Completely understandable.

I don't see why anyone would want to share their account key with multiple people anyhow.

One reason comes to mind. Like if you grief too much and then don’t wanna accept your stay in donkey town.

Maybe he stole someone's account and is now posting in their name.

I personally think it’s balanced enough (honestly they’re maybe still slightly underpowered) right now and would be really underpowered with the initial 6 uses. Sure you could break even without that much trouble. But the sprinklers need to do more than just break even to be worth it, since you could alternatively use that same kerosene to get 4 water buckets from a Diesel well or 8(7) water buckets from a Kerosene pump.


Bruh, why would you use Kerosene to make 40 bowls of water when the Sprinkler can make Kerosene into 360 bowls of water for farming?

Oops. Didn’t see you got that much water out of the deal. I agree with Twisted though, that it’s still balanced due to the space and iron investment required. It also requires good organization to get the maximum amount out of them too.

How will the game let the new player know that they cannot eat anymore berries?   

If they just can't eat them, I expect a lot of new people will just straight up die.

They could get a warning, kinda like how you get notified when you need to eat more food for hungry work.

Like get a “yuck” emote and then a notification that says: “eat something else”

A grandmother headstone would also be nice. Or granma if grandmother is too much text for headstone.

I laugh because it feels so broken that scraping water out of ponds is more practical than constructing a new well or making a rubber tire.

It is very frustrating that we are stuck living in the dark ages because the water economy in this game is so poorly balanced.

Another problem is that the diesel well is freaking terrible. Easily the worst well by far, you are much better off using your kerosene on a kerosene Newcomen pump outside of town. So in many ways getting water from ponds is a much better solution to a towns water problem compared to the terrible reward you get from a Diesel well, considering how many hoops through the race restrictions it requires. Also language learning should really be looked at again and made much faster. Has anyone seen two different races that are not white be able to communicate with each other without the use of paper after the homeland update, because I sure haven't. The current language learning is outdated and balanced around a completely different era of multirace towns and is incredible unbalanced with our current situation.

That sounds like a frustrating time. I had a similar situation yesterday with the Manring family. When I was born there they had basically nothing. All berry bushes were dry, no food in the kitchen and no one was collecting firewood. The only thing the other villagers seemed capable of was farming and munching on 1 pip carrots, because the only thing I saw done was carrot farming (where all the many carrots farmed went missing not long after). It was a mess. So much so that I ended up leaving early on because there was barely enough food to sustain me. Eventually I found a black town and managed to get a fairly good yum chain going and then returned to help the Manrings again. Having a big yum chain going does help relieve some of the stress from trying to take care of a town. I didn’t fully fix it by the time I died, but I did manage to get a lot done. I kickstarted the compost cycle again, replanted wheat and corn farms and repopulated the sheep pen again, along other stuff I can’t remember off the top of my head.

#87 Re: Main Forum » New foods and new cravings » 2020-06-27 11:01:51

I like the cravings system. It gives incentive to pursue more difficult foods while not nerfing any other aspects of the game to do it. I hope he adopts this type of philosophy when implementing new mechanics in the future.

#89 Re: News » Update: The Pickle » 2020-06-20 22:50:40

And as a serious response to you Spoonwood:
Jason did promise to make a pretty extensive spice update with the new spices added in the future (pretty sure he said next week, but I might be misremembering it). Which means that the new spices (garlic, pepper, dill and more) will become more useful in an update in the near future.

Also as I’m pretty sure you know already, you can check the pip values and such on Onetech, as with any other update. Raw cucumbers seem like a pretty decent food, at least before the -5 food reduction kicks into gear, but the pickles do seem like a lot of work for what you ultimately get, like with a lot of the other added foods. I’m holding out hope that the future spice update will change that.

As you can now see, spoonwood is never impressed.

Instead of having the screen go white when we trigger the apocalypse, Jason could join the game as a mighty dragon and scour the earth black with his flames.

It would be so epic.

I second this. And if Jason is not available the highest scoring person online gets to be the dragon.

Edit: Imagine this highest scoring player to just suddenly turn into a dragon in the middle of an unsuspecting village instead of a sudden “you lose everything” apocalypse.

Oh, looks like WoodSpoon was just making up stuff after all. Didn’t see that one coming. Just makes his second attempt of trying to make us believe it when we caught wind of his nonsense (by claiming that he went to school with Jason’s son) all the more desperate.

lol yea, i know how to program c++, just never had much patience for graphics creation, like more to design efficient beautiful algorithms and data base structures...

its more, that i dont think that i would dedicate long time enough to learn in detail how OHOL works and then build up a second server with enough player base, since OHOL is currently heavily dependent of having enough players....

And how much effort OHOL is you can see in this video from Jason, I have very much respect for all the effort he put in:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mIPmjnsCPR4


Would be interesting to know if Jason wants to dedicate further to this project. He looked the last weeks "little bit" burned out. Also since he needs to finance his hole family from programming games, the current financial model of OHOL is not meant to sustain long term income, its based on the need of constant new players. So unless he changes his financial model, or the community starts supporting him financially i dont see a big future for OHOL long term game play. Or did OHOL make already that much income, that he can life up to retirement from it?


He is going to work on a new game

May I know where Jason has posted that he will no longer be working on more updates?
I haven't found anything about that?

Nowhere. Woodspoon supposedly got that information in an email Jason sent to him.
