You are a tribe of primitive humans. You have to figure out everything. The only thing you start doing is acquiring food. You can acquire any resource you want, but beware - part of your population will have to build it and won't be able to acquire food. If you run out of food, people start dying. Time skips are a constant.

First things first:

> Name your tribe

You have 100 people.

The only thing they do is gather food.

>>6266264

Your current food efficiency is 1.1, meaning on average you get 1.1 food for each person that goes out to gather food.

There will be plenty of ways to increase that food efficiency.

>>6266267

Well, no takers?

So I'm gonna skip a few turns.

/qst/ is slow, especially if your thread seems like a shitpost and/or a poorly thought-out quest. Which yours looks like, no offence. + it's pure write-in, that scares off many.

I'll bite though.

Fair enough, but I'm sticking around for one full thread at least. Threads last what, 60 days? I think I can do it.

>>6266293
>>6266317


guess we can do pottery and bricks.

I'm gonna introduce a Pottery and a Bricks resources.

Then I'll advance it enough until you have enough bricks to build at least one house per turn.

I think 30 units of bricks for a house is enough. I'll add a Housing resource.

>>6266331


Alright, you can't do one house per turn yet, but you do have a few houses.

What you think about we increase the Growth Rate to 2% once everyone has houses? How many houses is that? Let's say 1 housing per population should do.

Okay, you do have some housing, but most of the people remain homeless.

You conform yourself that you will never be able to build enough housing for everyone, if you don't fix the food first.

But by now, you have a big clan already!

QUEST: Increase the Growth Rate to 2% once everyone has houses!

>>6266328
Alright.
>>6266333
Can't be here for the full run of choices which you seem to do rapidly kek, technical difficulties make posting difficult for me, but here's another vote for now:
> Improve efficiency of something (specify)
>Food production. Start planting some wild cereal seeds to FARM and obtain a (relatively) stable source of food.
>Make thatched roofs for houses from straw.

>>6266345

You start a FARMING REVOLUTION with your new wild cereal seeds planting!

You increase food efficiency to 1.5! Incredible!

This speeds up the rate at which you can build shelter for the people, though most people are still homeless.

CRISIS: your population grew too big for your current societal structure! A thousand people leave to form their own settlement far away. They call themselves the Clay. They take about half of your food. (turn 356)

Your housing efficiency increases!

If someone wants to vote for the Clay Clan, just say it. But you can't vote for both.

>>6266350
> Improve efficiency of something (specify)

Make more than one person live in a house.

>>6266411

Housing refer to housing spaces for how many people, it doesn't mean that each person lives in one house, a bunch of housing spaces could be one house equivalent to six or seven housing. It is all very abstract.

But we can improve housing, sure.

>>6266419
>>6266411


After increasing the efficiency of housing by making more tightly packed houses to spend less resources building them, you finally manage to house everyone in your clan!

You still haven't solved the problem that your civilization can't seem to keep more people together than a thousand or two. Perhaps you need to invent some kind of resource for that.
