Daycare center?

lionon · 2018-11-20 08:52:09

The other idea I had for villages and towns... as mum in my fertile ages I often rarely get to do anything but raise my children... give them a tour... only to later see them to have died soon after in the family tree (I am a bad mum?) Most times one of them gives a short second generation.

Wouldn't it be a better to have one single fertile female on a perfect warm place with food near it to take feed all the children? So as a (new) mum, when having a baby, you bring it to the daycare center and go off to do a useful job again.

Yeah, most places with experienced players do that already

If you haven't seen that happen already... try out Server 1. In my experience it has a majority of experienced players. The way Jason grew the server farm and player distribution weighting makes it this way. (at least as of today).

Or just ask someone to babysit, or offer to do it yourself for someone you see moving faster.

I tried server 1 but it was extremely lagy for me. So far as the lag literally kills.

Anyway thanks everybody for clearing this up.

In future if I'm a mother and now one else is a nurse yet, I'll simply offer my services...

In a large village, this is an efficient way to get things done; one mother can care for many kids (not all of them hers, necessarily) while the others are off accomplishing tasks. If there's 5 or more, tell them to ask for food at 3 bars, and tell them to step off the tile with the other kids when they need food (so you don't have to pick up multiples to get them).

In a small village, this isn't efficient. There generally won't be enough kids around to need a full-time babysitter, and your hands are needed for other tasks. Go do your work and check in on the kid every now and then. If you have a good temperature spot, they won't need feeding that often - about once a minute. I usually farm berries, for example, while waiting for my kids to get big enough to go out on their own; it keeps me in the area, shows them what to do (if they're paying attention and not afking), and it's necessary to keep the village alive.

As a general rule, if the child dies as a baby, i would tend to blame the mother (usually). If the child dies once he reached child, and there was enough food around, then i definitely blame the child. Unfortunately, a lot of players are so bad you would literally need to feed them berries their whole life to keep them alive.. and even then they would probably die to wild animals.

Even in small villages mothers will tend to congregate near the warm spots with several children. Use this as a chance to teach new players a few things:

a) Take turns babysitting so everyone can get some work done
b) Keep the kids on the warm spots so they don't need to be fed often
c) Don't overfeed children! Each time you pick one of them up costs you one food, and they don't need to be fed very often as long as they're on warm spots! Wait until they ask for food before feeding them.

give them a job and show it once, take a kid as a man and teach a bit
with no purpose people die early
