One Hour One Life Forums

he went rampant last night, he was clearing bugs like crazy, i got the dead tree/sealed slashed rubber tree non-hungry work issue solved in an hour or less

i still would prefer some actual content, all we ever have is water issues

well you gotta be brown to us the jungle so no point if you other race

the safest way of blocking them is bell bases or stone walls since they go ancient and be unremovable
bll bases cheaper originally, you can block a tile with half a stone, but for safety you upgrade them

as for the mosquitoes, count every one of them in the biome, for 7 you need 7 tiles, so look for an edge on the biome which is straight, they biome locked so you need to surround them 2 sides, if it's od number, look for a tile outside, if even then a straight corner
you need to block 2x4 for 7 for example, 2x3 for 6 and so on. that's x+y+1 walls, so 9 blocks to block seven or 7 to block 6, and one of them will move freely

the best way of pushing them is using property fences since it counts as an item and they can't sit on top of them. if you go side to side then they can't attack you, since they can get behind you. they decay and disappear so you need to be fast.
you can make a wall on the middle, then again half of that, then when you got a small space, you need to make the bell bases for them, except one tile they can go in. then is a bit harder, you need to wait them move and drop the fences right after they move, so they are forced inside the pen.
then just close the last tile and they are blocked
if you still got time, upgrade the bell bases to full, they will go ancient and it's unremovable

it worked better when jungle was available for everyone and had a perfect temperature, now just browns use it. and you can only use it for certain things, not the best to live inside it. Rubber trees can be used only once, you can cut them when you got the rubber. You can plant more for further rubber closeby. Sugar can also be planted but it doesn't worth it, other than for the look of it, since you don use much and here is plenty in the world. Other than that, you only need a mango tree for tattoos, can be planted and have fruits, not too many, one is enough. Wild has leafs as well and no but logs so farming it isn't good.

yeah but it won't count as the centre when making later on

I saw some of this by occupying new wells clsoe to towns which had Newcomen wells or stolen engines
was a bit weird sometimes, like ginger town had the homeland border 3 tiles inside the bakery

I was marking the homeland border once, with clay, mom was eve and I led them to expert waystone then to black fam then to an unused city, but we couldn't claim it

took my sister to a new well and she had 2 girls, but we were moving between the old and the new camps so wasn't sure if the kids smart enough to go back to have kids, hours later I got back and was thriving

I guess we could make outposts and even wall the homeland border but 100 tiles are a lot, too far from camp, might work with a road and a rac specific biome, otherwise no point making them randomly. Like a big jungle with rubber farm or a big desert with glasswort, or a fishing hut.

Veterans don't do 2x2 or they aren't really veterans

One thing I do often is helping other fams when I'm male or not wanting kids. Actually can be profitable that you can work on their blocking biomes, one time I got a ton of firewood for a town from the ice biome. Other time I tried to clear up their jungle from mosquitoes, I was a bit late, was 55 when I got the stones, If I place them I still would have needed like 5-10 minutes to push the flies inside and close it. and it would still needed double up on bell bases and become ancient.

I mean I did everything that's possible in this game, and got one of the highest average lifespan scores, basically I never even die of hunger, less than 5% of the games maybe. I still meet this know it all 100 hour players who don't even know what I'm doing and why but spit out bullshit about it.

But that's not surprising, hours don't matter that much, even morti needed explanation of latest mechanics I was abusing.

Then this little hope players who got every clothing and 4 pies in a pack while others are naked and starving but all they do is talk shit and roleplay or walk around judging others while they don't do shit for the hour. Then butthurt noobs who get offended by anything, like you trying to cook some rubber in the oven.

Overall is not much to do, some players want to contribute but you can't send a newbie to get oil to be able to farm afterwards. Dunno, it's a mess nowadays, you rarely get good players working together.

the car doesn't worth it, lets nerf horse damn so dumb

and cars are still one way trip to get lost since most people are filling it once and run it until it goes
if they don't work as a boomerang, it won't work. One o my ideas was that cars could only be used on connected roads, so even if you lose it, it's still usable by someone somewhere. Resource-based work modes won't work if you can't guarantee that the used up resources worth less than the advantages it provides. It's like running a lamborghini to get milk. Not even useful and not even a requirement to have cars so it's an expensive toy that 90% of people can't use properly.

I wouldn't say rarer, I would say it's grouped

since I don't play much, but when I do then a few hours, I saw towns I can't get back to in the next day
the ginger town I saw had 2-3 mines, an everything 80 NS direction had 2-3 mines possibly

the brown town I had y fence project, had shittons of iron, someone even made like a triple railroad from it

I just really preferred the randomness on it, and exploration was more rewarding, now is generic grid based poop ad you got to stick with noob eve camps for wells and iron

yes, I was posting a complaint and he seems really stubborn on the change

I told him that this iron system ruined even further the population/work ratio since there is no benefit of having more people just fewer resources per capita, he still thinks that work balances that out, I really doubt that, a few vets live forever and a lot of noobs die very quick, that is not balanced enough, 90% of the job is moving shit, processing takes a few seconds, the only way of splitting the work is letting others do the processing part but like there is not much reason for that.

so far 12 no, 6 yes and 3 people think it's too much hassle

for the map: i like huge biomes, a big swamp really helps on the long run, you can have more floors and space to build
your speciality biome closeby, 30-50 distance really helps to stay fertile while doing your speciality items
generally big biomes of any kind. they have more useful resources, fragmented ones got weird jackpots and take up a lot of space which you cannot use. too close and too fragmented can be good for you but not for others that come after you, sad to see biome locked items because of careless players. ice can be a bit further since there is no reason to plant there, rubber and glasswort farms need to be close. ice is also self-sustaining for the most part.
hard to get more resources than usual but I would say that clay, reed and stones are always useful, small groups of bushes very close to each other and small groups of rabbits close to camp (haven't saw much of this but you can block the savannah and push rabbits closer to home)

not generic 3x3 farms, enough space to put down items
a few buildings, honestly i don't care much about insulation, just make enough storage on them and optimize for work
i really liked pens connecting to the bakery, it can still have insulation
pork should be further because people still confused about them and has no use taking in an out the bakery all the time
building seem to limit bushes somewhat, so if you put a road and a wall after the bushes, it wont extend that way and possibly will no extend the other way either because symmetry

i would say the most important early is flooring. a lot of times i made fortresses and last time i even made a ring shape butchery and tree walls, people take over and really like them, its unique and more interesting

late-game tree planting before you reach 30 and finish before you got 60 so its sure it grows out
pine for needle firewood and boards
maple for shafts, some poplar for branches and sideway walls that don't cover much

I really liked this, found a well by accident, returned 3 times to build it up, eventually was connected to the new  oil city
