One Hour One Life Forums

As in exactly what I recommended in my post *faceplam*

Okay so more testing has just left me really confused. On my server doing a proper close Ctrl+C causes old natural resources like milkweed,clay and burdock to respawn, but the items made are persisting. Just closing the terminal causes no saving.

Well theres no need for four base level ways of making rope. Either they are all made equal, and then redundant, or one will be the best and then the others will be useless. Yes in real life there are a variety of ways of doing just about anything, but with things like early agriculture and textile production, people used the species that were in their area. In OHOL, you can grow anything in any biome, and seeds from any of the biomes can be found usually in less than a minute walk(assuming you arent searching and are just going to where you know they are), meaning that people will not waste time with other methods, save for eve/ her children doing a quick fix if those other seeds aren't quite so readily available. Thats why I think other rope methods, no matter where exactly they are in the tech tree, should be somewhere higher up in it. Doing this even without any new plants would give a real use to the machine tools, because currently its cars and planes and radios which while cool, have negligible actual benefit.

*** Also, all of those plants IRL(and there are way more than just those) have anywhere from huge to subtle differences in their properties, which is too much for this game; we don't care about a ropes luster, smoothness, tensile strength, water resistance etc. Like with thread, a thread is a thread is a thread, it doesn't matter if it comes from milkweed or sheep. Same for boards, we dont get different butt logs from each of the trees, branches might be different but they all turn into kindling.***

****Unrelated but IRL, yucca rope making is such a pain in the ass omg. Im weaving a coil basket out of homemade yucca cordage and grass and it took days to make just like 10 meters of cordage.  You have to boil the yucca, and then let it soak for about a day before stripping it of the leaf matter(less time if you boil it for a long time but its a lot of fuel to keep a large pot boiling for 10 hours and dangerous to leave unattended). You can do it on raw yucca but its so hard and wastes a lot of the fibers. Even with the long soak, that thin diameter of cordage that I made still took about 3 hours to strip and clean it and that was with a nice flat countertop and a knife; I can only imagine the work to do it with just rocks and whatever else you can find in nature.****

You could do both and still have both be worth it though. Meat could be only slightly stackble, say 3 rabbits or two mutton, but you could fit 4 mutton in reg box/cart, 6 in upgraded cart, and say 8 in the hypothetical upgraded large storage. having two boxes next to an oven, and some more boxes around the perimiter of the bakery already provide tons of storage, so any future storage update will need to be tech locked in some way, maybe half an iron per storage unit. If its shelves, my vote would be one steel gets made into two shelving brackets, adding one bracket to a fence kit gives a shelving kit, and adding this to the two board pile would give a shelf capable of holding 4 items on each of its shelves.

*** Okay also to make sure they dont end up unremovable, before adding to the boards, you should have to add a rope to the shelving kit. Using an adze on the shelves yields boards and a shelving kit without rope.

I think its because the server saves daily, there is a settings file you can change, but anything done before or after a save wont persist after a restart, at least I think so; I have all kinds of strange and unexpected behavior when I try to run my own servers, such as "permanent" items, like random oven bases and floors disappearing if I go too far. Having animals double up on subsequent logins, once causing the swamp around (0,0) to get filled with an obscene number of boars has happened, and I also cannot place floors, Ill get a random number of them that stick, but at a point, afterwards every time I put down the flat rock or boards, they just disappear and im left holding the stakes.

So i'm now having a problem where I cannot place floors, sometimes ill get to place one or two, but after, every time I add the materials to the floor stakes it just disappears and there is no floor. If I make a test map, and place any floors as well, those floors end up as actual objects that can be picked up and moved around.

Wut?, how?

If the foods are readily present. To get past 10 in a developed village usually means you are eating fresh corn and carrots, or are making berry+carrot/rabbit pies, which have been shown mathematically on another post to not be worth it on the yum. Even worse, to go higher means someone is making tacos or baked potatoes or some other crap. If someone has made all of those "bad" foods, then you should only be yuming on them if you are trying to get some girls. You couldn't possibly be saving time in town over just keeping a couple mutton pies in a pack or near your work station. Also, any time you may have saved with your yum was probably lost on the person who had to make a bunch of different foods vs just making more stew or mutton pie. *another valid use of yum is increasing elder productivity, but even then, I rarely ever push past 5 yum, and try to time it so that I hit that at 59. When you're old, you should be doing kid tasks or enjoying your retirement, and talking to your kids and grand kids to keep the social order.

I hate to be that person but just learn to type properly lol. You type a lot more than just in this game, as a child some of your macros may be too long to say and having that personalized touch helps pull people to your side or make them more invested in the town. When your touch typing is good, you can even type one handed without looking, you'll make errors but its totally doable. I went from being a hunt and peck, to having a fastest speed of 137 wpm on one sample at https://www.keybr.com/, but averaging 90wmp in about 6 months. You can get to 100% touch typing and doing so confidently in anywhere from a week to a month. Its really really worth it. It makes every interaction you make with a computer so much more pleasant. You could use any other website but I like that one because it gathers lots of data and uses it to personalize your tests to really hone in on not just weak keys, but whole weird combinations that really push you.

I think upgrading with a newcomen in a fine idea. An exhausted mine would need a pick used to remove the debris, then the regular newcomen foundation would be built. The pump beam kit would be attached after the engine. A deep drill kit would be made, using the pulley drive mechanism, and a large drill bit(3 iron? im not sure exactly) that would be attached. Each firing of the engine would reset the mine, and have x many chances to be used. Each time its run there would be an additional chance that the drill bit would break. Maybe it should even require a kerosene burner since its an essentially infinite source of iron. Maybe the mine has a random number of chances to be consumed completely, and an even more complex diesel mining rig could be built. Running the base upgraded mine on the exhausted shaft could produce stones or large rocks? It doesn't have to be literal, or make perfect sense; no mine IRL is just gonna have one stationary engine drilling straight down, but its a game and we already accept a number of abstractions.
