Thanks to the lineage ban, suicide babies are much less common, although they still happen on occasion.

I still haven't come up with a great strategy myself in combating this issue, it is really a matter of luck at the moment. The best thing that we can do when we setup camp as an eve or a runaway girl is to choose a place with extremely high levels of food, even if the other resources aren't as great. Sometimes you might find a nice spot with plenty of water, on the edge of multiple biomes, but if food is scarce...I move on. Food is key to survival. When you get to your chosen campsite, grab a sharp stones and run across the area cutting any burdock you can find out of the ground...you will not regret doing this later.

One other thing I try to do is quickly build a kiln, I find that when babies spawn, they are less likely to suicide at a camp with a kiln. It makes the place feel like it has some permanence, even though it is still very fragile.

At the end of the day, not every kid will survive no matter how much your provide them with. I'm ashamed to admit that even I die fairly often as a second generation kid, it comes with the territory imo. As you run around setting up, it is very easy to neglect the health bar. Its sad, but true.

The problem is that all resources are finite (or are going to become so in the future), so there never will be a good time to commit resources, because once they are gone they are gone. I guess this means that we can only live in certain areas for a short period of time, and then move on after resources are exhausted, but our civs will never advance under a system like that. With the number of kids each eve and her offspring have, an area could run out of resources after only the 2nd or 3rd generation. We could practice population control, but by doing so we risk the survival of our lineages because of the ban. All of these nerfs could swirl together and break the game.

I really appreciate all of the recent changes you have made, but if you do plan on making everything finite, please also try to find ways that we can still practice some kind of sustainability or renew our resources through a series of steps....make it as difficult as you need to, but consider the long term play-ability of a world where even the basics like berries are finite...it wouldn't be much fun imo if we had no way to support our villages.

Its a game, we have to take some creative license.

Do the different color roses do different things?

Was anyone part of the family where Queen Tulip murdered everyone some 25 generations in, http://lineage.onehouronelife.com/serve … _id=116472?

This is why carrot crowns are a bad idea, power makes ppl crazy.

I will admit that some tasks have become ridiculously complicated, like composting for instance. I remember the good old days when all one needed to do was mix mashed carrots and berries to staw, and add water to make compost. Then worms were added, which was a little tedious, but ok. But the addition of dung, which requires a sheep enclosure and shovels can easily kill many starting camps. Case in point, I was born as a third generation female, and my camp was already exhausted of soil by the time I matured, but we lacked the sheep to compost. This meant that I had to spend basically my whole life running across like 3 biomes to get more soil. I would consider this a nerf for sure, and I don't much like it (not that my opinion matters much xD).

Thing is, I know that Jason is reading our comments and I am hopeful that we will get some new tech progression in the next updates.

Only 124 people are currently playing the game mid-day in North America on a Saturday, which is quite low.

I think the problem is that every week the mechanics of the game change, but new content is scarce. This creates a situation where newbies and casual gamers are dis-incentivized to keep playing because the learning curve is too steep, and once they learn how to play one way, they have to quickly change and learn to play a different way. This obviously turns people off, and causes them to quit playing.

Veteran players meanwhile tech up too quickly, or try to find ways to break the game to illustrate a point, this causes Jason to make more gameplay changes and create less new content. Ultimately this complex situation has made the game feel very dark and depressing to me, when it used to be jovial and collaborative.

Sorry, I don't believe you for a minute. You will do it again. I can tell from your writing that you had fun destroying this society, and it is only natural to do "fun" activities more than once. Thankfully you taught me your methods, so if a bunch of berry bushes get destroyed and someone runs over and starts telling me about it, I will instantly keep a close eye on them (knife at the ready). If someone with a bow starts to talk to me, I will keep moving while they talk.  So on and so forth.

I will be waiting.

I think a mechanic should exist, wherein if you are a baby and force log out, you have a cooldown period that you have to endure.

Babies that die of starvation would only have the cooldown after "X" number of times. I get that suicide is a strategy in this game, and heck, I have done it myself before. We almost all have, and there are certian good reasons to do it from time to time. However, at this point it is making the game near unplayable as a single Eve and destroying lineages in older villages. The cornerstone of this game is that you are always born into a different situation, and you need to adapt to survive. At this point however, people are taking too many liberties in choosing who they are going to live with at the expense of other players.

Aye, what Turnip said.

Only once have I stumbled across any signs of other people when I have recently spawned as a new eve. It feels kind of lonely, tbh. Thats why a new Eve's job is to setup all of the basics and pass it to her daughter(s). Live to 60, and then respawn in the same camp to keep building and learning as you go.
