One Hour One Life Forums

I made the mistake of feeding a suspicious child too many times. She'd jump out of my arms less than a second after entering them, and temp run in circles.

Me and a son agreed to leave her to starve, but it was too late and she survived on a desert patch. Turns out she was cursed, ran away laughing with our early eve supplies.

Not that it matters, she was the only fertile female by that time anyways. I only had three kids, and the first two had been male. Both good boys - one made a bow and went hunting bears and wolves to prevent future issues with them while the other helped me get the farm going.

That happens a lot. I've often see stabbed griefers try and spin everything back to the person who justly killed them, staggering around the town screaming "CURSE <user> THEY STABBED ME!" and often times succeeding in turning the town on the person who was protecting them.

A lot of people just see a murder and instantly think that the killer is the bad one, and don't wait to hear it out. Same goes for general cursing. Someone runs around saying "so-and-so did this, curse them!!!" and people just comply without question.

This is why I usually take a minute to explain to any nearby townsfolk that there's a griefer around, what they're doing that's considered griefing, and to keep an eye out for them. That way people are more likely to let you live if you do end up killing the griefer, rather than mistaking you as one.

Always take the time to learn about the situation before jumping to conclusions. Ask what x person did exactly, and use your own judgment rather than mob mentality. Save your tokens for cases in which its clear the person is a griefer, whether you saw them enact the crimes themself or there's enough evidence and people pointing towards that person.

Surprised nobody's mentioned a few of these:

- Letting the last fire go out/putting a flat rock over the last fire, especially in big civilizations that don't have any nearby fire trees thanks to repeat grief attacks.

- Putting firewood onto a fire when there's already one going, or kindling/a flat rock on the coals someone were just about to use.

- A civilization letting the compost stop running, then panicking when they realize their berry field is dead. Also, the mass amount of noobs who die from this event instead of foraging for food or trying to find natural soil pits.

- People who jump to conclusions when they see a murder or someone asking to curse so-and-so. Figure out the whole story before you grab your knife or throw out a curse lmao. A lot of the time it's not what it seems.

- Naming and raising kids that were purposefully abandoned by their mother, whether for being sketchy [constantly jumping out of arms, not saying anything when asked, etc.] or being noobs that don't listen when you say to stay put, or because of a population boom. Bonus points if the kid comes back for "vengeance."

- People who eat the corn meant for cows/stew, or carrots meant for compost. There's a reason I go out of my way to hide some of these things, or grow them on the outskirts of town.

- People who plant and water 10 rows of carrots, especially those who don't come back to pick them. You don't need that fucking many. Three, maybe four rows at most. Four rows gives you 20 carrots. That's plenty for feeding sheep, composting, and maybe making a few pies.

- Tilling piles of 3 soil. It's just wasteful. Splitting it into piles of two extends the soil usage, and saves on iron. Tilling piles of one is also fine, but only if you've got plenty of iron for extra hoes.

- Wasting kindling on a large-fast fire. It's useless. That kindling could've been a brand new fire but instead it was wasted making a regular fire last what, ten seconds longer?

- People who hold grudges over the tiniest fucking thing. Okay I get it, I didn't know mutton pies had been released and that they were better than rabbit. You didn't have to snarl at me for "impeding on your work" and then track down a knife to stab me 30 minutes after the incident. I'd already switched over and moved on. Why couldn't you?

Currently they do not produce food when killed and cannot be butchered. They're milk cows. Jason mentioned he was likely going to add steer for slaughter in the future.

11. When you're given clothes as a baby, find another clothed baby and spam-swap clothes with them until you're older. Failing that, spam remove and put-on your clothing.

Picked this up from a cursed child who I then proceeded to marry after we got our hands. She was then shot with an arrow for being cursed, and I was shot shortly after for fear of "avenging her."

Haven't updated yet, what's the calf glitch?

First child that came to my mind was a daughter during one of my more successful eve runs [15 gens]. She got to work right away setting up the farm in nice 3x3 patches and had berries as well as a few other veggies growing pretty quickly, while I worked on getting steel tools going.

I think by the time I died as an eve they were already planning out the sheep pen, was a very solid start thanks to the kids I'd been given who knew what they were doing, and stuck around. Sadly it died off due to an update- babies stopped being born.

Joke's on them, the family still lives on. I was descended from that family but my mother was lost in the wilderness when she gave birth to me. She explained she was left in the wild by her mom, who'd died before they could get back to a larger town. She raised me old enough to grab things, then told me to find the town or to just settle at a good spot if I couldn't.

Found a nice spot on some desert, with a bunch of ponds near and a massive grassland. Set up a farm and had some kids, told them the story, let them decide whether to stay or journey in search of town. A couple stayed and survived.

They're on gen 18 now, I was gen 6. I think there's still some alive as well- they're part of the Bob Army atm haha. I think they had trouble with a killer but seem to have taken care of it. I hope they continue to thrive there.

I'm pretty sure you were the one who showed me how to get milk and make bread a bit ago, haha. I mainly remember the "I can just afk for the rest of my life" line from the lady who was teaching me, and explaining how good it was. Wish I remembered my name that life. I ended up dying to someone who stabbed me with a butter knife after luring me into the woods [and being rather stupid enough to follow him]

Thanks for taking the time to show me the new update <3

personally I've found milk alone to be pretty damn great food. You get 120 foods per bucket of milk [10 bowls of milk per bucket, 12 food each bowl]. That seems pretty solid so long as you have a bucket available.. You just have to make sure to take a bowl of milk out immediately so it doesn't separate.

One soil = 4 corn cobs = 4 buckets of milk = 480 calories per soil.

Compared to Stew, which gives 64-96 calories per soil, depending if you had to grow a fresh corn plant or already had some laying around. It also takes up more water, not only to grow the supplies but to prepare the stew itself.

I saw a cow pen setup that seemed pretty good. It only has 2 spaces in it- one for the domestic bison, one for the domestic cow. I suppose a one-space pen with just a domestic cow would work too..

You feed the cow, it has a calf, calf despawns I assume bc no place to run, milk cow. No dead babies to worry about. Though maybe I'm wrong, and the baby cow just never leaves mom? Not sure, only glimpsed the pen moments before I died..

Oh here's another addition to this guide. Someone touched on the topic earlier but I'm repeating it due to the amount of lives I've lived in with this problem.

Don't plant mass amounts of carrots.

People don't seem to keep in mind that every row yields 5 carrots, and that they're on a timer. Late, and you lose your carrots. Even later, and you lose your seeds as well. No town, no matter how big, needs ten rows of carrots. Especially if you're not going to be around to pick them all- which, from what I've noticed, most people who plant rarely are.

And just think about it. Do you really need fifty carrots just to make a few batches of compost, or make a few inferior pies?

No. You really don't.

Sure, there's carrot munchers to consider, but most of these noobs won't stray far from the main village, and won't be hanging in sheep pens or on the outskirt farms. There's also the yum bonus to factor in, but really, how many carrot-variant pies are you going to make, when you're only going to eat a bite from each?

4 rows of carrots at most is all you'll ever need growing at any given time. That's still 20 carrots, which is more than enough to go about your sheep feeding, composting, and pie making dreams, and still have some leftover to seed.

Just had a life where an uncle decked me out in full clothes, then my mother tried to place me on a slow burning fire in the middle of a patch of desert... She kept complaining about me "moving around too much" and urged me to boil in the fire lmao. She even named me "Crazy" because of my constant movement [AKA me moving back to a nearby desert edge tile.]

Eventually she stopped trying to move me into the fire, not sure if saying "to/ho/t" got the point across though.. Hard to explain in clipped baby speech.

People really need to be more aware of heat. A slow burning fire in the middle of a desert with a full set of rabbit clothes is WAY too hot.
