Great guide! I would add the following:

Whatever other animals you raise, for gods sake do it someplace other than the sheep pen. Go make your own pen if you want cows and geese.

The sheep pen is probably undersized and overcrowded already, because most of them are. Putting anything in the pen that isn't a sheep (even tools!) is a crime.

When someone puts a goose egg in a pen I'm maintaining, I shovel that piece of poop out into a compost pile immediately. And if the egg has already hatched, I pick up the goose and carry it to a small biome far away, where it won't wander around the town and won't crowd the pen. If the goosemaker cares that much they can go fetch their own goose from wherever I put it.

Why didn't grave pens take off, instead of oven bases and tower bases? Seems like they'd be a hell of a lot faster and easier, and only cost a little more iron.

Too easy to accidentally break them?

I had twins yesterday. I told them that twins have a bad rap, that there are too many twins who f* around and ruin towns. They said WE WONT. I said they need to behave or the town will kill them; someone else standing nearby said she'd be watching. They said WE WILL BEHAVE.

So I raised them, showed them the town, gave them some suggestions on how to help out. I think they were new-ish, with some but not a lot of experience.

And you know what? They helped out, worked hard, and nobody caused any problems. The town did really well.

Take a basket and gather three skewers at once. You'll need them. They're a great value but they get used up quickly.

So, besides aesthetics (which is totally a sufficient reason in and of itself) what's the utilitarian purpose to making buildings?

I like to have floors to designate specific areas as dedicated to specific functions, which helps reduce clutter and encourages people to spread out. But I'm not sure what benefit walls and doors provide.

Fed bears standing still has got to be unintended, a bug. No other animal stops moving without a transition. I'm guessing Jason missed the transition from Grizzly Bear (last move) -> Hungry Grizzly Bear.

Surely a bug as well. Shot Grizzly Bear 3 and Dying Shot Grizzly Bear 3 need the wounding-people transition. Or, I suppose, remove the Deadly tag, but probably they should still be dangerous until they're actually dead.

I'll put a bug in on github.

Edit: Added Issue #137 for the invisible wounds. ryanb alread opened Issue #77 for the bear that stops moving.

Onetech implies that you can feed a hungry grizzly bear a raw mutton and it will become non-hungry, at which point instead of chasing it moves randomly.

AND after being fed it has a limited number of moves... but there's no transition defined for when the moves are exhausted. Does that mean 90 seconds after being fed it stops moving? Or does it become hungry again, and onetech is just missing the data?

I think the top spot is Joriom, who apparently ran a bot. But maybe he's stopped playing since then? There were some threads about that.

Suboptimal players enjoying themselves in their first few games must not be tolerated

Jason posted some numbers along those lines a loooong time back, I think, and it was something like a very few people committed a very large proportion of the murders. Would be interesting to see up-to-date numbers. Maybe a plot of murder frequency (# murders / # players) over time?

I feel like there's a wealth of valuable information just waiting to be mined from the life and death logs, for as basic as that data seems at first. Cluster analysis to identify towns, plot their locations, determine their longevity, determine their eve-repopulation rate, graph that rate over time, correlate to events like the steam release and the spiral reduction and the respawn fixes...

I'm impressed and thankful any time thundersen squeezes the data harder.
