Never had a good result with them so let them starve now and if there's a chance someone else will feed them I'll try and make sure they die swiftly in other ways. The only time I found them not to be deliberate griefers or complete clueless noobs they were RP'ers who just ran around with crowns spouting BS and not contributing. Shame, but there you go. Kill 'em on sight

TBH your behaviour was suspect. Your salt on here makes me think even moreso that the kill was definitely a smart move. I killed one earlier who was shouting that he was the guy we'd just had trying to grief and had returned. I was killed by another soon after but I was just happy he'd been removed again

Your attitude in game will determine how you are treated there. Some people don't tolerate anyone acting weird (like why take the file, leave at the smithy, otherwise legitimate questions will pop up) and will solve a problem before it gets a chance to exist.

If you're typing it out 1 letter at a time you'll get F first obviously. Not a leap of faith to see that become the norm imo

Griefing is so easy in a game like this, far easier than being productive/a benefit to the settlement. Had one who grabbed a bow and picked up arrows very early in my last game. Said they wanted the bow for 'hunting' which is always a big clue a it is usually bollocks. Tried to take my knife as it was handed over also.. So wandered off, found bits i needed and made my own bow then shot her. Others agreed she was a disaster waiting to happen so no problems! Checked her lineage, 3 daughters before she dies, all left to starve..

Gut instinct can be wrong but when you've seen the various grief styles it's usually right.

Yours was unforseen and must have driven them crazy being productive until they could get hold of knife!

I wonder if this guide will mean less people chasing down the last remaining scraps of food and instead preparing the way for the future by composting and ensuring famines are left to noob camps. First priority is make sure the place can survive, then move on to making crowns and pretending you're something special in a game

I learnt far more 'out of game' or just watching people in game too but then the comms system if you're not on voice is extremely limiting.. it is a very tough game because you are not just fighting the game for survival.. you're also fighting other people in many senses. Players in these environments tend to always react this way: you kill anything that could make survival any tougher. Seen it half a dozen times evolve this exact same way such as in Felucca in Ultima Online 20 years ago and again in shadowbane/darkfall communities. I actually prefer this type of game but it isn't for everyone. You complained you were tasked with putting berries in bowls, assumably for compost makers.. You could also be watering and reviving berry bushes, establishing and maintaining water sources, assisting on other farms such as stew (which will be nearby). I start every life the same as this, make sure the food base is strong, expand it as necessary, ensure it all ticks over smoothly. If you want to do something a bit different, learn how from videos or even the tutorial, for smithing, then just look for the weak point in the chains such as iron supply, hunting, farming, building - and get on it.

Oh and if you feed cursed babies you're marked too

He's been pretty clear that he intends it remaining 'as is' so yes this is the game. My advice is plan to have a weapon of your own in your backpack or hidden behind a wall/tree etc as one of the first things you aim for and kill problem players as they occur without getting into an in depth discussion about why they do what they do.

Was in one of these last night. They would rather roleplay and be useless sponges than do anything constructive as they talk about being kings and queens lol. They will stay in the berries tens of minutes np and not lift a finger even as the bushes are dying around them as long as one still has berries! Always discernible by their 'crowns' and drama they are a true burden on any civ and even if they die from old age they manage to turn that into a problem doing so in the middle of high object areas causing more clutter.

I was told I was a 'princess' and that one of my Aunts had stolen my crown as it was dropped on the floor for me. I couldn't give a shit if you want me to wear a crown, I have zero interest in self appointed lords of the manor and if I do end up with a crown against my wishes it's going in the swamp
People who make the place succeed interest me and they'll get my backpack before I die as well as anything else including knives. Don't give a baby a backpack or it too might stash a knife in it in a few years and go on to cause real problems in a settlement's chances of success.

I get we all get a little sick of 'virtually working' at times but in a productive colony it doesn't feel like a chore at all and you can even take on roles that cover multiple bases like slaughtering sheep and being an 'on-call medic' at the same time, not to mention removing problem players from the gene pool and their crowns

Had an almost identical life about a week back but we all stayed at the colony and prepped it for if and when someone else found it and just before we each died of old age an eve showed up with a daughter! One of my brother's at the very end said "we are blessed" and I know all three of us enjoyed setting the place up as heaven for the new eve even though our own line died out with us.

Yum is a huge playability boost. Not having to continually be rushing for food (as evidenced above by Alleria) means you can just get on playing the other parts of the game or going on long treks into the wilderness to find lost settlements/new resources.
A town with lots of food variety is a joy to base out of.
