Fun things to do in game that doesn’t involve greifing

I was gonna delete this because it’s a badly worded mess I made in class but Morti did a good job in the comments so just look at that instead.

Number 6!
Convince someone to go on an adventure with you. Try and become wandering wolf hunters or traveling traders.

Number 7!
Attempt to make ART. (not sure how lol, but it could be fun trying to make towns more pretty)

I tried to make friends with all my relatives last night.  There was a looot of them though.  I was born into a good community.

Re: Fun things to do in game that doesn’t involve greifing

Organize the town as best you can.

Gather up all the plates and take them to the oven and forge,

Create a graveyard with milkweed or roses (soon) in front of the grave and different stones (flat ones work great but you can use any kind you or your loved one may have liked) and blocks behind where you can arrange your families resting place and bring kids to tell them stories about your siblings and elders.

Spread food out around the town far away from the carrot farm or kitchen where people who are working can have a nice meal so they don't have to run back home.

Make a milkweed farm near the prairie and leave an extra bone needle or two there so people can easily make their own backpacks or clothes.

Line roads with bushes, flowers (milkweed or (roses)) and wells. Make your home, not just efficient, but beautiful.

Compliment people on their clothing.

Thank them for working on the carrot farm while you were out getting rabbits.

That guy making the tools? Thank him too!

Fresh forest cut down? Make clear paths to the ponds and leave the area on the farm side clear so people can put down a basket there. You can use the butt logs as a main path and someone may turn it into a road if they come through with a froe, mallet, stake and stone.

If you see a path of butt logs going through a freshly chopped down forest, bring a froe, mallet, stake and round stone out to them and turn them into a path. IF it's a path near ponds, add some berry bushes near the ponds and leave a bowl nearby for water, if the path isn't near water, space some wells or milkweed out along it, so it looks nice.

Gather up extra clay and make bowls from it and put them near ponds outside of town, in case someone wants to start a little farm there.

Young woman bored of big city life? Make up a story and run away, then when your kids are born, tell them your story and ask for them to help you in your new life.

Young male bored of big city life? Lose iron around? Make an extra shovel, ax, froe, wedge and mallet and take them out to an area with lots of big stones and make a little castle just outside of town to make people wonder who you were.

Found a small castle outside of town, half finished? Complete it and decorate it with a sign with a lewd slogan.

Found an odd castle outside of town with a lewd slogan on a sign? Decorate around it with flowers like milkweed and roses. Clear a backyard behind it and decorate with a shrine.

Make a tiny sheep pen and instead of a sheep, lure a bear into it and close it off.

Start a town zoo.

Become a barker at the town zoo, and shout "Come one, come all. See the amazing animals at The Town Zoo!" and give free pies to adults and berries to the children that come to see the attractions.

See someone roleplaying as a hooker? Roleplay as her pimp and let her know you took care of the last John that tried to stiff her out of a tip.

Ask people if they'd like a Candied Yam, Fireball, a Leek, or a candle flame and if they say sure, proceed to give them a carrot, berry, wild onion or cactus fruit. If they say you lied, tell them your client says otherwise and explain to them how you procured such an item. Be creative.

Give someone a rock.

No really, just run up to them and say, "Here you go." and drop a rock at their feet. Then run away saying "Thanks again." Just out of the blue.

Run up to someone working alone and give them a compliment.

If you only have time to do it once per child, take your kid out to one person working and tell them how good of a job that person is doing, then continue touring around with them, while within screen of other people working, and let the child know how well each person is working at whatever it is you see them doing at the time.

Tell people about things you saw in the sky.

Take your kid to an abandoned bear cave and tell them it's your home.

Open and close chests and doors to slowed down renditions of your favorite tunes.

Compose a piece of music using the item sound effects in the game and set up your row of instruments near, but out of the way, of the largest group of people. Combine sounds that don't often go together, like pulling steel from crucibles and sheering sheep.

If you see someone running to food and die of starvation, place a carrot near their grave when you pour their remains from the basket, outside of town. Apologize to them, and yourself, silently, that you didn't leave more food out around town.

Give someone a basket of dead lambs and tell them there are no more unicorns in the forest.

Ride through town on a horse saying "The British are coming!" Then circle around outside of town, change your clothes, ride in, and ask if anyone saw a man on a horse.

Thank each elderly person you see, personally, for the work they did for the town, before you arrived.

Re: Fun things to do in game that doesn’t involve greifing

Great post Morti!

Also made me think of another idea I'm totally going to try:

Become the town fashion designer. Walk around town with a cart full of dyed clothing and get people to try on "the latest styles". Compliment anyone with a wolf hat on their exotic clothes-ask them where they brought it. Get yourself a sealskin coat and tell everyone its designer.

Re: Fun things to do in game that doesn’t involve greifing

make a sheep pen, when town already has one, make one out of stone or adobe, or fences

make a fence for seeds from sheep bones, put 8 bones at least around a tile of carrots, and enclose it with a fence. if anyone touches it, you got time to tell is for seed, but will be harder to pick so they wont anyway

make a forest of wheat, plant a small yellow biome full of wheat

make 100 plates and 100 bowls

dig thrash pits and fill them in center of desert or prairie tell others that aliens did it

dig 2x3 rooms and tell others you opened a hotel

make a doorframe and carry around, tell other you have been framed

make a statue from adobe wall, decorate

make a baby spot, remember which tile was perfect temperature desert naked, then make a stone covered tile, put a door or a box near it so babies can click on it

build a maze, made of pit holes with dead ends and swirly roads

build a road made of flatstone trough a desert

reward working kids with a piece of clothing

take a shovel, bring dung and drop under a baby, then complain to her mother that the baby made a mess.

bring dead lambs to babies and ask them to protect them

make a few new basic tools, find a good spot and make a kiln, a small carrot farm, ask or take a kid there time to time, to make a new city.

make signs leading in circles leading back to the city

give kids a tour, describe everything you see, very detalied, as a reporter

make and enclosed room, put some gold in a box, make it big, sing a song which helps them how to get inside

make a gladiator arena, for rewards

make a tunnel made of pits two sides, make sure snakes cant get inside by enclosing it with diagonal entrance and filled pit, you can make paths to all cactuses this way

Make friends with the other babies at the fire or desert edge. Later in life it makes for great roleplaying.
