This stink up's mega
bam-bam to the J-Stop


Oh man, lost my poo poo, imagine if the first landing in the new world was like this game is shaping up to be.

"We've arrived! Let's set up camp!"
"Wait sir! We've lost James, William and Patience!"
"Dammit, I thought they were in our landing craft!"
"They got distracted by a couple of grasshoppers and followed them into the woods."
"Blast! Nothing for it then, let's set up camp south of here!"

...

"Sir, sir!"
"What is it Arthur?"
"We've yet to see another soul from the Brighton!"
"What? We're only 300 metres from where we landed!"
"I know sir, but no-one thought to leave a boat with them, and the poor fools either spend half an hour trying to get into the river to swim across, or set out on their own in a completely different direction!"
"Lord help us. Arthur, go get some firewood! Why isn't there a fire yet?"
"Sir, no-one knows how to make a fire yet, and the last three people you sent to get firewood never came back."

EDIT: Ambiguous segment was ambiguous

I'm not sure if you were there or what but that is exactly what happened when we set out.

I'm one of the unlucky ones with the 3-referral "You're in the Beta" emails and no follow-up.

Please stoke my anger and resentment. Give me more screenshots of this fevered acid dream crawling with super-deformo anime puritans.

I'll find redemption with Bobble-Christ when I come ashore.

I meant back in the ACTUAL first settlement of the Americas, but you might be also meaning that, so I'll just sit here confused.

The game is complicated and pretty slow starting, so there's not much opportunity for griefing yet until we get more set up and learn some skills, other than finding pubbies campsites and looting their baskets.

Now that I actually know what I'm doing, this game is pretty drat fun. Except for when I got super lost and had to drop all my poo poo and teleport back to boston.

Oh and findy smooth stones embedded in walls

or too close to water

At the start:

Press Control + B and add "Blawrf" to the field that says "Add kin by hearth secret."
Throw me a private message, i'll invite you to group.
Exit Boston by the south-west, make sure you are north of the river.
Follow the river. Watch for the numerous myriad coloured arrows on your screen, and go towards the greatest amount of them. Ask in party chat for help getting to goonclaim.

If there's anything else, just ask in party chat.

Please do this, Meghan/Stool Sample.

I stole a guy's entire supply of smooth stones and various curiosities. There's plenty of griefing to start.

Yeah, there's lots of griefing opportunities in crashing pubbie camps and stealing all their poo poo. Most of them haven't figured out how to get the skills for homesteading and combat so they can't do anything about it.

If you guys think grasshoppers are difficult... chump change. Let me introduce you to the one-two combo that is the beaver, terrifying engine of death. The beasts of the Americas are truly frightening to behold.

And people wonder why that would be Oregon's state animal. So loveable, so weak... But truly, it is just disguising itself from you so that it might devour you when your back is turned.

This reminds me so much of ANY animal in Dwarf Fortress that it just makes me want to get my beta code even more

I swear these guys took all their animals from Dwarf Fortress... Same way in H&H. Only way to fight an animal back then was from a boat, otherwise you'd see things like foxes killing you unless you managed to increase your stats like crazy first.

The only way I can make it around successfully is by following rivers and writing down everything I do in a notepad file. I don't know how that makes me feel about myself to be honest.

Also, how do you pick leaves? After learning survival skills, the only option I get is to pick branches now which is sort of annoying.
