One Hour One Life Forums

I think it might have something to do with people needing a relatively high gene score to get to be Eve at all. New Eve's should spawn, but it can't be one of the bazillion new players. Veteran players however live much longer than the average noob.

Say there's 8 noobs and 2 veterans, noobs live to age 10 on average (which is generous in this situation), veterans to age 60. If looking at gene score, only the veterans should get to be Eve.

The birthrate isn't 80% noobs and 20% veterans, cuz the noobs can live 6 times as many lives as the veteran can in the same amount of time. This means babies are more like 96% noobs and 4% veterans. Then count in that the veterans aren't fertile for over half their life, and all the babies get dumped on the ones that are. In the next life, the veteran may have tanked so much in score that they don't get to be Eve (again), but instead they're born as girls into an existing family. Once there are enough girls in the family, boys start being born. No new families, but a large influx of players being dumped on a still low number of fertile women.

Can also consider that the players with the highest gene score in the game at any given time (setting that bar for who gets to Eve) only play one life and then decide not to play another. They would get to Eve, but simply don't because they don't want to indulge in the madness. Anyone with a lower score doesn't get to Eve cuz of being compared to that player who doesn't actually play after.

Sorry but everyone has problems in their life. Life isn't perfect and it never will be.
Not being able to walk doesn't mean they're a special case. Neither does not having much of a social life.

You showing pity for someone with a disability, but being rude to anyone else makes you look like a massive asshole tbh. Just treat people respectfully. You don't know what they've gone through, even if you think they're 'normal'.

I like the donkey idea! Any family can get them, they can help you carry a lot of stuff and travel thru difficult areas, but they're not necessarily fast. It's perfect for nomads and traders.

Perhaps you'd have quite some storage, but have to guide the donkey by hand and -here it comes- if needed you can have it carry a baby (up until u cant pick them up anymore)????? This helps you travel even if you have a bab. You do need to take them down to feed them, but the donkey keeps them nice and warm.

Pinning an existing map seems like a good idea! It gets rid of the issue of people potentially just putting waystones heckin anywhere leading to home markers that mark.. nothing. A map requires just enough effort to make this work without issues. It kinda reminds me of how we mark graves.

I do definitely like the idea of getting the map back after. You could make multiple waystones in different places while reusing the same map.

Man I had a life where a lil boi and I were born right after each other and kinda stuck together our entire life. When I'd get a bab the first thing I'd do was show the kid to its father and we'd decide on a name together. We both died of old age (again almost at the same time ofc), surrounded by all our kids.
That life was precious.

1. Hey bab
> Find clothes and bp for bab, listen if it tries to say anything. If no clothes, I often give away some of my own. They need the warmth more than I do cuz I can survive longer w/o food. Very rarely I'll give away my own bp as well, but only if I feel my kid needs it more than I do. If I can't find clothes/bp I do also tell them there's a lack of that stuff (so they can work on it if they want to).

2. Have you been here before? / Do you know this place?
> Asking this question helps me figure out what I need to know. If players are new, they often tell me at this point.

2a. If they have seen this place, I tell them what's going on / what's needed the most.
2b. If they haven't seen the place, I'll show them the main areas (farm, bakery, smithy, sheep) and answer any questions.
2c. If I'm still unsure about how experienced the kid is by this point, I'll ask my kid if they're new.
> This helps the kid get settled in the town and allows them to figure out what they want to do. It makes sure they know where to find food and know what options they have for things to do this life.

3a. If experienced player, at age 3: Do you know what you want to do?
> If yes, I let them go
> If no, I repeat what needs to be done and possibly what I was working on, then ask them whether they want to stay with me or look around by themselves. I always tell my kids they can do whatever they want, even if I said 'we need someone to find oil' or something.

3b. If new player, at age 3: Do you know how to farm?
> If no, I'll teach them how to farm (berries first, then planting things). / If yes, do you want to learn anything else?
> If they don't want to learn, I let them go. Some new players just want to run around and try stuff, or maybe look at other people to learn like that.
> If they do want to learn something else, I generally see what's needed (making compost, baking, smithing) and go from there. This teaches my kid from the start to look at the state of the game and do things because of that, instead of just learning things cuz they want to. I sometimes explain this as well, mostly if a kid wants to learn something that isn't needed (if a kid said they want to learn how to bake but the kitchen is full of people baking and there's plenty of baked foods already, I show them the kitchen and say it's not really needed right now, but there's no compost or w/e so we could help out by doing that).

While teaching my kid I generally force feed them a lot cuz they tend to forget to eat while listening lmao

4. If my kid wants to leave when they grow up, I generally drop them off near food (usually farm, sometimes bakery) and always remind them to put some food in their bp, or, if they don't have one, bring a basket or bowl with food with them.
> I really feel this helps them survive the first few lethal minutes where food is heckin important and sometimes there's just not enough of it to go around. Better for them to have some berries in their bp than coming back to eat and there not being any anymore. Young kids just don't have enough time to then run around and figure out where to find food.

Yes except I'm not trying to put this on the wolf, but on 'society' for victim-blaming instead of taking proper measures to prevent this in the first place

+1 on this idea! So it'd just write the current home marker location to an immovable / readable object? As for graphics, perhaps the freestanding newcomen foundation 2 could have an arrow on the top stone, to make it more obvious that it's a waystone (and not just 2 stones stacked on each other).

When I saw the update was rolled out I decided to check the forums before playing, and feel like that was the right decision. I'll wait a bit for things to calm down so I can actually play.

I was born to a pseudo Eve in a pretty bad spot, so I traveled east to find abandoned towns. Bumped into what was once Darwin town, so that's populated again for now w/ my children and grandchildren (Wave family). Hope it survives.

Girl kids and kids for smaller families are forced now right? So they can't just have died out because of a lack of kids?
I guess murdering all girls might be too easy w/ families still being quite small, otherwise ye people might just leave.

What I assume is that since people have been stuck in the rift for so long, there is a hunger for exploration and pseudo-eve towns now the possibility is there again. It might get less frequent in a while. Problem rn is that families are (still) so small that if one girl leaves, she might take the entire family's new population with her, practically dooming the bigger city cuz it doesn't get many new kids/girls.

I'm 99% sure they do cuz that's how I always use my horse and the only other explanation is me getting EXTREMELY lucky every time with the horse just choosing not to run out of the biome I parked it in
