I have a same feeling. In the Torch Town, I made a cemetery for my friend, she was also a hero of our family. Someone wanted to rebuilt the dead town and stole all the gravestones for a pointless road.
The onemap recorded their behavior:
https://onemap.wondible.com/#x=-575023& … 1706682000
Click the "animated" in left bottom and then click the play button. You can see what they did.
At the end, someone found that and saved some graves. Many people came back to here for their memories. I can't imagine how they feel grieved when they see that.
I would guess after the steam release.
Yes, he played this game in steam.
If this game can be sold in different language at steam, I think we can have more player.
I mean maybe Jason can release different language vertions in steam. It will attract more players from non English speaking countries.
When I was playing this game in early days, I experienced some close call moments. Sometime our family had fewer and fewer members. When a girl who was the only fertile person bore another girl, we felt exciting. When our family died out due to infertility, it became a impressing and regretful story.
As I play more and more times, I find that this situation is too frequantly. When I have made a road leading to our family, my family almost die out. When I have brought some resource from wild, my family almost die out. When I was farming..... (I am sorry to my poor English, but I think you can understand what I am saying.)
When the close call becomes a common situation, the gaming experience will be terrible.
Sometime we just have 20 online players, it is hard to let the game go on. Jason said, "This game is about playing one small part in a much larger story". I think it need more players.
In fact, this game is popular in China. Some videos about this game can gain 9 million views: https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1Qb411 … a36b01d413
I also saw some videos posted by Japanese with hight views.
But many people don't play the original edition due to language. I saw the language mod in the website, but it is too hard to know for someone who didn't play the game. If this game can be sold in different language at steam, I think we can have more player.
Maybe the majority of players is in USA (When USA is at mid night, online players become few). If we have more Asian players. The time difference can keep the number of online players.
That's amazing! This is my favorite family and town.
In fact, I go back to this town many times. I found Thea's grave and bulit a cemetery for her, writing down her story in 7 papers, planting Yule trees. It spent me several lifes.
The most important is that, I experienced the death of our family. I was the second to last person. When I was born, there were only 6 menbers. The leader was a young girl, but she decided to go out door with her dauther, just for wild garlic!
Then, just me and my mom at home. My mom was a mad women. She looted kids and gave them sick name. All the kids died due to her!
At the end, leader's dauther came back. I lighted the candles of Yule trees and died 2 min later. After 1 min, leader's dauther died too. The story of Torch end.
You can whatch the video of this story at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y-47sZIVFFM&t=1s
This is a story about saving lineage.
I was born in Torch family. My name was Apollo Torch. This life I just wanted to kill the time, so I went out to hunt.
When I went back home, I found that there were just 4 ally in our family.
A young girl rided out door. Except her, we just had a fertile family at home. She was nameless. I gave her a name, Thea Torch. Over time, Thea Torch just had 4 SID babies. When Thea was 35 years old, I thought our family will die out inevitably. So, we made some papers to leave our last words. At the age of 39, Thea bore a health girl! I put on clothes for the kid before my death. Her name was Passion Torch.
After the appearance of Passion, I died soon. My story was end, but the story of Torch will go on.
A belltower cannot get rung from a tutorial area.
It seems true. Today I play in the tutorial area again. Someone has made a long road in the east side. I went south along the road and arrived the bell tower. It's a ringable bell, but I can't ring it.
TY, it's very useful.
That said, if you use YumLife mod: https://github.com/selb/YumLife/releases, that has permanent identifications. Names can get changed, but I think the id tag which initially comes as your identifier, won't change.
Thanks for your answer. I just could see character name when using Yumlife. How to see their permanent name or id? Or you meant the chating nickname?
Mods by default show position relative to your birth place but can change it to relative to a any spot on map like bell tower ,a town or sign placed by the highway. With special biome bands its so much easier to find old towns especially with the help of https://onemap.wondible.com .
Thanks for your solution. Did you mean to set a certain place as the original point? Can I do this without arriving the certain place?
I use YumLife and that tells me my coordinates in the top left. It also lets you have a nickname and allows you to talk to other people with the mod. If you had that, it would be easy to recognize you if I meet you outside the tutorial area.
Thanks for your recommendation. I use the Yumlife mod too, but the coordinates in this mod is related. I want to find a method that knowing the abosolute coordinates.
You really enjoy exploring the tutorial area. I wish to meet you in the game. My chating nickname in Yumlife mod is Huey Wood. If I play in the tutorial area, I will ask "Is Cupit in the game?" in the chating channel.
It is still hard to meet you, because we seem to have 8 hours time difference. And recently, I don't play this game frequently. If you want, we can arrange a certain time to play together. I can explore the tutorial area with you. We can also be born as twins. I think they will be interesting experiences!
I have met some guys who say “I see you three times.” or “You are the girl living in north.”
I am sure that they never trusted or cursed me. Because I would do the same if someone do that.
So how can they do that? I also want to have the same ability, LOL.
Is there any method to know the absolute coordinates when playing the game?
I know some mods can show the coordinates, but it is related. It means we can’t get the same coordinate system in different life except performing transformation or setting a same original point.
I saw some secret bases for apocalypse in YouTube. They were always built in a remote place. How can their owner and other players who want to stop the apocalypse arrive there in different life?
Is there any method to know the absolute coordinates when playing the game?
Or they just do this by their memory?
By observing the onemap, I find there are many new roads appearing in the tutorial area! Are someone did it after reading my topic? Recently, I do the same when I am idle. Maybe one day we can finish the construction from north to west.
What about the second tutorial solo challenge area? Do you have any information on that? Is that also part of the same map?
The second tutorial area is in the east side of the first, at least 400km. It seems to be a square area of 100km * 100km. Although the distance between the closest sections is lower than 3000m, them mabey appeared in different time. Moreover, it's very easy to lose direction in this area. So I think it is nearly impossible to meet others in there.
I'm very new to the game but this post inspired me to play with the tutorial a bit more. While I was working out how to craft an axe, a person runs up to my wall with an axe and releases me! I ran off with them to their tutorial section and we "played" together for a few minutes before I died to old age.
Was that you, Huey?
In fact, there are usually about fifty players in the game at the same time. I think the number of players who playing in the tutorial area is less than five, but the number of tutorial unit is about 240. It's hard to find a guy in tutorial area. I never succeed to interact too much with someone here.
So, I think you and the guy were very lucky, such an amazing experience! I very envy this, LOL. The atmosphere of this game is very nice. I believe you will get more interesting memory in it. Wish I can meet you one day~
Thx for your reply.
I think 6000 m, or 6000 meters would be more accurate. I mean, you could walk to the bell tower from some tutorial area where you first heard it.
Although there is a bell tower in tutorial area, I think it isn’t frequently used. The 6 million meters is exact. Ya, I mean it is from the normal town, 6km away from the tutorial area. It certifies that the area is in the main server. It’s amazing for noob like me who never know this. LOL
However, you can play as twins, triplets, or quads in a tutorial area. To do so, one player either has a brand new account, OR one player logs into a tutorial area, but does not light a torch. Then everyone logs in using the 'friends' screen and a twin code like how twins otherwise work.
That is a good idea! Thx for your suggestion. Nobody of my friends play this game. I have tried to recommend OHOL to them. /SAD Maybe I can make friends from this game. But it’s so hard for me to instantly communicate with a foreigner. (Many international software and APP are forbidden in my country.) Anyway, I wish I can succeed, somebody have said “I trust you” to me in the game. I will try to make more contacts with them if I see them again.
By the OHOL map website ( https://onemap.wondible.com/ ), I found the tutorial areas are putted in the edge of the map, adjacent areas spaced 40 meters apart and standing in line from south to north. Before that, I though the tutorial is a single player game.
Knowing that, we can find many signs in the tutorial, such as some manmade item outside the wall (such as basket and sharp stone) and the sound from bell tower (6000km away).
In the map, I find an unfinished grimace image (made by pine needle and stone floor boards) in the north tutorial area and a bell tower in south. But I didn’t very concern about them.
I learned to make the axe and shovel in tutorial, felling the tree and breaking out. I ran to next tutorial area and felled the tree using axe. When I carried the shovel to excavate the stump, I was hurt by a bear. (it was a sign of other recently breaking out player) So I failed to enter another tutorial area. I walked along the wall and arrived the torch challenge area, and then found another player in this tutorial! I whistled and said Hi to her through the wall, and she whistled to me too. Unfortunately, I died before further communicating.
Then I found mining pick is more convenient. We can break out and enter tutorial area from anywhere using mining pick. In second round, I found two players and entered their tutorial area. But they too new to know how to speak. One player ran away form the broken wall without interacting with me. Another player was confused by my appearing, but she AFK and died of starvation. After that, I tried many times but never saw any other players in the tutorial area. That was very regretting.
But I found many relics near the tutorial walls. Some of them even succeeded in breeding sheep. Once I found a saw in a camp and made a hand cart, keeping running north. Although I failed to meet and liberate an eve, I arrived the grimace seen by me in the map! Subsequently, I attempted to continue the job. I was too unskilled to finish, but anyway I made process.
It’s very amazing, I realize the whole tutorial area is not too big, allowing us to continue the work of others. In fact, according to the map, the length of whole area is about 10400 meters. Are you interesting in leaving more signs in this area? Maybe someone can finish the grimace image , and even use the bell tower. Imagine how surprised people would be when they heard the sound of a bell from six million meters away.
It’s very difficult for me to login in this forum and post the topic, because I am not good in English and this game lacks of information in my country. I hope my post can be noticed. I will very appreciate if you reply and share your experience about it.
Unfortunately, I don’t know how to post images in this forum, but I can tell you the grimace is very cute. (Maybe I will try to post it in YouTube. I have recorded the video.) Try to seek it by yourself if you are interesting!
This website can tell you the location: https://onemap.wondible.com/#x=5400287& … 1705138929
The location of bell tower is here: https://onemap.wondible.com/#x=5400287& … 1705138929
In addition, maybe we can make a road from north to south near the smelting tutorial area. Someone had tried, but was not enough. If it is finished, we can do more in the tutorial area and attract more player.
In the end, does anyone know how to obtain absolute coordinates when playing the game? Is there any way to be born as a fertile Eve in the tutorial area? It will achieve more amazing work if it is possible.
