there's probs a lot more but w/e

... nothing is stopping you from closing the game. The fact that you disconnect instead of insta-die doesn't stop you from closing the game and tending to the family emergency. The fact that a bunch of pixels connected to your account is still sitting comatose in a server is irrelevant to you leaving the computer to take care of something more important than a videogame.

Edit: added note

Neither of what they listed can't be applied to Eves. They're just as capable as walking onto a snake or taking less than 2 minutes to starve.

Okay so.. lets google the definition of exploit, shall we?

And I quote. "The use of a bug or flaw in game design to a player's advantage or to the disadvantage of other players." Hmm. Fascinating.

What did the Awbz mod do exactly, lets see... it took a flaw* in the game's design in which, if a malformed message is received by the server, it kills you. Then it bound a hotkey to automatically send malformed messages to the server on command, resulting in instant death. What is this, you might ask? An exploit. Otherwise known as "the use of a flaw in the game to a player's advantage."

No mention of it being allowed or not allowed, legal or illegal, what have you. Morally in most cases they're frowned upon. In this game, where it's open-source and mods are not only permitted but encouraged, sure they're fine.. unless the creator takes issue with them.

Because funfact, did you know the creator's opinion takes priority over a modders? Shocking, I know. You keep screeching about the modders rights to edit the game how they wish. Yes, they have the right. As does the CREATOR and DEVELOPER of the game to make changes to prevent these exploits from being used on the main servers, no? He has just as might right as any of the modders, if not moreso, to adjust his game how he wishes to better fit his vision.

Nothing's stopping Awbz from coming up with a new way for instant death, nor is anything stopping him from implementing this on his own private servers [except maybe coding/engine limitations.] But Jason has every right to remove this """""feature""""" from his own servers. Just has he has every right to remove and tweak other features and exploits players might've been abusing- such as desert borders.

Does everyone want or agree with this? No. But it's not their game. It's Jason's game. They can take the code and adjust things however they'd like to. Proof of this exists, with both the mobile version and Two Hours One Life. Unfortunately for them, they have to do this with their own servers, and whatever playerbase they might garner, not Jason's.

Also, another definition factcheck for you:

Yes it's completely possible to misuse a machine, an exploit, authority, all sorts of non-sentient things. Misuse of a firearm, for example, would be using it to hang your hats on. You could misuse a glitch in Minecraft to duplicate items in Survival Mode, for another example. In this case, Awbz is misusing a malformed message error to insta-kill players on command.

And please stop bringing up "well suicide irl can be instant reee" as it's not helping your case. For one, with our current technology, our only way of suicide would be via knife. Which isn't instant. Quite the contrary. Also, I agree with what others have said: suicide is not an integral part of the game, nor should it be. If Jason wanted that within his game, he would've given us the ability to stab ourselves with a knife eons ago.

The countless eve camps I've spawned to in the middle of green with no water or warmth in sight, prior to the temp update.

More recently, I was a gen 4 female of an eve camp that settled around ONE pond and had maybe 3 berry bushes grown. Rabbit furs everywhere, wild milkweed everywhere, even had needles, but ig everyone was dumb because they didn't use any of it. I made a backpack and some clothes, grabbed a needle and bowl, and fucked right off.

To my credit, my family lasted a few more gens before dying out. My mother and brother died before I was even half way through my life [they hadn't come with]. My children looted their camp for a few pieces of iron, some bowls and plates, a snare and an extra stone hatchet.

Mood af on both accounts. Equal parts annoying having to run around gathering plates [I quickly picked up the habit of leaving my empty ones at the bakery whenever I finish a pie] and also having all the forge plates or the stew plate stolen by piemakers [or worse, unnecessary omelette spammers].

Like c'mon, maybe I can forgive someone picking up that empty plate laying by the stew farm, even if it's a bit annoying. But it should be common courtesy to leave 2-3 plates at the forge. And omelettes are great early game good, but once you have access to mutton and stew, they're completely unnecessary outside of occasional yum. There's no need to waste a bunch of plate space with them when it could be a pie instead.

I can't even play in the tutorial lmao, just getting constant disconnects every.. maybe 1-2 minutes? I haven't touched the tutorial since it released so I wanted to check out what additions had been made since but nope, just endless DC.

Here here!

I'd like to add in that perhaps changing the curse system from simply saying "curse x" to a command similar to the emotions? Seems a simple enough way to fix the character limitations, as any message with a / in front of it ignores age limitations.

Could simply make it /curse <player>. Maybe change the text pop-up say "has cursed <player>" or something, or even a different textbox color to differentiate the action from normal chitchat. Obviously make no text appear if the player lacks a curse token.

Dunno how hard this'd be to implement coding-wise but I feel like it'd be doable.

I'm curious, were you the Eve I spawned to the other day that called me an asshole for running? I only ran because you weren't picking me up, my brother was shoving bananas in my face every 2 seconds, and I was born male when you clearly needed females [I followed up by attempting to get reborn as a female but there were too many eves from the update].

They're not the end, but they're the most important at the moment. I quite literally never see any of these other things taking up large quantities of space, unless someone went on a clay run but just left them there instead of making them into anything.

As for what you listed:

- Usually scattered about rather than cluttered together in large amounts. Actually I have a harder time finding these in large cities than I have annoyance at their "mess" [or lack thereof]
- They're literally used for nothing but kindling. Just chop them. Now they're stackable. Magic!
- Leave unpicked til needed. I also rarely, if ever, see these cluttered around.
- Also rarely see cluttered around. Again, usually have a harder time finding them when needed.
- Make into plates/bowls. Ta-da, stackable! If you're able to gather a load of clay, you're plenty able to turn it into usable items.
- Comes in composted piles and stacks of 3, what more do we need?
- Rarely more than 2, maybe 3 tools of the same type in any location. Not necessary. Make boxes if you really need storage for them.
- Usually used up shortly after sheared. I literally never see this in large quantities. People pounce on them for thread/aprons very quickly.

Sure, stacks of these would be okay, I guess.. but they're really not needed as heavily as carrots, mutton, or seeds need it. These are all things that build in numbers very, very quickly- usually too quickly to keep control of. They're also items that produce multiples of each. 5 carrot/7 seeds per plot. 4 mutton per sheep. 4-5 rabbits per backpack. The rest are one-off items.

Tbh I'd be absolutely ecstatic if he made seeds storable in bowls, similar to gooseberries or beans. I'd prefer this a lot more than having them stackable on the ground- even better if we can simply use the bowl on an empty plot of soil to plant, like with squash seeds.

Then having mutton, carrot, and rabbit stacks would basically finish off everything that really needs the ability to stack. There's not a whole lot more that's gathered in large enough quantities that warrants it.

The limitations of what we can use to make some things. For example, we can ONLY get rope by using milkweed, when realistically there's plenty of other options- vines, for example, or straw, or even grass and bark.

The limitations of habitable biomes, and their sizes/layout. We as a species settled all over the globe, even early on in our history. However, the game limits our options to a very specific setup: Grassland and Swamp, preferably with a warm biome. Biomes are also very small atm, even to the point of not being visible from the surface, and laid out randomly. A searing desert next to a frigid arctic bordering a lush grassland doesn't make much sense as a whole.

Babies being able to walk from the get-go. At least they can't escape our arms immediately now though.

The lack of a baby sling. Hell, even ancient peoples had woven shoulder baskets or slings made of furs for this purpose. I get Jason's reluctance, wanting to make raising babies a chore.. but to think we have radios and cars, and still no option for this, is bonkers.

Lack of water sources. This one's obvious. Rivers, streams, ponds, lakes, springs, oases.. Water is a centerpoint in any civilization and has been since our beginning. Just look at some of our oldest settlements. It makes 0 sense whatsoever that our only fresh water source is from ponds in a swamp.

Or, in the wise words of Eddie..

The information on the animals and their movement has tripped me up pretty often.

For example, I have no idea what to make of "Move distance: 1 tile" means on sheep. Move distance, in my mind, would be how far an animal can travel between tiles- and I know a sheep can travel plenty further than 1 tile lol.

Number of Moves also puzzles me. It can only move 10 times? What does that mean exactly? It only moves 10 times then just stops completely? Never seen that happen personally, with any animal.

I feel like it could be worded better, or maybe the information listed differently to be less confusing.
