I'm in year 7 right now and am grinding my science stat to develop mathematics.

I fall goes well, I hope to establish a stable government by year 10.

I love this type of game

but I can't figure out what I'm supposed to do to not starve my kittens

I've tried 3 times and as soon as I make my second hut my catnip gets wasted as heck and they starve no matter how much I tried to save up or how many fields I made

=/

The first couple years are pretty brutal. You need to put everything into fields for awhile. I lost everyone the first two winters until I figured out how to balance it.

OOOH WINTER

I didn't understand why it was suddenly -75%

cool cool alright winter number two lets do this

When you have wood, it's helpful to put it into a library because the first science thing you unlock is weather + calendar. It makes planning so much easier.

YES that changed everything XD

I'm excited to get things more established because the list of things you can do in the wiki is bonkers: Main page - Kittens Game wiki

Ziggurats! Unicorn pastures!

oh my god I just realized I just spent like three hours managing a kitten village

I NEED TO PAUSE THIS AND CONSIDER MY LIFE CHOICES. This might possibly be too addictive to be good for me :3

Yeah, I'm trying to limit myself to one year of kitten time at a go. There's just so many variables to watch tick up.

I'm kind of glad that it seems you can't have an account to log into? Otherwise I could see myself trying to do this at work on off times, and lol no

I did like 20 years or something last night… got my kitten science up to currency and writing, have like 15 kittens, 5 barns, 50 fields. It's kind of interesting deciding what goals to go for tho! That is

what got me sucked in.

I took your advice and did ONLY fields and gathering for like the first year or so, and at first was clicking on "gather catnip" like a mad person… but now I don't need to click it at all!

I had like five libraries even when I only had 2 kittens <3

I am excited about the Shark embassy that visited my kitten people but have as of yet not done anything about them; I figure that it's better to slowly grow the town and prosperity

I have not done writing yet! I went with engineering and architecture first and it unlocked so many other options that I'm a little overwhelmed. But I have aqueducts now! That's pretty keen.

i am intentionally tring not to click this link b/c i'm sure if i do i will get ttly addicted lol

Yeah I'm going to have to block the site during my working hours I think. I just really, really like watching numbers.

I finally found a unicorn. There's now an achievements tab! I am content for the moment.

oh god this stupid game is eating my life
