One Hour One Life Forums

Yeah but the general vibe of the update is don't trust people who look or talk different from you. I mean having red hair is not a race seperate from white irl either. It is more about the game encouraging you to kill other families before they kill you because now swords exist. It just feels bad to me. I don't like the game pushing that type of idea, but this update obviously isn't designed for people like me who like taking care of their children and advancing their cities.

The only changes I would want to the slash die option is to make the sids baby bones decay instantly instead of cluttering up the towns. Also picking up a baby the first time should be free (not cost a hunger pip). I don't want kids who don't want to play in my village, forcing them to stay won't make the town a better place they will find another way to leave.

I agree with morti that these changes may be tough on the average player. While people who are active in the forums and read them every day have a lot of time to think about what to do when the patch goes live most other players just log in and everything is different. This experience can be frustrating when the change makes the gameplay more difficult like in the temperature update. While I am excited to see what will change in the game with this update you may want to consider adding a " warning big changes ahead" in a place where everyone will see it.  This wouldn't be necessary for content like clothes and new fun foods and tech just for stuff like this.

I do like the idea of feeding non sheared sheep for lambs but we do have the ability to keep down the dead animal clutter.

I was more thinking someone just eating to waste food.  Like trying to eat all the berries or pies to starve the town. Just coming up with as many easy solutions to common griefing tactics as I could. I also don't think it should punish any over eating, maybe just something like over eating the same food more than three times in a row with only one or two pips missing.

If there was a way you could attach a bellow to a forge so no one could steal the bellow. Making adding a lock to a door a long process that could be interrupted like claiming property. Making it so you have to take down branches before cutting down useful trees would force the axe to be set down in between cutting useful trees and allow you to interrupt deforestation. Only allowing one tool to be carried in a cart at a time would slow down tool hiders. Not allowing a structure to have no entrance (fences and buildings). There are so many ways the game could be tweaked in favor of those who want to see a town survive.

What if instead of restricting what each separate city can do you make some late game tech that requires working together with another city. Like each belltower completed at least 1000k away from another bell tower gives half of a blueprint for something cool(like robots or lazer guns). Trade might happen naturally as we would want to help other cities grow to the point where this blueprint event happens. Also war might happen naturally if only one of the towns can keep the complete recipe. This is late game stuff though. As was said before the early game is already pretty good. Making drastic changes will wreck that balance and the temperature changes have already made being an eve a lot harder.

This just doesn't sound fun. Relying on other players in game is already a coin flip whether they will help or not. Also if everyone in your family can only do a couple of things well that is all everyone will do. Have you ever tried hunting rabbits if two people are there hunting already? (It is really annoying) Being forced to do one task all life would ruin the game for me, the variety of things I can do in game is what keeps it interesting.

In order to start a super basic eve camp you missed that we also need wheat or reeds for baskets for the soil. Carrying thing one by one back to camp would be really annoying as well.

The same type of idea could be good for non family members if the can't curse outside of family thing is implemented. It will be hard to tell if someone is not from your family because we all shares the same character sprites if their name was purple or something like that we could easily tell family from strangers.

If we can only curse our family anyway it would make sense not to need a last name in the curse.

ie If I was part of the bean family I would only need to say curse Sally II not Curse Sally Bean II

The curse could potentially be a lot shorter that way so younger people could curse

Be aware that you may have short sighted babies who don't know where to go! I love when mom takes me on a village tour

You are right I was thinking more about what toxic had said.
What I was trying to get across was arguing rarely if ever changes peoples minds and usually just adds fuel to the fire.  Whatever was just defending a position that I don't agree with sorry for lumping them in with toxic.
