Good idea with the visual associated with fitness in old age.

Hairy chests (for men) are the most obvious way.

But yeah, I will think about this.

Are the rumours that one can obtain perfect scores repeatedly by dying at 60 in tutorial repeatedly true?

I mean you can gain rank there. I was going to afk to see if I could reach max score but I only got six points from one life.

i dont get the scoring system either. Like i have dedicated one life on revenging my mum i killed 7 people and did nothing at all (not my usual jam im against grieving 99% of the time) i got more score in that life then in a life working my ass of like a robot and caring for my kids. how does that give the right incentive? also i died at 52 when i went on a murder spree and got to 60 on the robot life. i really dont get why that gave me more score tho ...

I think at least this helps give an effect similar to actual survival instinct you get in an actual life. Also, this may actually be slight net positive for inter-family relations since starting a fight would obviously be detrimental for both sides scores.

Only issue i can see is overzealous players who are anal about min-maxing everything to get extremely high genetics score. Eugenics is no fun , but we'll see if it happens

I mean I don't think the scores matter that much. Only if you care about being the best potential mom which is only one very specific thing you can be good at. I would assume some people are going to care about it but for me it has zero impact. I don't even know who any of those people on the leaderboards are and unless you provide proof of being or not being someone we're all rank one and not rank one at the same time.

The bonuses for raising kids is nice but besides that I probably won't check the leaderboard at all in its current state.

Sooo many players seemed obsessed with backpacks.  The temperature overhaul doesn't seem to have changed things in that respect.

Yeah, generation two is one of the best to play in if you really want to make a difference in a potential village as you have all the power to start cranking out major changes once a place has been decided. Gen 2 is probably one of the better time to play male (if you have a decent woman) because you can really get a lot done that normally might be a few hours off.

The only real downside to early play is it's very stale in the sense that you pretty much should know who should be doing what at all times and that if you're a decent player it's going to be a very focused hour of play. If you've never done twins+ in a gen 2 camp I very much recommend it if they'll risk keeping you as you can go from having a single hammer to prepping the oil rig in a single life which feels pretty amazing.

What is the earliest Gen you have seen that got an engine running?

To get an actually full done and running one? It probably could be done in Gen four to be honest. I've had a quad eve start that finished sheep pen/newcomen parts + all the attachments in our 46 minutes being alive (We were all veteran players so that obviously helped.) Depending on how long everything takes in a perfect world it would end up being something like

Gen one: Find spot, fetch iron for gen two.
Gen two: Get all the newcomen tech started start working on getting oil done.
Gen three: Get the oil rig finished and prepare to start engine
Gen four: Get the pump done.

Depending on how good you are and who is around to help definitely matters. If I have all the raw iron it takes about 26-30 minutes to pop out a diesel engine by myself. Oil is just tricky because all of the rng involved.

Really? first time in gen 2? You have been around like two months now, lel.

Gen 2 is the most important, even above the Eve. With a decent girl and a few males on gen 2 even the worst Eve has a chance to get a long line. BTW I checked on a low pop server and it took me seven lives to make it to a working car. I´m guessing I can make it in six because oil wasn´t on my side (took me like 10 pipes). Better players can definitively make it in six (can anybody make it alone in five?? idk...) and a decent group should be able to reach a gen 5 working engine with ease.

maybe murder has a chance of failing, or if you heal too late the person ends up with a life long injury.

lets say the knife stab wasn't fatal like a 1/10 chance and you lost a leg, so you run slower. or you get a wheelchair.

I can see it happening, but not by birth, i don't think its fair to make random people have a disadvantage to others.

But by murder/attack it could be.
