Main question is do I have modern knowledge or not?
If yes - then apply everything I know from primitive technology and education. Will try to reach some level of progress, probably will be able to get to steam machines and telegraph in one lifetime.
If no - then will be just strolling with everyone and enjoying nature as usual.
How? You'd need metallurgy for that
Develop whatever language exists, find methods of timekeeping and recording history. I vaguely remember something about the first humans getting eaten a lot so maybe my priorities are in the wrong place
I'm not sure that you meant born because everyone is taking it too literally and it doesn't help make a decent question.
Document everything I can think of for future people and put it in a place that someone will find out but is not that open to be degradation.
I know how impossible this sounds.
As a new born I guess:
I suppose next would be die because of the infant mortality rate
Tits, self relief and death? Thatβs one more thing than Iβm guaranteed at the moment, where do I sign up?
Look around for some andesite, granite, or flint, and copper. Use those to make tools. Instantly get promoted to the top of the human monkey group because I "know magic" of fire and stone. I'm an apprentice smith.
Probably spend the rest of my life making one of those Roman 12 sided smithing test things that historians can't figure out what it is.
Cry, poop, or do other newborn stuff. But what else do babies actually do? π
Obvious first question, are we friends with dogs yet?
ok I am gonna get in on that shit wayyy ahead of the curve/maybe probably be eaten by dire wolves
Do horses too.
Horse 2
Now has extra integrated saddle
A human can ride horse 1 without a saddle.
saddle is dlc on horse 1 tho lol you can't even find horse 1 saddle in dungeon chests
Saddle can be found in Barns and the like. You're just not looking in the right chests. Of course you're not going to find one if you're looking in a dungeon chest!
bro are these all fake images then!?
No, we're talking about a different game
The game is called The Hustle
It's a lot like the Sims.. but you don't get to control anyone, and the graphics are better.
The Simps?
and the graphics are better.
Maybe it is just because I haven't played past the first noobie questing hub yet... but are they actually better for most people's playthroughs?
With benefits. One drought and they're a kebab.
Enjoy the fact that capitalism won't exist for another couple hundred millenia
Feudalism was worse, and despotism was even worse than that.
We got like 220k years to spare. We're good.
Find other humans and try to kill them all. Then kill self. Earth breathes a sigh of relief!
Wait no ! once you've killed everybody else you can live out the rest of your life knowing you cannot reproduce.
Not sure how accurate my memory of the modern world map would be for that far back but depending on "where I spawned in" I would try and migrate to like ideal farmland or somewhere I know is good to build up.
If I was near Iberia I'd probably try for Cordoba.... Western America, I'd go for San Francisco or anywhere near Lake Tulare... I'm sure there's more than I am remembering right now.
I wouldn't have to worry about organized religion having immense crusades and could carve out a little kingdom.
Try to make a modest "fortress" out of ashlar blocks or anything I can make primitively. Try to find a way to record as much "hints" towards technological progress for my descendants to follow.
Fertilizer, Germs, Animal Husbandry, Public Works (Dams), Canning, Gunpowder (not idea of gun just explosives, but they'll probably weaponize it), steam power, oil, electricity, refrigeratation, concept of computers.
It'll probably just have to be drawings but if I can find a cool gal and learn her language enough to roll with it then it'll just have to be that, No point in writing it in English.
If I can actually get to the point of building a steam/wobbler engine that would probably be my life goal.
Throw in ancient technologies that are cool like Yakchals(?) and what not to actually survive to that point.
You'd have fun with Vintage Story.
Survive, get that weird fruit and have sex.
And to go to "there", it seems nice "there", why shouldn't we go "there"? It doesn't have other people "there".
People long ago are not that different from us, like people from the middle ages, they acted like us now because they ARE like us now.
There's no real evidence that people are smarter today than they were 5000 years or so ago. We just have more knowledge/technology.
do some weird ass draws on walls stuff
confused unga bunga
Cool because I was going to say murder the inventer of the wheel and steel the idea.
Jerk it
Food, water, shelter, sleep?
Drill, drill, drill!
End the human race before it gets out of hand. Like humans do animals animals or non-western people. today.
You couldn't because.. and this is just a guess here.. there were so few humans that you wouldn't meet anyone outside of family
KMS then.
Find a nice waterfall and build a hut by it
Go with the gatherers, fuck the hunters, it better be someone else who ends up eaten by Saber-Toothed Tigers.
You're born female.
Take a nap.
