Each bowl of soil costs aproximately 0.00569 kero doses. Each bowl of water costs exactly 0.025 kero when pumped from the well.

Profit starts at 3 long. It needs to be longer than that though in order to pay itself off though. At lengths of 10 it'll take about 75 runs to pay itself off. At lengths of 22 it'll take about 50 runs. Water is cheap, steel is expensive.

This would be impossible to quantify, unless we get some very detailed server side stats and take the average. I'd expect about 10% loss. Negligible really.

Something like 28. Basically don't make them unless you've got a spare engine looted from another town or your town has 3+ uncollapsed mines. Overabundance of iron means you can turn iron into water, which is what the sprinkler does.

Probably one lifetime. Someone would need to dedicate their life to it, and likely restructure an existing or developing farm. That means a lot of adze uses tearing up paths, a lot of digging up and moving crops, a lot of explaining to angry noobs that you're not a griefer.

Trucks are pure labor multipliers, so it's impossible to quantify. Plows and sprinklers are also labor multipliers, but they also directly consume and produce resources, so it's easier to quantify.

Plow operational costs technically break even much earlier than 20, but you need to do longer runs if you want it to pay itself off, as the cost of all the steel that goes into the plow is expensive. How quickly plows pay themselves off has less to do with the length of runs, and more to do with the population size, unintuitively.

New analysis for the week of 13-7-21 to 19-7-21

124 legitimate eves over 4580 meters. 654 meters per day west.

Each eve spawn is now pushing the average west by only 37 meters each, even with roughly similar numbers of eves spawning from before the rework.

There does still seem to be a few gaps, but merging them to see where they fill in doesn't entirely help. I think the jungle family only had like 10 eves spawn. Why is there almost a 500 meter jump from 37530 to 37997 ?

Overall the breakneck westward march has slowed down significantly. Villages should be more grouped together compared to the before times, and hopefully if there's an influx of noobs they won't leapfrog over each other into the stratosphere. There might be an oil crunch though if it slows down too much.

It's not a sim game, it's an mmo. Nobody's going to see or be able to appreciate complex global scale map mechanics.

A large rift that moves slowly might work. Like playing on a treadmill but the belt is infinitely long, and we just get a little section at a time. Meandering borders so it's not predictable, and the faster resources run out the bigger and faster the border is.

I think it's okay for eves to spawn a little east, so long as those are outliers and the main set keeps going west on average.

I think it's OK to not have a server list only so long as the game is updated and taken care of by the dev. If jason wants out then any remaining feature development should shift focus to cater to the power users and other developers that want to use the game more as a platform for community experiences. It's okay for single player games to have a set ending, but for multiplayer games this is a sure way to kill the game.

An alternative would be to make the entire upper portion of the map arctic. So the band starts at the edge of the mountain band and just goes north, west and east endlessly. Might be interesting for one fam to break the horizontal rule and occasionally be isolated in the far north, depending on that family's needs and choices.

Oil in the desert would be welcome.

yeah get a truck or horse and go out scooping eastern ponds. No eve will spawn there and nobody else is going to use them.

There's nothing wrong with 7x7. It's plenty of space to work. The heat it provides is plenty to keep you between 40-55% temp as long as you're inside. There's hardly any food decriment difference between values in that range. It provides storage and a cohesive and generationally durable organizational structure to the village.

Very nice
