If you are Eve and could get ONE item to start with what would it be?

So, you are going to spawn as eve and you will get ONE item to help you. What item do you pick?

Backpack is an obvious answer. But I think the correct one is something else. Can you guess what it is?

It can be any item...

Bellows?
A sword? (LOL)
A gold crown?

What do you request?

Axe is probably the most reasonable as it enables you to skip worrying about fire.

Backpack if you want to boost efficiency of gathering

And of course a ball of thread if you want to get clothes done early after the resource nerf.


fug it’s Tarr.

A horse and cart. Try and find a town, since I don't actually like playing eve like I'm supposed to

Diesel engine right next to natural spring.  Pump valves aren't difficult to make, even though I won't make it that far as an Eve probably.  Oil will take time for possible descendants, but still, I'll pick the engine.

Completed belltower might have been an idea before this update to attract people.  But, now with swords, those almost seem like a death knell.

Staring with an axe probably would be the best. All other items can be gotten fairly quickly but being able to cut down on kindling is the biggest boost to an eve. When i was starting new villages from end game towns it was always shovel/axe heads and a bowl so i could start planting before kids and then throw down a slow fire when babies start popping out.

Re: If you are Eve and could get ONE item to start with what would it be?

actually i had a life when aunt had a horse cart and we went to settle as they started to have kids
we found a reasonable swamp with a desert near, before temp update so it was medium, had one mosquito which i snow walled
we stored the horse in small ice biome and it helped a lot gathering iron
i went kinda far and never found any sign of a civ, but was nice to have a horse as an adam, as i did the most things alone to become a decent camp

Re: If you are Eve and could get ONE item to start with what would it be?

early horses seem to get lost all the time, if I plan on getting horses for a mid level camp that has food production going, I get anywhere from 2-4 just because I know they will get lost. Also in an eve camp early resources are really close, if a horse cart is a gift from god as an eve, you probably picked a pretty bad spot. I'd almost rather start with one single clay bowl so you can plant berries instantly upon settling, than a single horse cart that will be rode into the sunset by someone that doesn't know running over a snake will take it out.

Are you replying to my post? I think so. Did you even read my post? I specifically said in it 'Try and find a town'. future said any item, and he (she?) never said how I had to play Eve. If I'm spawning as Eve, damnit, I'm gonna fly towards the belltown or any other town, populated or not. I don't really like making camps, tbh

cart with tires.
carrying 6 baskets full of valuable items/food is great for an eve camp.

I thought a horsecart might work before, but I'm inclined to say that your suggestion of a cart with rubber tires works better, since picking babies up is more feasible.

A cart filled with items is more than one item, and if you ask for a car or a plane it would just have the one use of fuel since a tank of fuel would be an extra item.

If I could pick any item, it would be a baby carrying device. A shawl or a backpack with room for one baby.

I'm sure human civilization was built on the invention of freeing the mothers' hands so they could be more useful.

Even pro-humans had methods to free a mother's hands-- it's not just older than history it's older than homo sapiens sapiens
