Increase Eve spawn radius

It's back to where you can't walk five minutes as Eve without running into a dead village. This makes family survival a lot less important and eliminates the early game, which IMO are bad changes.

No? I've been an Eve alot these past days and the only thing ive run into is 3 unwatered seed plots. I think the distance is fine

No. I haven’t seen a single piece of a civilization anywhere, at any time, ever, since that damn update. It made the game less fun and went against the very concept the game was founded on. If anything, it should be decreased.

Somewhat recently I saw an eve spawn in the middle of a populated town I was a part of, and yesterday, I spawned as an eve in a very advanced Underwood tribe. Most of the time, we spawn far away from everyone else, but I think there's something else going on behind the scenes...

one mom of mine found karltown once

yesterday my mom found a small patch of carrots, nobody there , basic tools, so kinda saved of all the eve setup, also was in a good spot
reborn there much later when all i had left is 3 brothers, but was good to see it again

other than that, some small villages badly placed with 3 soil, no water, i think is fine

You just wait until there's no soil left in the spawn area.

True, that can be a problem. But hopefully by then your family has handcarts and/or horses. Assuming everyone hasn’t been murdered by that point, lol.

That just postpones the problem. According to the patch notes:

--Instead of using last Eve location before shutdown as new Eve location on
next server startup, server remembers death location of longest lineage
person who died during the shutdown process and uses that as the new Eve
location on next startup. That location is still used for the next three
Eves post-startup, to give people three chances to get the pre-shutdown
civilization up and running. As a fall-back, if no shutdown death location
has been saved, server looks for tallest, most-recenly-built monument
location and uses that for the new Eve location.
--Eves are now spread in a circle around the server-startup-Eve-origin point
with a radius of 1000. They won't keep random-walking further and further
away.

So spawns will be fairly localized, and combined with the fact that compost is now finite too, we're going to have far worse resource problems than we did back with the original Eve spawns. Going out with carts just ensures map segments won't get reset, and will create a bigger circle of desolation so new Eves can't possibly make it to pristine lands.

Karltown? Who named it that?
