I must admit, I was hoping for a longer story.

Re: How Every Life Has Been The Same, Will Be The Same For the Near Future
But wouldn't life feel the same if you were born in the same family over and over again. I remember that being the case in the Rift days with families like the Unos and Germans lasting for longer than 200 gens.
I'm not saying this isn't a problem, but longlasting families won't increase variety of lives, but rather the feeling of permanence to the world.

For the time being, I think we have enough content.

Re: How Every Life Has Been The Same, Will Be The Same For the Near Future
But wouldn't life feel the same if you were born in the same family over and over again.
Were the Unos and Germans always living in the same town? Were any of them able to start over from scratch? Was there a lone survivor at some point? Did they have different challenges from temperature over time (such as having to cool off their town)? Did wild animals provide them with different survival challenges? Was technology sometimes a problem and sometimes not?
If lineages could survive updates, by Eves having ancestors, well, where does that Eve spawn? In the wild? Near other towns? Next to a kiln? Near an oil rig? Near a tarry spot? By a child whose has low pips? By the bones of someone who has just died in a certain generation on a family tree? By someone of a different race who is a teenager? By a shallow well? By a deep well? By a newcomen charcoal pump? By a newcomen kerosone pump? By a diesel water pump? By a radio? By a landing strip? Outside of, but by a tutorial area? By someone with the cursed black text? By a camera? By a man? I'd say that such Eves having multiple possible starting locations wouldn't lead to them feeling like their lives were the same even with getting born into the same family a few times.
I'm not saying this isn't a problem, but longlasting families won't increase variety of lives, but rather the feeling of permanence to the world.
Even if the families have a discontinuous existence? Even if after an update people/the person restarting a lineage were thrown to a distant location? Even if they would possibly get placed next to different objects, or different people?
