One Hour One Life Forums

Yea, if a town has an axe, adze, saw, flint tipped bow drill, and froe i basically just go hunt down some milkweed for a rope using a basket to make my hand cart. I pick up some wild food and and a sharp stone along the way. My next stop is a swamp biome with lots of reeds to make baskets. After that i just look around for what i can gather, usually a snare and rabbits are my next goal along with thread wherever i can find it. If we have sheep for ball of thread then i just skip the milkweed bit, or only take back ropes. I spend the later half of my life gathering iron, buttlogs, or large stones for construction. A bp with a pie and a sharpstone is also nice to take into a green biome. You can come back with 8 straight shafts and 8 curved shafts double-double stacked. That will help blacksmithing process immensely with the tinder for charcoal and the shafts for tools.

Every once in a while i'll take at most a pie and a few smaller foods for yum bonus and then head straight back out into the wild.

u rite

I mean that you use a wall of wooden boxes so that people do not step into the desert by accident...
you contain a piece of desert inside your room, this balances out the heat in the room when you close the door. I.e. The whole room becomes a "biome border" like there use to be.

I would suggest not building a large berry farm. A 4x4 berry farm surrounded by 2 tiles of bear rugs / wood floors on each side and walls provides a greater insulation than nothing at all. We really need to move away from just eating berries rather then their primary uses of compost, thread, wool, and medicine. Nobody new even bothers to learn yum bonus chain when there's a 20x20 berry patch. Where you would place compost and the like in a berry farm you can floor in with wooden boards and wall off, maybe even leave a square in the desert to provide free heating. You would want to put wooden boxes on these desert tiles though because if a door opens and someone is standing on the desert it would spell disaster. In fact walling off a larger section of desert and barricading those tiles with boxes (for storage) while leaving a large floor space behind it on desert may work even better for heating. Idk if you want to floor those desert tiles though...

btw has anyone considered making 1x2 heat chamber with surrounding 3x4 wall/doors to try to get a perfect temperature before entering a desert?
The perfect ratio might not be 1 : 1 cold / hot... I haven't tested.

Doors are not viable in overpopulated buildings. REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
I kinda wish we could just hang a bearskin over the doorway that kept the heat in but you would just push through it like curtain doors.
People are always trying to get into the bakery to get food too so might as well not have doors at all. Plus you yourself have to go get wheat and  pie filling.

Another problem is big towns support rapid child birth, but the children stick around until the whole village is starved. This is because the small villages and eve camps can't support them and thus they starve and are reborn until they get to a town that hasn't starved. Its kind of up to the moms whether to let babies die or not so that you do not overpopulate.

We need more towns that are successful so that the all the towns and eve camps aren't overpopulated.

Being perfectly honest you should never take your clothes off unless you're under 10% temp as its quicker to recover temp naked. If you're going into a desert be sure to keep running until you get to the other side WITH your clothes on.

I ran through a desert with nothing but a reedskirt, my heatshock was perfectly freezing once i left, i stopped at a berry bush and stuffed my face until i had reached 10% temperature again which is baseline for naked people. (100 food pips per minute / 600 food pips per life / ~40 bites of mutton pie or 120 berries)

If you had a full set of clothing you would be at somewhere around 20-30% temperature. When you recieved heatshock you would be at 70-80% respectively, and you would slowly heat up to max temp. The bright side is if you exit the desert quick enough, you will be slightly above freezing when you return to the cold. You consume food 3x faster freezing/heatshocked than you do naked in green biome. You consume food 11x faster at freezing than you do at perfect temp. (1800 pips per hour when freezing/heatshocked compared to 163.636 pips per hour at perfect.)

Its really starting to become more than just a nuisance isn't it?

The real griefers are the ones who spam eat berries on cooldown, 1 pip per berry.
Eat the corners of the sheep pen. Stab the last sheep. Pick the carrots that are suppose to be seeding. And cutting the last wheat.
Soiling berries without making compost... etc.

Yet, people do these things purely on accident sometimes because they just do not know. Then there are malicious players who do all of it!
Griefing is 10x as harder to come back from in the new update.. Everyone is too starving and panicked to get anything done.

Just died 5 times in a row in big villages. One most notably, was a griefer eating one berry per square. And my mom "trusted him" nobody thought to use the bow 3 squares away. i would have shot him right then and there had i not starved at the age of 5 because he ate all the berries.

That might be the best way to make berries a compost / sheep only food. But then carrots would become the next victim of overeating. This would also make wild gooseberries not viable for eves. I wouldn't want to make eve gameplay even harder than it already is, that would just be absurd.

Berries are fine as they are, I have slightly different opinion about the people who waste them though. 35 hunger pips per 1 soil vs carrots which are 40 hunger pips per 1 soil. Bread is also 40 hunger pips per soil and you have excess of threshed wheat due to composting / making baskets and straw hats from wheat. None of that even compares to the efficiency of eating rabbit carrot pies and rabbit / mutton pies.

The only thing i disagree with about making rabbit fur coats is that the seal coats use the same amount of thread and are better.

Do new seals spawn from ice holes in ice biome? Or are they non renewable animals? I'm entirely unsure of what animals do respawn... I would hope that to some degree all animals do respawn. Rabbits for sure are an infinite resource, but what about wolfs, seals, and mouflon? Do they just pop out in the correct biome, or are they non-renewable resources?

Also i just looked into santa hats... Those look fun 18.75% insulation but costs 5 fleece 1 thread. Mutton pies, fleece and ball of thread are biproducts of compost which is a corner stone of a healthy farm village, you could mass produce santa hats until your village had enough to for everyone so long as the compost cycle was relatively fast. If nobody is tending to carrots and wheat (as per usual a noob mistake) then the process would slow down until carrots and wheat started going again.

Rabbit hats do seem like a more reasonable alternative though because they only use 1 thread of a ball of thread and two rabbit pelts and provide a better insulation bonus. Breeding wolves for hats seems like nice idea too, though It may require a sheep, pig, and corn farm though for the necessary carnitas and mutton.

Deserts were a bit OP to be honest, I just took it for granted because it was the first thing i learned, balancing temperature to not starve.
