One Hour One Life Forums

With the changes in heat, I've been born in a lot of towns where I spend my whole infancy in a nice warm nursery, with a rather non-responsive nanny, toddle out the door and then starve since I don't know where anything is.

I've started taking my babies on a tour before putting them in the nursery. I show them the berry fields, the pie area, I point out soup "to eat when older" I show them the smith, carrot fields, other farms and suggest a few jobs.  I don't give them one job just show them around, tell them what is possible.

Then I put them in the nursery, dress them if we didn't find anything while on the tour. Tell 'em they are cute and they better not starve or I'll kill them.

It worked!

In the lives that I did that all of my kids who didn't suicide (lot of that, real trash problem IMO) made it to at least their teens. I jude how I did by how long my kids live.

I need to start saying "when you have kids, you must take them on a tour as I did for you"

"that is our way child"

----

I think it would be even better to find out which job they want and help them get started, but by the time I do the tour, whatever I'm responsible for is already on fire (or NOT on fire) so, for medium and large villages with nursery's this seems good.

Also, please consider feeding toddlers even if they are dressed and picking up objects. The whole "you have hair, now live on your own" concept is kinda deadly.

1. What was the best mom you ever had, why?
2. What are efficient ways to improve survival for kids?
3. What are key things to mention on a child tour?
4. Why is it so hard to type in this game?

Pork. Is. Hell.

In multiple villages people have put pork in baskets and "helpfully" brought it to the bakery. I mean, it makes sense, that's what you do with mutton. It looks like mutton. One town was over-run with pork. It was all over the bakery, not in baskets, just a pork on every single tile, like a nightmare. I took it out to the grave yard and this lady brought it back in a cart! She was so happy and proud. Big smile. "Look what I found!"
12 porks!
I knew she was trying to help but it was hard to be nice, so I asked.

So, I ask
"making carnitas?"
"What that?"
"pork is useless"
"make pie"

Of course, I explained but it was hard since the pork looks so much like the mutton. Now I kill pigs on sight and haul the pork away, unless I see someone making tortillas.

Ideas (one or all would help):

-make pork look very different from mutton
-make pork function like mutton, in pork pies
-make pork able to be cooked directly like mutton
-make pork something that can go in stew, for more bars
-make pork smoke in to bacon, when cooked in oven, bacon could be cut with a knife and added to omelets for more bars.

Anyway, I got called a griefer for moving pork out of town.  I couldn't get mad. Totally looks like a griefer move if you think it works like mutton.

So, following the advice from another thread I looked for a lost village.

But, I spawned in to something much stranger. In this town everyone had on seal skin, everyone was planting stuff all over, no organization, everything mixed, but it... almost worked? Really the population was low so, the total jumble managed to function.

But, it was clear that clothing was an issue. Very indecent. Lots of ... dangling in that place.

I went to get string. And found the corpse of another who died getting string.

I brought it back and died on my next string run.

But the totally mixed up farm was wild.

What is the strangest town you have seen? I know someone here has seen something really wild.
