The real problem here is a big nerf with exaclty zero help to counter. Since this is a social game, the biggest and most annoying "flaw" is how hard it is to comunicate ingame. Not only how to do stuff to new people, but even for people with some knowledge it is not obvious how to coordinate. It takes 10 to fifteen minutes to teach someone how to soil and water a berry bush and another 10 to fifteen to teach and explain him why he shouldn´t be eating domestic berries in the first place. God bless you if you manage someone to eat pies or stew instead of mass picking berries from the farm.

But the worst part of the poor comunication are more likely the "self learners". That guy that starts making pieces for an engine while you have almost no steel and when you confont him he comes back "lol noob we need an engine for water" while you are trying to point out there is not enough iron for an engine for starters and no oil either. Or the guy that starts chasing you because you light the oven to cook those 7 pies trying to save the town from famine "nooo wait I need to make more... why did you cook my pies I need to make twenty to cook them". Unfortunately self learning in BS2 is just hurting everyone around. You made everything to make "icecream!!!" but you did´t get sugar because you are not brown. And I won´t talk about people using the newcomen hammer or roller and let it go unused because they didn´t know to light the forge first.

All that is related to the real hardship in this game, teaching and learning. Food nerf? Iron nerf? Its the same to each and everyone of these survivalists, they will just carry more pies around while every new player just dies clueless of how to get water with 4 full cisterns around.

I see that comment as incredibly ignorant and inappropiate.

Theres no doubt mutton pies are superior to carrot pies. Theres no doubt mutton pie is the best portable food in the game.

I just dont get how you guys get yourself cursed so much. I am pretty mean in game but one thing I don´t do is griefing.

I ship any heavy yummer even eating a bowl of cooked beans, because chances are they are helpful to everyone else.

- When I do math on potatoes I always do x4 for each row, because you need one potato to plant the next row.

- Shrimp is good because you carry four servings per item and you get a value close to rabbit pie. Also you get free meat from the repair fleece, it does a nice combo with mutton pie.

- Baked potato only makes sense for heavy yummers. They are not horrible but still worst than milk, carnitas, mutton pie, rabbit pie, shrimp, stew and turkey broth.

- The only reason bread is not horrible is because you still need straw for compost so theres always some grain for free.

I thought it was 4 corn per plant?

Carnitas is still second best food in the game, milk first and mutton pie is best of portables (mostly because it is 4 servings per slot). Shrimp and rabbit pie are similar and and they are also ok for portables, even if you have to bait rabbits with berry and carrot. Stew is ok but not near close to carnitas or milk. French fries are ridiculously good but they are too small servings to be considered containable as the pies. Turkey is free and broth is close to stew. Even if you milk the thirsty cow with a full bowl of water you are still better than stew and mutton

Watch out for considered "good" foods which are not that much better than berry (Berry is 3*7=21 pipes per water and soil). Bread is like 48 pipes for 2 water, so pretty bad. Bean burrito and baked potato are close to bread (around 25 and 32 pipes per water). Dont overdue bread!!

I don´t want to comment on the curse system because I don´t really know if it is bugged or not. However, I´ve seen a revitalization of the griefers around the map because the no kill solo update ended up being the perfect cover. Half the time people don´t know how to join a posse and half the time you have to show everyone the griefer almost in action for them to join. Last night a guy dug all the berry trees right in front of everyone in the town, after ten to fifteen minutes explaining everyone how to join and why we needed to kill that guy someone said "uh we can just plant more" "don´t kill him" while the other guy was stealing buckets and digging more bushes. I just don´t log in to be chasing around some idiot or having to convince everyone of how to play the game.

A decently well civilized town should use the grand total of zero domestic berry bushes per person up to like 20 people.

Good update.

Even Jason posted something meaningful to the thread. Stop shitposting please.

HAHA this post made me chuckle, its like trying to stop the rain with your hands. You are actually right current tech tree is reached in less than a day, I´d say in like 6/8 hours tops unless there is a massive population of new players. And yeah techtree is not hindered by oil/water it´s just that besides making oil for a diesel pump nothing else makes any sense (morse radio is laughable, cars and planes are a waste of kerosene and radio is not even worth it´s water cost). Maybe (and this is a big maybe) photo *could* be considered like, you know, almost fun.

Towns don´t ever die because of bad luck, thats silly, towns never ever die for a different reason than lack of people. I´ve seen it so many times, towns dying because people start to sid. Even if there is food. So many towns with actually full pens and cows. I believe I´ve yet to see a real dead town because there was zero food/water. And even if there was zero food, a pond is basically 10 bowls of water or 40 ears of corn or 40 buckets of milk. Its not even that hard.

Jason hasn´t been ahead of anyone since like Newcomen Pump. There is no tech tree, trees have branches and options, you get to make a selection of how to use your resources. Here you have food production and water production, there is no choice: all towns are the same. For a full year we have seen this idea of perfecting core mechanics when in reality it all looks like Jason is just juggling around. I don´t blame him, one hundred items a week was his offering and he can´t deliver, there only so much a lone man can do. However, don´t try to stop the rain with your hands, you can only catch a few drops.
