One Hour One Life Forums

The problem first is storage, the decay system just made storage a huge problem.

The second problem is with iron, every generation they became more and more with an iron problem. Hoes break so much fast. It's funny that knifes don't break and we have a problem with murderers. "Son, this knife was from your grandpa who killed hundreds of people, keep his legacy".

The third problem is that we can't replant trees.

Without iron and wood you can't do anything. So that ancient walls are just ruins of an ancient kingdon.

This is a problem, server will became with desert areas that everyone will just avoid. Making the game map huge without reason.

I think that slow dying everyone is not the right way. You should focus in enemies and things to do, like exploring to find gold or other resources (not the basic ones), buildings that is insanely hard to do but really usefull like some ceiling (with 50-100 straight branchs to make one).

Monuments are a really good idea. But the bell now is just from a dead city.

If people could replant trees, but is slow. Would be ok. Like 2-3 hours to be fully grow.

I am pointing problems, it's not my opnion it's my perspective.

LOL, I told only about carrots because of the flux. But do you really need a full spectrum of difficulties?

Plates, Bowls, Iron, Coal, MilkWeed/Hope/Thread, Fur, Tools (even wooden tongs, flint stone, sharp stone, stone), Needle, Seeds, Food. That will be lost in rotten baskets.

And now all the rotten/broken itens.

Let's do boxes to store all. Let me see, 4 milkweed to do a rope, that regrow 1h later.

I know, that was a past problem. 1 hour is good if it wasn't the default storage system.

I already told you. Problem is: shortage of iron and wood, lack of storage and so many repetitive useless tasks.

Iron and wood in the current version will make desert cities who can't restart. And storage/repetitive useless tasks make people just feel useless.

That's why all the rage, everything you do feel pointless in a large scale.

Sorry about my english, I'm not angry, I just can't write good sentences in english so I need to stay short or everyone will not understand me.

You should play a little more to see what they talk about. What are you say looks teorical and not from a perspective from who played this update.

The game is not that hard. But the way that decay system is currently makes it about grind. There is many faults that people keep talking about, like when he put baskets to decay 30min (that was insane) but you only can see it if you play.

Now tools broke, but iron is limited. No city will last for at least 4-5 consecutive generations now. Every 1 hour all baskets will be gone, and resources will be lost, there is no way to store. Think about it, each carrot farm produces 5 carrots per soil with 1 hole of fertile soil you get at least 5 soil to farm. It's 25 carrots for each 4min.

If you can't see it, you need to play a little. You will see multiples cities failing overtime and itens everywhere.

"This game is about playing one small part in a much larger story." -> but you part is useless, because no one will keep a failed city.

"This game is also about family trees. Having a mother who takes care of you as a baby, and hopefully taking care of a baby yourself later in life. And your mother is another player." -> Or people abondon children because they can't sustain everyone or everyone die because there is many people and camp is not advanced yet

"Building something to use in your lifetime, but inevitably realizing that, in the end, what you build is not for YOU, but for your children and all the countless others that will come after you." -> Realy? My cloths will be gone, my baskets, tools, handcarts, backpacks and I will dry out everything in the surrounds: stone, iron, wood. Not because someone screw up, it's because the game is now like this.

This part is hilarious now:

"Proudly using your grandfather's ax, and then passing it on to your own grandchild as the end of your life nears." -> Grandfather's ax yeah right....

I think it's ok to baskets decay, they are so important, and you can get early in game.

But the catch is, we need a replacement, maybe a clay pot that works like basket and don't decay? I talked in another topic about it, like 2 clays and smash it with stone (lol).

But clay are almost finite, I think we could use some kind of wooden barrel to stock items like: seeds, carrot, berries, meat.... (only 1 per time, barrel of carrots for example) It could be made with iron and wood. And could stock 12~20 like boxes with baskets or better.

And like boxes, we can't move it.

The other problem is: decay make so many garbage and we can't recicle or destroy most of it. We could drop it all in fire to keep some fire.

People kill because they are bored of farming and making stuff.

There is no major threat to unite then. If you have a rome empire the big problem is to deal with food but rome empire declined (and many others like WW2) especialy from outsiders attacks, rome empire from barbarians. If there was some way to make people harder and make then protect thenselves, the grief/murderer rate will be boring, killing some unarmed farms in the city is boring.

Imagine if there was monsters, barbarians, attacking the city, would be awesome and will make people unite. I had a recent suggestion about it. (family grave)

To make a battle system, would be better if there is at least 3 states or "hearts", and then you can apply something to be better. 2 hearts you could got slower and hungrier, 1 hearts more.

Then could do something like armor to get less damage, like someone give 3 damage, insta kill, with armor reduce to 2, better armor reduce more, at minimum of 1. This could be way more in future, bronze age (but there is no bronze lol)

I loved when i became a carpinter and made many hand carts to all "city".

Was so proud about it, many people using my carts everywhere.

The beginning problem with decay is especialy from baskets. They are hard to make.

2 Tule Reeds respawn after 1 hour and 1 basket decay after 30min.
2 Wheat, waste 2 soil to make 1 basket.

And you need wheat and reed to make another things like compost, adube. This is all insane, not sustainable, and we can't go nomads, there is no food for everyone.

Some ideas:

1) 1 basket from 2 reeds and they decay after you could do 2 more (basket decay 1h, reeds respawn 30min)

2) We could use something like a clay pot that works like a basket (maybe 2 clays + and smash it with stone), that would make clay expansive and that's awesome for expeditions. But if clay don't respawn will be another problem. People lost many plates and pies are the best food, we could grab only pie and leave plates there.
