That is a good point, rattlesnakes should rattle!

I am not too upset about it, but it is definitely cheating to use voice chat. I am sure Jason doesn't care too much, because it is basically a harmless form of cheating. They are basically only cheating themselves by making the game way easier than it is meant to be. Which is probably why they got bored fairly quickly.

There is an entire game mechanic based around limiting speech, and having older characters communicating better than younger ones. There is no way an honest person can say that using voice chat doesn't violate the spirit of the game.

All the other stuff, playing with friends, killing people outside of your group, coming up with a plan prior to playing the game, all those are in a grey area and can reasonably be debated. Some will agree, some will disagree. However the chat system is a core mechanic. Clearly going around it is cheating and violates the spirit of the game. You are not going to get banned for it or anything, but if definitely cheapens the game and devalues the achievement.

I wonder how well this actually works. Theoretically the idea of splitting off and creating new cities and stuff is very good. However, since there is a limited number of people per server and you spawn to random females, aren't you kind of competing against your old town for babies? If you actually split into several towns, then some of them will definitely die do to population drop, and it isn't necessarily the one that is doing worse but whichever has less people.

It depends on how you look at it though. One unit of soil produces one unit of wheat, or 3 things of flours. One unit of soil gets you 7 carrot seeds, which produces 35 carrots. So while making a pie greatly expands the amount of food you get out of whatever you put into the pie, just growing 35 carrots still gives more food than growing one thing of wheat.

Though one pie takes up a lot less room than 35 carrots. Like I said though, it depends on how you look at it, since it isn't really an even comparison. Growing carrots does take more water, though pie requires cooking and stuff. Also if you add wild wheat and carrots, that changes things as well.

All that said though, there is a strong argument just to make all carrots, rather than growing wheat. Since even if you let carrots seed, you are still getting more food per soil used.

Well part of it is outside their control. Since they are slower, if you run straight then suddenly turn while off screen, there is a high chance they will lose you and it is entirely your fault, not theirs.

I prefer the pouches since hunting rabbits also gets you clothing, which you really want. Also rabbits can be roasted if you really need food. Plus it is usually faster to build a snare than to make bowls.

I have never really had any problems with raising a bunch of children. The children often die, but I never die. They ones that survive usually get stuff done as well. Having extra people around can definitely help a lot.

That is actually a very good idea.

We should be able to balance the basket on our head, while we carry the babies.

This really has a lot of useful tips, though sadly it will result in you leaving behind probably 4 or 5 dead children.

He hasn't made an update to spread the Eve's out from one another yet, that might happen next update but who knows.

I don't think the composting thing is that big of a deal. One spot of fertile soil gets you 5 soil, plus 3(or 4?) worms, and each worm lets you compost once, and compost gives 3 soil. Plus I just learned this but apparently you can use a shovel on an empty fertile soil location to get one last soil too. So that is 15(or 18) soil from a single fertile soil location. Fairly often you find clumps of them together too.

If you use the soil wisely it should last a few days. If you get horses to move faster and explore out further away from the city, you can probably double that time without much effort. With effort searching for soil you can probably quadruple the time you last. So if you are on horse and you are searching for all soil within 2 minutes of your village, I am fairly confident you can survive two weeks before you ran out of soil(assuming your not wasting it).

At the moment, a single family can't even survive a full day. So forgot about the numbers I am giving for max efficiency, even wasting a lot of the soil, you are probably fine if someone knows how to compost.

Well if you plant a new bush, the berries spawn right away. So while you will never see a domestic berry bush respawn if you pick it in your life time, you can very easily grow a new bush and eat from it.
