also instead of gated sheep in a sheep pen one could make a gated carrot farm & let the sheep roam free

but only if the sheep are not gated, which in itself could result in some sort of griefing

but in general
this change could make villages more realistic, where everybody could gate an own small property
maybe something more community related could develop,
no idea

i am really curious how that feature develops
though i am fairly pessimistic about human nature, so about players as well

- - -

backpack
loin cloth
sharp stone
pie (mutton, rabbit, rabbit/carrot)

if backpack is not possible, then
basket
needle
snare
if there is sheep
thread
to make my own backpack

then depending on the work i want to do
bowl
round stone
stakes
rope
snare
knife

i personally don't care AT ALL for family ties in this game
there are none since we have NO CONTROL over who is being born to us
we have not even control over WHEN kids are being born, that yum magic is a nuissance not help
i have no time spending a hunt over some food, sorry

so ok, functionality playthrough

the person who gets the sheep first is the owner of the gate
they can add descendants to manage the sheep, same as one can give knife to a responsible person

they better convert that wobbly pen soon to a wooden fence
since it will collapse releasing all sheeps if there is nobody who cares to add owners of the gate
therefore they will need lots of maple tree branches

also
one can probably build some strange corner entrance so the fence doesn't need a gate & therefore doesn't need ownership
or one adds a propper wooden gate, but then an adze is needed

or is it planned that every gate & door has a list of ownership ?

bonus
potentially one could expell griefers from town with this method

i hope you thought at least to curse her, that's the only way to really punish in this game, if you have no weapons to kill
what you could have done maybe was to make bow & arrow after you realise what trouble she set out to be
& then kill her after the third girl was there

& yeah,
the player behind Rya probably thought to have hit a jackpot with your Eve endevour
but rejoyce, you were at least not killed by her, cause that can also happen

i really wish an Eve would have an Eve's power, would be in a stronger position than just to be another fertile female
to found a place & a family is hard, thus extremely vulnerable to any griefer

i also find the males, who suicide because there is no girl as horrible as griefers
thus i suggested now numerous times the cabbage babies for males,
such an option would have given your family a chance since you even already had a helpful son

porcelain yes, but plz only sheep bones

that's why we need some features or options so that the players participating become important, that it is not a single player game but a player is in some way dependend on the wellbeing of others
but not directly dependend on their survival, not that their work is needed but with a feature where the good life the others have reflects on my own life,
so, if others live a miserable life, my own life is not as good as it could be

atm, i could live alone a comfy long life,
but to what end, it's boring as heck, i've done it already, so why ?
for me personally it's way more rewarding to help others, but that's my personal reward & is not included in any way in the gameplay itself
& imo that should change

the most strong point of OHOL is its multiplayer aspect
& the combination of that multiplayer not only, not even mainly, for the purpose of killing each other & conflict

OHOL has the potential of actual cooperation as gameplay, so far this is not gameplay content, it is not encouraged within the game,
cooperation depends solely on the good will of the player & it is not rewarded as gameplay content if you do so, same as your gameplay content is not touched in a negative way if you grief the heck of the town you're in, the family you belong to, your parents, your siblings, your kids
that's why it is way more attractive to grief than to be cosntructive if you're bored with the gameplay, it has no direct negative outcomes, the addition of curses has improved the situation but griefing has no direct negative effects on the griefer themselves & that's already an incentive to grief

there also is included why i find being a female in OHOL as extremely unsatisfactory
a player is in no way rewared if enduring as a female character constant baby interruptions
the other players don't value really females in their midst as much they had to io to reward the female sacrifice of that player's time & work
IRL you get the reward of being unconditionally loved by your kids, that's already often reward enough
but one cannot simulate such a love in a game,
in a game there needs to be a clearly perceptible difference to every player, if the others are doing good or doing poorly in their lives

yeah that's the crux with constant updates changing basics
though maybe Jason could make the old files readable again

i would like to have a gallery of memorable lives
maybe something relative, like one memorable life token per 20 lived or so
not just a fixed number

maybe where i could add a screenshot as well

i think, a feature like this would make players in general care more for the lives lived

- - -

griefing is easy
the cluttered mess of every town is everywhere already without outright griefers & is in itself already causing grief
cause Jason, not including stackability on a regular basis with every new object he introduces is the griefer par excellence
i see disturbing the flow of work as a natural adverse force, nothing more,
it could be a volcano, a flood, a drought or it could be a griefer, for me it's the same
that's why i don't care for griefers much, they don't really matter imo

as i already wrote repeadedly,
stackability of all stuff is the basis to get a huge part of griefing out of the game already
for practical & for psychological reasons

the only thing i care about regarding griefers are killers
murder is what concerns me because it gives another player the power over my gameplay
since i see the multiplayer feature as one of the most important parts of OHOL, so is running away & playing myself not any valuable option,
in hopeless cases i prefer just to suicide

- - -

if it's only a token next to name, then those people will be probably the first targetted by killers, next to fertile females & girls

but in general i agree
don't have a much better suggestion
& i would love finally to get rewarded with something for what i am doing in game

that combined with a blessing system & the gameplay for working players will improve significantly

also probably finally there would be the end to the question "are you new ?", can't stand it anymore

family relation is in OHOL even less worth than IRL

your kid or your mother could be your killer or griefer

in OHOL being someone's kid or mother doesn't mean a thing
every other relation is a title, has no value of any kind !!!
there is no emotional attachement involved, especially agreviated by the one hour limitation
IRL you get years, decades to get attached
IRL a new baby is good by heart spending already nine months in mothers belly, thus feels gratefully attached,
in OHOL a baby might be just an experienced & skilled griefer & killer
i've been killed by my own son already, i reared griefers & insulting jerks

- - -

i don't even care for the "long lines"
so what is the point of those "deep roots" again ?
can someone plz explain it to me ?

where is the feature of "memorable lives" ?
that's what would be interesting to me
cause those lives where i cherish them are not mentioned, are just lost, gone
instead i get NUMBERS
