One Hour One Life Forums

Do we really need 4 topics for something that probably will never happen anyways?

Edit:  That came out kinda dickish.  Point being, we have plenty of topics, use those xD

Too lazy to do the work myself, but assuming you have death time and coordinates... To give a rough estimate of towns, maybe you would divide death spots into buckets of 200x200 which would estimate town sites.  Then sort the death times in each bucket, and town ages would be streaks of time where the time to next death is less than some period of time (Time until map reset? I think it's 6 hours?  Actually it might be longer).  And then just record how many and how long each streak is in each bucket, dropping any streak below X.

You could do better than that, but it'd probably be more work than worth it since I think the above way is so close to good enough that you'd just waste time.

Well, as someone who /died as eve a lot a few weeks ago, it was mainly to get a better understanding of the game and see how long I can make lineages last.  As you do it more often, you realize that literally what seems like a monumental task as eve of trying to get your town as high tech and organized as possible, literally reduces down to picking a good spot ,making a clay bowl, and telling people what (not) to do.  So the appeal dies as you learn all the primitive tech and know how the town cycle works.

I think the donkey town one wouldn't work:  getting sent to donkey town just adds 20k to your X and Y as an eve spawn, so it'll be much different place every time.

That tutorial idea is interesting, though, do the jason heads spawn there tho?

Server wiping is fine, it's just a matter of tuning to figure out how often.  Honestly eve chaining being lost is probably the bigger blow.  I think we're just being guinea pigs again xD  Nobody's actually caused an apocolypse anyways right?

Anyways, the One City server is going nicely if you just wanna derp around in big towns.  Only been up for a day and we've got a good town going and a massive one up north.

Practice server is really nice for this as well, as it's essentially this + godmode.

Yeah the baby teleporting I'm getting rid of.  I was originally going to have all people, babies and eves spawn at the origin, and the baby part was buggy.  However, rather than fix the bug, I'm just only setting eves to origin now.  I was originally worried people might start subtowns far off which might dilute the town too much, but literally nobody did lol.

As for choosing the town location, yeah I just picked the first viable spot (had any water and grassland).  If people like, I will choose a "good" spot for the next town.

Anyways, I'll probably have the code changes and next town location up and started in 2 or 3 hours if anyone's wondering, will post when it's up or if I just went to bed.

Edit: Also going to introduce a tiny bit of randomness to the Eve spawn location just to make it harder to kill off the whole server via griefing.  A permanent town is insanely easy to grief, but may as well make it a bit hard than just placing 4 bell tower bases xD

Heh, it probably had a miniapocalypse, which technically is a way to remove it.  Whoops!  Glad I started this right before an update so we didn't lose a week of progress.  It's possible we might be able to recover it, but I doubt it.  Asking around discord to get some help debugging it.  In any case I'm going to look into making sure chunks never get reset due to inactivity.  That might be what happened in some buggy way, and there's really no reason to ever reset any of the map for this server.

Maybe.  It depends on how many people play on the server and how many want to make a suburb I guess.  Then again, I think it'd be weird if a lot of people wanted to make a subcity, since you can always use practice server if you want a small town to yourself.

Just go into settings when you log in, replace localhost with the IP above (use the paste button in game, will later change this to a proper hostename), and check "use custom server".  Then whenever you wanna play on the normal servers just uncheck that custom server box.

If there's an issue connecting, let me know, it's untested for other people, but it should work:  I can get in from my laptop connecting to the server myself.  It also seems like some people have done stuff while I'm offline, though hard to tell.

Edit: looks like we got a 3 people on   Babies get teleported to their mom from origin unfortunately, so that'll have to be fixed.  Although I think you need 3-4 people on at once which isn't common at least.

Anyways, got a proper road, stew, iron mine, lookin great.  I'll get the server back up in the morning if it goes down overnight, should have the town saved, though.

I definitely agree this will update will cause issues with big cities:

-Eve exploit fixed (Big nerf to city size (maybe (since it was complicated)) )
-Some form of server unknown apocalypse (Big nerf to city size)
-Yum bonus overnight (??? buff to overall city size)

Looks like it'll add up to a fair chunk of nerfing to big cities which is kind of the opposite I'd hope for xD

That said, I don't think players can really do anything about it other than ask their babies to commit suicide if male, or maybe try to trick them into it by staying near town instead of in it and picking them up if male (as most suicides seem to be players seeing an eve situation in my experience).  If they're male and don't commit suicide, there's no reason to not raise your kid.  Eve male abandonment occurs because if you can only support X players while your farming is getting set up, they may as well be female.  However, it doesn't seem to have a point in cities that are in the post-rampup phase where you're limited by population and skill rather than the additional wild forage factor.

Edit: ah yeah as crazyeddie suggested
