a multiplayer game of parenting and civilization building

I'm playing on a low pop server and my mom (who has the Eve spawn) dies. I go out looking for other towns and don't find much. That's not so much of an issue, just more like backstory. I come up with a better plan, I think, so that the town might get found more easily. I try to get started on that, then I hear a bell. I go back to my homemarker and dig it up and... it tells me the belltower is 23k away! I could travel the old s12 road, more than 10k in length, with a car in a single life and have some time leftover, but the extra time wouldn't be enough to travel a 23k road. And building a 23k road even with rubber horsecarts, I just don't find realistic whatsoever. Planes do exist, but there wouldn't be any way to land the thing without someone making a strip. A radio could help with communication, but often enough the person playing in the other town isn't close enough to hear the radio, and that's even more late game. So, I don't think there's a feasible in game solution.
I could have misread things and it said 2.3 K. But, it seems like a strong memory that '2' and '3' were directly next to each other. I double check that I still can't get playback games to work, and sure enough it stops working. I use Hetuw mod, so I double check with the default client. It also stops working before an image of the in-game screen appears. And even if I had the in-game screen, I would need to run the program for 50 minutes to check that particular piece of information.
Edit: I checked logs and there's information like (-20,000, -10,000), while others are at like (-1000, -1000). The person's playing had an Eve spawn months ago and may have restarted from there. Though, it looks like 23k is correct.

I'll play where I like thank you. I don't want to play in a context with restrictions based on race. Hope you have a nice day. I don't think your hostility to my post is warranted here nor elsewhere where you just called it a negative word. Again, hope you have a nice day and can relax.
I'm not the one who has the problem here of being far away here, and won't speak for that person. S/he can also start over probably and have a connected village, and might not see a problem.
That said, it would be nice if I could get the playback feature to work AND I could jump to any point in the life to analyze what happened there, so I can at least review things to see what happened when apparently some problem has come up. Again, hope you have a nice day.
