I like this.

And I like the "usefulness"-approach overall.

How to make dogs useful:
When given the command "find axe", they run in front of you to the nearest axe. Extremely useful.

How to make walls useful:
A shelf that has to be placed on a wall.

How to make doors useful:
Springy doors open automatically, and the pathfinding is not aware of them at all, but finds the way through a closed springy door.

How to make civilization useful:
Civilization is not only needed to survive, it makes surviving easier. Like in Stardew Valley, when upgrading your tools and building sprinklers make farming a lot easier.

Cameras are fun. I suspect they might be in use more if it was easier to find the ingredients for photo paper. My sister showed me how to use it in one life, I spent my whole life searching for electrum, we took a few pictures, and I've never used the camera again.

When it comes to the fun things in general, we will do them if and only if we have an abundance of food and clothes. In an abundant town where we don't risk starving to death (or be killed by random griefers whether insiders or outsiders), we are free to play around with the non-useful toys. But that requires that at some point in the tech level, surviving is no longer the main challenge. When the town is always at the risk of dying, there's no time for hobbies.

As for races, even though I see the value of having different families of one race only, it still does tingle my 'political correctness' sense. It seems a little off in 2019 to implement something like this. Now I don't think anyone should be limited by political correctness, but at least be aware why this might be an issue and seem of poor taste to some.

A solution, which I don't think is a good solution, is to let families start giving birth to different skin colors than their own if they are exposed to other families of that race. But it can perhaps seem a little "rapey", another political correctness issue...

Personally I'm fine with how it is, I would be fine with a change like this, and I was fine with how it used to be.

Hm. I wonder if HBO would buy the rights to the story of the OHOL griefers.

I'd like to see protector spirits who pay attention when other people are busy and kick griefers' butts.

I'm in.

If Jason fixes this by letting the bones of suicide babies crumble to dust, it would fix two problems at once.

This made me laugh

If Eves spawn further away, as before, and road building is quicker and cheaper, as someone suggested, the result will probably be meaningful interaction between towns. Road building is fun.

I would like for there to be a special knife for use in the kitchen and for slaughtering sheep that can't be used to kill or wound people. It would just be nice to have the option to not make weapons until you really need weapons if you don't want to.

I would also like to see how a baton for stunning people and a lasso to force people into jails or fenced areas would work. It might be an interesting option for those cases when you don't want to use knives and swords (if you need to stop someone from misplacing things or from whistling incessantly perhaps). I'm not 100% sure this is the way to go, I'd just like to see it in play.

Hm, I think they despawn after a week or so, but I could be wrong...
I once tried to Eve chain on one of the little used servers, and when I waited too long, my camp was gone.

Haha, ja, hvorfor ikke?

På en måte synes jeg det er veldig morsomt at alle snakker forskjellige språk i spillet. Men jeg antar at hver Eve får tilegnet et eget språk, og at det av den grunn ikke er noen vits i å prøve å lære de forskjellige språkene som dukker opp i spill, siden familielinjene har en tendens til å dø ut ganske fort.

Jeg traff noen som snakket Koreansk en gang. Den ene i familien ba om unnskyldning for at den andre ikke snakket engelsk.

Hun: "His English is really bad"
Jeg: "Not as bad as my Korean"

Det kunne vært gøy om spillet bare oversatte alle fremmedes språk til ett enkelt fellesspråk, slik at man kunne lære seg det. Esperanto, kanskje?

Yes please to more roads!

Would it help to add some available water to the spring head, so that the Eve could start using it even before turning it into a well? In other words, have it work like an ordinary pond in the beginning.

Maybe your change of heart is a provocation that forces him to take a good look at himself if he wants to remain your friend. Since he doesn't want to face himself, he lashes out at you instead.

Sort of like Luke's vision in the cave in Star Wars, only Datruff can't handle what he sees.
