One Hour One Life Forums

Hey, I'm from that town north of where you were living.  Was watching part of your stream when you came up there.
My other friend dropped you off that water pouch as a good will gesture.
Thanks for cleaning up the remnants of our bodies

Its not impossible to deal with, its actually easier due to the settings on this server, there is always a group of pro people hanging around with a stashed knife and bow
to deal with the kids that were molested and take it out on the internet types.

There is a troll problem that is for sure.

I don't understand why they just kill players?

Why not empty all the pounds?

Why not kill the non-family rabbits?

Why not pick the milkweed early?

Tons of other things to ruin the game that last much longer than just killing a rando.

With people like this it makes you start to not care about the next generation that much, so
might as well be selfish cause you are probably going to have a troll show up and ruin everything anyways.

If the goal is to advance society, these people are there to cause the opposite, so why even try?

Right, but making a shovel in time without having to starve half the new kids to death is sort of the issue.
It seems I was able to get a small village going, but it was impossible to have more than five people with half
making food, so that only one or two gets to craft.  Which is fine, but making the iron is you need in time is tricky.

After playing a full life in the new patch now, it seems farming is a bad idea.

UNLESS you have someone grab seeds so you don't seed up your carrots, so the soil is renewable again, farming is mostly pointless.

Otherwise you are depleting the area of soil, and might as well be cutting the milk weed while its early, cause it has that same effect.

I think I'm taking a break from the game for a while until its re-balanced, I don't like having to starve all my babies and explain to them why I have to do it.
Mostly what drew me to the game was being nice and teaching others, but now there is no time to do that, just starvation for most, and slim survival for the rest.
And if that was the goal, well done I guess.  Would be nice to have a flourishing food supply so we can play with the new items in the game, but good luck finding time to do that now.

The good news is due to mass starvation,
you will no longer see random trolls coming in destroying your flourishing community.
Mainly cause they starved to death, and you will also not flourish.

Sure, kids fetch baskets of berries, the further from the town the better.
Their tummies are too small to do much else.  When they get bigger, they should get water and soil or seed.
And only in the later ages should one start crafting things I would think.

Woman pretty much have to do the baby thing, but now with the changes, you gotta let many more of them die.
You have to literally only keep like three or you are doomed.  Two boys and a girl is a good combo, as long as the girl survives.
And in the later ages, women can craft and do more advanced things, but the second they start having babies, they aren't going to stop.
So if you raise just a few well, and apologize to the ones that will die, you are freed up to do a bit of helping yourself.

So its not just age that is a factor in what jobs you do, but also gender.

Scratch all that, get a bow and arrow first, if you get well fed and things are going well, some rando will show up with a bow and kill off
your whole family in seconds.  After you got that on hand, then do the other things.  Cause preparing for the future starts with
stopping the trolls more than making sure the next generation has a better life, because more often than not,  if you are doing well
and everything seems fine, that is when they strike.

Thanks for the update!
Any info about the invisible player thing?  Its like ghosts man, scary stuff, lol.

You might already know this, but very useful info here.

If you find an empty pound or accidentally empty it yourself,
put water back into it, and it will start refilling automatically again.

On about five occasions, I see this happen, either as the mother, or as the grandpa, and rush off to find food to feed the baby if possible, especially if its a female
for lineage reasons.  One time the mother died picking up a baby, and i fed her until she could feed herself.  Feels good man.

This is a good idea too, its common for people to eat a berry when in transit while having other food with them to save the better food for the journey's end.
So it shouldn't effect the normal players at all, I think maybe the lack of an indicator that you are over eating is even better, that way they don't know what the
limit is and just push the envelope, eating however often they can absolutely get away with when doing this.

Good idea!

I like hearing everyone's responses, some good suggestions I think!
