Thank you for this!!!

WOW!

Griefer Eye, also known as The Prejudice Master

That's really great, nicely done !

pein · 2018-08-14 17:07:21

how you call who does 17 of this? xD

MultiLife · 2018-08-14 18:17:28

Potter? Is it considered as a job still? It's really important at Eve camps but as the pottery doesn't break, the importance drops quick. Getting clay is good though, I think?
Janitor? It'd probably be pretty close to Undertaker, but people talked about janitors to organize the mess of cities, like animal corpses of free roaming farm animals and such.

Booklat1 · 2018-08-14 21:53:02

I find that pottery has become a bit more relevant with the last update. Since dough now changes, you have to keep a lot of plates close by when making pies (which are still pretty useful). I've tested this out and it felt good to see the bakers making a quite even spread of bread and pies due to having many plates available

Joseph Stalin · 2018-08-14 22:31:14

how long did this take you to make?
covers a lot but too long to follow while in-game

This took about two hours if I recall correctly, I was planning on writing on how to do the jobs but I got tired of writing.
However after seeing how long this came out to be it would have likely doubled it in length.
This list is to learn what jobs are out there pre-game and to help decide what you want to do once you get in.

pein · 2018-08-15 05:18:44

yes , pottery is important, you can make 11 buckets or 90 bowls and one bucket and just milk the cow

littlemissmesssy · 2018-08-18 00:30:55

Good list but u forgot milkweed farmer and
Tailor

Roblor · 2018-08-18 21:49:49

I like to find an open area not to far away from the swamp, make adobe oven, bake a shit-ton of clay plates, get a flat rock, kindling, firebrand and then cook all the omelettes!
Every life.
Eggs are too OP not to use.

Only thing important thing is to do it outside of town to avoid clutter. That also prevents a lot of food bar going to waste on toddlers. I don't mind though, because eggs are an infinite resource as long as there are ponds.

I hate when kids ask "job?". Just stay alive long enough and you'll surely think of someway to make your village more survivable for the future. God like childbirth wasn't already disruptive enough.

Gold miner. This job requiors a pic axe, a cart, and three bowls. You can fill the bowls with berries before you go out for gold. Bring food in a back pack. It helps to have clothes though I’ve done this job naked. It’s a nice job for when town life gets messy and you need to get away.

Horse hitch setter. You need a shovel, stakes, round rock, and fence kits. Travel to the popular rabbit hunting grounds and iron mines and set fences to hitch horses to.

Medic. This job means keeping a fire going ALWAYS to sterilize knives. And keeping water boiling for when griefers dirty the pads.

Road crew. Not just building roads, but also planting a linear berry farm!

pedrito confesiones · 2019-03-23 14:48:58

i agree milkweed farmer is a really important job

Spoonwood · 2019-03-23 18:36:03

I find hunting snakes more difficult than hunting boars and wolves.

Also, I know Eves have cooked stew before or their children have (I remember reading the last words of some Eve and she talked about stew).

Furthermore, delaying yum to the end game really doesn't make sense. Yum should get thought about basically by anyone, as even Eves should consider that stew-type crops get planted early. Delaying pork tacos comes as one thing, delaying stew and popcorn comes as another.

Lastly, though you might find making tires relaxing yourself, it has significant complexities and I'm not sure you understand it in comparison to everything else. Rubber has to precede any newcomen atmospheric core which is needed for a pump or an oil rig or a newcomen multipurpose engine. So, it ends more in the 'tool age' category, since the first rubber cannot come after a newcomen engine. Rubber also comes as more complex than any basic blacksmithing tool, including a bowsaw. Only newcomen tech like cars, airplanes, and radios come as more difficult to make (disregarding food). I mean, assuming you have the tools for rubber, here consists of a list of things someone needs to do:

1. Slash a rubber tree.

2. Put a bucket on the rubber tree to get liquid latex.

3. Wait or do something else while waiting.

4. Put the liquid latex on the ground to get coagulated latex.

5. Wait or do something else while waiting.

6. Use a clay bowl on a hot spring for sulfur.

7. Use that sulfur from the clay bowl on the coagulated latex to get sulfured latex.

8. Use a clay bowl on a palm tree for palm kernels.

9. Cook the bowl of palm kernels in a hot adobe oven to get roasted palm kernels.

10. Crush the bowl of roasted palm kernels with a round stone to get crushed palm kernels.

11. Use a bowl of water on the crushed palm kernels to get soaking palm kernels.

12. Cook the soaking palm kernels in a hot adobe oven to get bowl of separating palm oil.

13. Empty the bowl of separating palm oil into another bowl to get palm oil.

14. Use the bowl of palm oil on the bucket of sulfured latex to get oiled and sulfured latex.

15. Use a skewer to get a bucket of rubber dough.

16. Use your hand on a bucket of rubber dough to get raw rubber tire.

17. (Which you don't always want to do) Cook the raw rubber tire in a hot adobe oven to get a rubber tire.

In comparison, here come the steps to make a bowsaw... the most complex blacksmithing tool, assuming you have the forge and fire and necessary resources, including a smithing hammer.

1. Fire kindling to make charcoal.

2. Bonk out some iron.

3. Make a few crucibles.

4. Cut a curved branch with a sharp stone.

5. Heat the crucibles in a forge for steel.

6. Make a steel file blank, a chisel, and a steel blade blank.

7. Kill a goose (there's more than one way to do this, technically speaking).

8. Use a flint chip on the goose.

9. Cook the skinned goose using a skewer over hot coals.

10. Use the cooked goose on a steel file blank to get an oiled file blank.

11. Put the chisel on the oiled filed blank and hit with the smithing hammer to get a steel file.

12. Use the steel file twice on a steel blade blank.

13. Combine the result of step 12. with a curved branch to get a bowsaw.

Most other blacksmithing tools end up significantly simpler than that. So, I really consider blacksmithing/basic blacksmithing, excluding any newcomen multipurpose engine technology, as simpler than making rubber.

Not to be pedantic, but even without yum those are the top foods pre-sheep and after tools. If you've got a hoe these are just great.

I think stewing as an eve might be good if either:
1 abundance of branches
2 axe is already made
3 kindling is okayish but you make 3 popcorn and only one stew

you cannot however run out of branches.
