Volde Family

Floofy · 2018-12-05 00:22:24

I was wondering if anyone from this forum took part in the Volde Family.
My mom (eve) died a bit early but she was very good and most importantly chosed a really good spot.
can't pin point exactly who did what, but this was my best family by far. Almost everyone was doing something
Personally, as a gen 2, i did something like 8 rabbit pies, made early hatchet and fire bow, made 2 snares, hunted a lot of rabbits, made first backpack, helped with smithing, collected eggs and branchs.

I predictably this will be a long family. when i died they had a pen going, most iron tools, etc.

Note: Despise all the praise to my family, them starving is so crazy. How can decent players like this starve in such a good town lol

Noice, good to hear that they had a good amount of tools by gen two. Sadly given the time gap between now and the gen five deaths it may be the end
And to answer your question, all it takes is one or two mothers picking up and putting down children rapidly and going "FUCK I'M HUNGRY" before eating the last pies and descending upon a berry grove, or a malicious player eating/hiding the food while pleading ignorance about yum bonus as they dress their children in the desert in sealskin coats.

Also, one thing I've noticed is that as an Eve kids will often demand we focus on making pies - which I think in a situation where you are making a good amount of tools is certainly the next priority - but I've found before I even get iron they're asking about it, am I right in telling them to not worry about pies too much? For instance - I deliberately setup an oven away from the kiln in the interest of town planning and my daughter stared and went "WTF/big/rock" because there wasn't as much free space as the kiln... When I tried to explain that by the time you're actually using an oven you should have the tech to remove the rock she seemed not exactly convinced.

This is a good question.

I personally do think people rush iron tools a bit too fast. Hoe/Axe or anything beyond that really isn't urgent at all. The most urgent tool is shovel, which is becomes really important when the few ponds you have run out. But if you picked a spot with plenty of ponds, then it really isn't that urgent.

Instead, i personally prefer the town to put efforts into starting a good berry farm, and hunt a lot of rabbits so we can do some rabbit pies and some clothes.

I actually just had a eve game where i had a really strong start. At some point we had 3 women and 3 girls + me + some boys. But the issue is most good players were busy trying to get to iron tools (which absolutly weren't needed at all). I was personally ultra busy bringing mass eggs to actually sustain this huge population (they would literally have eaten all the eggs whenever i came back) and nobody handled the farm. They almost all died from starvation lol

I kinda feel like hoe is lower priority than shovel because you need the shovel for making wells - and something I've been encouraging since it was mathematically broken down that skewers are better than stone hoes I encourage my family to plant a skewer once their skewer breaks.
