finding a good place to be able to do all that is probably the most difficult part

i usually die because the places just suck, like not enough berry bushes or milkweed, grassland not attached to prairie but snow or badlands, cacti not fruiting but desert already infested with snakes with oc no knife to help out
i am often spending most time just searching for a right spot & i don't even care for a kid, with a kid it's rather hopeless to do it the nomad way
& kids die anyway in 90% of cases, even settled, cause OHOL is still mostly a death simulator than anything else

already to find swamp with reed near some milkweed is often just a challenge, but in your equation you need 8 milkweed for the snares, another 8 milkweed for hachet & bow drill, for a backpack another milkweed, so you need at least 13 milkweed plants in an area (1 snare), 17 milkweed would be a jackpot after you've ran through swamp with reed first & afterwards have prairie

i am already happy not to start in badlands or snow, which is the case in 60% of my Eves

i've set out yesterday to estimate my chances of survival as Eve in the given areas
out of 5 Eves, 3 had a 20-30% chance (mostly due to wolves & snakes), the other 2 50-60% chance where i starved because there was just not enough berry bushes
this is rather the usual with my Eves meantime, i am rather worn out with the constant death

not sure

the gameplay is pretty uneven as of now
some stuff is very detailed while other areas are non existent though needed

in general i still would love it to be able to have the basics of life without an elaborate tech tree & that means the next generation or the third first able to use things like a knife or a shovel

but back to your suggestion
so why is taking a cart not an option ?

i will do such elaborate town activities first after i am able to found my own family line & able to set out the town's blueprint
so that will take a while, if i'm lucky

well, maybe i'll do it once to test it, or will do it because nobody else does it
as with everything else

though i would like to be able to make a town's blueprint on my own & not just deal with the leftovers of others
the lack of own creations is detaching players from the gameplay, lack of care or at least severely lowered care is the result then

no Eves
4 female babies - suicide
1 female baby to wild Eve - suicide
male babies :
- stepped on rattle snake in a snake infested town, they had tons of snake skin already - 11 years
- mother stepped on rattle snake while holding me as baby - dead
- mother lost, sis went missing in search for her, set up a beginner camp in comfortable south - died at 60 alone
- nearly same scenario, mother & sibling lost, probably dead, set up a beginner camp - died at 58 alone

the option in itself to murder is not the problem
but
the helplessness of the victim, cause there is no other option than to run away
the easiness to murder with only one strike

here my current suggestion https://www.reddit.com/r/OneLifeSuggest … ited_time/
will be probably again met either with total ignorance or useless complaints how hard it will become to murder murderers after this would be implemented
so the murder situation won't improve, well, change at all, until Jason decides finally that the time of victimization of his peaceful players should meet its end

but maybe now back to topic

don't understand what is so important about the cause of death

in the current state of the game additionally to the already daunting one hour of the regular rushing through life in, if successful that is, 40 minutes of actual gameplay, is the cause of death a useless feature
i don't even respawn in the same place when i die at 60, so i usually just die at 58 or 59 now, couldn't care less
towns all look the same to me, faces are the same, egoism is the same everywhere, it's extremely rare to find a friendly player now, all probably either gone to the private servers or just gone to play something more rewarding
i am already happy to find a mother or some other player who's willing to spend a fraction of a second to give food to let me survive to the moment i am able to care for myself

this game invokes in me lack of care, to a steadily growing degree
not the right way for a game that wants to be a success

cause of death : lack of care

yep

i refrain for now to a simple life as a solitary man, just taking my time to enjoy the view in the wild while i am hunting for reeds to make baskets, or for rabbits
the only challenge i face for now are mostly snakes

i was once born into the village i started as Eve (that was before the apocalypse update), the "descendants" turned everything what i imagined & planned upside down & made it along their ideas, nothing of what i wanted was considered, so for me it was in no way a good experience, nobody even cared that i was once the Eve, they were all too busy setting up their usual monstroCity
so it might be a great experience only if your ideas are the same as those of your descendants

for me the existence as Eve was nothing but highly dissapointing so far

most of the kids die because they are not even able to keep themselves alive, or they get killed by some random player with nothing else to do, the descendants have their own ideas about the settlement & no regard for the ancestors whatsoever, my only mildly successful lineage was destroyed in the apocalypse update & in the end nothing remains because there are no family trees

but about the topic of the thread
i am happy that the coordinates were adjusted, makes a fairer game

edit :

now, that the birth coordinates are at 0,0, can we have a map of the discovered & known area ?
means, at birth the map is black, with every of my movements i leave a trace where i was & the map reveals at least the biomes
we finally wouldn't need anymore those wretched home markes which never work properly

the map's currently visible area shouldn't be big & moving outside the original one only if i exceed it

- - -

can you elaborate ?

what are the things you are disappointed with ?

lol

males could also as well make music or paint caves or do sculptures or do crazy inventions

same as women facing in OHOL often an abundance of babies which leads to famine & mass starvation could do dangerous stuff

one doesn't need to go all the very old & very traditional way, isn't it ?

i hope not every man playing OHOL is keen on hero death, same as not every woman playing OHOL wants to die making pies

some players understand that without that it has to be said
& some players need some gameplay content to make them understand how precious that little time is within a life
