"The word 'onbu' meant 'piggyback ride' or 'carrying on one's back' - does this mean that we Villagers are the Onbu?"
Audra, Village Philospher

What is the Onbu?
"The Onbu were believed to have gone extinct long ago. Nothing remained but old tales.
This particular individual must have been asleep in the ground itself for hundreds of years. Maybe it awoke from its long slumber because the toxins keep seeping further and further into the earth.
Ancient documents indicate that Onbu usually draw their nutrients from the ground, so it is wondered if it can sustain itself out here? Seems like we need to take care of each other from now on."
Nyoman Village Elder

Onbu Basics
Heart rate 3 beats per minute (bpm) walking, 1.5bpm sleeping. Increases while running.

Poison, hunger (stomach growls loudly takes damage at 100% hunger) , Sleepiness (yawns before sleeps). (at 100% sleepiness Onbu will sleep and ignore commands
Onbu lets out a pained groan.
Wags its tail when happy.
Growls when angry. Then shakes - destroying buildings of every type except ‘indestructible’
Onbu heals naturally at about 1% per minute while resting.
Onbu is dying <20% health
Onbu is dead 0% health.

If Onbu’s toxicity is too high toxic plants will grow on its back as well as the Onbu losing health!

20% appears to be Onbu's threshold for following orders WITHOUT a discipliner. For instance, if Onbu Sleepiness is <20% you won't be able to order it to sleep. Though you will be successful if you order him to lie down long enough for it's sleepiness to be >20% then order it to sleep.

Attempts have yet to be made in the ocean biome - will the Onbu sleep with the fishies?

From the Onbu view you can best guide your Onbu to prosperity!

With trust, and a Hornblower, your Onbu will follow most of its orders.

Lie Down is best used to kill time while waiting for a pathed event.

Walk is awake Onbu's default stance. It's a good idea to use this command to gauge Onbu's trust.

Run will move the Onbu faster at the cost of hunger and tiredness.

Sleep may or may not cause the Onbu to lie down. If it does, it supercedes the lie down command.
Will be ignored if not tired enough.

Eat may be used in case you want your Onbu to eat rocks.

With your Onbu Doctor you can build trust.

If you want trust, you should Pet Onbu whenever possible.
It takes a long time to be able to Pet Onbu again.

Giving the Onbu Antidote and Curing Health also build trust. But cost herbs.

Lastly, Feed Onbu by Trebuchet builds trust.

Timing is important for feeding by Trebuchet is important. The Worker must be present to launch and orders for Onbu to run will be tabled until Onbu is first fed.

Constipators and Laxatives are administered by the Trebuchet.

Exceptions.

The Feeding Pump
The Feeding Pump can be used while Onbu is running or sleeping.

The very act of building this structure damages Onbu and its trust in you. Building it will keep you from obtaining the Onbu Monument.

Feeding Onbu in this way is only accessible trough the Village screen. For the Onbu's sake that remains preferable. Though the Onbu doesn't seem upset when fed this way... it is.

The Onbu Discipliner
Like the Feeding Pump, this building is only accessible through the Village screen.
Unfortunately for the Onbu's sake... that may come at cost.
There are times, for its own sake, that the Onbu should have listened to you. In those rare instances a speedy use of the Discipliner could save the Onbu's life. And the Villagers upon its back.

The construction of this building doesn't hurt the Onbu or its trust in you. But USING it will. And doing so will keep you from obtaining the Onbu Monument.


Also, plan accordingly to use the Onbu Injector as needed!
A properly timed Energy Boost Injection may save your Onbu from falling asleep in the middle of a Spore Cloud!

Mountain.
Cold Temp. Normal Humidity. Standing no toxicity. Lying down Medium Toxicity

A cold area with lots of mineral resources like Iron to scavenge. Quite a few people still live here as toxicity is about average. Though the occasional toxic pollen storm does occur.

With low toxicity and the capability for most of your crops to grow independently this is the EASIEST Biome to survive in.

Jungle.
Normal Temp. High Humidity. Standing low toxicity. Lying down High Toxicity

Dense area covered in forests and full of resources. Only a few people still live here due to the high toxicity and frequent toxic pollen storms.

Despite being able to grow an abundance of crops - the high toxicity makes this the HARDEST Biome to survive in.

Desert.
Hot temp. Arid, No humidity. No toxicity.

Water can be scavenged at Oasis, Sand can be found at Dunes. Few people live here despite the low toxicity and rarity of pollen storms.

No toxicity - but no natural water. If you have enough Berry Bushes this can be an EASY Biome to survive in. If, however you have lots of villagers, this is a HARD Biome.

Ocean.
Temp? No Toxicity
Lots of new buildings!

Desert Islands, Forest Islands, Food Islands, Resting Islands, Fort Ruins

Sometimes Onbu's path leads the Village to events.
Some of these events are unavoidable as they are on Onbu's path all the time.
Many events are 'pathed'. There is a chance that their path and Onbu's will cross, but it has to be at the right time.
A good reason to have your Onbu trained is to make sure you can either avoid or hit some of these events instead of leaving them to chance!

Pathing - solid green or red when Onbu is ON path vs light green or red when Onbu is off path.
Here a Spore Cloud is on the Onbu path.


Here the Spore Cloud is past Onbu's path.


Now Onbu is on the target path so it is solid green, but the threat has passed (it would be solid red if the storm were hitting Onbu)


Onbu Sleeping Spot

Fresh air free from toxins in ANY biome.

Onbu Feeding Spot Mushrooms!

Tasty-Looking stones.

Not a preferred Onbu feeding spot! May cause Onbu to shake with constipation damaging buildings!
Eating these rocks DOES reduce hunger. Feeding Onbu a laxative before eating these rocks DOES NOT prevent constipation!


Crossroads

Needs Hornblower to choose a path. Chosen path becomes highlighted. Only options are North East and South East. 3 minutes to try again if Onbu ignores your command.
Command can be given while Onbu is resting without waking Onbu.

Here the NorthEast path has been chosen as indicated by white highlight.


Nomads


(pathed or in path) - Pick them up or Send them away? 0-3 healthy villagers, 0-3 hungry villagers, and/or 0-3 poisoned people arrive in front of Onbu

Poisoned Nomads 1-3 Poisoned villagers.
The image of these nomads is the same as those who aren't poisoned.
Healthy, Hungry, or Poisoned

Pathed Light/Medium/Strong Thunderstorm (mountains)

Might damage fragile to strong buildings.

Pathed Light/Medium Sandstorm (desert).

Might damage fragile to strong buildings.

Pathed Small/Medium/Giant Spore Cloud (jungle/mountain)

increases toxicity by 1 level and spawns poisonous plants on Onbu’s back. Spores eat through road and can spread and poison Onbu

Short/Medium Cold snap (mountain)

Temperature drops to Freezing


Short/Medium Heatwave (desert)

Temperature rises to Torrid.


Scorching Sand (desert)

Torrid heat and Onbu takes damage.


Poison Forest (jungle)


Increased toxicity and will spawn poisonous plants. Very High toxicity on air and ground.

Large Poison Forest (jungle)


As above except worse.


Mysterious Formation - Unique poison forest without spores found around day 100. Unavoidable.

NEW: Rainclouds

The Nyomans are a group of people that used to reside in a peaceful well protected valley. They had to leave their village many years ago because of a strong wind that carried in a flurry of toxic pollen. Since then, they have been wandering the land as nomads, resting where they could. Now the young ones don’t remember what their home was like anymore. Their ultimate goal is to find a new place to settle down. In a fateful encounter they meet Onbu.
From History of the Nyoman


16 Population at start

Population Level 0-19. Basic
Needs - tent housing for all villagers.
1 tent per 2 villagers.
Tents are all you need to satisfy productivity 100%

Population Level 20-29. Camp
New Needs - One Processed food and 2 food type for all villagers.
Villagers want to eat at least 2 refined foods in every five meals.
Consumption 20/villager (max productivity 104%)

Population Level 30-49. Settlement
New Needs Hut housing. Two food types + 1 processed food.
Villagers want to live in huts and demand 3 refined foods and at least 2 different types of food in every five meals

Population Level 50+. Village
New Needs: Cottage Housing. 3 food types. 2 Processed food.
Cottages and to eat at least 4 refined foods and 3 different types of food in every five meals

Growing your population
As of this update, the only way your population may increase is through encounters. It is presumed the Mountain Biome will be the most populated but this is unconfirmed.
Villagers have currently prioritized building their nurseries for trees instead of younglings.

This has been entirely reworked with new updates!
Updates coming soon here!


Productivity is villager speed.
Initially each poisoned villager gives you -0.5% Each Badly Poisoned Villager gives you -1%
Starving villagers gives you -1%.
As your population grows, the impact of poisoned and/or starving villagers diminishes
Meeting or exceeding villager needs improves productivity. Even beyond 100%

Status effects will improve this up to 30%
Roads will increase productivity, but this won't be listed in the top right of graph.

"From Onbu come all things. Except villagers."
Village folk saying



Stone Sources
Onbu spikes (30 Stone) spawn anywhere (Onbu grumbles unhappily - can’t get Onbu monument)
stones(3 Stone)
boulders (200 Stone) spawn on dirt

Wood Sources
Tree (3 Wood)
Large Mother tree (3-15 Wood), later supplies saplings
Giant Trunk (200 Wood) spawn on grass

Berries

Mushrooms
Mushrooms (1 Mushroom) if you DON’T harvest them it appears that they are absorbed into the Onbu as food. Spawn on dirt.

Extra Building Notes:
If a non storage building has resources and it is disabled - villagers will take from it to active buildings. This can be dangerous if you have multiple Decontaminators/Village Doctors and only one active - inactive buildings will be plundered!

"These are Onbu tracks!"

Priority should be given to sites west and north if you are trying to get EVERY site scavenged.
The closer Onbu is to sites on the world map, the less time it takes to scavenge those sites.
The time formula is based on Onbu's current position, if Onbu gets closer to scavenge site it will not speed up the time it takes to scavenge the site.
A Scout Tower is invaluable at all stages of the game.

Beginning with the end in mind, your farm locations may be the most important aspects of your in game play.

Farming is a reliable way to adequately feed all of the Villagers and provide to their needs.
Water is required for all crops except Cactus.
Fertilzer will boost crop efficiency by 75%
Growth will only occur in optimal or sub-optimal temperatures.
Decomposition will occur in all other temperatures.

You can micromanage your farms in by setting them to plant only (and thereby later increase yield) or harvest only (to save what crops you can in extreme temperatures)

Crops
Wheat
1 Water required.
Optimal temperature: Normal
Sub-optimal temperature: +/- 1

Wheat is the MOST productive crop from which to feed the Villagers. If you have both the research, building, and worker capacity for it.
At a 2:1 ratio of consumable per crop Wheat is the king of Village crops.
Bread is also used to help events in scavenging so should be stockpiles.

Tomato
3 Water required.
Optimal temperature: Normal
Sub-optimal temperature: +1

Tomato is the fasting growing crop to feed the Villages. But it does come at the highest water cost.
This is the optimal crop to stock up on and farm in the Jungle Biome.
Though it can grow in the desert, the high water cost makes Tomato a risky option.

Cactus
No Water required.
Optimal temperature: Hot-Torrid

Cactus should be planted BEFORE your water reserves run out.
If you plan on being in the Desert Biome for a long time they MAY be a necessity if you run low on herbs.

Corn
1 Water required
Optimal temperature: Hot
Sub-optimal temperature: +1

Corn is the LEAST productive crop.
At a 1:1 ratio for processing this food into Polenta, the only reason to switch your Kitchens over would be in case of Villager happiness or storage limitations.
So why Corn?
Corn is the ONLY food that can be farmed in Torrid temperatures and only uses 1 water making it an ideal crop in combination with Cactus in the Desert Biome.
Keep your eyes and ears out for heatwaves!

Beet
2 Water required
Optimal temperature: Normal
Sub-optimal temperatures: -1 to -2

Beets, after Berries, are your stable food source. You don't need to research them, and at a 5:3 ratio they provide an abundance of food with a Kitchen.
Beets are the ONLY food that can be farmed in Freezing temperatures. Make sure you are ready for those cold snaps!

Herb
1 Water required
Optimal temperature: Normal
Sub-optimal temperatures: +/- 1

But wait! There is no Herb farm! No. But the Herbalist functions entirely the same, excepting that it is currently the Herbalist's only crop option.
Herbs are among the most vital Resource in the game used by Village Doctors, Onbu Doctor, and Scavengers to save lives.

Mushroom
1 Water required
Optimal temperature: Normal
Sub-optimal temperatures: +/- 1

Like the Herbalist, the Mycologist functions as a farm with the only crop function being Mushroom. What is unique about this crop is that it is the ONLY crop that can be farmed on Dirt and the Only crop that can be harvested from Onbu without farming.
It is a good idea to start this farm early as it takes lots of Mushrooms to feed the Onbu!

The Kitchen can be set to make a number of known recipes. Depending on the location of the Kitchen production can be significantly affected.

Recipes

Berry Muesli
At a 3:5 ratio for food process, this is going to be a common meal. So common, in fact, that it appears to be the LEAST preferred meal among the Villagers.

Beet Soup
At a 3:5 ratio this is likely going to be the staple Villager meal. The Villagers can depend on growing Beets enough to feed the Village from almost ANY Onbu back.

Grilled Tomato
At a 3:4 ratio this isn't the most efficient meal. But it is the most tasty of options in the Desert if it can be afforded!

Polenta
At a 3:3 (1:1) ratio this is the LEAST efficient meal on the Onbu. But it still is preferable to just Corn. Alas, there is no way to obtain butter on this post apocalyptic world!

Black Pudding
At a 2:6 ratio this COULD be argued as the MOST efficient meal the Onbu provides. In fact, harvesting Onbu Blood doesn't even require a worker. And one could build more than one Extractor if so inclined.
What an apocalyptic world to even think of such a thing!

Petting Zoo
With just a little research (1 Knowledge Point) and an Onbu Doctor, you too can have your own petting zoo!

Difficulty: EASY

Spa Day
This Achievement requires a bit of planning. Onbu Food, Herbs, and a cooperative Onbu are required.
This can be accomplished with just one Trebuchet and one Onbu Doctor. Onbu doesn't need to be poisoned or injured for it to be healed and detoxed.

Difficulty: MEDIUM

Dry Spell
This Achievement is best accomplished with a low Village population where primary food source is Berries. Obtainable in same game as Master Gatherer Achievement.
While an easy goal, it takes 100 days to obtain, therefore gets a higher difficulty rating.

Difficulty: MEDIUM

The Wandering Metropolis
This is among the most difficult Achievements. It requires patience as it will take more than 100 days, planning, skill, and luck.
This Achievement can be earned on Veteran difficulty, but certain Onbu generations with lots of grass instead of dirt will make it more practical.
Lots of food and Herbs will be required to survive to 500.

Difficulty: HARD

The Wandering City
This Achievement can be earned in the same game as The Wandering Metropolis.

Difficulty: MEDIUM.

Fore!
Research Onbu Feeding Trebuchet, grow some Mushrooms, make some Onbu Food.
Aim.
Fire.

Difficulty: EASY

Berry Good
Initial Berry Gatherer efficiency will be shown in the process of placing a building. A lucky seed may provide this Achievement on Day 1. If not, patience and pruning will earn this badge. Harvest anything that isn't a Berry Bush that grows inside the Berry Gatherer's radius and ensure no buildings are built inside that radius.

Difficulty: MEDIUM

Master Gatherer
Best accomplished in a game with low Villager count and a reasonably decent Onbu seed. Good to try and earn Dry Spell as it complements this Achievement.

Difficulty: MEDIUM

Full Body Shave
Sharpen those axes! It is unclear if Giant Trunks count as trees for this Achievement. However, even if they are required, this Achievement can be accomplished well before the 100 day mark.

Difficulty: EASY

Doki Doki Waku Waku
Beating heart onomatopoeia. Though other meanings might be construed...
Getting the Onbu's heartrate to increase is as easy as getting it to run for a period of time.
Even easier with an Energy Booster.

Difficulty: EASY

Strict Diet
This Achievement requires quite a bit of luck. Sometimes an Onbu Feeding Spot won't show up in time. Sometimes it will take too to research and build a Feeding Pump as an alternative.
Keep a regular count of Trebuchet uses and turn a blind eye to Onbu's health to get this Achievement.

Difficulty: HARD

Agricultural Revolution
This is possibly the most annoying Achievement. It is best obtained with a low population as building... anything is going to prove difficult.
Pay attention to use of Harvesting tool. Always have it selected to Trees or Rocks ONLY.
Pay attention to building placement. Buildings placed on Berry Bushes will harvest those bushes.
Good luck!

Difficulty: HARD

Unfortunate Son
This Achievement can be gained on accident. It might be easier to gain it that way than on purpose...

Difficulty: EASY

Parasite
With a little bit of research and a little bit of disregard for the Onbu this Achievement is easily obtainable.

Difficulty: EASY

*SPOILER ALERT*

Monumental
Make it to day 100 to unlock this building. Then build it. Storing up Glass and Iron will make this easier.

Difficulty: MEDIUM

Our Friend and Protector
This is perhaps the hardest Achievement to obtain. Possibly because the exact requirements are unlisted. What can be stated with confidence is that doing ANYTHING that will lower Onbu's trust will void this Achievement.
Ensure the Onbu is well fed and happy and hasn't lost trust by day 100 to get this Achievement.

Difficulty: HARD

The Light of Human Intellect
Like the Our Friend and Protector Achievement, the exact requirements are unlisted.
What can be stated with confidence is that the Onbu must be unhappy.
Ensure the Onbu is unhappy by day 100 to get this Achievement.

Difficulty: Medium
