I also name the unnamed herb waterleaf, the unnamed glowing blue plant glowroot, and I name the unnamed vine ropevine. Of course.

Are those of us who aren't technically in the game allowed to give advice too?

Go ahead. Let everyone know how much smarter you are than them.

websim.ai is coming dangerously close to being able to run Gridhood. Maybe I'll live to see the day if I exercise, eat right, and somehow convince the world's governments not to nuke everyone.

Well...when you put it like that, it just makes me sound like a douche :P

Those tree climbing creatures at G6 like the golden fruit, and you now might be able to use the snaring plant to build a trap. Possibly one of those things ropes with a loop that are under tension, that will lift them up for easy killing? Otherwise, see if you can research a simple "rock held up by a stick" trap and place a golden fruit under there, hopefully trapping the limb of one of those thieving freaks. Hopefully they have less health than the Yider.

Yeah, I haven't got any good ideas on how to get you out of this hole you've dug yourselves into. Maybe throw a rock at one of the small critters and just eat it raw?

*Tip*
I am trying to be a fair GM, but the things you guys do...

Turn 10
All available food is eaten. Beatrix Purnima and Easter Sunday take 2 starvation damage!

Imic moves to F7 and harvests the farmland and collects 2 love berries. Research begins on Masonry

Beatrix Purnima attempts to expand the farm, but without food being available there are no love berries to plant. Research on cooking resumes. You may want to consider rationing the items you collect if you want to use them specifically for farming.

Asker of Questions decides to pursue the Yider to tile E9 and attacks it with Telekinesis to deal 1 damage. Unfortunately the Yider was too aware that it was being followed and discovered Asker, attacking for 5 damage. This tile appears to contain some caves, one of which the Yider retreats into. There seems to be no path to the west from this location. Research begins on the rope.

Mercifully, Easter Sunday is not able to both break free from the plant and move towards certain death this turn. Easter Sunday attacks the plant and is able to break it apart. 2 unnamed plates and 1 unnamed plant tissue have been collected from the destroyed specimen.

Finsternis Geist searches for Love Berries, and is able to find 1 of them, as well as an unnamed Green berry. Research begins on Advanced Farming. It seems that some prerequisites to much more sophisticated farming methods are missing and this research will take quite a while.

Fair enough, focus on harvesting for now, we'll expand when we stabilize. Continue researching cooking.

Move North and scout scavenge. Eat anything edible that we find, we need to heal.
Keep researching the rope.

Also, a Serial Editor. Just in case, do check my previous post to see if I didn't change or added to it. I do that, a lot...
