I was here too. Cool stuff

always fun catching dialogue in the screenshots

nice when other people enjoy a creation

What I really want is for someone to outdo me with something bigger XD

I think the challenge now is to create increasingly more epic tombs like the Egyptians

True, but being able to craft complex stuff does make you 'not a bad player', 'not a noob', and likely 'not a troll'

Wrong. Systems that can be exploited just indicate the people who built them don't know how to program properly.

It is true, like with any software, there will be holes -- so you plug them. Eventually there are no holes.

You all seem to be missing the point here, which is that players with massive scores necessarily cannot be griefers.

I mean, sure, go and mine 200 iron in order to ban someone for one day.

Bruh, you just mined 200 units of iron. This is good. We need iron. It's a hard task to do. Maybe you've earned the right to ban one noob for one day.

Note, this will never work on a pro player because pro player's scores would be in the thousands, eventually tens of thousands, so they could block griefer powers all day.

That is the point. You can only accumulate massive score by being massively productive and playing a lot of hours.

Griefers and noobs will not be able to do this.

No. I would probably make tool making give 0 or at most 1/10 of a point.

Labor/time intensive and complex tasks are the ones that would yield large amounts of points.

Making all of the iron into knives would likely only accomplish you getting ban piled for a year.

The simple solutions you propose are simply not simple.

Advanced tech like nuclear reactors, robots/any automated agents or whatever would be hard to design and hard to code.

There are some fixes that are needed (mainly getting rid of biome restrictions) and yes, making families or biome band size further away solves this beautifully.

The problem with OHOL is it's just incomplete.

Simple solution is just to add infinite scalability, score boards, and rewards like any arcade game.

Discussed this at length here: https://onehouronelife.com/forums/viewt … p?id=10651

I do think experience and skills would be interesting though, especially if they were attached to your account like 'soul points' similar to meme score

But this is just really an extension of rewards as I mentioned.

I was going to do it but I'm leaving the country in a few weeks and don't have time for this.

Also, a simple solution to biome lock is to just leave the family you are born into or suicide and /die your way into whichever race you need.

This is very easy for rubber -- if you are black go to the brown town and vice versa.

Unfortunately, almost all of your game time may be spent making rubber/getting horses but at least the game is playable.

I've wrote about this type of stuff a ton so I'll just make a few quick points

For adobe, I recommend just riding or taking a cart out to a far away swamp and bring a shovel

Shovels create adobe when used on tule reed stumps, the cost of 1/2 iron (bring back the scrap) is well worth it

The clay and reeds also obviously make adobe as well and you can easily leave a swamp with loads

For mash, you can use buckets to move large amounts -- one bucket fits 6 bowls of mash and when you add them you don't need to use a stone to mash

You could also use a cart to carry multiple buckets if you wanted to -- and this mash can be used directly on a flat stone or bait bag for getting rabbits

With all this said, the only real important thing about farm design I'd say is that the bushes need to be near the kitchen and near sheep -- they are also harder to move

The most tedious thing I can think of is the amount of mash needed to make shirts/shorts so this is important

But what matters even more, imo is the smith

What is more complicated and costly is mass manufacturing required for engines and vehicles

I had an earlier design with a whole village layout but it was clunky and I have a much better meta for that -- maybe ill post it one day

The gist is you want two dedicated forges, one for crucibles, and then one further east a few tiles for dedicated newcomen forging

Then you want a bunch of kilns, ideally 6 or more for mass coal production they need to be close to the fire but best also to be below the smith because thats close to where crucibles typically are made

And finally, Sprinklers can be expensive for water and metal (see many forum posts)

That said, they are also outrageously efficient when used correctly (100x or more iirc) mainly because there is no upper limit on the return per bowl of water

For that though, you want a layout in a single, unbroken line which can be folded to fit better but must be unbroken because plows lose oil when they stop (ie. broken tile)

Plow are necessary for sanity and because the size has to be quite large to justify the metal expenditure.

In short, sprinklers require a whole other design none of which ever seem to 'take' and so just end up next to the farm in the rare cases where they are built (see my profile links)

pen 'space' is always a lot, laggy

all I've done is squeeze all of the sheep into the edges of that 'space'

you can either be roaming around with the sheep, trying to pick shit up in that shared space (terrible), or separate it

Race Restirctions Seem Like They are Against Multiplayer Survival by Spoonwood

People will come to know the game exists and it's their choice if they want to switch over

2hol is a very different game, from what I can tell.

My goal is to fix the problems while changing as little as possible.

For example, I will remove race restrictions but I'm preserving that spirit of the game by increasing the distance between bands.

To be blunt, the game now is at best incomplete and at worst broken.

Think of it more like an OHOL remastered than a 2HOL sequel.

To be more accurate: I would be stealing the player base, not the game

And, as I've mentioned, my goal is more of a hijacking job than a theft.

My only wish is to make the game more complete so that I can play a more complete version of the game.

I do not want to steal anything.
