One Hour One Life Forums

Yes, but you can only get a battle royale by removing everyone else's life tokens. Good luck and have fun in your new pvp game.

Just because you played on one of the off servers during the peak doesn't mean the 500x500 was okay at all. Between the rampant griefing, and food running out the center was pretty much unlivable to such a degree the auto-apocalypse would have potentially went off.

It was so bad that the server population HALVED itself from people running out of lives (partially due to harsh conditions and Jason upping the life token respawn time before the update.)

1000x1000 is much more roomy and isn't a bunch of people standing on each others toes from the looks.

If it works sort of like language I think it would be fine such as mother and children will pass on the skills their previous generations so if your branch of the tree were only bakers you'd be skilled in baking. On the flip side, if you start doing construction and have children you'll have talented bakers AND construction workers. Etc etc.

However if it's just everyone having to grind something up every single life I'm completely against it. I definitely feel once you master the game you shouldn't be in these weird situations where you have to ask someone "Hey, can you show me how to pick a leaf off a tree so I can make fire?" That is just completely silly in my eyes.

New play area will be 500x500 tomorrow or whenever the update comes out. He's setting it up where he can adjust the walls on the fly so I would assume he would swap the boundaries by about 250+ or something.

I've used them a few times personally to make private fishing holes mostly so I wasn't using up the towns berries/carrots/sheep for shrimping and I don't think I've ever had one of these kicked over since it's a pretty niche thing and probably signals the player isn't just hiding shit. I know last time I tried to put up a large gated area with a bunch of animals I collected someone pushed it over but as soon as I left the gate open and killed the dude no one had any problem with it since I was making sure to give access to everyone.

Private property is a problem because the people who put up fences generally just start hoarding shit within the fence which leads to people just kicking fences over without hesitation and I can't really blame them too much. Who wants to let the idiot start taking resources from town so he can have a baby milkweed farm he doesn't do anything with? I would assume most people would be more open to letting people fence off their own areas if people within the fences weren't so greedy or the fenced property isn't a hoarders pen.

Apparently you can't see the different lives between different computers. Was going to check how hard playing a male in an Eve camp hurt my memer score and found this instead.

Apparently Jason made my children into dickheads for disregarding the gene score system

Score works as such: As long as you aren't playing as Eve you'll receive a score for how long you live with 60 always being a positive, something close to your score breaking even, and anything less causing you to lose points. As a woman your direct line of kin born during your lifetime will also effect your score based on them living e.g. daughters, sons, grandchildren. Men are slightly different as they get all the points (negative or positive) from ALL their sisters instead which means playing male can be very volatile to your score if you care about it.

Which gets us to why or why not you should care.

It's on a leaderboard: I think this point is moot since it's a bunch of random names where everyone can claim to be any rank. Of course you can grab screenshots but why would you care about that in the first place lmao.

It gives food bar (or pip) bonuses based on score: Someone in last place will age like you have from the start where you'll lose all the way down to 4 pips at 59.5 while in the new system someone with a score of like 40+ will be closer to 9 or 10 pips by the time you die. If you've played the game long enough this is pretty trivial in the sense you know how to eat and pay attention in old age but if you're newer it makes reaching old age easier if you can't be mindful of your pips.

Basically it's a memerboard for people who have good rng on who they get as a child. Gives a little benefit in the long run but I would never ever play for score just like I wouldn't play this game just to eat food for an hour.

Yeah that was me. I was getting a knife to butter up some bread since I spent the early part of my life getting cows and a few buckets for milk. I ended up mostly just cleaning up the sheep pen and making plates and stuff for the pies we had. I was personally running out into the wilderness to fetch up the wheat/baskets since I didn't see a wheat farm in the village yet and figured we can always use more baskets at the end of the day. Made sure our cistern was filled up and we had plenty of charcoal for steel/running the pump.

Didn't feel very productive that life but at least stuff was going good when I died.

bUt DRAMA!!!11!!

I had a really nice little private fishing area set up with my three children in the Tang village and apparently some nameless twins (surprise surprise) of an Eve they welcomed into the village killed them because they accidentally left the gate open. :^) I even tried to do the correct thing and arm my children AND give them fences so they would be safe and guess what?

All three dead when I looked later to see how my fishmonger branch of the Tangs was doing. I've defended myself once successfully against an attack in the new pvp shit and you know what I had to do? Literally run away until they nearly starved to death so I could counterattack. Wowie, much conflict, great resolution. Forced to run around in circles for three minutes because we were both properly dressed while the only thing I could do is run and eat while she tried to catch up.

I don't think I've ever been in an "interesting" situation with swords once except where me and Morti tried to destroy ours. You can LITERALLY do everything right (fences, weapons, food) and still get have everyone get killed because swords are a dumb OP weapon that Jason can't live without. I'm not sure what the fuck you're supposed to do against raiders besides hope they get bored of the game.

You're gonna have sheep eating you carrots. While animals have a basic movement range they also have an extended movement range based off how cluttered an area is. For example, a sheep has a follow range of one (it will move one tile towards the player unhindered by clutter) BUT will move over up to four cluttered tiles to reach the tile on the other side. This means as soon as the sheep in your image moves right one tile it's possible for the sheep to eat the carrots and thus escape its pen.

So sheep can technically move five tiles and bears seven at max range with various other animals having similar movement ranges.

The problem is while he extended the heat grid to try to allow bigger rooms it's still centered on the player thus leaving anything bigger than the classic 7x7 room will create cold pockets within the room which sort of defeats the purpose of creating bigger rooms. The Tetris Z's work because it's the heat grid is always enclosed (except within the hallway itself so you'll have an enclosed environment without having to constantly open and shut doors which would lower the rooms temperature.

Looking at the image might be a little confusing but without overloading it with a bunch of colors but ideally wherever you stand in the room (minus the hallways of course) the heat grid will run into one of the blocks as demonstrated by the slightly darker boxes reaching a gray tile or wall. The only spot on a building a tetris door CANNOT go is the corner as this will fail to produce a blocked grid somewhere within the room. 7x7 rooms are by default the best way to build rooms for a area with doors but depending on how many entrances you're going to do the room needs to be 5x5 or 5x6 so the hallways isn't too far out which causes cold spots within the room. I am almost certain even a room shaped like this would end up working due to how the heat grid works and as such I'll give it a little test whenever I get some free time today.

The game only cares that there's a wall somewhere to block the out the grid and not that the area around it is also blocked.

Hopefully the color coding shows why the hallways work. It's basically the heat grid being blocked by the hallways exits (though the hallways will remain cold due to failing the grid test unlike the center of the room.

Pretty much this. Jason loves his DRAMA and if you aren't living a life with DRAMA you wouldn't enjoy the game very much by his standards. It would essentially just end up like the discord where someone keeps a list of all the known trolls and passes it around whenever someone wants to know who is a bad egg thus making it much harder for that person to play.
