you win!

Raidan Allcoc makes big families.

still not worth suffering trough te tutorial. surely nonsensical error.

what if the griefer is the cook?
well, you notice that by just having a mass starvation. this is a problem that instantly solves itself.

https://onehouronelife.gamepedia.com/Radio
Adding either a long, medium, or short Antenna will set the frequency to Low, Medium, or High respectively. Speak into an AM Transmitter set to the same frequency to test if the receiver works. The Antenna can be removed again to choose a different frequency.

not sure if antenna length affets radio range, thechnically and gameplay wise it should.

simple radio lessons are (you may want to write ingame notes of these):
- radios translate text between foreigners, that otherwise do not understand each other.
- build the reciever first, your city is unlikely the first with a transmitter within range. but another cities transmitter is likely within range, and then you have a listening post for espionage.
- radio parts need a lot of copper and high tech tools to be build. if you want radios, get the blue crumply ores, like at least 30 of them, and lots of kindling.
- build the reciever first, your city is unlikely the first with a transmitter within range.  but another cities transmitter is likely within range.
- the base of the transmitter can not be picked up, the reviecer (and all other radio parts)can be moved, but not be put in carts/containers.
- build the reciever first, your city is unlikely the first with a transmitter within range.
- lock up the reciever, or completely wall it in, it is likely to be sabotaged/stolen/displaced.
- build the reciever first, your city is unlikely the first with a transmitter within range.
- the transmitter should not be in a busy place, this just spams and it gives away too much valuable information, that you may want to keep secretive.
- build the reciever first, your city is unlikely the first with a transmitter within range.
- the transmitter should have a free space around it, roughly 7x7 tiles, to store a lot of letters in, you can at least share old historic documents via radio.
- build the reciever first, your city is unlikely the first with a transmitter within range.
- try placing the reciever close to the transmitter, because
- - this makes city-to-city communication faster. it rarely happens, but it did happen during the last week?
- - radios translate foreign languages, so when a single visitor comes, and naively rushes in with a weapon to get killed, you can teach him to say his final curses trough the ratio, if reciever and transmitter are close together. this is always fun for everyone inviolved, like, say your final words to be understood at last.
- build the reciever first, your city is unlikely the first with a transmitter within range.
- in theory, you only need one battery, and you have a half-duplex radio, where you just can not send and recieve at the same time, but can switch between both and do both byswapping the battery. this saves you a lot of materials and time.
- and finally; build the reciever first, your city is unlikely the first with a transmitter within range.

like seruiously, a ratio of 10 transmitters to 1 recievers is what i keep seeing, and its just silly. it should be the other way around.

also, if there is a war happening, be VERY careful what you say close to a radio, because once again, the radio transmits and translates unfiltered.
i just guerillia warfare killed 10 people in the bell city on my own, and rang the bell. They were just bad fighters, i didnt need ranged weapons at all, they never hunted me far, or in large numbers, and i was already too old to run away in a hunt, to that would have killed me easily.
They told me through their radio, how many of them where at least currently at the radio, if any new baby was born near the radio, how scared they where, if they where begging for pads and threat, what they thought to know about me, and if they where trying to hunt me, in what direction they currently suspected me to be, as they spread multiple recievers all over their town where i could listen to them whine and die, which sure assisted my guerillia war.

and thats how you can use 4 radios, one transmitter and 3 recievers, spread all over, to enable one person to murder everyone in the bell city with the "library of jobs".
[the art of suivide] involves radios in its final form.

physically, high frequency radio signal allows to send more information per time, but with shorter distance limits. the antennas are usually smaller here, like many small mobile phone antennas. this is up to microwave-lengths.
physically, low frequency signnals allow less information but higher range, the antennas are usually larger here (and higher up), like huge radio towers, usually only one per city, usually on top of muntain peaks. wavelenths are closer to a meter long here.

the direct ranging ingame effect is neglible.
In the end you get 2 to 6 more food bars at old age. at younger age, the extra food bars have a very neglible effect.
in total, you eat like 3 berries or 2 bananas less during 60 minutes, if your ranking is in top 30.
woohoo, you can get much bigger boons when you get 10 to 15 yums, wich is much easier done, by eating one unique food item every minute till age 12,
and then taking a long baby break, while trying to keep this up as much as you like.

the psychological ranking ingame effect is big.
I see significantly more girls being born constantly now, like up to +50% more girls at any moment. cities a lot less just fizzle out AT RANDOM,  due to neglible moms, instead they die off non-randomly, for reasons mentioned below.
I see significantly more people near fireplaces.
I see more secondary and tertiary fireplaces, when ever baby booms happen and moms must copy a fire to another food source.
I see omlettes and gooses being cooked slightly more and faster.
I see more ruins with short stone road systems, as in, cities suually reeach a state where they have multiple wells and higher technology before they die out. this was different before, where many moms just where too negecting, and low tech cities died off more randomly/easily.
i no longer notice dumg boy-killing amazon tribes.
fertrile females are seen slightly less on horse carts, but still give birth a lot within 50 tiles distrance.

youre directly being juged for
- not having a weed farm close to the birthplace of your kid.
- not having the same ratio of kindling to iron (either no kindling or no iron)
- not having the capability to defend against single bears (lack of arrows and bear skins), cause if you dont, youre just begging for up to eight bears, in groups of 2-3, its a matter of time.
- being a retarded cunt mom that just wandered far away from the main base on her own.
- tolerating more than 1 knife per 20 players in the family. all excessive knifes are for traitors, and people who make or want excessive knifes should just be cursed or murdered preemtively, before the knife gets inherited by a sheepfucking murderer. (or children just see the knifes and corpses and goe /die)

so yeah, it you put up with any of these situation, or tolerate hem, you deserve your babies to /die, and deserve a lowering ranking for it.

Only players, who dare to sink below 5 lifes (and the average newbie) may decide to put up with your incompeteence in those regards, in a futile attemt to fix your problems, or in a more satisfying attemt, to just murder the whole town, and wander off with a dead town full of loot.

oh i moved on so many times, born as male in a town without hope, rope or kindling, it makes the /die so essentiial.
its just when im below 4 lifes, that i am stuck in such towns, and the last towns then just got the bad luck of being too many such towns, with me stuck in one of them. its more an exceptional state though, i am rarely below eight lifes.
born as female in such a town, i managed to fix many of their issues, making rope, kindling and babies. mostly making babies, fixes a towns lack of girls, because mothers fail to stay warm.
born as male in such a town, i managed to fix many of their issues, by luring 4 to 8 bears, in pairs of 2-3. but only if they dont even have 2 arrows in town, total, in gen 4+. no point in luring bears, when a city can defend itself against a bear.
its rarely the males that kill towns, but its the town that fails to give birth and make ropes, that kills itself.
so far i only once underestiomated a towns capability to defend against bears, and was in awe about it killing off thee 8 bears i lured. the town still deserved them at the time of the lure.

you see the control freak making a 5th knife, making demands and murdering people. thats not me.
you see the control freak, making property fences, and treating their own children as slaves. thats not me.

you see me, saying "just go wild" a lot, where ever people ask for something to do, especially near age 35, when i get too old to care what others do.
you see me in the attitude of "too many towns that cause too low lives for too many players on forced idle, now its time to kill some of them"

--

more recently, that attitude changed in a "hey, wanna joins me exploiring nw" "just fuck em"
and i was accompanied to a long travel, that was fun for both, and no grief for others.
this is just anormal separatist migration, totally murder free.

northwest, because thats a safe direction of maximum exploration (northeast works just aswell, BUT, eves currently seem to spawn on the east of the circle?
northwest, because i know, currently most eves spawn east/south of that long path of cut trees that i made, and i managed to find it a few times, from any eve-spawn, just by walking nw for 2k.

yes sounds lovely, a free and much more hardcore/trial version.

the game is very opensource, [two hours one life] is a freeware spinoff, but its mechanics differ (many extensions, but not all updates), and its mobile port is only temorarily good, only if you are in asia and speak japanese, chinese or korean (large servers are not on all day, only a quater day, and ping matters in the mobile port).

the servers vary a lot, so a sneak peek makes sense for a savy buyer.
therefore, not much would be lost by very limited free trial-like acces.

the culture of a town is strongly defined by nearby biomes and the material of its animal pen. southern adobe animal penn wals are good spots for a bakery. property-fenche pens have a shorter life span, resulting in more escaped animals over time, which makes for different lifestyles.
the culture of a town is mostly defined by its road network, and possibvle connections to nearby towns/ruins.
it limits mostly the number of baskets, gooses and eggs, and the utility of carts.

bear/iron rich cities definitely have a different play style.
jungle biomes cause more nudit and less cloth than snow biomes, with easy ascces to many furs, and more need for furs.
the access to rabbits and wild berries definitely affects a towns style.

great towns manage to incooperate blocking items, that can not even be destroyed or moved onto into a wall segment of an animal pen.
the best one of those is a rabbit hole. the second best of those are bear caves.
rabbit holes and bear caves make awesome animal pen walls.

i rarely ever see any one of ten pick up a profession that is needed, especially while people ask fot it to be assisted in.
Instead of seeing people do what a town may need '(its always rope and kindling), i mostly see people to what they want to do or can do (making the 20th knife, just to get stabbed or lise it within 500 distance), which mostly ends up wasting water on berries. (bnecause berries is all they got to know)

instead of seeing carts being used to gather much needed ropes or kindling, i see more and more horse carts collect more and more excess iron.
you overestimate crowd-intelligence, its actually the lowest common denominator in large crowds.
as long chains are as strong as their weakest links.
i found many ruins with 30ish iron and very low kindling, but also full of things zthat would have decayyed before kindling.
they just sucked at making axes and making babies, but loved to collect more excess iron. its a common theme.

a baby tour isnt necessarily rp, its usually in search for baby clothing.
