Quick question: how many eggs will be collected (roughly) per egg collector, and how many are produced (per chicken/ day)?

[GreatWyrmGold]

A chicken produces 1d6-1 eggs per day if female and 1d3-4 if male.
The egg-collector collects all eggs at once, unless he gets a 3 (half of the eggs) or less (none, possible egg breakage).
An egg is good for, oh, half of a person's daily food. Nor reason to get caught up in the numbers.

[TopHat]

Ah. Just wondering how many collectors I'd need.

That means that If I get an egg producing bonus or something, the males will start laying eggs? Or do the males somehow reduce the amount of eggs,?

[anailater]

Name changed, is it o.k.?

[Caerwyn]

Can I add the slightest change to my perks? I've been thinking it over, and I need to adjust a few things.

Otherwise, no questions save one: Do we order all our people to do things?

EX: "5 men picking fruit, 5 men cutting wood, 5 men exploring, 5 women gathering shellfish, 5 women sewing" or something?

It means 4>3.

Sure, what is it?

Yup, although you need a prier for each person gathering shellfish and don't have any grasses or reeds to sew with. And you only have one adze. So, general idea's fine.


Should I start putting how to make these useful tools in the OP?

[Caerwyn]

I changed the perks; - Added chickens, added no canoes. That's fine, right?

And when do we post our turns? And, please do, it'd be nice to have a quick reference. Are you keeping track of our villages/stuff, or do the players?

Plus, how do we "Learn" better technology? I want to set some smart guys on thinking up a prototype spear (Stick + Fibers/Rope + Stabby), and some mining, y'know. To actually catch foods with.

[GreatWyrmGold]

It,s fine. Post your turns now, if you're ready.

You can already make spears and such. Worry about learning more than average Polynesians when you have a village up and running.

Finally, I'll be able to keep track of your villagers, but you can too. If we both do it, there's a lower chance of a screwup.

[Caerwyn]

Have fun keeping track! Screw the work, I want FUN! Plus I'm already keeping track of 2-3 RTD characters...

# of people = Green.
Men = Teal.
Women = Pink.
Children = Yellow.

Kamehameha will order two of his men to take the adze and fell medium-sized trees, two other men to scout in a roughly one-mile radius around the village, five men to head to the local mines and begin to gather chunks of ores/sturdy rocks, and two men will try and discuss a way to fashion a BOW. Oh, and three men to try and hunt for meat.
The final man will gather water for everybody.

Five women will also hunt for tubers, reeds and etc, while the last five women and children will go out and pick fruit.

Color-coding is fun!

[LordSlowpoke]

BRILLIANT MASTERPLAN INBOUND

Five women will take a group of 6 children each to the Hunt. One man will acquire shellfish. Ten children get grass and reeds, while the remaining ones research food preservation.

[anailater]

5 Men hunting,
1 Man gathering wood
1 woman Egg collecting
1 woman teach 5 children hunting.
9 men + 4 women practice running.

[TopHat]

1 man gets water [no tools]
2 men cut trees [adze]
9 men hunt [no tools]
3 men and 5 women gather plants [no tools]
1 woman collects eggs [no tools]
3 women gather grass / reeds [no tools]
1 woman starts a fire [no tools]
5 kids muck about, or whatever it is kids do.

10ebbor10:
You have one adze, which requires only one person. Likewise, you have one pick, which five people will probably just fight over. Once you get stone or something, you can make more.
Making a bow requires two units of wood, easily gatherable within a day, and one of grasses or reeds for the string (even more so).
Kids might help, but it's hard to get them to work.
Finally, while everyone can get their own water they won't do as well as if one person got water for all of them.

Slowpoke: You have five men, and children probably won't work. You can make suggestions, but at least half of them will just be children. There's a reason kids are cheap...Thankfully, they eat half as much.
Oh, and having half of your adult population hunt at a -1, with neither weapons nor armor? Do you want a tribe of children?

anailater: You have only one adze, and don't expect a baby for a while. And the kids should learn farming about when you can set it up, which won't be for a while.

TopHat: One adze, kids do pretty much just muck about.


Seriously, why do people try to get multiple people to cut trees with one adze? An adze cannot divide into a swarm of littler adzes!

[anailater]

Changed.
