One Hour One Life Forums

Well, over the time I got some issues with login and here the things that helped me and might help you:

1 - auto-login from steam: If you bought the game on steam, you can open the game, click on "Clear Account", then close the game and open it again via steam, in theory they will bind your credentials and you won't have problems "logining".

2- manual login: if you didn't buy it on steam, you probably received your key on your email. If so, open OHOL's folder, then open "settings", open "accountKey" and put your key there (ex.: PU2DI-NAGDW-ALO54-GLAHG) and save it, then open "email" and put your email there.

3- manual login steam: if for some reason steam is not biding your account automatically, you can go to ohol's download page (I'll put the link, but you shouldn't click on links that point to a login pages, since you can get phished, try to find the download page manually, but if you really can't and you don't care about clicking on links that leads you to a login pages, here it is http://onehouronelife.com/steamGate/ser … load_link), they will ask you to login with your steam account, do it, then they will show you your account email (something like 864578098400132548@steamgames.com) and your key, with that information in hands, follow the "2- manual login" steps.

It has been suggested for years and I simply love this idea. Perhaps it could be a new functionality to the car, we could be able to upgrade the cars to till soil, plant seeds, make roads. I don't think it is hard to code and we have almost all sprites done, it would be an upgrade in the tech what we don't have for a long time, I think it's the perfect moment to do an update towards that direction.

A year ago it wasn’t like that, it was random, look that map: http://onehouronelife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=6940
A little bit before family specialization (I think) he decided to try a topographic map and the snow, jungle and desert would be special biomes in the mountains. I might say it became way easier to find those biomes after this update. Before, it was a mess, sometimes I used a third party map (wondible) to find them. I think the reason was that one, to make it easier to find. Perhaps when we get the new update with 10 new biomes, we get some rainforest at sea level.

Edit: As Twisted said, it is topographic and not topological, so I’m editing it.

It happened to me yesterday, a griefer made a fence and was locking everything inside it. The leader wasn’t there, everyone cursed the griefer but we couldn’t kill her. Then we decided to follow another person, the guy who was trying to kill her. He got like 8 followers and when the griefer opened the fence to run for food we could chase her.
We did kill the evildoer, but the new leader got bitten by a wolf when going back to town and alas there was no pads available.
I think the best solution is choosing a new leader.

In this case, yes. It blew up my mind when studies it at university, when we start studying Differential and Integral Calculus we mess a lot with the “number” infinite and zeros, so we have to make crazy maths to approach a value when X tends to a number, interesting things happen when X tends to 0 or infinite. For example, 1/x when x tends to 0 is equals to infinite.

Eternity is the same as infinite (I know there are some semantic differences, but I’m this case we are talking about a lineage that starts at 0 and goes until infinite). Infinite divided by any number (but 0) is still infinite. 2 seconds is 43,200 times lower than infinite, but infinite/43200 = infinite. So in this case, yes, 2 seconds = 86,400 seconds. Because you said 2 seconds = infinite/43200, so 2 seconds = infinite, 86,400 seconds = infinite if 1 day = infinite. As I said, you disguised the values and facts, so people will tend to agree with you, you used seconds because it’s a very short amount of time. You compre things like lineages with the age of universe, gosh!

I got Spoonwood’s point. But he is too much extreme, he will always pick the most extreme example and disguise the facts so people can agree with him. We started playing about the same time and his posts were always like this. I remember he complaining about why we couldn’t use a modified version of the game to insta suicid at any age anymore.
Man, we all are doomed in real life as well, if we turn the age of the universe in one day, we will live a life of microseconds, so I should quit living because of that? Man even the earth will be consumed by the sun one day, everything is doomed, it’s the destiny of all things, the entropy will go higher and higher. Also, if eternity was 1 day, few seconds would still be eternity.

I agree that there should be something to prevent forced family extinction like why happens when the server is updated.

But lineages end, even in real life we had lineages being extincted, animals being extincted. Besides that, the game isn’t necessarily simulating earth’s civilizations. It’s an unknown world where women pop out of nowhere with the ability of self fertilization, like if someone was studying a kind of bacteria or an advanced civilization was simulating some scenarios to test how human beings would survive. We don’t even know if we are a simulation here in “real life”.

Don’t use extreme exemples and people might give you more credibility, you have some points, but you end up destroying them when you use fallacies.

I do agree that to be realistic, we should learn everything in game, elder teaching the young. I really like teaching people, but it consumes a whole lot of time, it's hard to teach and work, and from my point of view there are more people that don't know how to do things than there are to do. A lot of people quit the game without being taught anything, they didn't have the opportunity.
Having tutorials wouldn't kill the in-game teaching, since the one tech also doesn't kill it, but would help that people that weren't taught or the most curious ones that want to make an oil well (forgot the name). Of course some players can easily do anything just by looking at the one tech, I remember when the airplane came to the game, people made it within hours, but some others don't have that facility, not because they aren't smart, just because they aren't used to do such a thing, so they need a little bit more of explanation.

Having a tutorial for each profession might be a little bit exaggerated, but we need at least a good farming, smithing and baking tutorial.

I don't like watering berries neither hunting rabbits, but it was quite a fun experience when I started playing. I still water berries every life when I'm a kid, but only do that after 13 if no one is doing. I like farming other crops though, even after 1 year playing, of course not every life, I usually play one life as a farmer, other as a builder, other as a baker, sometimes a loot dead towns... I like to vary in stable towns, in unstable towns I have to be multi-task and I don't enjoy that, being forced to stop doing what I am liking doing because no one is making compost, healing, taking the carrots, smithing... But when I was a beginner, every task was complex and exciting. I remember when I learned making fire when I was an Eve, i though "WTF this is impossible, I took life 15 minutes to make the tools to make fire" but I was very happy when I finally made it, nowadays I make it in one minute if there are enough resources around me and it isn't that rewarding, but I think it still is for beginners.

That’s sad. They should sell omeletes, rabbit meat, even glasshworth and sand, things that are easy to get, useful, but almost no one does. It would help a lot, at least when the shop owners die, the town would get some easy yum or useful raw material. But keeping carts, tools, clothes, pies and whatnot (unless you made them) is derogatory to the town.

I know my suggestions aren’t likely to be implemented, but there are a few things I would like to see:

- Berries not being the same food base for every civilization, the same for sheep. I would like to see different civilizations having different foods. I have banana trees for years in my backyard, the trees only give banana once, but then other trees grow near the old one without no one planting, then we cut the old tree in various pieces and put near the new ones so they have some extra nutrients and water. I would like to see a town where the base food is banana instead of berry, or something else. And what about eating cow's meat and making compost with cow's dung? And buffaloes? We shouldn't have a meta animal/crop, but each town would choose one (or more than one)

- Upgraded tools. nowadays tools seem to break very quickly. It would be cool if we could mix some metals and make reinforced steel and whatnot to create better tools (better forges would be needed).

- Animals to hunt and tend. I would like to be a hunter, kill deer, moose, jaguars, crocodiles, etc and bring their meat/pelt home. Being able to tend camels, chickens, bees...

- Sitting and sleeping. If we sit on chair near a table to eat some kinds of food like the feast plate, turkey, pies, omelets (foods on a plate), we would receive some kind of bonus (may be comfort bonus, making the hungry bar decreases slower, like the indoor bonus, for a certain amount of time or giving more pipes per food) . For beds, they have to be put inside a building and the amount of beds we can put inside it is related to the building's size or something like that. Only the owner of the bed can sleep there, if the bed doesn't have a owner, the first person to sleep there will be the new owner and when a owner of a bed sleeps in another bed, the old one becomes available again. Sleeping could give a bonus such as more pipes, comfort bonus or walking slightly faster for a certain amount of time or something like that, and there would be a cooldown to sleep again. It might would encourages more buildings and houses, we could mess with property fences saying the house has to be inside property fences and whatnot, I don't know. Someone suggested energy bars (what makes sense), even in real life we have an energy bar separated from our hungry bar, if I eat dozen of pies I can't chop several trees (tbh I can't chop a single tree irl), so if we had that energy bar, they could be added to that sitting and sleeping bonus.

- Family specialization being family specialization, not race specialization. I really liked the idea of family specialization, but in my humble opinion there is something iffy there. I would like to have a system where no one has specializations at the beginning, but if for example a mother go through a desert, her kids (kids that born near her might be included) learns a little bit about deserts (like the language system), after several generations going to the desert (going there might teach a little bit, then they need to do some kind of activity there to go deeper in the specialization like eating cactus fruit or craft stuff with desert's materials, killing desert's animals...) that family would be more and more specialized. They may even learn how to make special recipes (inside or outside deserts) like desert clothes that allows people live in deserts, easily hunt/tame wild animals from that biome (camels, yay!), maybe being able to build sand buildings or stuff like that. The same applies to all restricted biomes. So a very specialized family would have no problem at getting oil at frozen lands, making repellents for jungles or farming bananas, while a foreign that just moved there couldn't. Although after some generations, the foreign's kids, grandchildren... would learn more and more just for living and being born near that specialized people (the more specialized people around, the more the teaching bonus), independent of their colors. We could use that same system for crops, the more one family farms a crop, the more specialized they become, so that crop grows faster and gives more fruits, more nutritive. So we may could change berry for corn, banana, rice and whatnot, we wouldn't have a meta crop, since each of them, once mastered would give different benefits, like better milk when feeding a good corn to a cow (besides being nutritive, giving more pipes when eaten, making better pies). Also having monoculture (at least much more of a single crop in comparison to the others), we could go further in the specialization and make much better crops. The same stands for animals.   

- Rivers. Ohhh my rivers, I know I will never see them. But imagine if some towns could rely on rivers instead of wells. Of course we would need increase the technology to make pipes to take the water to town, even pumps to get more water. The area near the river could be "unlivable", with a sort of dense forest, mire or dangerous respawnable animals such as crocodiles and snakes, so early camps would make the village not too close, so they have to walk a little bit to get water (while having a well is better since it's near from crops), but with the passage of time they create large containers (buckets, gallons, cisterns...), so they can't carry more water at once and late towns would have pumps and pipes, even sprinkles. Also, it would add fishing, bridges, boats (more family specialization).

- Different tech trees, not a single one. With that family specialization I suggested, we would have different or even mixed tech trees. Some towns would have rivers, others well or even well and river. Different ores, alloys, so according to the specialization towns would have different tools (better at some things, worse at others and vice-versa). Different buildings (built with different materials). Different meats, towns specialized at tending cows would have extremely nutritive meats, pies, milk (cheese?) and more efficient dung, high quality leather while towns specialized at tending sheep would have high quality wool (more thread, better clothes), more meat, good dung. No meta animal, just different benefits. Of course we can still tend all animals, but if the amount of animals of each type are similar, we can't go deeper in that animal specialization, although we still have middle benefits of all of them.

It ought make every life different. Different challenges, different drawbacks and benefits.

There are much more content that I would like to see, and those suggestions are for comunist-ishs civilizations, since if we were capitalists that specialization would be much more concentrated on people's offspring rather than the whole town, so individuals could trade goods with people of his own town, since everyone would be good at doing something different. But I know that it might not be implemented ever, they would make the game more complex and less intuitive for new players and there would need to be a way to balance that, they could make the game much easier or harder, and we also would need to balance that which requires a lot of thinking and working. I'm not asking Jason to do that (at least not now with the current state of the game, it might be more viable in the future), just saying the content I would like to see. I know Jason works alone and has a lot of work to do, things to fix, to think and the content I mentioned requires a lot of codding (and more bugs), unwanted side effects (more fixings) and might even be impossible, like rivers (I heard the game's engine doesn't support such a thing, I'm not sure though). Also, I don't think he will keep updating the game forever, so it might stop being updated before we can see similar stuff (unless some big company or community work very hard with lots of people or some kind of hype happens and Jason has to hire a big staff due to the millions of downloads the game is getting, I really wish that).

Lemme dream...
