How does a migration even work?

In thinking about the logistics of it being worthwhile, everyone migrating needs to have an arm full of some kind of food in bowls or baskets, and backpacks with the tools they were able to make in an advanced civilization.
Am I right? How does a society organize who gets what? Is it possible to pick up everything en masse or do you have to ration the tools out while those remaining delegate what goes to the next wave of immigrants?

Re: How does a migration even work?

Ideally you first send a small group from your village off to find a suitable area. Next you send basic steel tools out to your secondary group so they can start up making the new area livable. Once the new area can support multiple people you send the next wave of people to the second settlement or just have the original group pump out babies in their area. You can't afford to move a whole town into the wilderness but you can afford a smaller expedition out to create a sister site. Once said sister area is up and running generally you just have people running back and forth between cities to whichever is more livable at the current moment.

How does a leader emerge in such a situation to organize that? And how does the news that it's happening spread?

The way I do it is being a 14-16 year old woman with a cart full of steeö tools, a backpack full of bowls and food and a son carrying firetools. Then I just fuck off north.

Re: How does a migration even work?

well the way i do it is usually if i'm a girl, i soon as i get my hands, i snatch a basket full of suitable baby food that wont be missed ( usually 2 berries ans a carrot, i don't like to waste food and take more than i can eat, also i would feel bad to take more) find a perfect temp tile and using temp control i walk away in a straight line into one of the cardinal direction untill i find a suitable spot, far enough but not too far either and start from scratch.
As soo as i have babies, i tell them where i came from, tell them to pass on the knowledge to their kids and hope for the best.

Re: How does a migration even work?

i wonder around city in a spirallic way out and if i see a better spot, i make a kiln and a small berry farm, then tell a few people or just to my kdis if woman, pouch, needle, bowl, fire tools help but one rabbit and a bowl does the trick, the rest is like an eve run
take some spare stuff if there is more of them, like a hoe or an axe

Re: How does a migration even work?

I just fuck off as well. Especially when its a giant city and there's no more trees around. I get kinda bored in super advanced cities because it's same old same old.
