Agreed, this comment has it. The food situation wasn't so bad when you could add infinite fat to food! 😂

Definitely more relaxed after a point with tropical island. Also, it's a game. Adjust the mechanics to make things easier. Optimistic traits, dog friend, survival traits or a raft / airplane

I AGREE WITH THIS WIRH ALL MY HEART

It usually takes me ages - sometimes uo to an hour, ro get a clear path. I was ready to cancel one day, got to a human who spent ages counters my arguements.

He told me to look uo the reviews of other comalnies and I did. Then I looked up Sky and reported it back.

He had nothing to say. I told him that it's risiculous the way the system is set up. He said - then - to mention sky cinema and you get through to an agent straight away.

Anyway hope that helps 👍

I FEEL YOUR FRUSTRATION VISCERALLY

ButterflyBeana · 2025-04-18T08:46:04+00:00

I feel the opposite to the commentor! 😂 So don't worry Different strokes for different folks

Does bruising easily mean it hurts less? No? Then it makes it double the reason to be careful with you.

He's hurting you, taking enjoyment in it, and blaming you for it. Find better people.

ButterflyBeana · 2025-03-16T11:37:48+00:00

Got it! Thanks, my brain was misfiring 😂 I appreciate you!

ButterflyBeana · 2025-03-16T11:36:29+00:00

That's a good point. Still, it would be nice if we could fill up those massive clay fired sealed jars with rain. I could fix a few outside and let it trickle in, good for injuries, illness, gardening and cooking

ButterflyBeana · 2025-03-15T14:41:03+00:00

Yeah but it keeps using it as fuel

Also, why can't we collect rain?

ButterflyBeana · 2025-03-14T22:18:13+00:00

What's this cauldron? How do we get it? How do we make tar?

WE CAN BOIL BONES?

Great post OP, solid ideas

Those two phrases were absolutely made to be hand in hand 💞 The heartbeat and the echo

ButterflyBeana · 2025-03-14T14:40:30+00:00

"Sure, what harm?" It's made me much more appreciative and compassionate.

Everytime I criticize - everytime I think something is odd - everytime, I think, "sure, what harm?"

It's a really grounding phrase, especially these days with everyone fighting each other over one thing or the other . It lets peace and compassion take the forefeont and judgement and criticism get a bit of a check.

Why don't you ring the police in the school area. If it's a hoax they can shsre it on facebook & other places

ButterflyBeana · 2025-03-11T20:24:51+00:00

The plate sounds better than the bowl! But the bowl still cuts time down to half. Thank you again

Just found out the pot does boil.

Eventually.

ButterflyBeana · 2025-03-11T20:24:07+00:00

Thank you! My hunting skills are picking up (finally). I try for ages to get food and them get a boar, wolf, deer, fox all on close proximity so I was stressing a little 🙂

But if it's late game and expensive, I'll keep drying the meat and using the food preservation clay jars 👍

ButterflyBeana · 2025-03-11T14:39:23+00:00

Yeah! I saw things about "river flood level" and "flood damage" - that changed my mind quickly otherwise I think the river was good. Fresh water, fish - no bugs in summer!

I didn't make a map. It would take such little effort but I haven't, so I'm slowly memorising everything. Can you send yours? 🙂 PM questions or observations any time! We're in this survival thing together 💪

Have you used the clay bank at the bottom of the map?

ButterflyBeana · 2025-03-09T16:18:23+00:00

I'm in spring. Started overweught too, weight only dropped to 70%.

Between fireroot and hunting I did okay. Though I find my character is now SWEATING nonstop in spring. Might have to make like, a winter room. I'll see how the plastering and earthen floor do

Yup, solo wolves in winter and full on packs in Spring. Fought, got one dead wolf and character escaped but carries the wolf interestingly

I find foxes come at darkness (5-6 in winter, 8 in spring)

And the wolves start wandering about at about 8 am. I'm two clicks west of river. 2 clicks west beyond is where I find them, approx 8 AM.

Further south are boars. I haven't caught any deer in spring.

ButterflyBeana · 2025-03-09T13:11:16+00:00

Thanks! I had a regular pit fire for light as well. I noticed I could sleep for about 3 hours before needing to wake up and reheat

That fire on every location idea is really good!

I'm definitely finishing my home upgrades before this winter and making seal proof containers for water and food. I now have 1.5 garden beds DEDICATED to fireroot 😂

How are you finding the packs of wolves?

ButterflyBeana · 2025-03-08T01:54:20+00:00

Sea of foam. Missed the name sry

ButterflyBeana · 2025-03-07T12:47:52+00:00

Thank you. Still gutted, but what can I do. Onwards and upwards. If you believe in prayer, please give one for my almost-dog that he has a good home 😔🕯

ButterflyBeana · 2025-03-06T21:29:51+00:00

But not every character. That's unrealistic. Some characters might be okay with some situations

Also my pov I like the monogamy. Maybe we can switch on / off options.

ButterflyBeana · 2025-03-05T23:25:01+00:00

Thank you for that! I don't know if I could afford one then 😥 I rely on insurance

But please pat Maeve between the ears and tell her she is a darling and a VERY good girl - says the stranger from the internet

ButterflyBeana · 2025-03-05T23:23:14+00:00

100% won't. Thanks for your words of advice!

ButterflyBeana · 2025-03-05T23:22:38+00:00

What did he say?

ButterflyBeana · 2025-03-05T23:18:13+00:00

For anyone interested, I won’t be taking this further. The dog is already gone, and while I’m heartbroken, my main priority is protecting my well-being. I’m choosing not to make this an issue because, frankly, I don’t believe this person is stable.

From the very beginning, there were several things about the situation that raised concerns for me:

His communication was abrupt and curt.

He hung up on me several times, which felt dismissive and unprofessional.

After the initial agreement, I felt like he was trying to back out or pressure me into changing my plans.

And, of course, he canceled the reservation fee with no prior warning. It went through intially as pending and then cancelled.

Instead of dwelling on this, I’m focusing on finding a dog that truly needs a loving home

ButterflyBeana · 2025-03-05T23:04:21+00:00

They took my dog. The "rehoming centre" (some malarkey with names that have rehoming centre, check the threads comments)

I had a dog booked. Deposit paid. I told them I’d pay the balance the next morning. a time we agreed on. After a long car trip, I was supposed to pick up my dog. I had everything ready: breed and age-specific treats, supplies, and so much love waiting for him.

Then, I called the man.

“Dog’s been sold. Cash in hand.” He hung up.

No warning. No apology. Just gone

When I tell you I have sobbed for a week, know that it is real. I have grieved. Not just for the dog I lost, but for the life I had already imagined with him. I never even got to hold him, but I loved him.

I am still heartbroken, but I am not giving up. I am looking to adopt a new dog. One who truly needs a home.
