Seeds can be found in the wild. If the wild source is far you must be careful to get and use or save (in a bowl) the seeds dropped when cutting the squash. Is this the only way to get seeds and is one seed the max per squash? It's not hard to manage, but it bothers me when I only have 1 or 2 squash plants in the garden and expanding rows of corn and beans.

Must I run to the yellow grasslands to increase the number of seeds in circulation?

Pie-pouch is the big style hitting the runways. So fashionable.  Used to be an onion that was in style. No longer. Wear a pie.

What is your favorite look in game? What is the funkiest?

Just look at this paragon of the runway

As a mathematician this offends me. Writing out every word is just wild.

What is the most annoying part of this game? People taking the flint chip or plate when you are making soup. People taking the bowl when you are smelting. Basically key tools and items get grabbed.

The tool rack is made by putting a fence kit on a sledge then hitting it with a mallet.

It makes a kind of rack on the sledge that can hold tools (ax,ho,shovel, saw, ads, pick etc.) The bottom of the sledge can still hold baskets and items. (this is where you put flint chips and bowls) So it holds 8 items, but 4 must be tools only.

Setting up a tool rack would make items a little less likely to be taken by mistake, and help new players see what items go together.

Having played for a few weeks I've noticed some patterns. Mostly tied to US players who are likely most numerous (is that true, though?) the worst time to play is "after school" that is from about 4-8pm Eastern on weekdays. At this time a baby boom happens in most towns, and the percentage of lil' shits increases greatly. By "lil' shits" I mean inexperienced selfish players who grab everything, and don't leave things better than they find them.

I have a kind of test. I set of a clothing making station in a larger village, some furs skinned, some wool, the thread needle, spindle knitting needles. I put it next to the sheep pen mostly so the sheep tools can be found. If when I come back later everything is just gone and trashed I know the grabby ones are playing. If the materials have been used, but in a way that makes it easy for the next person? That always makes me happy. Anyway 4-8pm in prime time for everything getting trashed. It's kind of funny but also annoying.

As the night goes on however, the population starts to drop, and villages risk failing not from a famine, or baby boom, but from not having enough births.

Around 1am the population drops off horribly and this is the best time to build and really organize. It's my favorite time to play, but it's also kind of sad since you are nearly always in a dying town. I think what I want to try to do is find strategies that make the babyboom more ... productive. Help out the "lil' shits" since they are only acting that way because they are starving, don't know the options etc.

I've had some luck raising kids in the woods and bringing them back during a boom. Also, gives time to get to know the kid. The nurseries are efficient for experience players, but I think they bring out the worst in new players. It's like being in detention, you can't see what is going on in the village, you can't talk, just home some old fellow shows up to give you his stuff.

I also see a lot of comments about people who care for kids being "useless" if you have more than 3 to feed that's a full job, you can't do much else. One time I was trapped in a nursery with 8 kids and people kept dropping off more. A very kind fellow brought me a pie and the kids some bread (they should leave with a small food in hand at least IMO) Anyway I'm just saying it's hard.

What patterns and cycles have you noticed? What is the worst time to play? The best?
