You should go to custom server, like chill server

After watching on youtube and buying the game I started there too. Official servers were too hard at beginning. After some time there it gets too slow actually and you will come to the REAL game 

Kubassa, look up custom servers. You can go play there for now, it's slower and no struggle. Better than keep saying the same stuff for the tenth time.

Slowly I am adapting to new update. Baskets not a problem, don't make many, only for essential. Tools are gold. If soil runs out in your vicinity and there are no compost ready it's almost impossible to recover the village (need more than one life time I believe). So bell cities after dieing and being rediscovered are not sustainable. 

For me, problem now is not difficulty, but players. Only so few knows advanced stuff like compost or smithing. You can be productive yourself, but those who comes after you, will  always overpopulate. Famine and everyone dies.

I am slowly edging to the point if there is baby boom and some bow or knife close by.... should i kill...noo...but maybe?

Casual player.

Edit, fixing mistakes and stuff.

Decay is good. The rate and balance of decay is not (feels unfinished in my opinion)
What was limited before now is even more limited (resources like metals).
Broken things stay broken forever laying somewhere (no disposal implemented).

If Jasons is working on these issues, then everything gonna be okay at some time. And some stoned cities will rise.

If not, last changes will make game harder to pick up and learn for new players, that leads to bad marketing, less revenue...bad business strategy.

If in beginning I was hyped about Jason as game developer, now when I am getting better feel of him I BELIEVE (just my opinion) that dis balancing or  braking the game will be recurrent event at the expense of the players. After all, he did stated quit clearly, HE WILL TRY GAME BREAKING THINGS...

It's really weird why some players hate males so much. Theres no point if they cant make babies? Thats it? or maybe it' s some weird conviction or trolling.

In my opinion, even a casual male is very useful, they can be really productive and are the best population control in village or city. You have 2-3 females, and other are men. You need to limit females. In this way you can protect from baby boom, which in so many cases works like plaque and destroys cities.

If i am in Eve stage, while setting up. I speak to them, I ask them are they new/casual/genius, and ask them if they can forage and trap rabbits. They are great for expeditions. Sometimes they die in the wild, sometimes they bring many needed rabbits and carrot seed.

In small village, or city. (before update, didn't find city after that) I myself enjoy being a male. You farm in early life, and after you look whats its needed. There's no rabbits for pies, you grab a cart and go for them, Bring couple  full carts of home. Theres no plates, baskets, wood and other stuff, you can go and quickly bring it back with no interruption of babies. If everything goes right in 2/3 of your life you supply people with clothes and stuff for pie making. After that you just find replacement trapper lets say, and go do what you like. Like setting up another milkweed field, making soil or just something you like and is productive, or just go after some City guard duty when needet.

But thats just my point of view. Some people like keeping only girls and in some time baby boom happens. I go out for some time when there are 5-7 carts of carrots, some pies, working farm and comeback to 6-8 children running around and few baskets of carrots ...

Well...somehow from trying to write something constructive  I went for a little rant. Just personal experiences from the game(mostly before last update).

Disconnected two times already for no particular reason. Once at 13 and other at 40+ years old.

Hi guys, first time around.
Just wanted to pop in here and ask someone to tell the story of the Great Necropolis. I believe some grief'er will come eventually to boast about, but would really like some great story telling from inside the walls.

Just to summarize, There is... was a great city, that was utterly destroyed by a few people. City itself was biggest I ever saw, huge berry and  carrot farms. Great storage and and sheep den and best of all...Walls, that surrounded everything.  My mom was one of first to discover Necropolis, so life was slow, but soon some outsiders came, a lot of women and baby boom began. In the hight, population reached maybe even 15-20 people, with everyone almost fully clothed. City was that huge and had a big storage of pies. People began to farm carrots, eat berries...
And then It began. First someone lured a bear in a city. Me and my brother made quick work of this threat and it took only one life. I thought that was it. After that, a few of us that was aware of the bear, went doing our business...Trying to organize city life.... in Meantime all the bows have disappeared inside the walls.
All the water for farms came from wells or some ponds outside of city walls... Walls surrounded us, and there was only one exit, one title wide. That exit was blocked (build a wall in the gap) and 15+ people were trapped inside. Not knowingly, people dried up all the wells and people with awareness got wind of this. We came to the north walls (Where the exit was) to check on it, when couple of people started raining arrows from beyond the walls. Hard to say, but maybe 7 or more people were sniped by these killers beyond city wall. Maybe even more, because there were people outside, that we couldn't see.
Water being gone, famine kicked in. Carrots were consumed first. Then time came for  huge plantation of berries (when i say huge, I mean huge 100-150 bushes), with berries gone, bushes dried up and died. Last 6-8 was holding on with pies. Trying to find a way how to brake out and stay away from walls because of killers patrolling along the walls. People were able to build a new well, we had a pickax... But hope was short lived. Some young man took pouch of water and kept slapping the wall with it while people shouted to stop, until the shallow well dried up. Shortly after young boy came with a well kit for deeper well...
Last part was just scrambling all the food we could, us  last 4 people. Starving the babies, running around the walls and asking occasional friendly people that was passing by (somehow with knives and not knowing the game that much) to help but it was futile. Last years I spent with my uncle, eating re spawning occasional berry. Props to uncle  coming with the idea killing all the sheep that was grown and cook it. It was great, for firewood we shopped Berry bushes.  Could have lived until our days end, but unfortunately died of accidental starvation at 43 years (just cooked the meat)...

City was littered with dead bodies, still with clothes close by them...
Great Mega-polis  that it was, it was struck down by people, becoming first a jail and then just place for dead to rest.
The Great Necropolis.

Somehow short text become long. Hope its bearable and readable.
