baby culling

with the spawn changes we need to cull babies more than ever. kill your babies! kill your sisters babies! kill your daughter's babies!

jokes aside, we really need to start thinking about population management again. we're not in the era of lineage bans anymore, we dont need to be saving every baby in hopes that at least one makes it to adulthood. if ur in a camp thats only around gen 4/5 and uve got a shit load of sisters, raise only up to 3 kids. id generally go for 2 girls and 1 boy (in case one of ur daughters is an idiot) but that depends on the gender ratio in ur town. DO NOT RAISE EVERY BABY. ive played as eve a couple times today and had a good town going which immediately exploded into chaos around gen 3/4 because all my daughters and their daughters were keeping every baby. if ur farm is tiny as shit and only has ~2 crops you CANNOT afford to raise every baby

they will be fine, theyll be born into better, richer towns and have a better life. instead of sacrificing your camp for the life of a baby that'll probably only live to 4 b/c theres no food around, learn when to keep and when to abandon your kids

Ehh i raise alot of girls as eve ive raised 6 girls and 2 boys and still had all of em die due to idiocy..

Population management takes an active management and alomost cant be done once you have 2 adult females its kinda a bitch...

but thats the point. if u look back on ur family trees just look at how many died to starvation. thats what happens when u have 9 people in the same plot of land without a sustainable farm. for generations eve to 5 (or whenever u have a stable enough farm going) we should be controlling the population so that the smartest/most productive of the bunch can survive. i actually have a lot more success raising one or two smart girls over a whole bunch cos they can conserve the food we have in the area and they know how to manage the population

its a bit difficult now cos of the influx of new players but thats why im making this post- so that new ppl on the forums can recognize that population needs to be controlled and not every baby can/should be saved

No they usually die at 4-12 just because they cant manage their food bar then i die alone with plenty of food to support 5 or 6 people

Edit: in a low food situation your right though. The problem is smart kids are hard to seperate from lying kids...

I will teach any kid who says "new" when i ask them if they are new, but is someone claims to be pro and then makes a bunch of noob mistakes i skewer them with my arrow for being a dirty liar...

I usually grow beans, and make stew while making steel tools so there is plenty of food for the kids... yet they all still die...
