One Hour One Life Forums

Also starting to get sick of people wasting my time. I just spawned in one of my well known camps, had my mom grab me and run far away from the camp up north for some reason. I didn't understand why she was running with me, but there is nothing I could have done about it anyway as a baby. Then she stopped and let go of me and ran back south to the camp I started with.

Thanks Mom! thanks for wasting my time. Seriously, some people are just frickin stupid. And btw, they had tons of food laying around. AAND I was a girl.

It's just so annoying that you're 100% dependent on your Mom for like the first 3 mins or so. Real life or not, it's still a game. Stuff like this leaves a bad taste in my mouth..

Things are starting to look brighter, at least on server 3. Me and all the other folks finally managed to build up a bunch of big camps all closely together. We connected them with roads by now, which is great. There tend to be more bows around then I've ever seen in any of the other towns. I mostly only saw like 1 or maybe 2 bows in a camp before. But with more bows available now, people are actually able to defend themselves now in a much quicker fashion.

Interestingly enough, I have not seen anyone with a knife around. Maybe people started to stop making them since they realized they're not as useful to have, other than for killing people.

But one big problem still remains, and that is the fact that newbies have it too easy to mess up camps. Another annoyance that I witnessed today was how some people messed up the Milkweed farm that I have helped making bigger in one of the camps yesterday. When I logged in today, it was nearly gone. Some people must have picked the milkweed flowers at the worst stage, when they're all green with no buds or flowers on them. Or when they were flowering with pink flowers on them. I honestly don't understand why the one with pink flowers doesn't regrow. Shouldn't it regrew just like the middle staged one?

Anyways. It was obviously a problem that people were messing up the milkweed farm, since people had much less clothings because of it. Not the biggest problem considering that we had two other camps near by to get help from. But still.

We rebuild it and all is fine.. for now.. until some guy is going to mess with it again. *sigh*

Oh, that explains a lot. Thanks for pointing it out!

And I totally agree with the permutation thing.

Wasn't there like a trailer about the game that said that the game has more than 10.000 items? I doubt that we have already seen all of these items yet.

Here is the link to the video. It even is from the man himself, Jason. It's his youtube channel I believe. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=riqu2eszsIg

He only showed 261 items in this little preview video. And most of all the items were items that we're already working with right now. I mean, that's not even close to 1k items from the supposedly 10k items that are apperently in the game right now.

I mean yes, a bow and arrow is pretty handy to have to protect the camps from bear attacks for example. I don't mind bows too much tbh, since they're actually really useful compared to a knife. But I don't think knives are really worth having around, unless you use them to protect people and have them in your backpack at all times.

And I get it, having to hide items from people that may potentionaly use them to kill you, sounds counter productive. But again, if you see a knife laying around, you should pick it up and either hide it somewhere or take it with you to protect people. It's just not worth letting it sit on the ground for everyone to see it and take the risk of having someone go on a mass murder.

Some story time..

Things are actually looking a little better right now. At least on server 3. I have helped like 3 to 4 camps to become big. All of which are pretty close together as I have found out. I just finished connecting one town with another, while making a lot of clothes for the people and doing some other busy work. I was reborn around 5 times in these 3 camps. That's something that rarely happens to me. Most of the time it's like 2 times, and thats it. But the camps are ever so slightly getting bigger. Even when a whole population gets killed, someone is going to find one of those camps sooner or later and repopulate them. It still sucks that things are being slowed down so much by people that kill just for fun which isn't even much of a challenge in this game right now.

I had two people kill somebody. One of which seemed like an accident. I was going to arm myself against him and hunt him down, but I wasn't able to find a bow. He ran off, so whatevs. The other guy killed a mother that was trying to feed one of the children (she was terrible, feeding only one kid even tho there was another one next to her that needed food. there was tons of food around.), when some grandma shot her with a bow. I was like "FFS!" since it was the second person to be killed in the same town in the same life. I asked her why she did that, but she was just mumbling about that that's what she deserverd and blah. Then she said "good bye world" and poofed into bones.

And on my last life, when I was connecting two towns together, I had to feed a child as a guy. Some mom must have abandoned him for some reason. I saw him ran towards me, and then he stud still before me. I looked at him for a moment, before I decided to grab my backup carrots from my backpack to feed him with them. Then I took him and ran to the berry bush places that I knew were around. I was feeding him with berries until he was old enough to take care of himself. "Good luck buddy." I told him, before I went back to keep building my road.

Dad of the year material, I tell ya. Lol

I was also feeding a brother of mine when I had just grown old enough to grab stuff. My mother was too busy doing other things, instead of taking care of my little brother.

Oh well, it made up for a small but fun experience. Raising your little bro while you're a little child yourself, heh.

So here is what happened. Me and two other people have build a wealthy little camp. Unfortunately I was born as a boy and my mother has gotten too old to produce more children. Eventually we all died, but we made sure to leave the camp in top notch condition for other people to continue on with our camp and try to make it even bigger.

The next day I logged in, I was lucky enough to be born at that exact same camp again. There were a bunch of people, atleast 10 or so. But as soon as I took a look at the farm, I was already baffled about how it looked so much worse compared to the state at which I and my family have left it. So I tried my best to save the farm by taking control of it with whoever else was helping with it. Me and a newborn told people to leave some carrots for seeds. But there was that one guy... that one motherf***n guy that just wouldn't stop picking carrots from the field. We told him many times to take the carrots from the baskets, but he just wouldn't listen. He basically fk'ed the farm over. At that point I just given up on the camp. It's pissing me off to no end when people just wont listen to you.

Now I know better. I learned to make seed fields somewhere outside the camp, somewhere hidden. That way it's less likely that newbies are going to fuk you over with your farm.

Also, if you happen to find a huge camp while being at a little one, then be it. Go join the huge one. That's all up to you.
Either way, both camps are going to profit from your usefulness.

Starting to get sick of it as well. Jason Rohrer has to do something about this, as soon as he comes back from the GDC convention. It's really killing the game, as in slowing down the process of getting a huge camp with a lot of people going. That's the biggest goal for this game, to have a big civilization up and running. It's already hard as it is right now due to inexperienced people dying soon after you raised them. Especially when it's girls. Or people messing up with the carrot farms. And sooo many other things.

I would say to turn off pvp for the time being and tweak it in the background. Reimplement it later down the line, when it has gotten more omptimized with the rest of the game.

It sucks when you die to stupid things like this. You can't defend yourself at all, unless you're making a knife/bow and arrow yourself. But this is not Rust or whatever. You don't have an infintie amount of time to prepare yourself for everything there is considering how complicated and time consuming it is to craft items in this game.

Had another great moment with my past life.

I was born as a little boy on a healthy farm. My family which only consited of my Mom, my Uncle and Me, already had a lot of carrots stached away when I was given birth. There were also a loooot of berry bushes around as well. So in terms of food we had a good life living for. Soon after my Mom got another child, a little girl. But unfortunately she didn't make it. She must had been born with some serious illness. All of a sudden she dropped dead and nobody knew why.

At first I wanted to go hunt for my family. Make some traps for rabbits and stuff. They told me they had no traps, which was why I was going for being a rabbit hunter. We already had tons of food and a little milkweed farm as well. We had most everything you could have asked for, even in terms of tools. But I wasn't able to craft more than one trap, so I decided to help my parrents with carrot farm. Soon enough, my Uncle gave me his precious hat. It may have been just a fur hat, but to him, as well as me, it was more than just that. I took it with pride. I told him that he looked still young, until I looked closer onto his face. I then saw some wrinkles in his face.

Not long after, he had his last chat with Mom. He was standing on the carrot field with her as he was saying good bye. I told him to get off the carrot farm and die somewhere on the greenfield next to us. It took him a while, but he eventually got his old bum going. For whatever reason he picked up a basked of carrots, as he was running towards the greenfield. I don't know what was going through my Uncles head at that point, but it was kind of funny to look at. Then he dropped dead to the ground as he was running. I was still laughting about him running as he took that random basket filled with carrots. But soon after I payed respect to his corpse, saying RIP to my dead Uncle as my Mom is standing right next to me. She was mumbling something about him. She said she always knew he was something something. I don't know what exactly she was referring to, and even when I asked her about it, she didn't tell me. Oh well..

After the death of my Uncle, my Mom started to get lost about her job. I was already a grown up dude who was able to take care of himself. So I told her to stop watering our farm. We had more than enough food with just the berry bushes around us. And since she was already too old to get more kids, there was no need to keep the farm going at this point. I told her to get more baskets, as we were running out of storage space for our carrots and seeds.

While Mom was heading to the west to get us some baskets, I tried to clean up the big mess that our camp was. There was so much stuff laying around, mostly carrots and seeds. I looked at which baskets I could empty to fill them the farm good. You know, I always see people stashing away so many milkweed seeds. You really don't need to stash away more than one basket of them. When you pick milkweed in the right way, it always will leave behind an infinite amount of seeds. People don't have to worry about them later on. Only early on when you are trying to start a milkweed farm from ground up, that's when you want to stash away a bunch of seeds to transfer them to your camp or whatever.

I didn't expect Mom to come back alive. She was gone for so long for such a simple task. She knew where she was finding reed for the baskets, that's what she told me. But eventually I heard footsteps closing in on me. But they sounded like they were coming from north. At first I thought it might be some stranger that is trying to survive, but as it turned out that wasn't the case. I found Mom back at the farm when I was running back to it after I tried to locate the footsteps of her.

We were able to clean up a good amount of stuff. Most carrots and seeds where stashed away. Then I had a little chat with Mom. She told me how there was nothing more to do for on our camp. Other than the traps that I wanted to build when I was still a young child. But I found stacks of rabbit fur laying around close by, so I figured I didn't even need to hunt for us all that badly. We were doing fine in terms of clothes. The only thing we lacked were backpacks.

Mom started to get old. Like really old! She told me how proud she was for me. I told her that she did a very well job as a Mom. She was the best Mom I could have hoped for. I loved her.
I told her that we're going to see each other in our next life. RiP Mom. And then she died right next to me...

I took her corpse up north above our farm. I dropped her corpse under my home marker, with a plate of rabbit pie under her. I didn't know what else to put to her corpse as a rememberence, but who doesn't like pie? Rabbit pie is the best! Even in death. After that I took my Uncle's corpse and placed it next to my Mom's corpse. Of course I put another plate of Rabbit pie underneath my Uncle's corpse. I got a little emotional over the burying process of my family. But live had to go on! So I went back to the camp soon enough.

I was checking out the south side of our camp and found a road that was leading to east. I don't know who exactly built it, maybe my Uncle, maybe someone else. I wanted to continue working on it, but there were no butt logs around for me to craft boards. So I was searching for the axe all around the camp and close to the end of the road, but nothing. I couldn't find the axe for the life of me. So I said fuk it.

I went back to the farm and decided to make some compost and some extra baskets. I was surprised how close the swamp was with all it's reed and ponds. It had me question why it took my Mom so long to get the baskets for us earlier. I took her at least 5 to 8 minutes. Something that should have been done in a little less than 5 minutes. Maybe the reeds that I found which where basically right next to our camp, weren't there when she was looking for them. That's probably it.

Anyways! I did 4 piles of compost and made 4 extra baskets. At that point I didn't know what to do anymore. I tried to make arrows, but realized that I needed strings for them, which we didn't had a whole lot around. So I scraped the arrow making idea. I got some goose feathers nonetheless, in case someone else might find our camp someday.

I started to feel old. I figured I use some of the traps that I have done and get a little more rabbit fur, just because. I decided to make one more shoe and a backpack. I screwed up with the backpack and forgot to add two cut rabbit furs to it. I managed to find some extra strings, so eventually I was able to craft my backpack. I wanted it mostly to help me out with building the road to the east, to stash some food in it. But at that point I already had given up on that idea, so I just made the backpack for shits and giggles. I'm sure someone is going to stumble across our camp at some point and that person is going to appreciate the backpack, for sure.

I felt my time was coming. I had to say good bye to my little camp. It was much more fun to help building it than I expected at first. And I'm glad I stuck around with it.

Now it's time to get some rest. I took my plate with rabbit pie and ran up north to my families graveyard. I took my clothes off and put them next to me. Then I took one last bite from my rabbit pie, before I put it down under me.

This was it. My last couple breaths, before I would collapse down to the ground, between my Mom and my Uncle.

RiP!

I really like the idea of something like a time travel machine. Just something that allows you to either get young again, or to prolong your current life.

To have the option for this is what makes this a great concept.

My last live was really fullfilling. I made sure to raise a lot of kids in my old camp. I was pooping kids like a machine gun. At some point one of the kids fk'ed us by eating the seeding carrots. At that point I abandoned my old camp and ran to the new camp that I found earlier not far from south. I told everyone about our two camps that were close to each other. I then started to make floor tiles to connect the two camps. Luckily someone else helped me after I asked her. She never said anything, until the end when she was about to die. She talked about the road that both of us were building and that we need to get a big civilization going. And then poof.. turned into a bone of piles.

I continued on, I wanted to finish the road to connect both of our camps before I died of old age. And I did it. We did it. I saved on wood by leaving atleast one free space between each floor tile, sometimes even two. That way I could build a faster and a longer road without having to waste too many boards, and less walking of course.

In the end, a lot of people seem to have been missing. From more than 15+ people, I only saw around 5 peps at the end. Hopefully they will make it.

There was only one guy left at the old camp where I started at. I told him about the new camp that was at south and that the roads are connected now. Then I turned into a pile of bones, just like my old pal before me, who helped me build the road. The road took about 30-ish boards or so.

I really feel like I accomplished a lot that life.

Papa bless!

Might want to add that wild berry bushes are always going to regrow berries, even if you take all the berries. (one berry every 10mins.)
