One Hour One Life Forums

I have to agree with RedBug, I will always support players who want to learn, even if they are "wasting food."

I once taught a player how to fire pottery.  Then I told him "remember to eat" and he starved like 10 seconds later   I didn't judge, I just hope he had a good time.

Teaching and being taught is one of the most rewarding experiences in the game.  But I don't think the game is balanced for it, I can only really teach in big cities.

Something (optional) you can try Adriaan is if you are born as a boy just run into the wilderness.  You absolutely can live until 60.  Pretend you are an eve and make pottery and get a small farm going.  But... you have to get the knowledge of farming, firemaking, and pottery first.  You could do that in game or you could use onetech like me.  I guess this is a cop-out because I just said how rewarding learning/teaching is... but I just could not overcome the stress of the early game and not knowing what to do.  So I spent some alone time in the woods learning before I rejoined society.

I agree with Jason on #1.  Crafting in this game is really unique.  It does "feel" like building/baking something.

On #2: I have never had enough time/food for this so called "experimental style of play."  I've had exactly 2 lives where I wasn't constantly worried about my next meal.  I'd be surprised if many people play that way.  More power to them, whoever they are, it sounds hard as ****.

I, on the other hand, have onetech open on my phone at all times so I can search recipes as needed.  I also play on a private server where I try out almost every recipe before I use it in game.  I've smithed, maked stew, composted, baked pies, all before I was confident enough to do them in a real game.  If I didn't have that private server I would have probably stopped playing by now just because the actual game is so freaking stressful.  I don't think its balanced for an "experimental style of play."

Dear Mom, Rella Rabbit. http://lineage.onehouronelife.com/serve … &id=431197

Thank you for saving me.  I know I already thanked you in game, but seriously.  It was such a pleasure to live and work in that town.  I prefer life as a boy but I know that means I'm not always going to get a fair shake at life.  No one would have blamed you for abandoning me out in the wilderness where I was born, but I'm just really thankful you didn't.

Forestry update is my #1 most desired feature right now.  It just opens up so much more to do, since wood is hard to transport people will need carts.  More axes needed.  Move pies to where the loggers are.  Higher clay demand to make pie plates.  If trees require soil to replant, more need for compost.  Road building would expand due to increased log production, assuming the city balance it with other needs.

I feel like this could make the end game a lot more lively.

The worst is when people use the soil left near the berry farm to expand the farm not feed it.  Dumping a little extra soil is not an invitation to plant more bushes while existing bushes are going brown.

Dear unknown Panda relative.  I hope you don't mind, I finished your sheep pen.

You see, I was a young boy.  I was spoiled, I had a backpack of my own as soon as I left my mother's arms.  The town was rich and I walked the main street by the berries wondering what to do with my life.  There were pies and piles of soil.  Maybe rabbits, I thought.  Then I wondered to the south west of town and saw it: a sheep pen with 3 walls.  Not just any pen, a beautiful pen.  One wall of boxes, 2 of stone.  All stone blocking corners but one with stakes already laid out.  But the 4th wall... there was no indication of your will.  I decided on something permanent rather than expandable, there was a bear cave close that made any but a small expansion moot.  I was struck by inspiration when I saw a nearby pile of snow.  I spent by formative years travelling south... I found a savanna with four rose bushes and brought back the hips.  I was losing hair by the time the roses were all grown and blooming.  I took a seed and put it in the snow for future generations.  By the time I died, the pen was filled with sheep.

Thank you, whoever you were, for making this possible.

Murder is not essential to the core vision of the given Jason's trailer and description.  Its contributing to society in a small meaningful way.  Murder is a necessary evil bought on by the need to allow players to stop bad behavior.  This is not a PVP game.

Edit: It is a game about society, and society contains murder.  I would hardly say that "murder" is the fun part of society though.

The game does do temperature calculations across tiles.  If a floor buffered the biome temp (made it more to the temp center) and walls blocked temp transfer (do they already?) then buildings could work within the existing system.  You'd put walls so less of the outside hot/ cold got in and floors to buffer the interior temp.  I think that is all possible but its hard to be sure.

Rather than explaining the situation, Yang is going straight for the throat.  Like you know, some of the murders in this game. 

Recently murder has been de-buffed.  We have healing now.  And it takes something like 60 seconds for the murder to drop their weapon.  I once stabbed someone because they asked me too and I was like "welp" and starved to death holding the knife.  I think there is still a debate to be had if people don't find this enough once the dust has settled (sorry Yang, people are never going to stop talking about game balance).  Personally I'd like to be able to use non-deadly weapons in groups to mob-kill people as a means of village defense.

Murderers suck, but I will always argue that the ability to kill people is necessary.  Without it, people could grief in lots of other ways and no one could defend themselves.  Someone could shout racist stuff and you couldn't kill them.  Someone could take all the food, staving everyone, but they wouldn't have to be sneaky because you could do nothing about it.

Also- splitting the player base into killing allowed and killing not-allowed servers is probably not feasible given the current low pop and also not really something Jason should spend his time on.  However, you are more than welcome to host your own private server that has killing disabled.  You could even advertise it on the custom servers thread.

Agree.  However this will not stop people from working in fields.  They'll just place one floor tile under the thing they need.  We need some motivation to enclose floors in walls.

Animals are not intelligent creatures who hunt you down.  Surely you can see why some people would complain about one and not the other?

This is not a pvp game.  Pvp is an option, but its not the focus.  If you kill just so you can have make the other person have as bad of time as possible or kill them to try to get them to quit the game completely, that is griefing.  If you shout racist shit while doing it you are just there to ruin other peoples experiences.

A little killing here and there is necessary or else you couldn't defend against people taking all your stuff or eating all your food.  Those are in game reasons.  Its "realplay."  Griefing is not that.
