Thank you for sharing, I could almost smell the sweet fragrance of the flowers and trees

Nice!

To me, the main problem with milkweed farming is it's repetitive nature. So any change is a good change in my eyes...

To get two stalks form one milkweed would be heaven!

I don't have a problem with the seeding debris right now, even though it stays there for a long time. Real estate is cheap, I can just move the farm somewhere else if people pick the milkweed at the wrong times.

But, what if we could just add soil and water to the seeding debris? It would save a lot of work and make the process less repetitive. Perhaps this could be a feature of domesticated milkweed, so that it can't be done in the wild.

The way I see it, the nuclear family in this game is not mother, father and child, but mother, mother's brother and child. My sister's lineage is my lineage in my eyes.

Milkweed farming feels like grinding.
And it's sort of meaningless grinding, because we're not building skill, we're building towns that vanish in the next apocalypse.

Carrot farming feels different, because after all your work, when you take that carrot and use it for whatever you needed it for, there are still a pile of carrots left.
But milkweed is spent just like that. No evidence of your hard work other than a small stump.
(And then someone whisks it away before your eyes.)

Just some Friday night rambling...

Raising my glass and wishing for a less grindy OHOL future. Cheers!

I helped replanting the mango trees. Unfortunately I placed a tree where there should be a rose bush, sorry. Bottom right corner in Twisted's picture. Now my mistake has been recorded for eternity! /blush

Problem: There is no way on this forum to express agreement or to display an emotion for a post other than to make a new post.

To earlier posters: lol

Thing is, I understand why they made that choice. In this game there is nothing outsiders can do that family can't. Except waging war. So there really is no reason to let them live.

We need a form of adoption or marriage or specialized trade or something else that makes it beneficial not to kill strangers.

Nice. I was online when the apocalypse happened. Everything turned white, I starved to death, and got the message "Cause of death: apocalypse"

I thought we were supposed to live through the end of the world now, and that it would just erase buildings?

My main contributions:

The games gets repetitive quickly. It doesn't matter if you're in an early camp or in an advanced city. You still have to pick berries one by one for the endless berry/carrot bowls needed. Milkweed farming gets very repetitive as well.

I feel more connected with my baby when I'm able to bring it with me while I work, rather than the options. But bringing a baby along is cumbersome, especially if I don't have a backpack, or if I get more babies while away from the fire.

(Oh and bear skins don't seem to keep babies warm for some reason. I expected them to back when I was new to the game.)

Speaking of new players, with all the different ingredients of clay bowls, it is difficult to see which bowls contain food.
Edit: For example, palm oil i bowl (not edible) looks exactly like turkey broth in bowl (edible).

(BTW, I love the new slot boxes!)

So... a no trespassing sign?

Well, I think what you say is clever, and it makes sense. And this is exactly what brought down Ned Stark. Taking for granted that other people think the same way, that their values and way of reasoning is the same. That if there is a core in you that is honorable, then that core will exist in the the griefers' hearts as well. Ned was wrong and it doomed him.

You can't look at griefers that way if you want to play the game. You have to recognize them for what they are: Trolls. They'll follow no rules. They'll take every new feature added, test them for weaknesses and find ways to diminish the game.

This is the real strength of having griefers around though, as long as you are aware of it. Not that they make the game more exciting, they don't, but that they are able to uncover the weak spots and help us fix them.

In medieval ages, when most people couldn't read anyway, signs were pictures.
In Minecraft, you can put an item on a frame, and it effectively becomes a sign.
Perhaps OHOL could do something similar.
