One Hour One Life Forums

This ain't right. Jason, you said you wiped all the curses, but I still got mine.
Anyone else have this problem? I'm really annoyed.

In-case you're not aware, backpacks will act like baskets even when on your back.
This is especially annoying with food, so here's a scenario in-case you don't understand:
You have 3 carrots in your bag, and you pick up a pie to bring with you, when you try to put it in your bag by right-clicking as usual, you end up swapping it out for a carrot.
Now, personally I'm not a fan of this at all, and I don't think anyone else is either.
What's your opinion? Have you used a backpack since the new update a few hours ago, or were you entirely unaware? Let me know, and let's try to get Jason to revert it back to the way it always has been.

This is a suggestion post, leather is not in the game nor has Jason confirmed or mentioned anything about it. This is simply an idea thought up by me and J3ng3n.

Notice that not all details have been worked out.
We were discussing how we've been a bit disappointed that we can't store things very well.. Yes, there are crates and sledges which do not decay, but that's still only 4 items a tile, and are quite time consuming to make.
J3 brought up the idea of backpacks not decaying, and I told him that would be too overpowered, seeing as backpacks are very very cheap if you have the rabbits for it, and keep up with snaring them.
I told him we would need a very expensive and time consuming way to have a non-decaying basket alternative, AKA: A container that fits inside a box, as I don't think it should be easy to get to that point.
When decay was released, we got the alternative of stone walls to adobe, and a few non-decaying clothing items (Albeit in the future).
We discussed leather, and J3 said there should be a leather backpack, made with the same amount of leather as rabbit fur, but much more expensive and time consuming to get, and it wouldn't decay.
As we talked, we came up with different ways to turn the leather from just cow skin, into a durable material that would last forever.
Most of which I cannot remember the processes we came up with, but it would take a lot of work to do anything.
I'm sure if Jason uses the idea for leather backpacks, he will come up with a fairly difficult balanced way to process leather.
What do you all think? Should we have leather backpacks?

Dear Allyssa Civil,
Hi, how are you? It's momma.
Sorry to have died a few minutes early on you, I could have stayed longer, but I felt like my job had been done.
Here's my story. (Keep in mind I don't play on localhost much, but this was a nice experience!)
I was born into the Civil family, a rather big family, with a not so big town. A pretty small berry farm, nothing but a singular shovel and a broken axe, with no black biomes in sight.
I started off after I was raised by my 2 aunties, whom I cannot remember the names of (sorry) and once I could take off, I did, and headed straight for the berry farm so I didn't starve immediately.
As soon as I got some berries, and a bowl to hold some in I went exploring around, and found myself a dead bison calf, and my goal was to find out what bison do, and to catch one myself! Sadly, like I said it had already died, so I figured it's mother would be near.
I explored a bit around the area to find it's mother, alongside a dead body with a backpack, arrows, and a bow, with a bear very nearby!
I warned everyone of the bear, and Winter was going to help me but needed to be a mother, so I waited til I could pick up the bow, and I slayed the bear.
Afterwards, I baked a few pre-made pies, and brought back some more dough to make even more pies!
Fast forwarding, I found another bear later, this time closer. I killed this one as easily as the last, and I saved everyone. We later found out there was a griefer, not killing, but stealing food, and supplies; I still don't know what came of them, but I assumed they died.
I saw they only had 2 measly pieces of iron, which for some reason they made 2 axes, instead of getting another tool for more purposes. I decided with my last years, it's about time I put in some real work and effort, so I went off south, and kept going until I found iron, which I did. Only 5, but it will go a long way.
I hope, Allyssa, that you and the others are smart with this and make the tools necessary to break into those 2 iron veins I told you about.
Be careful, there's a lot of snakes on the way, and around 6-7 wolves running around there too!
Be safe, momma loves you.

There should be a playtesting server, move an update a day later, and the day the update is actually finished, Jason can push it to the playtest server, in which players picked from the community by Jason will be able to test out everything, do a quick play session and try out all the new and old features. This is in the case there are bugs (with this update there is the broken knife/hatchet obtainment).
With all bugs found, and all new features tested to make sure it would be balanced for gameplay both from average players, Discord players, and the ones who tested it.
I believe this will prevent all the super buggy releases like this one that cause chaos among players, or the community in general, such as the first decay update, it got a lot of backlash because it wasn't balanced enough; and this update, in which you can obtain infinite hatchets, and knives, among other things that I may not be aware of yet, also wells with only 2 stones. These can be prevented if there is a day-early push for a private server in which only a few players who are good at speed-running the tech-tree.

The above video is an example of what happens after an update to most towns.
If you find yourself back at a town you'd previously been in, it's very likely to look something like what's in the video, unfinished, or destroyed mostly (after an update(server restart)).
This is because when the server decides what to cull on reset, it will detect any item or tile that was NOT interacted with within the last 24 hours. This means explored parts of the map do not matter, it's only INTERACTED parts of the map that matter, that being doors being closed/shut, walls being clicked on, tiles that had an item put down or picked up on it, kilns/ovens/forges being used, etc.. I've PM'd Jason this video, and hopefully this bug will get fixed ASAP.
