Fart emote with an "oops" expresion or "mischievous" expression? A small hint of odor coming out of the characters butt would make this totally cool.

Absolutely! It would be a great way to relieve some tension without having to be verbal. It would be amazing everyone would be pooting and tooting happily lmao. anyone caught within one tile of your butt should make the /ill expression even! lol

This is a really dumb idea. I can't believe people are actually asking for fart features.

Awesome update! Love the changes.

Can we make children auto-follow their mother upon birth if their mother is following nobody?

The slow motion lag needs to get fixed. Big towns are a lag fest.

Yes, you do get a new 'paper' that you can place on another fence. It's a bit unintuitive just looking at the recipes, but once you actually do it ingame and see it in action it's fairly simple to do it again. The one thing to keep in mind is that the elder has to be the second person to sign the paper.

It looks pretty annoying to do, considering you literally have 5 minutes left in your life.

So if a removal of property fence is posted, does it make all attached fences removable? Can someone describe the process?

What things can only elders do? I'm mainly wondering about fences.

If people need clothing, you can get two seal skins at a time by using a sharp stone on a flint rock and a maple branch, clubbing seals with the straight shaft and cutting the skin off with the flint. You wear one skin, you carry the other, you drop them both off at home, and go back out to get more.

Be careful searching the tundras for seals if you are naked, find the seals first while carrying a basket of food or only make short trips into the tundra.

After you get lots of seal pelts back home, bring home baskets of thread from the milkweed of nearby grasslands. Once you've exhausted the milkweed of a grassland and get back home, pick another direction and explore that way. Make your basket out in the field, bring the goods home, leave the basket, grab a piece of food if you need it, and head back out.

Repeat that for 30 years or so, getting skewers, rope, thread, soil and iron. Then, you can either begin farming milkweed, or working with the iron to make the tools needed to make a cart, if, someone hasn't already done it while you were out in the field.

And please, be careful out there, snakes, boars and wolves can easily catch you off guard, so, move cautiously, but quickly.

Don't be one of those people at home counting on others, be the one people are counting on.

What if your town is kinda advanced and all the milkweed in a .6 km radius around the town is already gone?

Just to add to what Morti said, it´s really easy to gear up while you are gathering outside. Reed skirt is amazing early on if you can find enough rope, sealskin is amazing even if not sewed and wheat hats are also amazing. When I get into early camps that have few things around (like one 3x3 berry farm and some carrots and fire) I just pick up a needle and move ouside town to gather rope and gear up. You don´t even need snares, you can make them on the way, hunt rabbits, make a backback and come back with the rabbits. Maybe just forget about the bp and go straight to hunt for iron if there is no iron in town. Farming is not always a priority.

Spending half of your life outside of town just sounds odd, especially how you probably need to start your own fires out of town to cook rabbit to get a needle to sew clothes.

As a child, farming can indeed be frustrating as you have little access to labor saving devices, or there are no clear roads connecting important locations.

As an adult, I find the addition of a cart to be a huge boon.  You can load up four filled berry bowls and take them to the carrot patch, mass insert carrot and grind them there, then take the finished bowls to the future compost location.  If the straw ain't there yet, take the cart and load up all four sheaves and bring them back to the bowls.  Sadly, shoveling shit is just that.

The cart is also nice for those times where you just have to get four baskets and go out of town for soil or a couple buckets and a bowl and drain some ponds.

What if your town has no carts and no milkweed?

I try to be a farmer for towns mainly focusing on compost but it's just too annoying hauling everything around. There's never enough soil and never enough water. Ontop of that, it's almost impossible to have a milkweed farm. If you don't have a backpack, good luck even trying to get anything done as you need so many items on hand like a bowl and a sharpstone.
Anyone else think farming needs to be overhauled?

Can we have a second system to cursing where we can banish people from spawning in the family for a very long time?
What banish could do:
- You can only banish people under same family tree
- Banished players don't spawn in the family tree for a looooong time
- It is easier to banish players than curse them
- Maybe have banished players unable to interact with objects near family?
- Have them drop stuff?

How to banish them? Maybe vote a leader for the tribe that has the banish ability? Or have it the same as curse but require far less votes than curse?
So far I see players never cursing because they're new or don't know what's going on. We need a way for trusted people to punish griefers and such. So maybe have it so the leader of the family can banish. That's as far as I thought it out. Of course cursing should still remain in as the super serious punishment for griefers.

I just realized that notes can't be fully read if you're not old enough to say long enough things. This also needs to be fixed since it's pointless for old people for passing on knowledge if people can't read the full message.

My story from playing yesterday:
I have seen many civs get destroyed due to the majority of players being completely new or being a general beginner. For instance they would waste all the soil on berries and munch 5 berry bushes in one go as a teen & adult. This leads to huge problems like lack of soil for wheat and also carrots. I had a game yesterday where all the wheat was cut down so no seeds could be produced and all wheat and compost was used up, there were no more carrots left over, the shovel was missing/destroyed, and only left over grain and berries were there to sustain the civ. The players kept eating berries and wasting soil on berry bushes where there were like 60 bushes. I desperately tried bringing soil for wheat but they kept taking it to berry bushes NONSTOP. Also the shovel was missing or broken and the civ had no iron or steel to make another shovel. So to fix the civ I solo farmed carrots by grabbing soil from afar to a discrete place and then tamed a horse where we had a wagon and carrots seeds thankfully, then got more soil and grabbed wheat seeds from afar and solo farmed wheat in a discrete place, then went all over looking for iron to make a shovel. It took my entire life to fix this civ but I managed to get the wheat and carrots restarted and obtain least one iron ore for a shovel.

The main message:
The point of this story is that we desperately need a way to tell players not what to do so civs don't get destroyed due to unintentional griefing. So I beg of the dev to add bulletin boards AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. A way to pin papers to signs so we can write general rules/laws such as: "Farm wheat first, carrots second, then berries" and "ONLY EAT BERRIES IF CHILD OR ELDER, else eat pie". This would immensely help civs so much. Letters are too much work to make and notes could be misplaced or just not read from being on the ground. Which is why bulletin boards are needed, it makes it noticeable and desirable to read since it looks important. It's also impossible for me to teach and lead players in the civ if I have to do all the jobs such as smithing + farming + composting + baking, where I also don't have time to moderate what players are doing since the civ is about to collapse without me.

Please dev, add bulletin boards ASAP.

Edit: I just realized that notes can't be fully read if you're not old enough to say long enough things. This also needs to be fixed since it's pointless for old people for passing on notes if people can't read the full message due to character limit when talking due to your age.
