Small changes are boring. I believe the game to be more exciting this way.

@Bob 101

That actually sounds pretty fun. Like a competitive take on OHOL. Maybe a competitive mode with that finite map Jason was considering a while back. Would be interested to see where that idea would go.

I find myself agreeing with Spoonwood. I get that people like them because they find them aesthetically pleasing, but I personally find it annoying and wasteful. However, I reconcile myself with the fact that when it's all said and done, it's just a quick and easy source of boards >:]

Fine, even MORE needlessly snobby and picky! XD

And I can definitely empathize with that, but I don't think this would be the way to go about it.

I find competitions like these often detract from the experience, prone to having people tunneling and burning out.

Also, why in the world would longest line be a contest? You have no control over your lineage other than where you settle down. Even the perfect place can be ruined by any combination of birthing RNG, "/die"ers, or destruction by either noobs or griefers. After you find a suitable location, the rest is up to luck.

If there were a contest, I'd prefer it'd be something in which the contestant is actually an active participant; rather than something were you roll the dice, then just watch and hope for the best. Skill over luck.

@spoonwood

Well then it's a good thing I asked first before presuming. It seemed like it might've been a case of trying to sneakily justify your actions.

Are you really about to make an argument of water and charcoal investment? I guess if you're having a water shortage, sure. But then I wouldn't be making the damn car in the first place.

Also, what kind of bad luck are you having that you need to fire the damn thing a dozen times? I very rarely have to do it more than 3. Although, I guess I get that. I'm the same way with fishing. I get enough boots to provide the whole village with them lol.

I guess I'm looking at it from a perspective of what situation I'm in when I decide to build a car. I don't just build a car when there's only 18 iron. There needs to be at least 40. If there's not, then I don't bother building one. But I can see the argument you're making. I just assume that we already have oil. If not, then I'll make it then. But I can see how this thinking would be flawed. I suppose it wouldn't hurt to confirm oil going forward.

I'm sorry that you have a hard time with oil, but while I might be slightly exaggerating when I say "effortless", it certainly isn't hard. It's borderline easy for me. But then again, I've never had to fire a rig a dozen times, so eh?

Back to the story of what happened to me, I had set already aside everything for the oil. Some guy said he was going to take the pipes, go find oil, and set it up himself. So I left it at that.

Huh, I don't really know the details of the temperature change. That was during my extended hiatus. Nothing seems much different though, except you can't exploit temperature perfect tiles anymore. You also can't sit on a large slow fire and sit there for 20 minutes before needing to eat lol.

I usually don't make cars because there's usually not enough iron (or not enough to make one with enough left over for city tools). And when there is, it's either people complaining about me using the iron and trying to stop me, 14 other people crowding the forge attempting (and mostly failing) to do it themselves, or I'm being nagged for a diesel water pump or various other tools. Usually too annoying to even bother with.

@Baker

I was gone at the time, but apparently she had given birth to twins that were talking about slaves and stuff. She made it seem like they were being obnoxious, so she killed them. That was just her story, but she hadn't given me a reason to doubt her.

Hiya momma!

Yeah. She went to the sheep pen with a bow and when I stopped to tell her not to shoot the mouflon, I got an arrow in the chest lol. The village did welcome me back, although I still stayed a bit of an outsider. They all cursed nana for shooting me. Seemed silly to shoot me, I was already on my way out. At least I got to make you a nice grave.

Funnily enough, I got born back into the archer family about 50 minutes later....so I think the lineage ban might be broken right now lol. Unfortunately it was being killed by griefers at the time and I got stabbed while I was tabbed out.

I'd be fine with nerfing the pond spawn a bit, but giving it more water uses.

LMAO! I can't believe that had completely slipped my mind. That's exactly why pouches fell from grace. That, combined with the bucket. I kind of want to still make them work, but it would be pointless. In fact, it may even be a detriment, just adding in more clutter. I guess they will remain a distant memory.

I find that's kind of how most things work in this game. It probably has something to do with the code, but stuff pretty much always spawns in groups. Makes it kind of odd when you can have something like 20 of the bastards in a 40 x 40 block, with 6 of them being in the same 8x8. This, combined with the fact that you can probably fully survive off of just 3 ponds means that this can get pretty silly, and sometimes down right annoying.

I agree that this is something that should probably be looked at.
