Does this happen when the server is running and there are no people on it? My friend and I are playing on a private server and he turns the server off every time we stop playing. It must be for this reason and for the whole seasons thing. However I would have assumed that the world does not progress while there are no active connections.

Thank you, for now this will get me enough lime. I just need to process my few pelts that I have. WOW that is much farther than I expected. I don't think I have gone that far yet. When I get up the courage I will venture out even farther and hope for chalk or lime!!

So I'm pretty new and have no idea where to get lime. I can see it comes from limestone, chalk, and marble stones; however, WHERE ARE THEY?!? I have wandered vast distances both to the west and east and all there is anywhere is peridotite. Alternatively it looks like borax would do what I need but I also don't know where to find that. All I want is to prep these hides before they go bad. Thanks ahead of time!!

I don't know the names or how to look it up, but the area feels like a savannah. It's very aired and I've only found one small pond. I don't know the temp since I don't have a thermometer or other way of telling. Yesterday, I did start a new save and I absolutely got a better start. I spawned on medium fertility soil and tons and tons of wild crops. It's so far not been difficult to grow the crops or find food. I think my assumption is that I just got a rather horrible spawn for my first game.

Woah! sweet find!! thank you for sharing!

I definitely do not have a handle on setting up a baseline food supply. I feel like I'm constantly starving and can never store anything I find (foraged or hunted). My crops also don't seem to be growing this may be due to my misunderstanding of soil fertility. I used low fertility soil since all I can find is that and barren soil. I just assume that better soil is made or fertilizers are required. So I do feel like restarting a few times and trying to nail down farming might be a smart idea. I also might have made a mistake in rushing forward in technology instead of getting enough food set up. I already have a good amount of copper and am looking for tin. That is absolutely my first goal! I am still confused on the lengths of time? how long is a day, a month, a year?

That's Amazing congratulations. I'm new too and this is the same feeling I got when I first found copper! I can't imagine the pain of finding iron.

I just started playing 2 days ago and have spent a few hours each day playing. In addition, I've been scouring the wiki while at work. All I can think about is what to do next! I'm only like 5 hours in and am wondering if I should restart. I feel much more prepared for the experience and challenges presented to me. Before I made poor and uniformed decisions, but if I start over I can make better ones. When you started playing did you feel the same? Should I start a new world or continue with this one? I'm worried I will run out of food before it is too late!!
