Let us know if there is anything we can do to help get it back.
I think if we were able to repair things that decay, people wouldn't mind the decay. Carts could need new wheels or additional boards and rope over time. It would slow cart production because parts would need to be reserved for repairs, but still allow for multigenerational use.
The same could be done for baskets if you add an additional bundle of reeds to an empty decaying basket you get a basket. Prior to recent times, things were mended, and maintained, clothes were darned and multigenerational use was a common thing. It takes effort and awareness of your items state, but I would feel better about a destroyed cart if I knew that I was at fault for not maintaining it.
Go to the directory the client is in, and open the settings folder. Open forceBigPointer.ini and change it from 0 to 1 then save.
I updated around 9:30 pm EST last night. Not sure exactly what time he turned it off.
My custom server wasn't wiped by the apocolypse......
Mother, you were the last woman in our village of three. My brother stayed behind and farmed, you were baking pies, and I set off with a cart to bring back a girl. I traveled many miles and saw incredible things, but I did not see another human for years. I was eaten by a bear.
Son, you were greatly missed. I so loved making pies for you and your brother. You were a good boy. Your brother was still farming when I passed. I gave him the pie recipe. I know you did your best.

I've been working on a spreadsheet. It's not finished or edited, and not in any particular order. The Formatting doesn't carry over with the c&p. I'd love suggestions.
**It is assumed that any Head Position will do the entire job should their not be enough people in the village. Apprentices/Assistance should move up to the head position when the Head becomes to old for the position if it involves leaving camp/food or when the Head dies if it does not. New children should not be assigned jobs that send them out into the wilderness.

Did your Mom send you off? And tell you to take Pie with you while you went to search for a wife to bring home to the farm?
I was born an Eve in the middle of the wilderness. I immediately had a baby. I did the best I could. I held him constantly, letting him go only to feed myself. Before I could find another village, I had a second child, another boy. I reached to pick him up, but he ran from my grasp into the woods. I was distraught, but I had my son to think about. I scooped him up and headed north. He grew hair and ran ahead. I lost him, my firstborn. On my own, I found a village, It was deserted, but there were carts full of food, and every tool I could imagine. I picked all the ripe carrots, and in the process, I had another child. It was another boy. I looked and found some water, and watered some carrots. I had to stick close to camp for the baby. I had a fourth child. A girl. She had beautiful dark hair and caramel skin. I knew she was the future of our clan. I left her farming to go for water to the north. I had another son while I was away, and when I brought him back to show my older children, my daughter was gone.
I had two more children, both boys. My boys worked hard on the farm. They brought me wood and wheat. They ran far for water, our well was dry. While I was nursing my last son, my milk dried up. He told me he was hungry, that my milk was dry. I quickly grabbed a carrot and fed him. He smiled, I think he really liked the taste. I fed him from my hands until he was grown. While my boys did the manual labor, I worked in the kitchen. I made pies for everyone, my special recipe.
When I was in my late 40's, my son came to me. He was afraid for the farm, I told him to take a cart, and pie and find a wife. I asked him to bring her back to the family farm. I knew in my heart that I would not be there when he got back. He left with his brother. I never saw them again. I had only one son left on the farm. He did his best to take care of me. I gave him my clothes and stood by the fire knowing my time was short. I told him to take care of the village, and to remember the pie recipe. My last hope was that my sons would find wives and another generation of children would live on the farm. It wasn't long after that, I died. As I floated in the blackness, I wasn't worried, I knew my sons were good men.
Can I get the system requirements for a linux server?
Thanks
I was born an Eve, and a child immediately spawned. Knowing I had no food, no clothes, and no idea where to find them, I left that baby behind. I was crushed by sorrow at having to abandon my first born to the elements as I ran east. I found a small farm, full of carrots and was able to cloth myself by looting a corpse, but there was no water. The ponds were low and some were dry. I took a basket, a bowl, and a sharp stone ate one carrot to fill my belly and moved on.
I came to another camp, fields of carrots, plenty of supplies, but again no water. This time, I had a daughter born at the farm. She was a joy! I did the best I could for the farm, hoping the water would replenish for the next generation. I ate the carrots until my daughter was old enough to feed herself. We reseeded the farm and left it with dry carrot fields and a basket of seeds. Then we headed east. I had her take a basket of carrots, for she could not go as long without food as I could. We traveled east for several miles when a bear appeared. I ran east, and the bear followed for a while. I hope my daughter escaped and found a new tribe to live in.
Alone again, and grieving for the daughter I had raised, I ran east. every few miles, there was a bear, sometimes two. I ran for a long time, dodging bear after bear, and several wolves. Once I heard crying in the distance. Eventually, I found another abandoned farm. It was widespread and full of many advanced tools I did not know how to make or use. The water was sparse, but there were enough carrots to feed me while I waited. I kept looking over my shoulder for a bear while I made a home here in the east.
I had one last child, but he did not survive. I am not sure what happened, but I was stuck for a moment, as if in a dream moving to pick him up, but unable to do so. Back and forth trying to feed my child, and not being able to lift him. By the time I came out of this dream state, he was gone. I suspect the berries nearby were hallucinogenic.
I lived the rest of my life farming carrots, stockpiling seeds for the next generation. I tried my hand at planting some milk seed as well. I made baskets and gathered supplies from the area. I died at the age of 60. I hope someone finds my camp and my grave. I died with a backpack full of carrots, and a full suit of clothes. The camp is planted full of carrots, about half of them watered, and a few milkweed plants. There are two carts full of supplies nearby.
Find the farm in the north, east, past the bears. It is in a tri-land type area, water, grass and wheat. Live well, and leave the world a better place for your descendents. I have tried.
It could literally save your life. In villages where everything is strewn over the ground, everyone spends half their precious time running around looking for the thing they need. This gets exacerbated because someone will be looking for e.g. a flint chip, not find it, and go get another one, adding to the clutter. The fifth tenet is A TOOL, LIKE A CHILD, NEEDS A HOME.
Make lots of baskets! They are easy to make and renewable. Nothing should just be on the ground without a basket unless you're actively working with it (a rabbit you're about to skin, for example).
Put your farm in a big empty space!
Put tools all together! Put food together! And bring stuff back when you're done with it.
I agree and disagree. I was going to post today on how clutter kills as well. However, I think there should be organized areas.
Farming implements and tools should be organized to one side of Farms. (God I love Baskets!)
Fire Making tools and supplies should be near the kiln, and you should have two fires if you are a hunting tribe. One for babies, one for cooking.
Hunting implements and tools for skinning should be on the side of the village nearest the hunting supplies. Preferably the fire area right next door.
Most important, food baskets should all be together, with empty space around them! How many times have you died because you picked up a flint instead of food???
I think overfeeding babies is a big sustainability issue. Mom's are having difficulty keeping themselves fed. If you instruct the babies to type F when they are down to 2 bars. This gives Mom more time to feed herself/do tasks.
And I have not seen people murder others yet (it just take a bow and arrow but it may be not widely known yet). I expect interesting dynamics when this happens. I am pondering making an authoritarian settlement by gaining a bow, a backpack of arrows and forbidding milkweed planting. I am sure I could do awesome things with slave labor!
I've been killed as a baby by my mother twice. Once with a knife, and once with a bow and arrow. Most mothers who can't handle another baby are just walking away, but the murder was pretty disturbing.
I'm having a lot of trouble with movement. One of the big issues is that I lose my cursor. I tried to make it bigger, but the game has a very small default cursor. I would love it if the cursor did something to become visible when in use.
Also, I find I often overshoot my destination, or move when I try to click on an item. There is a game I play where movement is activated by moving the cursor to the edge of the screen. Is this possible??
