i've figured out how to drink and discovered 2 tools but i got poisoned ans then it wouldn't let me drink and i couldn't see well enough when i focused to find something with healing properties. google is extremely unhelpful. i am literally beginning you

The start is very frustrating!! In the main menu, “help” is actually a game tips so have a good flick through those. Make sure you are carrying two babies at all times - it doubles the XP you’re collecting so you can develop those neurons that make the basic mechanics of walking/eating etc easier (when changing generations dont forget to make those neurons permanent genetics over taught skills before skipping 15 years)

I recommend this youtube video to get the basics of not-dying:

and also this youtube vide here for exploring tips

TLDR your lifesaving things are:

Your lifebar in the middle - if it’s going red you’re going to die soon from whatever cause so you must lay down and rest and let it return to green. I lost an ape from exhaustion while climbing a cliff for pushing beyond the red.

Poisoned - eat honey or sleep it off

Bleeding - rub honey over yourself, rub mud over yourself, rub horsetail (the reeds near water) over yourself (need to alter it first)

Broken bone - eat horsetail reeds or sleep it off

Food poisoning - drink water or sleep it off. You/your clan members need two hands free to drink.

Predators - nothing can get you in the trees. Need a minimum group of 3 to scare away tigers/crocodiles until you’re able to kill them.

The only health issue that truly kills you if left untreated is bleeding - you will bleed out. All the rest will heal in time provided you don’t keep moving/running about. Switch between your adults to let tired ones have a break!

welllll I don’t like to choose favourites, and this one’s not dinosaur related, but it’s… high on the list of Quality Awful drawings I’ve done:

May I ask how you planted it? Did you have seeds or from a garlic itself??

I don’t know if you can even get garlic seeds per se -- you just break off a clove, especially one that might have a bit of a green tip to it, husk off the papery stuff, and shove it in the ground! :D

I never comment on how bad I think a fic is; I just backspace out of it. It's the fic that's GOOD except for... That's the fic that I want to offer help. And, yes, Sam, I do backspace out of fics for spelling and grammar errors - but generally multiples of them. When I'm spending more time cringing at the errors than I am enjoying the plot, that's a fic I abandon reading.

I mean, I have zero problem with the backspace! I do it myself all the time. I don’t want anyone to think they have to read every fanfic they open, I’m choosy about what I open and then choosier about what I finish. I think that’s the healthiest way possible to interact with fanfic. (Books these days only get fifty pages to impress me before I throw them aside as well :D)

Is the picture from yesterday? It's still pitch dark 10 minutes from the Wis border.

LOL yes it was from yesterday evening. It was still dark out here, too, but the sprouts had grown significantly -- I just didn’t have a good way to light them.

Technically morning! :D

Sarasota Florida would welcome you with open arms and the more profanely terrifying the owl the more we would like it.

It’s going on the shortlist, though I don’t think I could survive a Florida summer...

The outer cape is my hometown, and I can 100% say it would be noticed immediately. Don’t underestimate the local population and how much they see and how quickly news travels. Maybe you can get a concession permit for one of the ocean beaches? I’d rather got to the owl than an ice cream truck!
