You inspired this new idea!

An item you can craft that is essentially a player that can't move on its own, interact, and needs no food. It just takes one zoomed-out snapshot around itself every min. This content can be viewed after you die, outside of the game so you can see what happened to your village and how much it changed when you were there.
In game it could be some sort of totem-looking thing with an eye.
Useful for greifers, but mostly to just see the impact you and your family had.
Did you strip the berry bushes and take all of the plates to the wilderness? Did you build a road? Did you have a million babies and fill the nursery?
The recipe should be about as hard as knives, bows, since it would also serve as a kind of surveillance to some degree.
Probably to fanciful to have, but I would love to see this game from other perspectives and get a sense of the bigger project that we all take part in.

I did a thing (a timelapse 4x speed)
Neat. Would love if there were a way to have a kind of camera account. (invisible, no interactions, no need for food) and place it in one spot to record the progress of a village from a fixed point.
The moving was a bit hard to watch, but it would be neat to see, say, one snapshot per min over generations how a town grows, dies etc.

we really need to be able to stack bowls of food so you can just deliver 5 stews to the berry bushes, though i've just been strategically placing my stew pots, since you can move them until the moment you set them on the fire
Didn't know that! Thank you.
a downside is the ash pile is useless for some time... something to keep in mind I suppose
#1480 Re: Main Forum » Idea: Beard style and different growing » 2019-02-25 14:55:03
What about hair rollers? You would wear them for like 2 min then get to pick a new hair style/bear style. That way it would be more clear who is changing.

In my last town someone made stew, then scattered bowls amongst the berry bushes. Berry bushes tend to be in the center of town and you couldn't miss all the stew. Once bowls were empty they could be used to tend berries again by children.
We were headed for stripped bushes even with a pretty aggressive compost operation. As an adult trying to keep the water bucket full and soil in place running to find the stew is hard! But it was right there. Didn't need to eat many berries as a grown up.
We also had this guy who was frozen called William, my older brother. (http://lineage.onehouronelife.com/serve … id=3598805) He had to be fed. Mostly one of my other brothers did this. It was kind of neat. Like this thing that happened with Neanderthals:
https://www.ancient-origins.net/news-hi … age-009023
Will taught me a lot as a baby. He was not useless.
He made it to adulthood, but then a little girl (Ketch Schuler) stabbed him. Someone stabbed her and I was so happy. What a mean little girl. Why did you kill my brother?

Learn a lot here. This one is a calm guy who explains the game very well and has been releasing videos since the update. No screaming or nonsense, but lots of fun.
https://www.youtube.com/user/HoneyBunnyGames
Not as expert of a player but this guy knows his yum tree. Like that is his thing. Yum tree. More lively video, still a way to learn a little.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RcdlfqsdwDs
This particular video is very funny. Not a great way to learn, but for new players who have died too much the jokes are.... healing. Twins, play and it's well edited. Contains screaming.
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJ3dzs … RPDqsyfvsw
Just gameplay footage from a pretty expert player. No narration. Watch carefully to learn.
What channels do you like? What particular videos?

#1487 Re: Main Forum » Leaving one berry.... » 2019-02-25 08:12:12
I'd rather you have it in your head to never leave a berry on a bush than to be confused whether you leave one on domestics or wild. Leaving a berry on the domestic will slow down the ability to resoil and rewater them which might seem like a good idea at first until you realize it takes over an hour of neglect for a berry bush to die.
You should prioritize ripping berries off bushes (one and two berry bushes) for composting/eating/whatever rather than starting with bushes that already have full or near full amounts of berries.
This is what I suspected, though in an Eve camp with wild bushes, not gobbling is important. I think many new players try to keep the hunger bar *full* which is bad, it should not be full most of the time. Not really intuitive, but I've learned to live on the edge of the first "starving" warning (silent one) when eveing and about 4 bars down in town.
Unless I'm on that funky one town server LOL where eating is a duty to free up empty tiles.

What is the current best practice for wild and domestic bushes? Is there any point to leaving one berry still?

At risk of getting too off topic (Jason is an avid gardener though lol) how much do you feed your worms?
My mom got me a worm box and i've been kind of terrible about remembering to feed them, and it's also been like a year to fill up two trays.
Yeah, I get about 3 trays per year. But you can mix it with existing soil and it will revive it. Growing in worm castings is too rich for most plants. So blend it 4/1 into spent soil, coconut fiber even a little hay.
So every year I can expand the roof garden by a few containers and refresh the others, just by buying some fiber, hay and low grade soil.
It's more like fertilizer than soil, really.
Some people do big outdoor worm piles, there is one at the community garden, and everyone brings veggie scraps, we also chop up the corn stalks and garden debris.
One key is to add some finely ground egg shells from time to time, worm population boom!

Any tips for new players on this server? What are the biggest needs? unwritten rules? I just checked it out, very nice. I made some pie, in xxyx? town, but died before I could sort them by kind.

I was born to eve, she was looking for a spot running around fed me, but ran out of food and died, my hair grew a moment later and I lived to 60
http://lineage.onehouronelife.com/serve … id=3566860
Pity I was a guy. That was the end. I made a little starter area for anyone who might pass through.
In another life Eve died right after I was born, I had an older sister who had just got her hair and she tried to feed me. We ran from berry bush to berry bush together.
But then we couldn't find another bush and she ran off, don't blame her. Maybe she made it.
What is the roughest start you have survived?
#1493 Re: Main Forum » Books to read. » 2019-02-24 05:29:45
Speaking of compost I'm kind of sad worms don't seem to do anything? (or am I confused)
I have a box of worms under the sink and they eat veggie scraps and give me free potting soil, which is a big deal in NYC where soil is like $8 for a bag, and I have kind of a large roof garden.
Anyway I'll check out the post.

If you have ever been an old man or a woman who can't have kids old and alone in a village, just trying to set things right in case anyone else finds the place... you might like the science fiction story "Quietus" it's about the black plague and a monk who must tend to his dwindling group of brothers.
Really good moving book.
What books do you think of when playing the game?

Backpack holds food lets you do more. Shirt makes you less of a sponge, decreasing hunger. We had and old man yelling at some kids (granted they were kind of selfish and grabby for my taste) who used fur to make shirts rather than saving more up for a pack.
I was just standing there naked watching the whole thing. Slowly baking pies with lag. As is my way.
Is "backpack is a better use of resources" really true in a village with about 1/3 with no clothes?

"Watering all carrots so they get wasted"
I've done this a few times because I didn't know that carrots went to seed and needed to be watched.
"eating and feeding others all the berries"
All new players do this. All of them.
#1497 Re: Main Forum » Current temp/hunger measurements » 2019-02-22 23:43:45
One of the reasons I only played the Sims once was when I found out you have to go to the bathroom in that game. I do not get how that's fun. LOL but it's a different kind of game, more about making scenarios and customizing. What that has to do with having to use the toilet IDK
I just want to manage items, build a little, cooperate and have a little goofy over dramatic roll playing.
I really like the "stay still to normalize heat" idea. It'd help keep babies still, and with a nice food bonus you could camp by a fire for a moment and check that real dinner in the real world isn't burning.
#1498 Re: Main Forum » Would maps be possible? » 2019-02-22 23:26:24
Players not using mods should be marked, just to be warned & have the choice if I want to remain near such a player or not!
See how it sounds? Pretty bad huh?
If you mark the mod users the non-mod users are de facto marked? It's not a scarlet letter. LOL. There are times when knowing about the mod might make it possible to get help. Like "can you see?"
I would ask the mod users to find things all the time.
#1499 Re: Main Forum » The Door Problem » 2019-02-22 23:23:44
Someone in a different thread suggested that bear rugs should be available as doorway covers as an alternative to doors. That sounds like a great idea to me. All the bear hunts this would lead to! Bear luring griefers would be celebrated, not cursed.
I like this idea.
Though I suspect many who bring a bear back to town just don't know how big of a problem it can be... they want medical help, or to say goodbye and give their stuff away... and then everyone gets et.

More than a few times I've been humming along with a productive life and I see some message about "___ is a greifer" or I see murdered bodies or black text. But, since I don't like have a knife (unless doing sheep or baking bread) or other weapons and PVP isn't fun to me I just avoid the chaos.
Interestingly I've only ever been murdered once, I think it was a mistake since it was out of nowhere and a player who had been nice up to then.
But, I'm wondering is it unhelpful not to be more... interested in sorting out who is greifing, or who is the murderer or whatever drama is going on?
I wonder if since I'm not interested, drawn to the location, trying to tell anyone what to do if that keeps me from being a target. I also wonder if greifers would get more bored if they got less... reaction.
I had a creepy kid pestering me for my baking knife once, and I just asked him to bring kindling and kept him busy, with tasks till he got bored.... but went off and found an bow to cause other chaos. Should I have reported him? IDK
I'm also curious from the more experienced players what forms greifing takes other than murder? The one that got one village, was carting off all axes, kindling and moving fire wood too far away for the nurses. Fire went out, couldn't bake, couldn't make a new ax, could find string for a hatchet, It was bad for a bit.
At least I think it was greifing, but some of the time it's just bad luck and bad communication.
What are the actions that make you think "yup greifer" how are other people noticing this? I know people can lie, or just... be wrong so I don't like to accuse anyone.
