One Hour One Life Forums

in general, if different family lines are going to interact, the skins color should track the Eve more closely.

one thing would be to make rare resources that are concentrated in specific places. this kind of exists with iron mines and gold, but I mean a lot more extreme, way harder to find but several in a place or whatever.

In terms of long distance trade, which i know isn't the primary concern, we need to be able to have a secondary marker so you can actually get back to places.

Jason, I think you're the only other person who cares there haven't been "infinite" lines, i've been talking about this for months!

What  don't get, is that no expeditions are sent out. Honestly, our CITIES are living long eough, cause you figure, at 20 years a generation, plenty of great city states arose and died in 50 generations or less.

But, no one wants to spread out. People with the mod don't like if you're in the wilds and aren't eve, I dunno why. I know lineage ban was part of the problem then area ban was too large.

I've partially stopped running off so much because the main cities have enough trouble surviving, so i've started feeling bad about being a talented female player who leaves.

Still, Eve should be very rare, the entire population shouldn't just be going extinct.

Anyway, most of these ideas are too zany. I do have an idea to make long term survival of more interest, but that's the opposite  of making them the most interested in only that life.

Currently, things either spawn i believe in 2 hours at the longest, if you hunt a rabbit without a family. There is also the "one state change per viewing"

The map culls periodically, but I think it's what, every week? amazingly, you can still find tons of new spawn relatively near established towns. I've gotten pretty good at following these patterns, to find other cities etc [I know you don't play the game a ton, the practical application here is for example if all the cactii are flowering but not fruiting a person has been there, but only once]

anyway, what if there was something that took 6, or 12, or even 24 hours to spawn? Or better yet, what if it too 6 one hour state changes, but expired in a single state change, so in order for people to get resource they needed to consistently be in the same spot for a long period of time.

that is both sad and spooky

always make sure you actually know where the hammer is before you light the fire. Use a rock to make wrought iron to not waste durability. Villages need a constant supply of charcoal so keep them burning. You can conveniently fire clay before closing it for charcoal. Tell people to return broken tools.

Besides hoe, shovel, and ax I wouldn't make tools that aren't immediately needed. Those are used enough and break enough that having extras is always worthwhile.

wait was the in text "Family trees" always supposed to let you browse within the app? I also thought it was just a link to the website, cause it just went to a web browser for me before

Anyway, this is all kind of tedious and annoying, as I very often later check lines on my phone and just searching my email address is quite convenient, but I suppose all the more I have to do is bookmark the download link.

It seems like kind of a problem in search of a solution, as it seems very unlikely that someone is going to go to the effort to find the email address of a character and later harass the person, and at that beyond the extent which can be easily fixed by blocking.

still, i suppose if you think it's a problem better safe than sorry. Though if I had a friend who played i potentially would want to be able to look at his or her lives.

Also if you're messing around with lineage server I'd REALLY like to be able to see # of descendants and/or generations. It's soooooooooo tedious browsing around to figure out which family lines survived. Either would serve the same basic purpose (knowing which family lines to look at) but I imagine by the time you do one doing the other is no problem.

I had a game that was near the many eves town yesterday. It was pretty sparsely populated and there was little food, i was from an outpost a bit north. I never did see what was at the north end of that road. I have to wonder if that road is traveling N-S faster than the spiral goes round, I wouldn't be surprised.

on the normal game? cause I mentioned this the other day and was told to use steam lol

this is extremely impressive. If you don't mind my asking, how long did it take and what do you do for a living?

the only time yum is really annoying as a "mini game" is looking for a different pie flavor.

The truth is, the anti-yum people are so upset about people making inefficient foods,  but that's always going to happen. If you see an inefficient food has been made, the best thing you can do is use it in a yum chain. Sure, you shouldn't grow potatoes, but if one is already lying there and the oven is hot, it's a hell of a lot less wasteful if the bites are 11 and 12 on a yum chain instead of 0 and 1

A bowl of green beans may be wasteful, but once it's already sitting on the ground the best thing you can do is eat it as part of a yum chain.

BTW, for people who don't do this: I pretty regularly have two major yum chains in a life (incredibly helpful when elderly). In an advanced village and if you have reason to go into the wilds anyway. these build for a long time. So for the most part, you're not trying that hard to seek out yum foods. I might make a quick popcorn if i don't have a yum food right on me, but it doesn't take much more than just eating the foods that are available. If you have a pack you can just grab containable yum foods as you see them.

I am a big sauerkraut and stew producer, which are worthwhile yum camp foods, though those are both considered good foods generally.

Have the yum skeptics actually experienced the majesty of having a 15 yum chain? it is _ridiculously_ convenient. Resources are not sufficiently scarce that it's a big deal if I eat a corn as part of a big chain.

People act like you are spending all your time running for yum foods, but once the chain is up you tend to pass available foods before your bar goes down.

and advanced village generally has 10 or more food types readily available.
