Wolf farms. It's a good mutton/pork sink, and also you get hats from it. I've experimented with it before on the OneCityServer, and you could pull in about 10 hats in one life, depending on the size of your pen.

I must say, I'm impressed you've only just arrived in donkey town. Don't know how you got away with it most of the time

I saw one today, and instantly thought this up.

I saw one suggestion where it could float in a pond, which I think would be hilarious

I was Eris (Count, no last name though). I hid the crown behind a white pine tree very far from town because of the monarchy bullshit. My mother was Butch, she seemed nice at first. It wasn't until later, I realised she was embracing this whole crown roleplay, by spilling the blood of heretics.

As you'd expect, it was just people stabbing more people to fight for the crown. One person would stab the queen, who'd get stabbed by a guard, who'd get stabbed by a random, who'd get stabbed by a guard etc.

I sooooo wanted to stab Butch when she was in cooldown, but I knew I would fall into the trap of the murder chain. Luckily, someone did shut her up in the end.

So when I was old, I hid the crown, and wrote two notes shitting on the monarchy, titled with AA and AB so they can be organised. I wonder if they can still be found. After that, I just went and killed myself in a wasteland.

As Laaibah II, I spawned in a city with a few crazy things going on. For one, a bear was harassing the town, and people were bleeding all over the place. My ma was also feeding me while she was clearly old, and a massive plot of carrots was just being neglected. I got raised by another man in the meantime, he was very kind, shame I forgot his name.

The next few years, I don't quite remember, but I recall gathering up random rabbit furs I found lying around to make me a nice kit. It seemed some other people also wanted clothes, so I thought it would be convenient for them to hunt some rabbits. I was too young at the time to go on a massive run, but I did get enough for me to at least complete my kit.

I felt a bit disconnected from the town, to be honest. There wasn't a lot of human interaction since I spent the rest of my life gathering rabbits. It started from a quick little run and became an obsessive repetitive task where every rabbit hole that crossed my screen HAD to be slaughtered.
I even found a cart with baskets in the savannah, someone had clearly died doing what I did. I took it, and it helped out a BUNCH.

So I just hunted for years on end. I kept dropping off rabbits in columns of three, and saw a young lass who also wanted to make a contribution. She later starved, however, I found her body and her stuff one time coming back with my cart.
I just couldn't stop, and some people appreciated my efforts. A lot of people were pretty wowed too, at how much game was here in the hunting grounds.

It was a good life, and I hope my son Rabab is out there somewhere. I raised him at the end of my life, and decided to go to sleep in the savannah.

The less babies fed, The more chance of town surviving.

After reading Tarr's clothes guide, I took note of the fact you can get an endless stream of wolf skins if you breed them.
I logged on and wanted to try it out, so I started by looking for carnitas. I found a swamp just west of the town, and located some arrows and stuff to take out the boar. I quickly changed my plan though, expecting this to happen for many cycles, and prepared some corn to domesticate the boars.

Enter Cecil, I found him trying to load an arrow into a bow, but he wasn't old enough. Having no trust for him yet, I took the bow, surprised I was even old enough. I asked him what he needed it for, and it seems he wanted to hunt boars as well. I didn't realise at the time, but he had the same intent as me.
I gave the arrow to him as a trust test, and he didn't shoot me while I was alone with him, so I believed him.
Later on, I did use that same bow to kill Thoryn, a girl who was wasting shovel durability very quickly on bodies and stealing rocks from the forge to make a graveyard. She played dumb after a while before biting the dust, but one of my supporters (Topaz Speed) stabbed an accused 'sympathiser' (Oneal Speed) for dumbing down the griefer's actions

While I was gone, Cecil must've found a different boar, because while I was domesticating a boar piglet, I came back to find carnitas next to cecil. I knew we were on the same page at that point. I finished feeding the piglet from the domestic boar, and went back into town to grab some mutton and find the closest wastelands biome.
I didn't really find one in the immediate area, and I travelled back to eat, finding some fully grown dogs in town.

Cecil had found a wolf long before me, and had bred all it's children with the carnitas he had made. Which included the baby wolf.

I could tell there was a wolf roaming the city, because three people had come to the centre hospital, dying from bite wounds. What made the wolf even more threatening was its chase behaviour, so it was like a bear was in town.
Instead of trying to kill it, I first confronted Cecil, who felt very ashamed of himself. He made a sad face, so I knew it wasn't intentional for him to grief the town with the wolf. I grabbed some mutton, and suppressed the wolf by feeding it, thus ending its spree for now. I clung onto my dream of a wolf ranch, and also got to save the remaining townsfolk. By now, it had moved north, far enough away to not harm anyone in its old age.

I got criticised for making it pregnant though, there was a very unhappy baker who I thought would stab me for my actions. Regardless, I assumed the semi-tame wolves to be biome locked, and found a pocket of swamp for the wolf pup to live in. I never saw it again when I came back with mutton though, so now I realise a pen is needed for my dream to come true. Furthermore, the old wolf was still alive, possibly even after I died, so I can tell it takes incredibly long. OneTech confirmed it for me (160 estimated moves, holy crap).

What have I learnt? Before I could do anything with wolves, next time I'll need:
-A pen, with inner walls of berries that only players can stand on, making it safer to interact with wolves
-leave ample space for old wolf movement, it takes AGES for them to die
-Have a sheep farm and pig farm. Sheep provide mutton, pigs provide carnitas
-Leave wolf farming to players who are very good at staying alive, or are very careful
-Just incase, have pads ready

#221 Re: Main Forum » Are all these babies really needed? » 2019-02-06 21:25:11

Considering a portion of players are unable to reach fertility from starvation, I think it's ok to have a lot of kids so there is a bigger chance of your lineage continuing.

I agree that it is acceptable to abandon babies during a food production drop, or famine, since those things need your attention more

#222 Re: Main Forum » Do you enjoy killing people? » 2019-02-05 23:01:21

I get satisfaction from killing, especially when the griefer is trying to be as annoying as possible. But reading Bob and Lu's stories twists my stomach, particularly the snowballing since you can get away with it so easily. Everything else is avoidable, but it still hurts.

I don't know what substances would be used for this kind of stuff, but I want a way to preserve certain decaying items, such as sapling cuttings and tree cuttings, just so there's a backup in case the only sapling in 200 tiles ends up being cut. Would be helpful in a town with no skewers, or someone who has no time to forage for cuttings to make a sign.

Just seems more appropriate to me, a crude plane seems a bit far fetched. Couldn't we get the same result with a hot air balloon?

Yeah, but why is it the people NOT getting named who are upset about it. Like if I'm nameless, that only would protect me from being cursed

Because they can't be referred to by name, nor pass on their mother's surname further down the line.
The least significant reason is it's much harder to find someone by name in family trees when they're unnamed/have no surname, they get added to the heap of people with identical names.
