Thus, it became to be thought of a color of royalty.

Then again, a true red dye was also difficult to get in those days as well. Many red dyes actually faded rather quickly when applied to natural materials, or tended to learn towards an earthy brownish or orangish color.

On a more interesting note, dyes made from indigo didn't actually turn the material blue until it was removed from the dying vat and allowed to oxidize. The dye itself tended to be green, similar to the plant it was extracted from. It'd turn blue once left to 'air out' as some might put it.

I have talked about the colors more and you have some interesting info
Though we shouldn't change red, we could change how dying blue works
You'll need to let it dry on a drying rack after 30 s-1 min
You have your blue

It could be also same as right now, just the drying part is just so quick

That's a great idea for players able to marry each other, but your right about the incest part
Marriage should be available only for third or second cousins who also might have removed
(removed part is so confusing, so first means your cousin, but second means also your cousin, but second cousin removed is your cousin's parent or child)
The thing is, the bigger the number infront of cousin is, the less we are relatet, by genetics that is
So marrying a first cousin is incest, second is also kind of incest, but third is a grey area cuz they have only a little similar genes, but they're still there
Back to point:
When players marry, they have an option to "romance", which increases the fertility compared to regular women AKA higher fertility is like bell tower, only weaker and more accsesible?

The marriage and on ohol homepage might be easy, cuz marriage can be same for naming older players, stand infront of and say the words, on the homepage we already have last words and how they died, so it might be easy
But the cousin part and " romance" (if it's implemented) might be hard, cuz then jason needs to restrict the marriage for cousin to related and "romance"... Idk

Divorce should be also available, it's same as marriage, but instead of I marry ____, it's I divorce ____
Buy if they reject to divorce, then you need to write I divorce ____ on a paper and now your free
Marriage us still available after divorce

I understand that men work and women also work, but they also birth
Since women birth without the help of "romance" towns usually can have only women and it's all right
Men should should have an advandage or an disadvandage (except birthing)

I don't really give a f*** what it is, might as well be a d*** into a p**** to set a new player spawn point besides Eves

I randomly thought about the curse in ohol as well the donkey town and I thought, what if there was a oppisite?

Like the title says and the little welcome
It's like cursing in game, but in reverse, so it's like this:
Instead of "curse john doe" it's "bless john doe"
The "bless counter" increases every time somebody blesses you, you'll not be sent to paradise, but you're a savior

Being blessed will give you gold text and powers:
-Your able to heal others from wounds just by touching them
-You can smite others, if they have a bloodied weapon, which makes them burn and when they die, their grave will be a smoldering grave
-Their hunger will never decrease
-You have five curse points available for every life

These powers are very OP, so you'll need like 15-20 bless points to be blessed
Blessed points decrease every hour by 1 or 2 points

BUT I have a brain melting idea to lineage ban bad people and rebirth good people

Killing somebody will ban you
Killing somebody who killed somebody will not ban you
Killing somebody who killed somebody who also killed somebody will ban you
But after that it gets complicated

Bans stay, if saved but unbanned can turn banned, if killed somebody who is not banned

In a post, a person asked about the great times about the apocalypse and that gave me a few ideas:
It can be substituted with nukes, a staff of destruction and some others

Staff of destruction:
to make making of the staff almost troll proof or safe, it needs a special item

To make the handle you need 3 gold ingots and smith them together to get a blank staff handle
Then you need to smith it with wolf skin and get staff handle
Now it's the special item you need for the staff, DIAMOND on the surface
It should be ultra rare to find and to get it, you need a pickaxe, mine it and the pickaxe breaks, and you've got the diamond
BUT it won't work only as a diamond, you'll need a RED DIAMOND
How to get it? by dying it red THREE TIMES and they take ONE HOUR EACH
So do dye it red, you need red dye, put the diamond in and wait one hour, then it boils away and dye it again two more times until you'll get a red diamond
put the red diamond and the staff together, smith them and get a staff of destruction, BUT it won't just work
You click on somebody and the same screen come, turning white happens and death says: killed by destruction
the person, who activated the staff, will be on the ohol homepage with the same character, the same name, and the forum name, if not, then something else for proof and the person in game gets something special

Every time, when the same person respawns, they will always be born with a red diamond crown on their head until another person activates the destruction
OH AND ALSO! the crown is unremovable, so the player always has a red diamond crown on their head, but can be hid under hats

Nuke:
It's a very late game item, but more easier to make than the staff, which can be made in the state we are in right now in game

To make a nuke, you need a lot of steel and uranium or something radioactive
You need two piles of steel and use hammer on them to get half of the nuke casing and put them together
before you put them together, you need to fill it with radioactive material
to do this, you'll need a deposit of the material, same as iron, you'll get a lot out of it, but mining it releases a lot of radioactivity, which makes your aging process faster by the double and you need bowl to collect the material, which too release radioactivity, so you'll have to act fast, but all of this can be avoided by wearing a hasmat suit
then dump the material in one of the halves and get a radioactivity radius, increasing by every bowl full in size
when the half is full, put on the other half to get a nuke
BUT touching it wouldn't work, no, no, no, you'll need a plane to drop it and BOOM!
Death says: killed by nuke

ALSO is on the homepage AND gets a special clothing, a necklace with the material
No need to worry though, it's not radioactive and also comes with every birth, but this can't be hidden like the red diamond crown

There might be much more, but these are the main ideas

To see about necklaces, check this post that I also made:

You are all saying: It's removed, but it might come back
SOOOOO... it could be activated by a nuke in the very late game or by making a staff of destruction
BUT to make making of the staff almost troll proof or safe, it needs a special item

Then you need to smith it with wolf skin and get staff handle

Entertainment:
Entertainment seems like a late game thing (modern era I mean), but it isn't like that: it could be music, poets or else
It might seem like a waste of time, but I had plans for it
A person doing music with an instrument is not only a free time activity, it also helps others by making their hunger decrease slower, making bards and such very helpful for the society, but the bard doesn't get the effects of music, so they do need to eat still

flute:
short shaft + flint = small wooden pipe
small wooden pipe + flint drill = flute

drum:
yew shaft + thread = yew drum frame
rabbit fur + sharp stone = tanned rabbit fur
yew drum frame + tanned rabbit fur = drum frame with tanned fur
drum frame with tanned fur + needle with thread/ball of thread = drum

war horn:
mouflon skeleton + hatchet = mouflon skeleton with horn
horn + flint = war horn

These are some of the primitive instruments I know of
To activate them, pick one of them up and click on your self to start playing and to cancel, just drop them
the music could be a repeating song for every instrument and some together form a band; it's hidden so the only way to hear it, is to play an instrument and to hear the full song, multible people need to play the correct instruments to hear the complete song and the complete song gives others, who aren't playing, double the effect

TV:
It's an advanced item, I know, so it should be a late game item, what shows cartoons for the players, who aren't matured yet
You might be asking, why cartoons?, because I love cartoons and especially the classics: Mickey Mouse, Tom and Jerry and Bugs Bunny
I'm not going to create a way, how to make this, because it would be pointless right now, but maybe in the future and you can leave suggestions, how to make a TV
Cartoons are shown in the TV (of course) in a 3x3 radius (TV in middle and surrounding is the effect zone) and only work on players, who aren't yet matured (like woman players, who then can birth) also for men
Cartoons slow down the hunger point decrease for the unmatured players in game

SO an OP thing to do for babies, is to make them warm, but not too hot, play music around them and make them watch Mickey Mouse (GOD I love him!), to make them basically never lose hunger points

Considering that soil is a limited resource, we already have a simulation of nutrient deficiency; if you don't have soil, fresh or composted, you can't keep berries alive or till new rows. If we could do those things without adding soil each time, we would probably need to implement crop rotation, but I personally think it's fine as it is.

I don't mean by soil nutrients, I mean by plant diseases, which don't come from soil health, come from staying in one place for a long time, which lets diseases settle on those plants or something

Writing:
Right now, we have the paper, where you can write something, which is the length of sentence you can say, but to write long sentences, you have to be pretty old to write a long sentence, so babies and such can't read it till end until they are old as well
My point is, we have only paper to write on, but think about the first written words or pictures, were those on paper? No, until it was invented, people use papyrus and clay to write on, so in ohol it could be like that

Written clay slab:
clay + flat stone = clay on flat stone
clay on stone + rock = clay slab on stone
clay slab on stone + hand = wet clay slab (could be used for other things)
clay slab + skewer = clay slab with skewer
clay slab with skewer + word = wet written clay slab
(written clay slab on stone + rock = wet clay slab; it turns it back)
wet written clay slab in tongs + firing kiln = written clay slab
-Those can't be destroyed nor do they degrade, so these would be good for laws and such

Written papyrus:
papyrus bundle + papyrus bundle = 2 weaved papyrus' (gives two sheets)
papyrus sheet on flat stone + 30 sec = dried papyrus sheet on flat stone
papyrus sheet + charcoal pencil = papyrus with pencil
papyrus with pencil + word = written papyrus
-Paper and clay word are letter by letter, but papyrus allows the reader to read two letters, example: infant reads carrot, instead on paper: car...; it's like this on papyrus: carrot

Large paper:
spread wood pulp on flat stone + wood pulp = spread wood pulp with more pulp
spread wood pulp with more pulp + rock = large spread wood pulp
(same as regular: flat stone with pulp + flat stone)
-get large paper, which is 2x the size of regular paper
-acts as normal paper, but allows two sentences to be written, example: says: fluffy dogs, scruffy cats; and people read, if they're not old enough: fluf…, Scru…

books:
written paper + written paper = stack of written papers (2)
written paper + stack of written papers (3) = full stack of written papers
full stack of written papers +  2 rabbit fur pieces = full stack of written papers with fur
full stack with fur + needle with thread or needle with ball of thread = book
-compresses all papers in one
-to read them, pick it up and automatically read first page (the bottom paper in stack and goes upward) and to read other pages, click on yourself, like eating a food and turns to next page (second paper from bottom and so on)

These are good to have for graves, next generations and such, but paper, large paper and papyrus decompose (after about 8-12 h), but books and clay slabs stay forever

In ohol, people usually plant the same crops over and over on the same plot of field and I'm tired of that, seeing carrot in one plot, only to be used for more carrots
Ohol is about realism with a few silly thing like the cactus fruit boot
So the farming should be like real life, where growing crops on the same field over and over causes plant diseases, so you can use same plot for like 3 or 4 times till you get a plant disease
Eating a diseased crop has a chance of getting sick (it is different chance for every crop) or giving half the hunger points of the crop

Getting sick makes you lose hunger points faster and stays for like 2-5 min
Sickness makes your skin greenish, even when your the blackest person in game, and makes your mouth almost the same as the afro woman's mouth, but more extreme, as in more wavy

Berry bushes are basically unperishable, because of their reusability, BUT still do get rotten berries, but you can just take them off, eat em or dump em, fertilize and water

Nutrients:
If nutrients are in the game, then you would think: "Then how are eves going to make new towns?"

Well, in the early game, it doesn't matter, cuz in real life, people had no problems eating foraged food and meat, though getting meat is hard in the early game, wild berries could be more full of nutrients than domestic ones and meat is basically a nutrient explosion

Later, when there is farming, nutrients could become a problem, cuz they're not as full of nutrients than wild ones, which could bring deficienties
These will make you slower, but you can still grab thing and to get rid of the deficientsi, just eat the correct food
To see it, it will show the following symptoms, that come from it
people should then eat different things, like bread, different pies, meat, stew and more, to balance out the nutrients
BUT there will be also intolerant people In gluten, lactose and else, which will also make them lose their hunger points faster, but it doesn't show anywhere, that you're intolerant, so you just have to remember it
Potatoes are an exception, due to them being so full of nutrient, people can basically live off of them
Just ask an old timey poor irish man or woman, who only ate potatoes, because they were the most nutrient rich and least demanding crops for them, but they only used one kind of potato and boom: Potato blight

Don't worry about the kinds, but worry about the crop cycles

Yes, yes, this will make things harder, but ohol is about a life, which is only one hour long and making your small mark on the world, and such is real life, which we call "realistic" in our terms and ohol is about that: realistic life simulator of survival and parenting
