One Hour One Life Forums

Guys, maybe focus on decaying and trash for now. This is important so please don't derail it.

I often suicide anytime there are more than 6 girls + fertiles.

My favorite lifes are on eve camps usually gen 2 to 4. You struggle, make connections with the other few people and you contributions are usually very felt.

Had great lifes on gen 2 and 3 of Rose and Ofallon this weekend and its a real pleasure to see our family descendants thrived on the long run. Even almost teared up irl when my sis older sis died. Died surronded by the ones I loved and wished them well.

Large towns are missing the struggle for the most part and the "human connection" is greatly diminuished. I hope Jason's family unit/properties can help mitigate those issues and help improve how life feels on those huge towns.

If you really want to go the magic direction, why not just add a sort of "2-set ownership totem" where you craft it and then you can place both of them (like if you had two shafts), the square they make would be the area affected by them. Add a visual indicator for the square frontier and maybe a hue or overlay on set area while it is being homesteaded. Then remove hue when it becomes permanent. Any "heir" or "access rights" commands needed to be given inside.

Once it is active everyone can enter the marked area but they cannot interact with items (except to drop them).

People can be killed inside normally.

This wouldn't require gates, fences, or anything. It would just be a sort of a claim on a piece of land. Then the player would have the responsibility of building on it.

EDIT: If anyone messes with the totems until the homestead is complete, then the whole thing is cancelled.

To avoid people just sneakly replacing the totems with their own the hue on the area could depend on whether or not it is your claim (green hue for yours, red hue for others).

Homestead areas have frontier lines green or red depending on whether or not you have access to that area.

Totems don't have ownership, they would need to be joined together to be "paired" and could then be placed by anyone.

Once the homestead is complete, totems can only be removed by the owner.

Area access can be revoked by owner. Heir can be designed, defaults to first born still alive, recursively.

If no authorized person enters the area for a certain amount of time, both totems unground themselves and become normal items. Area is gone.

Happens with all dyes too.

Maybe a transition back to undyed for all colors? Maybe with alum?

I opened two issues yesterday on github relating with clothing:

[Unreleased] Skirt doesn't have pockets
https://github.com/jasonrohrer/OneLifeData7/issues/247.

[Unreleased] weird sprites for new clothing

Hardest part of having a pump on eve camp is the need to empty out the well twice.

This might be a tangent but on the subject of names, we have some huge names available in-game.

Cursing, giving or removing access to OLUWADUNMININU SHUFFLEBARGER might be a bit of a pain without commands. Perhaps both curses and "ownership" could both also have a sort of a command counterpart which would cause the character to say "curse OLUWADUNMININU SHUFFLEBARGER".

And add in a curse age limit like 16 or 20 to avoid baby griefing.

Or perhaps trim some of the larger names currently allowed.

Spawn an Adam as second and a child as third.

Have them auto marry.

Females at 14 and males at 14 could /marry eachother and have children without any further interaction.

Add /divorse and female becomes infertile until she marries again.

Could allow people to control how their fertilities and give a meaning of building a fsmily to the father.

@Jason, it is quite strange for me to see someone who wants in-game drama, conflict and player "driven stories" to then design a system that does not allow players to do actions like: break in a house to steal food; chase a killer to their hideout and kill him; or breaking someone out of prison.

Wasn't one of your initial scenarios a mother with a baby that wants to steal a car from a town? How does this system help with that?

How does this system insensitive wars of any kind?

How can conflicts be resolved if people just tuck in behind their magic fences?

This elder driven magic fences feature serves no solution to any of the scenarios you presented as being evidence of something missing ingame.
