Would rate the update -1/10.

Maps are probably okay but it is straight up frustrating to constantly have to walk back between rabbit holes because you cannot carry both bait and a snare until you have a backpack. This means you need to make 10 treks back and forth between the same holes just to collect up the rabbits. After about six rabbits I said fuck it and just used a basket since for the most part early game I didn't really need the backpack.

Feels retarded frankly that you need a cart to effectively catch rabbits in the game since you cannot hold everything you need to catch rabbits in the first place. Add in the fact if you were carting rabbits back to town you'd need a rubber wheeled cart to dress a single person.

Update both didn't hit the mark (just made rabbits more annoying without messing with the massive amount of free food they give) while also making the game worse. Another update where people (rightfully) question whether you know how your own game works.

It's either/or. You can use a burdock to catch a rabbit or you can mash a bowl of berries with a carrot and use that as bait. It's both thematically dumb while also being incredibly tedious for the sake of being tedious.

Just doing a carrot makes so much more sense as you can fit a bowl, snare, and sharp rock into a basket. You then use the naturally spawning carrots in the savannah as your start up bait while later taking the carrot seeds back to replant for more rabbit bait. For the berry bowl method you literally have to walk out to the middle of the savannah and drop off your snare, then return with a single bowl up until you have a cart in which case you can catch a whopping four rabbits at a time then proceed to bait + snare.

This is just Jason being goofy again. Baiting a rabbit snare isn't the problem with his solution, it's the ridiculous cost and the tedium related to having to walk back and forth to your rabbit hole twice just to catch a single rabbit.

Makes sense considering how many snares you find on the map due to people always making more and more. If not just breaking it'd be nice to remove the rope from the stakes considering eventually you'd have a bunch of useless traps since rabbits become so scarce on the map that 30 snares just aren't doing anything anymore.

No, I'm pretty sure homepage is bugging out. Current arc was going still from the looks of things as I couldn't spawn as Eve and there were only four (advanced) families on the server. Stuff is still probably all sorts of fucked from the player made apocalypse.

Another update based on removing a fun activity in hopes of balancing things without adding anything interesting. The problem with rabbits is you need 12.5 rabbits to fully dress one person which means if you are mass producing clothes you're getting a free 12.5 raw rabbits (13 if rounded up) every time you dress someone and these meats last forever. This means you are producing 130 pips worth of food just to dress someone if plain cooking them or 728 pips worth of food if you are baking them all into regular rabbit pies. Considering you are making someone clothes this is more food than they need during their ENTIRE LIFETIME which is where the biggest problem of rabbits come from. Add in like I said these rabbits sit around indefinitely someone making people clothing is producing lifetimes amount of food for 1-2+ citizens just by going out of their way to reduce the food need of the town.

Jason should be targeting all the "free" food sources instead of just focusing on stuff like rabbits: Make mutton and raw rabbit decay, wild gooseberries shouldn't regrow berries if all picked, geese should eventually stop laying eggs, and cactus fruit should eventually stop spawning. All he is doing by nerfing rabbits is changing how people dress early game which most people don't care about anyways. Before sheep everyone should have mouflon hides (10 hr decay time) and reed skirts (lasts indefinitely) then once you get tools/sheep you move to making straw hats (again indefinitely) and now that rabbit shoes are off the table wooden clogs are the shoes of choice. While its interesting to shake things up his scope should be on all the free foods and not just rabbits as hunting rabbits is an enjoyable activity that is being gutted for "muh difficulty."

I really dislike the idea of having to do random busy work grinding to be able to function in a village. I think his idea of boons were a much better idea rather than all this skill nonsense people are bringing up.

Instead let an Eve or family/town pick some sort of item that gives the area/lineage some sort of bonus so each family is slightly different. Maybe one family has clothing crafts that last double the length of time (even if you can get too many rabbits imo) or maybe you have one that is better at recycling and produces extra steel during the smithing process, or perhaps one group are better with technology so their newcomens are less likely to break down. Towards the end of the arc you're only going to have 4 or so families so you don't need too many unique buff ideas.

Make the families unique instead of adding a goofy ass skill system.

It's 100% the posse bug, we've known about it since it was released. Until the recent posse changes it wasn't ever realistic to get the permanent speed boost but now it's rather simple.

All you need to do is have someone trigger kill command and either others do the same or hold an item and state "I join you" less than 8 tiles away from growly boy. Once you drop the kill command everyone who participated gets a speed boost ranging from 1-2x extra speed.

Who cares whether or not names are gender specific. Sure it's slightly annoying to get a derp name but it never ruined any part of the game. "Omg what am I going to do when I'm named babygirl while male????"

/die

Names don't really matter but enforcing gender appropriate names seems silly. It's still wrong to basically play male in the current game lol.

The only time things were being constantly lost in 24 hours was when you introduced the eight hour cull time instead of the weekly cull. This is what made things feel constantly meaningless as we had towns that could last upwards of a month of play with the old culling system. Sure. you still lost smaller towns at a quicker rate but you could have your lives actually cycle between early game (since there was almost always an early own or two) followed by a mid game level town, and then sometimes either someone would accidentally find a mega town or would spawn there on server reset.

When you lowered the timing we stopped having any sort of San Cals, Goose towns, or Casino towns what so ever. Did people play in these exact places 24/7? No, and that's why they're tolerable long term vs what we have right now. You might be in Goose Town for a day before trolls or bad rng killed it off then in a few days or upwards to a week someone would find it again and restart the rebuilding process. You can have meaningful building and resting without the balance being all funky. We traded history and interesting things for a system that left a bunch of random ass walls and flooring on the map.

The problem isn't "Can we have late and early game coexist in game at the same time" but more so how do we allow early game to exist without spreading the families so thin. The biggest issue with early game is the amount of Eves that pop up (hence why a closed eve window can be good) which spreads the players too thin.

Overall, I'm not sure why you keep trying to push we have more permanence now when classically places lasted longer. We traded sporadically living in the same place over a long period of time for constantly living in the same place for a much shorter length of time.

Better to weaken the curses based off how many curses you personally have vs how many people you've cursed. I've personally got a score around three or four due to cursing trolls (and only trolls) which is mostly to blame due to being able to zoom out and see who is cursing who. That feature obviously is getting fixed with the next update so that's not really something to worry about anymore.

I mean to be fair we already had Assmann (just an extra n). I don't really see the problem with more names as it just adds more meme names we can get away with.

I wouldn't worry about the absurdity of names when stuff like My Balls is already a valid in game name.

My Balls, Blue Balls, tons of silly names can already be made.
