My tribe starve when i am not around!

[Adeptus Lebowski]

If i go to scout a new location and am gone for some time, most of my tribe die instantly when i port back to them if my scout dies. They seem to no be able to feed themselves when i'm not around.

Anmyone else get this? pretty lame if i have to manually feed the whole tribe cause that is far too much work.

The stone grinder is for grinding certain foods. So far works well on horsetails and khat. (really well) :^)

If you want to know how to get honey [SPOILERS]

Alter a piece of Grass to create a stem and dip it in the beehive.

If you want to learn a lot of stuff quickly, look for LuckyN13's "Game Guide/TIPS" thread here.

Everybody's adding new knowledge and Lucky's compiling it there.

In my game - water seems to be more important than food - I found that when I go drink all the other follow and drink - now here is a tip - keep drinking water until all your other monkeys stop even if your green dot filled up. I found that when I stopped when my dot stopped pulsating and I check on other clan members some were still thirsty - Before you off exploring - also make sure you eat. If there isn't enough food - wait til the river ferns respawn or manually feel each member with honey - then go out and explore. Also don't go out too long - a full day is ok but after that could cause your problem.

It's not a bug. The clan's stats (hunger, thirst, sleep) are frozen when you're away from base, but when you're at the settlement they eat, drink & sleep when you do.

If you spend a lot of time at the settlement make sure you eat, drink and sleep well before going out exploring again to top off *their* stats.

Think of it like a big viking feast when the jarl returns from exploring or raiding - everyone wants to celebrate your return and hear about your adventures.

Sounds like a bug to me. Someone who can't eat for himself shouldn't exist in this world.

A game mechanic you don't like isn't a bug.

It's just a game mechanic you don't like.

Once you understand how it works it's very easy to keep everyone healthy and you'll never have another in-settlement death.

It's so incredibly easy to look after your tribe, I really don't understand why some have such a problem with it. How do you keep yourself healthy? Eat a couple of times a day, drink plenty and get enough sleep; you have plenty of practice every real life day to know what to do with your tribe.

Oh, my mistake, I thought being away from your settlement for more than an hour resulting in everyone starving to death would be a bug, however I guess you are right, it is a feature to ensure you never leave your base to explore and therefore never play the game. Thanks for helping me to understand bad game design.

I have regularly left my tribe for 2 days over the course of 5 playthroughs, they've always been fine once I got back. Either your game specifically and somehow is bugged, or you're doing something wrong.

What's this? It could be a bug? Le-gasp!

[Anthracite]

Then report it, but it would have to be a bug specific to you and not me or cougarific, and we all have the exact same game. Complaining here is going to do no good when the devs haven't been here for years.

i had a glitch (i think) where i just randomly died. my ape was already acting strange. at times limping or blinking tons etc. etc. but i was maxed on sleep, food, dopamine and water.
