- Spirit Fragments and more! - 30 December 2022
Tribe Ownership and Invitations 1. We removed the system with resurrection points on tribes. There will no longer be a point where the tribe "dies". It can be resurrected as many times as you like, using personal points that you earn by playing on other tribes. More about this a little further down. 2. The founder of a tribe will now be considered the leader/owner of that tribe. The owner gets to invite other players either as members of the tribe, or as temporary guests. Only owners and members will have the power to resurrect a tribe. We don't want an unlimited number of tribes, so there will be a cost of personal points to create a new tribe too. 3. When the change is rolled out we will look at the three adopted tribe slots you have. Those that are tribes you founded, you will be made the leader/owner of, and the others you will be made a tribe member of. Tribes that are not saved by…
- Something Sweet - 14 November 2022
Pale-Zelles and milk The white skin of this Zezelling will scare other Zezelles away, because it can put them in danger. You can adopt it, it can produce milk and meat for your tribe. Evo Nut Evo Nut is a mysterious fruit that when consumed it can change the genetic structure in offspring. And when you use the water in it to water plants it may cause genetic changes to the plant. Choko Choko is a fruit that is very delicious, can be used to make treats for humans and some animals. Predator prevention if there is a growing river grass that has at least 3 leaves, a player can hide in it from predators. Unless the predator stands in the same tile as the player, it will stop stalking/attacking the player and the player becomes invisible to predators. Other good use: 1. if you hide in grass and have a spear in hand, you can kill howlers without worrying too much of being attacked by them, pr…
- A Good Haul - 2 November 2022
Added "drag sled" You can transport multiple baskets or single animal body. Improvements to some aspects of the ICB * We will stop using composited images to show the ingredients on a table or work mat. The ingredients are too small to recognize, and the image doesn't show the table/work mat, so people have been confused.Instead we will show a generic image of "Table with Ingredients" or "Workmat with Ingredients" * The required amounts of each ingredient now show larger and more readable (The brown circles with numbers in them) * We are also separating the "Creation Steps" into two sections instead of one: 1. Ways to Create (shows alternatives for creation, without going into steps) 2. Detailed Creation Steps (this shows the steps, but will only show if there is a single alternative in Ways to Create, so there is no mixing and confusion) More resources Per popular request, the amount o…
